MisChibiOus - Anya Alstreim from Code Geass

Anya Alstreim is a Britannian Knightmare pilot from the anime Code Geass: Lelouch of the rebellion R2 (Code Geass: Hangyaku no Rurūshu R2)

At 15 she is the youngest ever to be made a Knight of the Round and is the Knight of six.


Due to suffering from amnesia she has little faith in her memory so constantly takes photos with her camera phone to update her blog. 

Anya's personality is distant and finds most things boring. She is unforgiving in battle.

Shattered Song - Princess Jasmine from Disney's Aladdin

Shattered Song cosplaying Princess Jasmine from Walt Disney's Aladdin.

Princess Jasmine is daughter of the Sultan, but wishes to see life outside the palace walls so runs away and meets Aladdin, a street urchin. She also made an appearance in the game Kingdom Hearts.

Aladdin was my favourite Disney film as a child, I even owned a Princess Jasmine barbie doll, this cosplay by Shattered Song definitely does the character justice! The details in this costume are fantastic, all the bead work, the necklace, and the wig! It's amazing. A true Disney Princess.

Unknown - Roy Lichtenstein

"In America the biggest is the best"

- Roy Lichtenstein

So it's another 'not really cosplay' post, but this real life reproduction of one of Roy Lichtenstein's famous pop art paintings is rather awesome and we thought it was worth sharing.

Tea is Better - Miku Hatsune from Vocaloid (Dark Woods Circus)

Miku Hatsune is a synthesised singing voice from the software Vocaloid 2.  We've featured rather a lot of Miku cosplays!

       "Ooh the deformity"

This Miku cosplay is from the song Dark Woods Circus, which also features several other Vocaloids. It's a dark song about the cruelty in circuses and freak shows like those during Victorian times, and the suffering and loneliness of the 'perfomers'.

Lovely cosplay by Tea is Better. You can view her cosplays here.

Unknown - Eiffel Tower Costume

This man ran the 2009 New York City Marathon, that's 26.2 miles / 42.2 km dressed as the Eiffel Tower
as if running a marathon isn't hard enough...

So admittedly it isn't cosplay, but it sure is impressive dedication! It's also a good costume.

Koyuki - Female Heroine / Lead Character from Pokemon Black and white

The playable character and heroine of the Pokemon Black and White series of games, named Touko トウコ in the Japanese and Hilda in the English version.
That's definately the worst player character name in the English games yet.

This scene recreates a moment in the game where as the player you ride the ferris wheel with your rival N in Nimbasa City.

Cosplayer is Koyuki making this the 3rd cosplay we've featured of hers!

Kipi - Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann

This is the final post in our Kipi week long special to celebrate her 23rd birthday last week. We hope you've enjoyed it! Today is a double post, Black Rock Shooter from the Black Rock Shooter OVA, and Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)

Yoko Littner is a formidable fighter, she has a large arsenal of weapons, most famous being her sniper rifle. She says the reason for her skimpy clothing is because it restricts her movements during combat. Yoko's dream is become a teacher.

Great cosplay by Kipi, very sexy.
Love the rifle and the boots!

Kipi - Black Rock Shooter from Black Rock Shooter

Today is the last day of our Kipi special to celebrate her 23rd birthday last Thursday, so to finish today is a double post: first Black Rock ★ Shooter from the Black Rock Shooter OVA of the same name, and second Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann.

Black ★ Rock Shooter lives in a desolate world, her counter part in our world is Kuroi Mato, an excitable high school student.

Kuroi Mato and Black Rock Shooter merge to save Mato's best friend Takanashi Yomi who has been possessed by Dead Master and disappeared from our world. It's a touching story of friendship between two girls.

Cosplay by Kipi

The chains are really cool, but it's a pity there's no blazing blue eye, though that would be very difficult to do without photoshop.

Kipi - Asuka Langley Soryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion

Asukua Langley Soryu from the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise is the 14 year old pilot of the EVA Unit 02. The EVAs are large mechas used for fighting against Angels, beings that attack Tokyo-3.

Asuka is only 1/4 Japanese and was raised in Germany. Despite German being her native language she speaks fluent Japanese.
She is very proud of being a pilot, and frequently wears her A10 Nerve clips in her hair to show this off.
Her pride and loud fiery nature hides a traumatised and insecure girl. She cannot cope with failure, and reacts badly to it.

Cosplay by Kipi

This post is part of a week long Kipi special to celebrate her 23rd Birthday.

Kipi - Chi from Chobits

Another Chi (Chii) cosplay, which is just a pretty as this one we previously featured.

In Chobits everyone who's anyone has a persocom - androids that are walking talking computers.

Chi is a chobit, an advanced persocom with the ability to feel true emotion. However when Hideki first finds her discarded in the trash she can only say one word - "Chi", and remembers nothing of her past. Hideki names her Chi and must teach her how to function, as she starts to learn about her past.

Cosplay by Kipi.

She makes a very sweet Chi!

