Black Lagoon/ Black Lagoon: the Second Barrage
Licensed by Geneon

Plot: AnimeNewsNetwork link



Complexity : Pretty simple looking. Most of this stuff can be found in second hand stores or in your very own closet. The military equipment, such as holsters, can be made or purchased from an army navy surplus store or even borrowed. A note on tattoos. Tattoos never stay pitch black. If you want a tattoo looking real its best to use a dark gray. Benny's (the blonde kid pictured above) shirt will need to be sewn with the proper print on it. It may also be difficult to find the exact vest worn by Dutch (massive black fella). Revy (chicklet) sometimes has a belt, sometimes she doesn't, so find some good images for you to base your costume on. Wigs will be the hardest part in this, as well as finding proper shoes.

Note: No one is going to know who the hell you are if you cosplay anyone but Revy and aren't in a group. Revy has the recognition factor with her tattoos.

This is a simple cosplay. For god's sake, get the colors right.

Difficulty Rating: It can be anywhere from 2-6 depending on what you find and how much alteration you'll have to do or if you make the costume from scratch.


A pretty good Revy cosplayed by SEI KIJYO on Cosplay.com.
