There's always a fair amount of French Maid cosplays in Anime Conventions that I find it hard trying to keep up with all of them.
She looks like she's cosplaying a specific character with the details she put into her hair and the straps on her leg. I'm wondering if that clip on her apron was also done on purpose. Compared to the other French maid cosplayer I feature a while back, I think she'll be easier to guess.
Any takers?
EDIT: Thanks to anonymous for leaving a comment saying this is Izayoi Sakuya of Touhou Project! I hope people leave their names next time, though.

Born and raised in Germany, Soryu Asuka Langley is said to be a half-Japanese, half-German girl, but her nationality is technically American. She is considered to be a child prodigy, earning a University degree when she is still a teenager and easily becoming fluent in Japanese. She is European in appearance thanks to her father's lineage.
Comiket sure has a lot of great cosplayers. Cosplay Holic reader Mikan gave me a link to Moeyo showing a vast collection of different cosplayers she thought I might like to feature. This Asuka is definitely quite amazing. Thanks Mikan! And thanks to Moeyo for the awesome photography!

How would you like your wedding in most memorable and unique? If you want to experience a matrimonial in a different way, why not try your favorite anime or fantasy to life. Last 25th of August 2009, The Wedding Planning Company, T&G take and Give arranged one lucky couple out of more than 500 entries.
Close friends of mine would have been victims of my endless pimping of this video since last september.
Anyway, I can't remember how I found it but this is a freakin good dance cheorography of EVA's classic opening song, Cruel Angel Thesis. I bet they are some semi pro dance group. Otherwise,they couldn't have executed all those straining and extremely difficult kicks and dance steps.
Also, if you haven't already realised. They are all males ;D Ayanami Rei with balls =X
One of Yugi’s signature cards in his Magician Deck, the Dark Magician girl is considerably weaker than the Dark Magician. She compensates this by gaining attack points for every Dark magician in the graveyard.
During the “Dawn of the Duel” arc, it is revealed that she is actually the spirit of Mana, a childhood friend of Atem and Mahado. She becomes Mahado’s apprentice and followed in his footsteps, even after death. Just as Mahado’s spirit rose to become the Dark Magician, Mana’s spirit became the Dark Magician Girl.
Beautiful cosplay! I found this from Jamaipanese, and it was taken during the Tokyo Game Show in 2008. Thank you very much for sharing this photo!

Sakura, the Princess of Clow Kingdom, lost her powers and her memories because of a powerful force, causing her to be weak and confused. Her memories take the form of feathers scattered in different dimensions which she and Syaoran must collect in order to return Sakura back to normal.
Ichihara Yuuko aids them by giving her Mokona, in exchange for her memories of Syaoran. Yuuko calls her "a favored daughter of the gods" due to her unbelievable good luck.
Another beautiful cosplayer from Comiket! Unfortunately, we can't see her face clearly, but the photography is still superb. Wonderful job to both the cosplayer and the photographer!
EDIT: Thanks to the cosplayer, Kashino Rei, for contacting me! Apparently, this is not from Comiket, but rather in Hanami, an event in Germany! You may view the original image in her Deviant Art account!

Also known as the “Outer Senshi”, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Pluto, and Sailor Neptune form a secondary group, along with Sailor Saturn. Previously, all of them preferred to work alone, but Sailor Uranus was able to trust Sailor Neptune and Sailor Pluto after fighting along side with them.
Sailor Pluto is known as the Guardian of Time, while Sailor Neptune is the Soldier of Ocean, and Sailor Uranus is the Soldier of the Sky.
I’m not even sure if they are cosplayers or the official cast of the musical, but they are very pretty. Thanks to Soyoungim for the photo!

