Sailor Moon R: Moonlight Knight

At the end of the first arc, everyone’s memories were hidden so that Tsukino Usagi’s wish to become a normal girl could be granted. Such was the case for Chiba Mamoru but he subconsciously still wanted to protect Usagi so strongly that his memories separated from him and reformed into the Moonlight Knight. Although Moonlight Knight can co-exist with Mamoru in the same space and time, Moonlight Knight rejoined Mamoru when he regained his memories and Moonlight Knight disappeared forever.

Impressive cosplay! I didn’t think there were still a lot of fans from this meta series, but seeing Raven cosplayed Moonlight Knight in Sakura Con 2010, I guess I was wrong. Thanks to Rachael Masako for sharing this!

Paradise Kiss: Sakurada Miwako 02

Known to be a very sweet and cute girl, Sakurada Miwako tends to act in a childlike manner by her Lolita styled fashion and unique vocabulary. Her endearing personality attracts many of other characters to her and is considered to be Hayasaka Yukari’s best friend.

Alodia Gosiengfiao makes an adorably cute Miwako! This looks like an album’s CD cover that’s about to be released. Thanks to AV for the awesome photography and Yiz for suggesting this!

Sailor Moon S: Sailor Neptune 04

Kaio Michiru is the Senshi most associated with the arts, having known skills in playing the violin, swimming, as well as painting. In Sailor Moon S, Michiru appears as temptation for Mamoru, parallel to Haruka appearing as temptation for Usagi. She has never made any advances on Mamoru, but Usagi is still jealous whenever she sees them together.

Blueocean87 makes a beautiful Sailor Neptune in Leipziger Buchmesse / Leipzig Book Fair 2009! It makes me wonder if she’s wearing colored contacts, or of those are her real eyes’ colors. Thanks to cosplay shooter for the awesome photography work and to Weiss for suggesting this!

Umineko no Naku Koro ni: Siesta 45

Named after the .45 Winchester rifle, Siesta 45’s duty as one of the Siesta Sisters Imperial Guard Corps includes battle control, trajectory calculating, information gathering and data mining. She then sends the info to Siesta 410 who is the main sniper of the group.

Cute cosplay by Marino! I really love all the details she put on her uniform. Thanks to the anonymous reader for sending Marino’s site!

Shugo Chara!: Tsukiyomi Ikuto and Hoshina Utau

Though using different family names, Utau is actually Ikuto's younger sister who became a singing idol. Utau initially tried to find the Embryo in order to release her brother from Easter, but never succeeded in doing so. She actually becomes very jealous of Hinamori Amu as Ikuto shows an interest in her, but eventually accepts and becomes friends with her, wishing only for the happiness of her brother.

Cosplayer Calssara is the girl behind Utau, and you may have remembered her as Dark Saber from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Makes you wonder who is the cosplayer with her... Thanks a lot for sharing this!

BioShock: Big Daddy and Little Sister

Graphic Artist, Harrison Krix and his fiancée, Emily had a private photoshoot in the Georgia Aquarium showcasing Harrison’s latest work, Big Daddy from the BioShock game.

This is a real costume with real LED lights, and Harrison is currently selling it on eBay, open for bidding until December 3, 2009.

You could probably win a cosplay competition with this, if he hasn’t already. You can view the rest of the photoshoot in his blog. Great work!
