Kuroshitsuji: Grell Sutcliff 02

Grell Suttcliff is a shinigami who is described to be over-the-top and flamboyant. He has a tendency to use female nouns and pronouns when referring to himself. In the manga and character guide, Grell has even expressed the desire to have a female body. He also has a tendency to put things in terms of theatre, as he refers to Angelina’s death as “the falling of curtains”, and even comparing his relationship to Sebastian Michaelis to the famous play, Romeo and Juliet.

Beautiful cosplay by Miyo Tsubabsa! I really love the yukata which was made by Anastasia. Thanks again for sharing this with us and to Alexander for the awesome photography!

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Bakura Ryou

A new transfer student to Domino High School, Bakura Ryou was quick to aquire an array of romantic admirers and befriends Mutou Yugi, Junouchi Katsuya (Joey Wheeler), Honda Hiroto (Tristan Taylor), and Mazaki Anzu (Téa Gardner). He then asked his new friends to join him in playing his favorite game, the RPG “Monster World” (a parody of Dungeons and Dragons). However, he was also upfront in saying that the game was also the reason why he kept transferring schools as apparently, those who decide to play with him always end up in a coma.

That’s just creepy. I wouldn’t want to play with him if that were the case! But this is a very good cosplay of my favorite character, so I had to feature it! Please be sure to visit~ShineUeki33 for more of her photos when you have time!

Naruto: Otogakure Ninja and Nara Shikamaru

Nara Shikamaru is a ninja known for his sense of apathy, as he forfeited his match to Temari due to his low chakra level. Despite this loss, he is the only ninja among his peers to be promoted as a Chunin, because the overseers of the exams were impressed by his intelligence and insight. Shikamaru was appointed the leader of a team tasked to prevent Uchiha Sasuke from defecting to the village of Otogakure. However, despite being able to defeat the Otogakure ninja barring their way, Sasuke managed to escape.

I’m pretty sure those shadows were edited into the photo, but wow, this is a great reenactment of the scene from the anime! Thanks to Amara for sending this in!

Shuffle!: Lisianthus

The daughter of the King of Gods, Lisianthus came to the human world as a possible marriage candidate for Tsuchimi Rin. She is boastful, energetic, and highly optimistic with excellent cooking skills. Although her magical capability is poor, she is very strong and has a tendency of using brute force when necessary.

Cute Sia! And I hope this is the correct character, because I’m not familiar with Shuffle! Thanks to Vince for sending this!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Prussia 02

I could tell you that I felt bad about not knowing Prussia or Nanjo Koji when I posted the 90th Unknown Entry back in May, but this is actually a submission by Cherokee, so I figured, why not? And this time, with a proper article!

The older brother of Germany, Prussia will do anything to become strong. He once represented the Teutonic Knights, but later became Prussia after various stages of his life as a nation. He is currently living with Germany after his home was dissolved, though he once worked under Russia for a time.

Be sure to check out Nanjo Koji’s deviant art for more cosplay photos!

Death Note: Mikami Teru

A criminal prosecutor who is a fanatical supporter of Kira, Mikami Teru became the 4th Kira as selected by Yagami Light. The decision was purely based on his intuition, because Light needed a new Kira proxy to hide his identity. Mikami’s sense of righteousness stems from his childhood, but his perspective has warped over the years and now firmly believes that evil must be destroyed.

Wow, I’m blown away! Mikami only appeared for a short while in the series, so I didn’t think there would be cosplays of him! Thanks again to Billy for sending this and to the cosplayer, blusparkles! Please visit her deviant art gallery for more photos!

Soul Eater: Justin Law and Giriko

Justin Law and Giriko have quickly developed a strong rivalry with each other as they have very conflicting ideas. These feelings are further intensified by the fact that both have equal levels of power. As a result, their fights always conclude in a draw.

Although later circumstances have put them on the same side, it has done little to temper their issues.

Impressive! Good thing they stopped fighting long enough to take a photo together! Thanks again to Warren for sending this in!

Vocaloid: Akaito

The younger "twin" brother of Kaito, Akaito's name comes from the word "Aka" which is Japanese for the color red, and Kaito. He originated from a certain Vocaloid cover that features two Kaito’s, the original in blue and another in red. Akaito sings in lower octaves, and his signature item is the Habanero Pepper.

Another fantastic cosplay by Zaki! The pepper doesn’t look to happy about getting eaten though. Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Gundam Seed Destiny: Meer Campbell, Athrun Zala, and Cagalli Yula Athha

When Athrun Zala first met Meer Campbell, she did not hide the fact that she was not Lacus Clyne, despite posing to be her under Gilbert Durandal’s order. Meer knew that Athrun was Lacus’ fiancé and decided to flirt with him, even though Athrun tells her that Lacus would never do any of the things that she does. What she didn’t know was that Athrun was already engaged to Cagalli Yula Athha.

