Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Lelouch Lamperouge and Kururugi Suzaku

code geass: lelouch of the rebellion cosplay - lelouch lamperouge and kururugi suzakuLelouch of Britannia and Suzaku of Japan first met when Lelouch and his sister, Nunally moved to the Kururugi residence as a diplomatic peace trade. Suzaku initially thought Lelouch was a prince who did not care for anyone other than himself, but as he came to know him better, they became the best of friends. They were separated from one another when Britannia invaded Japan, but were reunited once more in the Shinjuku Ghetto.

Beautiful cosplay! I can see a smirk in Lelouch’s face which is actually how I picture him to be. Suzaku looks very charming as well. Thanks to Tamina for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for crediting this photo to Kansaiii and Lenneth XVII!

Happy Memorial Day & Contest Winner

Happy Memorial Day to everyone. In the United States we celebrate today in memory of all the soldiers that have fought in wars and died for us. Though this originated around the US Civil War (1865) to commemorate those soldiers, it expanded to include all soldiers that died while in military service.

Some people spend the day placing flags on the graves of the fallen soldiers and visiting family and friends. Some town even hold parades while the politicians try to win supporters. It is a mixed bag sometimes, but mostly it is an extra day off for us to be with friends and family.


Now for the big news that I promised today. I had placed everyone on a separate sheet of paper, placed it into a bowl and held it high in the air. I had my son reach into the bowl and pick one piece of paper out (I did not look).

The winner of the WaqWaq Contest is . . . . Rapunzel

Congrats to the winner and I want to thank everyone for entering.

Beautiful cosplay! It’s been a while since I’ve seen cosplays from this series. I heard that the manga was still ongoing, is that true? Thanks to Fumiki for sending this in!

The Twelve Kingdoms: Renrin

unknown cosplay 53 / the twelve kingdoms cosplay - renrin aka ren taihoI had to skip last week's Unknown Cosplay Section because I didn't have any more unknowns until today.

I found this photo in my old hard drive. I didn't even know I still had cosplay photos in there! This is quite possibly very old already, so anyone's guess with who this girl is cosplaying is as good as mine.

Yes, I have absolutely no idea who the character is, so feel free to discuss this over at the comments section!

Also, we have the final results in Cosplay Holic's Poll! 168 votes total in only 30 days! You guys are amazing! Thanks for taking the time to vote! The winning vote is for me to update twice a day with 42%, and the runner up is the regular update of once a day at 36%!

cosplay holic poll - 05292010I honestly don't know if I have enough cosplays from you guys to maintain a twice a day update, but I promise I will work very hard to reach this goal! For now, though, I may need to stick to once a day. That twice a day option was suppose to be a joke, but I guess the joke's on me now!

Thanks again to everyone who voted and especially to those who send me cosplay photos! Until the next update!

EDIT: Thanks to Reichan for commenting this character is Renrin also known as Ren Taiho from the series "The Twelve Kingdoms"!

Ouran High School Host Club: Kurakano Momoka

ouran high school host club cosplay - kurakano momokaThe Vice-President of Class 1-A, Momoka conducts meetings with the Class President, Soga Kazukiyo, who actually has feelings for her but is too shy to say anything. She is a classmate of Haruhi and the Hitachiin twins, and is a frequent client of Haruhi’s in the Host Club. She enjoys thrills and adventure which is the exact opposite of Kazukiyo.

Cute cosplay! I had a hard time trying to figure out who she was in the series, but I got it eventually! Thanks to Rue for sending this in!

Kakashi Vest Cosplay Costume




This is Kakashi vest cosplay finishing progress shoots. We made this costume with 100% drill fabric.

Vol.3 UP!

The art gets relatively decent page 13 and onwards (I think) and is cleaner and more refined than the previous two volumes.
This comic covers the period between about April 2009 to March 2010, if I ever finish it. It basically gives you a bit of info on their lives before the game starts.

I probably should started it from mid 2007 onwards, but I didn't feel it was right.

'Njoy ^w^

Figure Review: Gundam FIX Figuration #0034, Part II

Here is the last part of my review of the Gundam FIX Figuration #0034. I have to say it was intense getting everything put together. It took me a while and my wife was upset because she wanted to go out and I wanted to build it. My cats kept trying to take the wire holders that I had to undo as well and cause me great torment trying to keep them out of everything.

After finally getting everything put together, this thing was massive for the small size of the Gundam. As you can see by the photo below, this measured almost 24 inches in length. and just over 7.5 inches tall.


It has 4 gray pods on the top of it that come out and open. I thought this was a cool accessory if you had some fishing line and could hang them from the ceiling. I have been thinking about that and maybe some time getting them hung up. Here are the shots of the pods by themselves opened up.


The guns and shield that he carried also were hooked up together and placed onto the main frame with the pods. Here is a shot of them all folded up ready to be put on.


Just so you know, I took A LOT of shots of this for everyone to capture as much detail as I could. Now lets just see how cool this "little" Gundam is.


Did you actually make it all the way to the end - WOW - thanks for checking it out!