Okay, very confusing title xD. Anyway, cause I was on the topic of Cosplay MTV previously....I just thought I'd take the chance to pimp embarrass share some of the substandard cosplay videos I did with some friends during our Photoshoot or events.
The video quality is shit but...enjoy( > x < )!!!!
It's all the trend now isn't it? A couple of friends and I am had this idea of doing some cosplay videos since god know when but we never got around to doing it =( I blame life, time and money =(
Anyway, with the advancement of technology made more accessible to everyone these days. Fan Cosplay MTVs are popping up everywhere and constantly making my gawk at the quality of it.
Let me introduce to you peeps some cream of the crop =)
These two are really cute aren't they =3? And their photo quality are so good T_T
The special effects blew me away. Especially as an amateur video maker like myself, I understand the difficulty of creating those. I seriously need to buck up my skills=_=
ARGH! *claws blackboard* Canon EOS D5 Mark II HD EF24mm 1.4L !!! SUPER CLEAR QUALITY !!!! I . WANT. IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn!
On a totally different note, there's been a lot of rumour that the taller Miku in this video is actually a MALE. CAn anyone verify that D:?
I've heard of it but seeing IS believing! Look at the perfectness of it!
The lights emitted from the suit, the smoke gushing out from the vents, the head moving almost humanly along with the surreal music and sound effects. AHHHHHHHHHhhhhh~~~~~~
I'm not exactly a gundam fan (in the making though ahhaa =X) but this video moves me so much I'm actually having some teeny weeny goosebumps! I wish I can be there to see it !!!!!!
This is a full size 18meter Gundam statute at Tokyo's Odaiba Island. Some extract information from AnimeNewsNetwork.
"The statue will be free for viewing, but it will only stay up for two months. It will be built with fiberglass-reinforced plastic over a steel frame so it can be disassembled later. The head unit will move and the body will have 50 points that will emit light. Mist can shoot forth from 14 locations on the body. The park is just four trains stops from Tokyo Big Sight, the home of the Comic Market dōjinshi convention and the Gundam Big Expo convention that will be held from August 21 to August 23. Bandai NAMCO Group is still determining what to do with the statue after its allotted two months in the park are over."
If they decide to thrash the Gundam before majority of the fans see it in its full glory I'm gonna kick them in the eye (don't ask me how I'm gonna do that -_-;;; ). But high likely they will shift it over to some other exhibition area =D Unless some big guy up there screws up big time. I can't imagine them disposing something so costly LOL.
Through 3 different adaptations of the series, Princess Serenity's death has been portrayed in 3 different ways. In the original manga, the young princess commits suicide when Prince Endymion died protecting her during Moon Kingdom's downfall. In the anime, both perished in the attack, while in the live action series, it was the Princess herself that destroyed Moon Kingdom out of grief, as Endymion was killed during the war to keep the two apart.
It doesn't really matter how you're heard her story, I'm pretty sure a lot of people still know Sailor Moon, even after all these years. However, I'm surprised someone is still cosplaying her in Comiket! And such a beutiful dress too. Nice cosplaying!

Near the end of the Bloody Valentine War, Lacus leaves the PLANTs in a stolen support ship known as the Eternal. Hers, along with Orb Union's Kusanagi, and the Archangel, form the Three Ships Alliance, dedicating themsleves to stop the war. In the final battle, she tried to persuade both sides to stop fighting, but she unfortunately fails.
Lacus has been known to have the ability to go into SEED mode when she goes to battle. However, only her pupils become dilated, and no symbolic seed explosion has ever been seen.
Another cosplayer from this year's Comiket! Lacus is practically one of my most favorite characters in the series, but she became less prominent in the sequel, Gundam Seed Destiny. I do love this outfit of hers more than the original one. Great work!

SONY finally released its slim version of Playstation 3. Now the upgraded version of PS3 is 33 percent smaller, 36 percent lighter, 120Gb hardisk and the best of all it also cut the priced by almost $100, from the PS3 fat $400 down to $300.
This coming August 30, 2009, Sunday, from 1-5pm, at the Shangri-La Plaza Mall. The "TheWhiteHat" store will feature Ms.Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao as Celebrity of the Day. Famous cosplayer, artist and model Alodia Gosiengfiao and her sister Ashley dress up in costume to serve authentic Italian frozen yogurt in their bid to raise money for GOT HEART FOUNDATION.
The half sister of Kasumi and Hayate, Ayane has always lived in the shadow of her sister, causing her much pain and hatred towards Kasumi. She is an expert at Ninjutsu, with a fighting style known as “Female Tengu”. Her reason for fighting in the Dead or Alive World Combat championship is to pursue Kasumi, then labeled a traitor of the Mugen Tenshin Clan.
I can’t believe the details of this cosplay! It must have taken a lot of time and effort to look for those fabric patterns and put them all together. And she has a gorgeous wig too. Nice work!

The technology of photograpy will be changed by this two-lensed camera that takes images and movies in 3Dimension. And captures wide-angle photos of single scenes simultaneously.
This gadget has lenses around 6-7 cm to each other, same length between most people’s eyes.
The quiet, taciturn bibliophile of Suzumiya Haruhi's SOS brigade, Yuki is an artificial human created by the Integrated Data Entity who is sent to observe and prevent Haruhi's godlike powers. She hardly ever says anything, but whenever she does, it usually lacks emotion. Yuki is a rational thinker and finds it hard to communicate with other humans due to her intelligence and lack of empathy.
Another pretty cosplayer from this year's Comiket! Again, if anyone knows who the photographer or cosplayer is, please let me know so I can properly credit them. Thank you so much for your contributions!

Ok, guys? Thank you so much for flooding me with this year's Comiket pictures. There are so many that I really have no idea who the real source of the pictures are, so please do let me know if you're the photographer or the cosplayer and I will gladly link back to your site, thank you!
And I will feature as many as I possibly can, too!
Or Cirno would be very mad at me.
She is the stage 2 boss of Touhou Project, the ice fairy that lives on the lake surrounding Scarlet Devil Mansion. Don't let her cute looks fool you, as her hobbies include freezing frogs and watching them revive as they thaw out. That is, if she doesn't shatter them to pieces first.
Awesome cosplay... and it would be nice to see the Hiiragi Tsukasa and Hiiragi Kagami's photos too, if anyone has it?

