Metal Gear is a series of stealth video games created by Kojima Hideo which are developed and published by Konami. The player takes control of a special forces operative Solid Snake, assigned to find the titular superweapon "Metal Gear", said to be a bipedal walking tank with the ability to launch nuclear weapons. Several sequels have been released for multiple consoles to this day, with the first game released in 1987 for the MSX2.

I’m not sure who this guy is, but I definitely know that “!” when I see it. Can anyone tell me who he is and from which Metal Gear series he first appeared in? That would be great! Thanks to Mike for sending this in!

Rena’s real name is actually “Reina”, a name she used before she moved from Hinamizawa to Ibaraki with her parents one year prior to the events of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. She discovered that her mother having an affair, triggering the Hinamizawa syndrome, which caused Reina to smash all the windows in her new school and assault three male students with a metal bat. Believing herself to be cursed by Oyashiro for leaving Hinamizawa, Reina returned to the village with her father shortly after the incident and changed her name to “Rena” out of shame of her parents’ subsequent divorce.

This cosplayer looks familiar, but I’m not sure who she could be. She really adorable though! Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

Full Metal Panic!: Chidori Kaname

Known to be the most popular girl in school, Chidori Kaname is said to be “The kind of girl everyone looks up to, but no boy wants as their girlfriend”. She can be very loud as she has a tendency to speak her mind; a trait she picked up when she studied abroad in the United States. However, Kaname does have the heart of a girl who secretly has a crush on the paranoid “Military Maniac”, Sagara Sousuke.

Such a cute cosplayer! Although I remember Kaname’s hair to be a darker shade of blue, I still think she looks the part. Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

Naruto: Hatake Kakashi 03

Hatake Kakashi was introduced as the leader in charge of Team 7, a new ninja team including Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura. At first, he was thought to be a weak character as he has a tendency to lose track of time, and is thus frequently late to his appointments. However, as he was testing his students, Kakashi revealed himself as a strong opponent to the point he fights while reading “Make Out”, a series of erotic novels.

It was later revealed that Kakashi was actually the infamous “Sharingan no Kakashi”. He possessed the eye technique known as the Sharingan in his left eye which granted him the ability to mimic the movements and as well as the jutsu of others.

Awesome cosplay! I checked out MemoSite.cn, and it looks like the site is down. Too bad, I would have loved to have seen more of Photographer Len’s work. Thanks again to Jerald for sending this in!

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance: Ayanami Rei and Makinami Mari Illustrious 02

WARNING: This article contains spoilers. Please read at your own risk!

When the Tenth Angel began its rampage, Mari hijacked Unit-02 in order to head out to fight Zeruel, activating Unit-02’s second best mode “The Beast”, thereby removing the unit’s restraints. In this mode, Mari successfully smashed through most of Zeruel’s multiple AT Fields, but was still unfortunately taken out by the Angel’s rapid extending blade-like arms.

It was then that Rei’s damaged Unit-00 emerged onto the battlefield and charged at Zeruel with an N² mine-armed missile. The battered Unit-02 tore through the Angel’s remaining AT Fields and Unit-00 threw Unit-02 out of the blast radius before the missile detonates.

Despite their combined effort, however, the missile failed to destroy Zeruel, and blew off Unit-00’s arms in the process.

Awesome cosplay pair from Comiket 77! Some parts of Mari’s suit looks really shiny, I wonder what it’s made of? Thanks again to Quince for sending this in!

Hakuoki ~Shinsengumi Kitan~: Okita Souji 03

Driven by guilty for being incapacitated by tuberculosis, Okita Souji drank the elixir and became a Rasetsu in order to continue with his duties as the Captain of the First Division. Unfortunately, despite having accelerated healing, it does not completely cure his illness. It does, however, allow him to live out his final days somewhat normally, even if it would seem to be arguably shorter.

I’m sorry, but after I finished Souji’s route in the game, I felt really terrible. Then again, I don’t think any of the routes in Hakuoki ~Shinsengumi Kitan~ ended happily knowing some of your comrades died in the war. Anyway, thanks to Jenny for sending this in!
