Macross Frontier: Brera Sterne 02

Later in the series, Brera Sterne was eventually revealed to be a Major in the Galaxy Fleet Antares Squadron. He became Ranka’s bodyguard and loved listening to her songs, telling Ranka that he felt as if he was being enveloped in a universe that accepted him instead of rejecting him. Brera later assisted Ranka in delivering her stage 2 Vajra pet “Ai-kun” to the rest of its species.

Great cosplay! Really love the pose on this photo, but I’m not that sure if it’s in character or not since I haven’t seen Macross Frontier yet. Thanks to Tamia for sending this in!

Macross Frontier: Alto Saotome

A high school student in the Mihoshi Academy Pilot Training course, Alto Saotome is often mistaken for a girl at first glance because of his long hair and fine features.  He was even give the nickname “Hime” which means “Princess”. His good looks were revealed to have been inherited from his late mother, Miyo Saotome, who was said to be a considerable beauty.

I think the cosplayer is Stay, but the photo isn’t big enough for me to confirm. Not to mention the fact that I’m not very good with faces! Thanks to Danielle for sending this in!

Macross Frontier: Sheryl Nome 06

Despite being a proud and self-assured person, Sheryl recognizes Ranka Lee's singing talent and offered to help her behind the scenes in order to realize her dream of singing. Ozma and the rest of the S.M.S. deserters found a photograph in the remains of the 117th fleet suggesting that Sheryl is Dr. Mao Nome’s biological granddaughter and that her fold quartz earrings were inherited from her. It also suggests that her mother fell on hard times shortly after the death of her grandmother.

Very impressive cosplay of Sheryl from Comiket 2010! I love the colors of her hair and outfit, and the photography is absolutely stunning as well! Thanks to Dallia for sending this!

2011 Cosplay Calendar for Charity

When Natalie Parisi sent me an email regarding a 2011 Cosplay Calendar for Charity, I had to admit, I was quite skeptical at first. Mainly because I’ve had many requests like this in the past, and none seemed legitimate aside from this one:

Macross Frontier: Ranka Lee 03

A lively, cheerful and naive teenage girl, Ranka Lee is referred to as the “Little Queen” by Grace O’Connor due to her connection to Vajra. Her songs tend to confuse the Vajra and Ranka feels severe pain whenever large amounts of Vajra are killed within her vicinity. She and her bodyguard, Brera Sterne, left Macross Frontier for a time in order to deliver her Vajra pet “Ai-kun: to the rest of its species.

Looks like Ranka’s not a teenager anymore in this cosplay. Thanks again, Jamie!

Macross Frontier: Sheryl Nome 04

In the prequel manga, Sheryl is revealed to be the daughter of a couple residing in Macross Galaxy who actively opposed mandatory cybernetic implants by the government. They were ordered to either be captured dead or alive by the authorities for treason. Her parents were killed for their resistance, leaving Sheryl to spend a part of her childhood in poverty until she met Grace O’Connor.

Beautiful cosplay! This probably took a long time to put together, with such amazing results. Thanks Lain for the photo!

Macross Frontier: Sheryl Nome 03

When Sheryl Nome found out that she was terminally infected with “V-Type”, she was crushed and almost quit singing altogether. Saotome Alto encouraged her not to give up hope and Luca Angelloni discovered that her infection gave her similar abilities to Ranka Lee’s in producing fold waves through her singing. It was during the final battle that Ranka was able to cure Sheryl’s infection which resulted in giving Sheryl the same capabilities as Ranka to link up with the Vajra through singing.

Awesome cosplay! And you can see the Gurren Lagann cosplayers, Kamina and Yoko Littner, in the background in this photo. I spy a Misty cosplayer too! Thanks to Tanaka for sending this!