This post is part of a week long Kipi special to celebrate her 23rd Birthday.

Kipi - Haruhi Suzumiya from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Continuing with this weeks Kipi special we have a cosplay by Kipi of Haruhi Suzumiya from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

"I have no interest in ordinary people. But, if any of you are aliens, time-travellers, or espers, please come see me. That is all!"

When entering high school Haruhi starts the SOS Brigade to investigate mysteries and unusual events, because normal things bore her and she cannot stand being bored!


Cute cosplay. I like the signature Haruhi expression, looks like she's up to some mischief!

This post is part of a week long Kipi special to celebrate her 23rd Birthday.

Kipi - Misa Amane from Death Note

 Another Misa Amane of Death Note cosplay by Kipi.

Unlike the previous Misa cosplay we've feature by Kipi, this one reflects Misa's darker side.

The claws are what make this cosplay stand out, and turn an otherwise relatively simple costume into some really impressive.

The outfit is from the Death Note manga Volume 4 cover.

This post is part of a week long Kipi special to celebrate her 23rd Birthday.

Kipi - Lenalee Lee from D.Gray Man

 Lenalee Lee from the anime and manga D.Gray Man is a 16 year old exorcist with the Black Order.
 
Exorcists use innocence, an anti akuma weapon, to battle the Millennium Earl. The manifestation of innocence is unique to each exorcist.
Lenalee's innocence type is initially equipment called Dark Boots which increased her speed and strength.

Lenalee was forced into the order against her wishes and had to be restrained due to numerous escape attempts, but she started to settle in once her older brother Komui joined as the Science Department Supervisor to see her again.

This costume is Lenalee's 1st Black Order uniform (and my favourite!)

Kipi - Miku Hatsune from Vocaloid 2

Continuing with this weeks Kipi Birthday Special, today's post is Kipi's cosplay Miku Hatsune...

Miku Hatsune is a virtual diva, a computer synthesised singing programme. She is the best selling  Vocaloid 2.

As well as her popular songs, she has been featured on a racing car and had a HRP-4C android modelled after her.

Cosplay by Kipi of "Love is War" Miku.

Kipi - Amane Misa from Death Note

 

Misa Amane, or "Misa Misa" as she calls herself, is the second Kira in the manga and anime Death Note.

 Her Death Note belonged to a shinigami called Gelus / Jealous who died when he saved Misa's life from a stalker. His Death Note was then given to Misa by the shinigami Rem. Misa used her Death Note to aid Light Yagami in his quest to transform the world into a "better place" after he punished her parent's murderer.

Misa proves useful to Light as she has the Shinigami Eyes which allows her to see the name of every person she meets. Light intended to use this to find L's true name.

Misa has a cute and outgoing personality, that is completely at odds with her role as the second Kira. Despite this she never falters in her devotion to Light.

Great cosplay by Kipi, very cute and sexy!

The little heart is a great accompaniment, not sure if it's a box or something else.

The costume is  from the artbook

Kipi - Alice from Alice in Wonderland

"Curiouser and curiouser!"

Alice is main character of Lewis Caroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and iconic piece of English literature that although first published in 1865 is still influential today. There have been many adaptations, most famously Disney's 1951 cartoon film, and more recently Tim Burton's more gothic take on the story.


The image of a blonde Alice in a pretty blue dress is instantly recognisable. It's popular in cosplay and in the lolita fashion where Alice themed motifs and prints are common.

Cosplay by Kipi.
The dress is so cute, and the ruffle details make it a little different to the standard blue dress and white apron.

A perfect Alice!

Kipi's Birthday

Today is Kipi's 23rd Birthday.

Happy Birthday Kipi!

She is probably the most famous cosplayer, so to celebrate her birthday we're doing a week of some of the best of her cosplays.

Starting with:

Alice from Alice in Wonderland

Koyuki - Enma Ai from Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl)

"Your bitterness I shall dispel"

Enma Ai is the main protagonist of Jigoku shoujo / Hell Girl.


If a person wishes to seek revenge on someone they have a grudge against, at midnight they can access the website Jigoku Tsushin (Hell Hotline). By entering into a contract with Enma Ai they can chose to send that person to hell, but when they die their soul will also be ferried to hell.

Cosplay by Koyuki. She has that slightly creepy blank stare that Ai maintains when ferrying souls to hell.


We've also previously featured her Moka Akashiya cosplay

The location is perfect, it really looks like something from the anime.

~Cheza~ - Chi from Chobits

Chi (Chii) is a female persocom found by Hideki in a pile of trash. He takes her home and names her Chi, the only word she's able to say.


However Chi is a chobit, a more advanced persocom rumoured to have the ability of genuine emotions.

She was created by Ichiro Mihara as a daughter, since his wife was unable to have children.

She also appears in Tsubasa: Resevoir Chronicle.

Cute cosplay by ~Cheza~. Her expression is very innocent - just like Chi's. I love the persocom ears, they are the best I've seen.
