Rule 5 Sunday: Samsung Sam

— compiled by Wombat-socho I seldom explain jokes, but Friday evening’s meme does seem to need one. Last month Brazilian studio Lightfarms came up with an unofficial virtual assistant for Samsung phones, and people went nuts over her. I have to say, just based on the visuals alone, Sam would be a big improvement over […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Potato Godzilla Gets Out Of The Robot

— compiled by Wombat-socho There must be a million cosplayers doing Asuka Soryu-Langley from Neon Genesis Evangelion, and the vast majority of them do Asuka in the plugsuit, because in the words of the late Robert Sheckley, “By hiding everything, they concealed nothing.” So it was a nice change to see Vietnamese cosplayer Potato Godzilla […]

Rule Five Sunday: She Comes From A Land Down Under

— compiled by Wombat-socho This week we take a break from all the Russian collusioncosplay girls and go with an Australian lass, Amy Thunderbolt. Her blog is here, if you want to check out her other work on various social media. In this pic from r/cosplaygirls, she’s playing Hilda from Pokemon Black/White. Ceterum autem censeo […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Get In The Robot, Alegrachan

— compiled by Wombat-socho Spent a good part of the weekend hanging out with friends I hadn’t seen in a couple of years, which is why instead of spotlighting new talent, we’re going with Alegrachan cosplaying the tsundere pilot of Neon Genesis Evangelion‘s EVA-02 unit, Asuka Soryu-Langley. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. Ninety […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Not From The Black Widow Movie

— compiled by Wombat-socho Though you could hardly be blamed for thinking so, since Russian cosplayer Helen Stifler could pass for Scarlett Johansson’s twin sister in this costume. You can see more of her work on her Instagram page. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. Ninety Miles From Tyranny: Hot Pick of the Late […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Alegrachan

— compiled by Wombat-socho Doki Doki Literature Club is somewhat of a legend among gamers. At first blush, it looks like your bog-standard dating sim, but it gets very dark very quick, and turns into a shock/horror game. Here’s r/cosplaygirls regular Alegrachan playing Yuri, one of the four members of the club. You can see […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Alina Becker

— compiled by Wombat-socho Miss Becker is a cosplayer and model, frequently appearing in Reddit’s r/cosplaygirls subreddit. At first I was tempted to go with this humorous take on NieR: Automata’s 2B, but instead I opted for her portrayal of Neon Genesis Evangelion‘s tragic heroine Misato Katsuragi in her off-duty time. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Hane Ame

— compiled by Wombat-socho Hane Ame is an extremely popular cosplayer and Instagram model, with over 1.3 million followers on her Instagram cosplay account. Here she’s portraying Tifa Lockhart, a character from Final Fantasy VII referred to by the New York Times as “the pin-up girl of the cyber generation”. Well, even the Times can’t […]