It must be hard to be sought after by two head-strong girls. Then again, since Athrun is holding Pink-chan, does this mean he still loves Lacus when this photo was taken?

I guess it’s even more complicated than a love triangle! Thanks to Emi for sending this!

Tales of the Abyss: Luke fon Fabre

The only son of a noble family in the Kingdom of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear, Luke fon Fabre is a selfish and arrogant boy whose hobby is swordsmanship. His ignorance of the real world was due to the absence of his childhood memories after a kidnapping incident. Luke possesses the ability to create “hyper resonance”on his own, an extremely powerful ability that supposedly only occurs when two fonists of the same type use their abilities in tandem.

Another excellent cosplay by Symphony of the Lost Aria! The setting for this looks familiar, wouldn’t you agree? Thanks again to the group for allowing me to post this!

Gurren Lagann: Yoko Littner 07

WARNING: This article contains spoilers. Please read at your own risk!

Known to be a very protective person, Yoko Littner is very vocal and is often the voice of reason for Simon and Kamina. Like Simon, she became very depressed when Kamina died, and cried in the shower despite telling Dayyaka that she was fine. In part 2, Yoko generally remained the same, but with a new outlook on violence.

The cosplayer looks so happy in this photo! Maybe it’s the article doesn’t fit the photo, but this is something I don’t get to see everyday! Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to Hino for emailing that this cosplayer is Mostflogged!

Loveless: Hawatari Yuiko

One of Ritsuka’s classmates in his new school, Yuiko appeared to be a ditzy girl who had befriended Ritsuka at the prodding of their mean-spirited classmates. Ritsuka first thought of her to be annoying and weird, but they became good friends as the series progressed. Yuiko has been fascinated by Ritsuka since the first day they met, but Ritsuka sees their relationship to be purely platonic.

She so cute! Just like the real Yuiko. Now I want pink cat ears and a pink wig too! Thanks to Madeline for sending this in!

Final Fantasy VII: Vincent Valentine 03

Cloud Strife first met Vincent Valentine sleeping in a locked room at the basement of Shinra Manor. After some careful coaxing, Cloud was able to speak to Vincent and told him about Sephiroth. Vincent knew he was the child Lucrecia had conceived and considered it to be another “sin”. Vincent then asked if Cloud and his party will meet Hojo, and Cloud confirmed his inquiry. He then decided to accompany the party with thoughts of claiming revenge.

Way too awesome for words! Then again, I’m beginning to wonder if this is real or CG (computer-generated)? What do you guys think? Thanks to Remi for sending this!

Persona: Trinity Soul: Morimoto Kanaru, Kanzato Shin, Kayano Megumi, and Kanzato Jun

In Ayanagi, a city located near the Sea of Japan, the police force is investigating several cases of a mysterious illness known as the Apathy Syndrome. The incidents were said to be linked to covert testing conducted under Komatsubura Keisuke. These examinations tried to locate all known Persona users and find the strongest by weeding them out via Persona experiments before it was disbanded.

Amidst the crisis, Superintendent Kanzato Ryo’s two younger brothers, Shin and Jun, have moved back with him. The three of them have not seen each other in 10 years due to certain circumstances beyond their control.

Sounds like a complicated, yet very interesting anime! And this cosplay represents each of the characters very well! To enumerate, Kanaru is cosplayed by Tsubaki-chan, Shin by Memphis, Megumi by Helen, and Jun by Gakkun! Thanks to Melanie for sending this in!

Kuroshitsuji: Madam Red 02

In the past, Madam Red, whose full name is Lady Angelina Durless-Barnett, was a withdrawn and shy child because of she was self-conscious of her red hair. She admired and loved her sister, Rachel Durless, who later married Vincent Phantomhive, whom they were both in love with. She was generally lighthearted about her sister’s marriage to Vincent, stating that if the two people she loved most were happy, then she was happy as well.

Lovely cosplay by Angie Choong! She looks so cute, like a much younger version of Madam Red! Thanks to Anastasia for sending this in!

Unknown Entry 111

Oh, no. A teacher dressed as a French Maid? I think the mere thought of the two merging together is scaring me. I mean, I’m sure she’s a nice girl, but the way she’s holding that pointer makes me think all the students must pay attention in class, or else!

Oh, and if anyone can read the Japanese text on the photo, please feel free to let me know what it says! Thanks to Nina for sending this!
