Virtualgirl | 4:15 PM on 09.02.2007 55 comments


Hey Guys! Here is this weeks cosplay post! Things are going to be a little different next week. Our friends over at Japanator have asked me to do a weekly blog over there, so from now on, it will be featured on their main page! I will still post links from the cblogs so that you don’t miss out! The posts will also be themed from now on, which is more of a challenge, but much more fun! So here is this weeks post, complete with pictures from our own uber-hawt cosplayer, Pheonix-Blood.

Community requests:
Last week comradetrotskii asked if I could find some good cosplay of women dressed as giant insects. I may have failed miserably on my first request. There are not too many costumes out there that feature giant bugs, and when there are, the costumes too difficult to pull of well. What I did find were some lovely Spider Woman and Fairy Cosplay (hey, they have wings!!), but the majority of what I found is probably considered the lowest of the low in the cosplay world, mass-produced Halloween Costumes . Whatever… they are hot…

So there are your bug ladies…it was the best I could do!

I also found this when searching “Spider Woman” It was titled “why god made spandex”…



Hope you enjoyed! I will have more a week from today!



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Ha ha those are all awesome. I didn't think you'd take that request seriously. I'm laughing so hard right now that I'm not even going to provide context for people that now think I have some sort of crazy insect fetish.

You have more than made my day, thanks.

@ Virtualgirl:

The purple, green and red hair chicks were what made it win for me. The rest were sort of inbetween and mesh-ish IMO.

The one for Gordon Freeman is terrible. Fake crowbar also = lose.

Lol...that is what i thought before I started doing this. You can just type cosplay in to google, but it is fucking hard to find GOOD cosplay! I am doing FFVII for my first themed post next week, and it took me FOUR hours to find enough good costumes to post. I checked 15-20 sites...it took forever...

actually puppet is right, originally anime is ment for a sexual thing. No one can admit this but its true.

I hate the stupid comments about cosplay when people say stuff like "zomg there hot!11"

Saying that, the Kusanagi cosplay is awesome.

Lol...I know the freeman one is not super great, but I think that he looks like the character, so I had to post it...I guess that is strange though that he used a fake crowbar...

@atheistium...I can't imagine that anime and cosplay started as anything that was NOT uber sexual...haha

Bible Black cosplay? What?

Does that mean a human girl actually watched Bible Black and enjoyed it?

Gordon Freeman is an asshole. <3 Loved it.

You know what would really impress me? A decent King of All Cosmos cosplay.

I like that Hermione. She might actually be legal. And that elf looks damned eerie! "Good job" to her then, I suppose. And hey, Meagan, keep on doing this if you want to. Don't feel obligated, though. Unless you're just doing it for the Dtoid points. :)

And I still have a crush on pheonix blood's face. *blush*

@sharp: Haha...for the most part, I do this for me. I get excited seeing how amazing some of these costumes are, so its a way for me to justify all the time I spend online looking at cosplay...

As for the King...this is the best I have seen, most of the guys who try should not be in spandex...

Lol...I am slightly retarded...I did put Meryl and snake instead of Eva and snake...lol

Proof that guy's should always have a limit to the size of pants they wear. They shouldent be TO baggy (no one wants to see your damn underwear) and they shouldent be to tigt (self explainitory by the picture).

That first Kairi was awesome... I've never played KHII, but she looks spot on like Kairi from the original KH in that first one.

Damn, resisting the urge to rightclick+save on the Kusanagi bent over pic. Also, having seen so many Bible Black episodes, fanart, etc, I can't help but see the irony of the words "holy thing" in the second Reika Kitami picture.

Man, something about that elf girl is really eerie. It almost looks like it'd be painful to be made up like that.

@Lemon: Yeah, I know not all guys love cosplay...I am sure most of them think it is very strange...but that is okay with me!!!

@Mxy: I know! That is the main reason I posted that one, it looks like it is right out of a fantasy movie...it is so real it is almost creepy...

@pheonix:lol...evidently Neonie does not appreciate the fine womenz of destructoid...I love all the guys shocked about the Bible Black cosplay...care to explain yourself??? LOL

Bible Black wiki for the uninformed, Bible Black is one of the weirder hentai anime out there. Reika Kitami, the antagonist, is one of the highlights of weirdness with her being androgynous, being able to grow a male member when the situation requires it...and it comes up alot.

Well that Bible Black cosplay basically confirms my theory that pheonix-blood is actually a man.
s0lesurviv0r's Avatar - Comment posted on 09/03/2007 14:18
s0lesurviv0r
Well actually Ms Blood's costume is the younger Reika Kitami from Bible Black: Origins/Gaiden which takes place before she became evil and had a panty-covered switchblade.

@s0lesurviv0r:

Alright then, that Bible Black Cosplay confirms my theory that pheonix-blood will eventually become a man.

Oh god!

Not teh man rapez!

I bet you'd cosplay for that event as well wouldn't you?

Ah well, if s0lesurviv0r's knowledge of this particular anime is correct, i have a while yet before you turn into an anime dickgirl and try and rape me.

I love this series. I agree that it is hard to find good cosplay. If I looked for hours I would amass less than half of your excellent pictures. Great scavenging and I look forward to more!

I once saw an article called "Why Americans shouldn't cosplay," which featured really bad costumes compared to there stunning japanese counterparts. This post puts that stereotype to rest.