STGCC Day One! Or technically, day two. I woke up really late and well arrived really late too hoho. Mostly because I was a little skeptical about the event as the reviews of Toy con 2008 was sad to say, quite boring.
So I came to the event with little expectations and was pleasantly pleased. Mostly due to the happening vibe the event aisles were emitting. Personally, I'm not a big fan of merchandises so what's inside the event halls didn't really interest me much. I had initially thought the cosplay turn out for day would be pathetic but guess I was wrong! There were many really cool cosplayers there :)
The first group of kawaii babes I saw was K-On ! ! Didn't get a chance to snap any pics of these adorables because I then saw this randomtaiwanese, shiroin. He passed me his name card and we started chatting. He has started this really impressive free database site called CosWorld (all by himself OMG ! Siao Scripting skills !) for cosplayers and photographers to upload their photos and interact in. Totally cool.
Oh did i mention that its free? I can go on and on about the fabulous features shiroin have in mind for his baby but for now, I'll keep this entry STGCC related haha.
Camwhoring with the elegant Athena!
Anyway, I went around and took a lot of cosplayer hostages :x The next pair of familiar faces i saw was Jia-er and Xiaobai. Cosplaying as Athena and Hades from Saint Seiya the Lost Canvas.
I then spotted Hade's pretteh necklace pendant ! I thought it looked pretty good for a prop and bugged her to share with me her crafting tips xD
Isn't she cute and unbelieveaby nice :x ? I don't follow Saint Seiya so i know nuts about her character. But honestly, I think she'd make a fine Shana. Someone please slap me for my randomness - . - u
Switch girl! They look so comfy xD
Switch Girl! I've only seen the cover of the manga at Kino but I can already tell I'll like it. Haha. I thought the pink girl did a really good cosplay :D not glamorous but hey, cosplay's about bringing out the characteristics of the character :) ! Who cares about extravagance?!
I then discovered that Alto is the reincarnation of the legendary monkey god (saiyuki anyone ?) and keeps his transport in his pants. Lols.
DOLLS
There were many many pretty costumes around but I didn't managed to get as much photos. Mostly because i long lost faith in my Lumix FS3 to perform under indoor lighting T.T . So yeah, video's the way to go man !
Vocaloid Miku ! Remember her from this tutorial xD ? Yeap, that's our ever kawaii Inuran as Miku from the game version!
Then the Dissidia team arrived. They were so popular I could hardly have any quiet time with them ! People kept requesting to take pictures with them one after another. But with my Haruhi power, i managed to terrorize them into accepting an interview from me :D
With the ever kawaii Reiko cosplaying as Zidane from Dissidia.
I'm seriously wishing I had taken better photos and videos of her that day but the event conditions were so seriously bad it really deterred me from approaching many cosplayers. The aisles were so cramped T_T The cramp-ness was also one of the main reasons why many of my camera footages came out so shaky and erm, not smooth. Simply because there are too many people STANDING behind me at close range(taking photos of the cosplayers-_-;;) while the cosplayer strike their poses for me. I couldn't move backwards much! Either that or I'd have to move very slowly. Just....a lot of restrictions due to the space constraints T_T
Decadence Cosplaying as Terra Branford from Final Fantasy IV. Isn't she pretty =3? I think Decadence really pulled off the semi-eurasian look very well :D Okay fine, so Final Fantasy characters are mostly supposed to be caucasians that seemed to have some teeny weeny asian blood ... or at least they look like they are but.... ok I'm not making at sense @_@;
And she is one crazy costumer! The costume was pulled together within 3 days @_@!!!! *dies* I personally HATE having to be involved in such delirious last minute rush (even though I've done similar acts on multiple occasions =X=||| ) because the output are usually... lesser than I personally hoped for. *emos*
I also terrorized the kawaii Miku to carry out this interview with Cvy on my behalf haha! I am so scary I love myself :D Wanna know more about how cvy did her iron knight costume xD ? Watch below !
you might notice a lethal flaw in this video . . . . It ended very abruptly ! It was so because I was SHOOED out of the way by a random passerby mother! If you strain your ears you'd hear a voice outside asking me "Are you done?" rather rudely. How absurd can these people be ?!!! I ought to have snapped back hard at her but her adamant absurdness shocked me so much it took me 2 seconds to realise what had occurred. By then, my body had already, rather shamefully, moved out of the way.
I feel pretty sad to admit this but STGCC 2009t really unveiled a very ugly side of the local event attendees to me. Don't believe? Check out kanasaiii's camera coverage.
Saw the last scene? What ironic coincidence! Just as we were talking about poor attendee conduct this joker of a balding middle age man comes in, USE our foreign friend's shoulder as a ledge and snapped a photo of cvy half a meter from her face. Talk about conduct, or the lack of it !
I'll end this post here. Check back soon for more hilarious stuffs XD I'm not done yet!!!!
