[ cosplay ] enako : mami tomoe

layer : Enako
character : Mami Tomoe
series : Puella Magi Madoka Magica
score : *****

CREDENS JUSTITIAM

more outstanding madoka magica goodness coming this way, and thank our dearest god madoka - a mami tomoe-get of renka-san's caliber and level of excellence for us all to behold upon. need not for us to write more, this one here truly was a magnificent sight to behold - filled with the absolute amount of brilliance and elegance that was mami's; character-wise. also, how we wished we could have more images of enako-san's [ mega-impressive ] mami-get for us to adore and celebrate on.

[ cosplay ] ibara : yuki nagato

layer : Ibara
character : Yuki Nagato
series : Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu
score : *****

a highly elaborate + visually impressive take on yuki nagato by ibara-san, emanating forth the magnificence and radiance seen from many of her works since [ most remarkably her outstanding luka megurine-get here ]. in all earnest, her yuki-get is nearly perfect in every single aspect and sense of the character, and what made it more enticing is just how close she manage to relate both her presence and look to the character in question indeed.

[ cosplay ] sue : original character

layer : Sue
character : original
series : original
score : *****

once in a while, there are [ professional ] layers who would venture into cosplaying something of their own design; and sue-san here is among those who often took it to themselves to [ actively ] expand their own personal creativity beyond existing fictional sources by designing -as well as donning- their own often-impressive creation for others to behold. with that said, what you are currently seeing here is a series of one of her many original creations to date, seemingly based on the legendary kitsune [ fox ] 'youkai' [ monster / spirit ] motif often found in japanese folklore.

overall, we greatly fancy the way she designed this very character of hers, most especially on her choice of colors for both the costume and the wig which were very fox-ish in palette as well as very earthy in feel / mood; finely representing a portion of her character's personality in success. her choice of fabrics were wonderful as well, paired together with her fine craftmanship [ take note that sue-san made most -if not all- of her costumes, herself ] and her ever-impressive ability to fit in exquisitely well into her character.

[ cosplay ] yun kousaka : madoka kaname vol. 3

layer : Yun Kousaka
character : Madoka Kaname
series : Puella Magi Madoka Magica
score : *****

in need of keeping this blog active until september comes [ when we could post things up in such insane pace - well hopefully :P ], here's a bit more images of yun-san's recent take on madoka kaname from C80 by various cosplay photogs; among which was none other than crowd favorite mpzero-san. as always, you can revisit our brief thought and commentary over this wonderful madoka-get [ here ].

[ figure of interest ] kirino kousaka ~gothloli ver.~

character : Kirino Kousaka
series : Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
producer : FREEing / Good Smile Company

aside from the lovely nendoroid yami we've posted out earlier, this kuroneko-hijacked kiririn has also caught both our eyes and interest. yet however, due to her somewhat expensive retail price we had to wait a bit before proceeding with pre-ordering her; until we've made thorough confirmation with our current budget [ both team members of +ophanium are poor sods with great interest into figure collecting, especially of late ] following recent figure pre-orders spree we had within august alone.

sculpted to fine detail and perfection by masato abe-san, gothloli kiririn is now available for pre-orders at the retail price of 7800 yen [ inclusive of tax ], with her eventual release dated around december 2011. her exquisite and beautifully detailed design and build alone is more than enough reason to tempt us into sacrificing portion of earnings from our my upcoming paycheck [ am not quite sure with zange since she told me once that she's still a student, however - hime ].

[ figure of interest ] nendoroid konjiki no yami

character : Konjiki no Yami / Golden Darkness
series : To Love-Ru
producer : Good Smile Company

this highly adorable nendoroid here is one of the many upcoming late 2011 releases which we currently had on our pre-order list, and to which we've been greatly looking forward to receive and play with. anyway, pre-order has been made open for about a week now, with this lovely nendoroid yami is slated for release this december, at the price of 3500 yen [ inclusive of tax ].

hopefully she won't be seeing any significant delay as often expected from good smile company |3

[ cosplay ] enako : konjiki no yami vol. 2

layer : Enako
character : Konjiki no Yami / Golden Darkness
series : To Love-Ru
score : *****

and so here's a plenty more images of enako-san's outstanding yami-get during the last comiket 80 [ she did an alternate costume version of patchouli knowledge for the event as well, which will be put on feature here somewhen later ], and frankly speaking was one of 'the crowning moments of [ natsucomi ] cosplay' throughout the entire three days of C80, alongside magnificent others such as this particular layer > [ here ].

anyway, what more can we write apart from what has been written in this previous post [ here ] ? enako-san for the greatest part of it absolutely fits in her character great enough that we'd probably not be looking at any other yami cosplay out there, until someone who could truly best her out appears in future times |3
