This rather convincing effort at a Strike Witches cosplay caught my eye; a fitting pose and demeanour for Mio, dramatic sword posing and a not deficient costume and face all mark it out, although with Cosplay Witches being as vanishingly rare as they are, this is not difficult.
As we heard with the guidelines given at the upcoming Strike Witches only event, part of the problem seems to be that not-pantsu do not lend themselves to nomal cosplay, at least in public; though some thought quickly demolishes such objections: what about all those bikini wearing girls present at events of all sorts?
Whatever the reason, Cosplay Witches are rare, and likely to be painful:
But there is more…
WTF!! He’s posessed!
Die you bastard!
Where did you get that Bren machine gun from? I wish guns werent so banned over here sigh.
Just been linked to this page, so apologies for the late reply. The Bren is a de-act I got from a local antique dealer.
That pic was taken pre-con (mostly to scare those who I would be spending the weekend with), though the Bren had to stay at home when I finally went. Friday I was Sakamoto, Sunday I was Miyafuji (with a wig which did help the whole look of the costume).
Plans for next year involve Striker Units and assisting in the running of a Maid/Witches café ;)
To all those whose eyes have long since burned out, I’m sorry (but there are better pics of that costume around… if that’s any help at all ;))
ugh, I hope my laptop puke proof….
OH GOD. That last toggled-image. CAN’T UNSEE. xD
Otherwise, nice to see some SW cosplay. Can’t wait to see more at the SW event in November.
There was also (if I may say, a much better) Strike Witches cosplay that took place in the states:

Great. Now I’m ruined for life.
oh MY EYES!!
I’m kinda blind right… x_x
MAKE ME UNSEE IT!
oh god, now I can’t see Yoshika the same way ever again, damm it!
Thank god, he is not showing his real gun….but bad enough already….
I can’t unsee it… T_T
Lol at Man-Yoshika =D
The two top ones are nice, the solo Mio especially is well-done.
Obviously Yoshika and Mio cosplay is less problematic than fully *accurate* cosplays of the non- pantyhose wearing girls, although I suppouse one could get away with using swim bottoms instead of small pantsu.
MY EYES… MY EYESSSSSSSS THEY BURNNNN>…..
ultra mature = huge trap.
I can’t unsee…. make me unsee it.. Otherwise i loved the top picture. I think somewhere that pose has been shown
