Asuka Langley Cosplay — Bamboo Forest, Photo 9
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Mossy stone steps lead up to a small wooden shrine, and Asuka Langley sits on them with her legs crossed, hands clasped over one knee and chin raised toward the camera. Her gaze is direct and her expression confident, and a slightly low camera position lifts the seated figure.
The shrine behind her is dark inside, and that shadow is what makes the frame work. A thick bell rope, dark cloth marked with round white emblems and a red lantern make up that backdrop, and against them the white Rebuild plugsuit and the red clips at the base of the orange twin tails stand out clearly. Daylight falls evenly on the figure, with a soft reflection from the stone, and dense green foliage surrounds the building.
The pairing is the point of the picture: a futuristic pilot suit from Neon Genesis Evangelion in front of a traditional Japanese shrine.
