Bleach: Luppi

Promoted to the 6th Espada when Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez lost his arm, Luppi is an arrogant Arrancar who boasts constantly in battle. He is known for saying “Sorry!” in a sarcastic manner after insulting someone and tends to note the odds against his enemies out loud. He and Ichimaru Gin appear to be in good terms, as Gin mentions he is lonely after Luppi’s death in the hands of Grimmjow.
Beautiful cosplay! I remember Luppi being quite androgynous, but I think this cosplayer’s definitely a girl. Thanks to Galimar for sending this in!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!: Rokudo Mukuro

A 15-year-old Mafia criminal, Rokudo Mukuro escaped an Italian prison which held some of the most dangerous Mafia criminals when he was about to be executed. He then went to Japan with his two subordinates, enrolled in Kokuyo Junior High School and started the Kokuyo Gang. Although he plays an antagonist’s role in the first part of the series, he later possessed Chrome Dokuro and took on a more supportive role, even though he prefers not to associate with them.
~Sally-hiou is the cosplayer behind this awesome Mukuro. I love the attitude she gives the character in this photo! Awesome work! Be sure to visit her Deviant Art Gallery for more of her cosplays!

The Vision of Escaflowne: Kanzaki Hitomi

A member of her school’s track team, Kanzaki Hitomi has a strong fascination for tarot cards and fortune-telling. She received a set of tarot cards and a mysterious pendant from her grandmother when she was only a small child. Since then, her hunches and tarot readings have been unusually accurate. It was only when she meets Van Fanel and is sent to Gaea that Hitomi learns of the true origins of her pendant, and her connection to Gaea.
Cosplayer Kiryuu Tsubaki-hime (桐生椿姫) is the girl in this photo. I don’t remember what Hitomi’s pendant really looks like, but the one she’s holding looks good nonetheless! Thanks to Fumiki for sending this in!

Kingdom Hearts II: Riku 03

Although Riku became a physical manifestation of Xenahort's Heartless, Riku continued to help Sora in secret. He was ashamed of his appearance and was able to gain the Way to the Dawn Keyblade. Riku was able to return to his original form when Ansem the Wise’s machine digitally sealed away Kingdom Hearts, later malfunctioning and then self-destructs.
Impressive cosplay and a magnificent Keyblade! I wonder what materials were used to make that? Thanks to Umbridge for sending this in!

Toradora!: Aisaka Taiga 03

When Aisaka Taiga's school opened their swimming pool for the summer, Taiga had a difficult time buying swimsuits due to her small stature. She often had to buy clothes from the children’s department, much to her frustrations and refused to buy a kid’s swimsuit. Takasu Ryuji later finds out her distress and decides to help her out.
I can relate to Taiga having a hard time picking swimsuits, but for different reasons and I’m sure every girl has that concern! Cosplayer Minosa was really able to catch Taiga’s personality really well and that impossible hair! Thanks to *blurmage for the excellent photography!

Hellsing: Alucard

Alucard is a powerful and cruel vampire who works with the Hellsing Organization against other vampires and evil forces. He has a range of supernatural techniques and fights with extreme ferocity, never killing his target until he is disabled and humiliated. He is revealed to be Count Dracula who was captured by Van Hellsing and turned him into a servant of the Hellsing Family.
Beautiful cosplay by *Videros! Really love the chosen setting, which is in Berliner Dom, Berlin. Good job also to *Des-Henkers-Braut the photographer and ~Federkiel the seamstress!
