Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Panty Anarchy 03

Panty’s usual outfit consists of a short, sleeveless, red dress with matching red shoes. Her angel outfit, however, seems to be inspired from ancient Greek clothing, especially her golden-winged, Hermes-like high heels. Although Panty has worn several outfits in the series, most of them allow her to slide her panties off with ease.

It suddenly makes me wonder if I can share this cosplay on Cosplay Holic without breaking any of Blogger’s rules. In any case, thanks again to Ange W. for sharing this!

Ranma 1/2: Shampoo 02

When Shampoo first met Saotome Ranma, she gave him the "Kiss of Death" for defeating her in her village's annual martial arts contest. However, when she was defeated by Ranma again in his male form, she gave him the "Kiss of Marriage." She eventually learned about Ranma's curse and decided to focus on marrying him instead of killing him.

Beautiful cosplay! The cosplayer looks very captivating in this photo and purple hair really suits her! Thanks to Neil for sending this!

Rurouni Kenshin: Kamiya Kaoru and Himura Kenshin

After leaving his past as Hitokiri Battousai behind him, Himura Kenshin lived as a wanderer for 10 years before meeting a young woman named Kamiya Kaoru. He decides to help her in defeating a murderer claiming to be Battousai who uses the Kamiya style in fighting, destroying her family’s good name. Upon realizing the gentle Kenshin was the real Battousai, she offers him a place to stay in her dojo.

Such a beautiful cosplay from one of the best classic series out there! Thanks to Migz for sharing this!

Soul Eater: Franken Stein

Considered to be the most powerful meister to graduate from the Death Weapon Meister Academy (DWMA), Stein views the world as his own place to experiment, which makes him fight his own insane urges to dissect everything. He's even experimented on himself, placing a giant bolt though his own head, which he occassionally turns while thinking.

You can't get any more insane than this guy, I think. Beautiful cosplay with a beautiful location too! Thanks to Potato Chips for sharing this!

Sailor Moon S: Sailor Chibi Moon

The outgoing daughter of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Chibi Moon dreams of becoming a beautiful lady one day. She is a perfectionist who prefers to do things alone so she can have her way. As the series progresses, she learns to open herself more, learning what true maturity really is.

I didn’t think anyone could get her hair to look quite that right. But I think I like her red eyes more than anything! Very convincing cosplay, and it even has Konata’s stamp of approval! Great work!

Macross Frontier: Sheryl Nome

The pop idol from Macross Galaxy, Macross Frontier's sister fleet, Sheryl Nome is a very proud and self-assured person with the beauty and talent to back it up. She is later revealed to be a failed experiment known as Fairy 9 and was nothing more than an anonymous, orphan girl from the Galaxy Slums. Having outlived her usefulness, Grace O'Connor discards her, not really counting on the fact that she might survive.

Beautiful cosplay! I like the strawberry highlights on her hair, and her gorgeous shoes. Really great work!

Strawberry Panic!: Okuwaka Tsubomi

This is probably the last unknown cosplay for the year. Wow, how long has it been since I started writing about cosplays? It's so nostalgic now that I think about it.

Anyway, pink haired girl with a black headband in an expensive looking school uniform... She's really pretty, and this is another image by photographer MPZero. I think I'll need to have sections for photographers too someday, but I have so many tags already that people might think it's confusing...

So! Any guesses? Please leave comments on this entry if you know who the cosplayer is or who she is cosplaying as!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Yuffie Kisaragi 02

Prone to motion sickness and hopelessly obsessed with the collection of mana, Yuffie Kisaragi is the daughter of the leader of Wutai who wishes to return her country to its former glory, and not a mere tourist spot. In Advent Children, she helps Cloud and Tifa in the fight against Bahamut SIN. There is also a prequel novella "Case of Yuffie" which details about how Geostigma pread to Wutai and what Yuffie did to find a cure to help her people.

Cute cosplayer and really awesome weapon detail! Wonder how she got it to look so real? Thanks to Kon for sharing this!

