Neon Genesis Evangelion: Soryu Asuka Langley 07

Miyamura Yuko, Asuka's Japanese voice actress, noted that “Asuka wasn't the most open-hearted character I've ever met… every time I tried to draw myself in closer synchronization, Asuka would never allow herself to sync with ‘me’… One day, I figured out that there was a wall in Asuka's heart.” as translated by William Flanagan. Much later, she included that working on the series was “very hard” and that at times she had “wanted to erase Evangelion.”

I know I featured Kanda Midori as Asuka before, but we didn’t really get to see her face in that photo, and this is the uniform version anyway. Thanks to Daniela for sending this in!

Rozen Maiden Träumend: Kirakishou 02

Kirakishou is the true seventh Rozen Maiden Doll whom Barasuishou was modeled after. According to Shinku, "Her left eye can see everything, but reflects nothing, while her right eye is an empty hole, with a white rose growing out of it." In the anime, Kirakishou’s shoulders are not ball-jointed, presumably because she is an entity that only exists in the N-Field.

Cute cosplay by Chamaro and another great photo by MPzero! It’s difficult for me to tell how she placed that rose on her eye. Maybe the strings are under her wig? Thanks to Shuya for sending this in!

Dynasty Warriors MV: Unparalleled

箭矢漫天飛舞
Arrows dance and fly in the sky
竟然在城牆上遮蔽了日出
Unexpectedly they cover up the sunrise on the city wall
是誰 在哭
Who is crying?

“Unparalleled” Lyrics and Translation by
Jay Chou Studio

This is probably old news, but I've only recently heard about Jay Chou, and I'm surprised to find one of his music videos to be a Cosplay MV for Dynasty Warriors Online! He looks so cool as a warrior, doesn’t he? But I wonder if Jay Chou’s cosplaying a character in particular? Do you guys know?

Resident Evil 4: Ada Wong

Six years after the Raccoon City incident, Ada Wong was recruited by Albert Wesker to the "3rd Organization". She was sent to an undisclosed village in Europe that had been taken over by Osmund Saddler, leader of the “Los lIIuminados” religious cult, after he infected the villagers with Plaga. Her mission was to steal a specialized sample of the Plaga held by Saddler and a researcher named Luis Sera, who knows everything about the sample, is willing to help Ada retrieve it.

Awesome cosplay! Ada Wong has really come to life in this photo! Thanks again to Ingrid for sending this in!

New Ancient Grand Shrine

Along with some important changes in the configuration of the East part of Izumo SIM, the Ancient Izumo Grand Shrine was rebuilt. It has a different feeling than the previous model, but is closer to what research has found out about it in real life so far.

If you are in shape enough to climb its stairs, there is a freebie waiting for you inside. From Kodama no Ki head to the South East and you'll get there!

Pop's Music 4: Smile

Well now, will you look at that? This category’s finally come back to life! All thanks to this… creepy looking cosplay that I can’t seem to get myself to ignore.

Anyone know who this blue-skinned, blue-haired character with rosaries could be? With all those bandages on, I’d think he or she is either unwell, or undead!

Then again, this could just be an original character made by the cosplayer. Thanks again to Ingrid for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know this is Smile from the music video game series Pop'n Music!