Fate/Stay Night: Saber 05

Saber was forced to destroy the Holy Grail during the fourth war as commanded by her master, Emiya Kiritsugu. However, she was not able to destroy the Grail completely, managing only to destroy its physical form. Kiritsugu needed to use his Reiju, a command seal, because Saber wished to use the Grail to redo her life so that a better person could take her place as king of her country.

Saber is technically the fourth character to reach 10 features in Cosplay Holic, seeing we have two darks, two lilys, and one red. And I know her hair’s a little off, but there’s something about this cosplay that makes it so in character. Thanks to Krystal for sending this!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Tifa Lockhart 02

Though she plays a more minor role in Advent Children than in Final Fantasy VII, Tifa did battle against Loz and later, against Bahamut SIN. She has shorter hair than her original character design mainly because animating long hair was proven to be quite difficult.

She looks like an older, more mature version of Rinoa to be honest. But I think a few people will get mad at me for saying that. Beautiful cosplay though! And the characters for the cosplayer’s name means “little fish”, Xiao Yu. Great cosplaying!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Tifa Lockhart 03

Script writer Nojima Kazuhige describes Tifa to be "very much like any woman who's been left behind like a man", meaning someone who was hurt emotionally, but not clingy. She urges Cloud to come to terms with the unwarranted guilt he places upon himself, and takes care of Barret's adopted daughter, Marlene, as well as another child known as Denzel.

I think she may be the same Tifa as the cosplayer I featured more than 2 years ago, but I still find her pretty impressive. She still makes me think that she jumped right out of the film. Great cosplay!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII: Noctis Lucis Caelum

The "Sky of the Night Light", Noctis is the last Heir of the Caelum Dynasty and protects his city-state from those who seek the Crystals. The Crystals allow him to control his weapon by telekinesis, as they range from swords, to spears, to lances. He is said to be the first to break the mold of typical Final Fantasy protagonists' personalities, as he is idiosyncratic.

Beautiful cosplay! I've actually yet to play this game, or any of the Final Fantasy games for that matter, but I've always appreciated their art work. And it looks like the cosplayer put a lot of effort in the details of his sword too. Great job!

Final Fantasy X: Yuna 06

Nomura Tetsuya designed Yuna with hibiscus flowers as her name depicts. Her name also means “night” so her weapons are empowered by the moon. Yuna also has heterochromia, which explains her different colored eyes; her blue eye comes from her half-Spiran bloodline and her green eye comes from her half-Al Bhed bloodline.

Beautiful cosplay! Good location too. I wonder if she had a hard time keeping her hair fixed? Thanks for sharing this!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!: Chrome Dokuro and Hibari Kyoya

When she was transferred into the future, Chrome’s physical condition became worse as her illusionary internal organs began failing one after the other. The adult Hibari Kyoya then instructed her to use the power of her Vongola Ring to sustain her organs through her own illusions. This allowed Chrome to escape any immediate danger, and thus prolonging her life.

Cosplayers Schoki and Hibanator make an excellent Chrome and Kyoya! I love the setting and Kyoya’s fierce attitude! Thanks to Itsuchi, their photographer as well as Miranda for the suggestion!

Fate/Stay Night: Tosaka Rin

A model student and idol of Kamiya Shiro’s school, Tosaka Rin seemingly prefers to be alone than be in the company of other students. This is because she is secretly a magus, the successor to her family’s magecraft, and she was instructed by her father, Tokiomi, to prioritize sorcery over her own interests. Since then, she strived to earn the admiration of her peers to avoid drawing attention to her private life.

Saya makes quite a convincing Rin! I love the simple beauty of this cosplay. Thanks to Michi for sending this in!

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: Big Boss

In 1964, Big Boss (who was still known by his real name, Jack, at the time), took part in the Virtuous Mission as a member of the CIA's FOX unit. His was to rescue defecting Soviet scientist, Nikolai Stephanovich Sokolov, but unfortunately failed due to the defection of The Boss. As a result, he was imprisoned by the U.S. Government while recuperating in intensive care.

Well, I just had to rewrite this to cover up my mistake, right? Thanks to Syaza for the contribution, as well as Anon and Lane Butler for correcting me!
