Evangelion cosplayer goes viral as real life Asuka Langley Soryu Studio Khara \/ Instagram: @himee.lily, @niniel.phA talented cosplayer made waves online after they brought Neon Genesis Evangelion\u2019s lead heroine, Asuka Langley, to life with an insanely accurate costume. [jwplayer MDxzN19r] Perhaps one of the most influential animes of all time, Neon Genesis Evangelion made its debut in 1996. The Studio Gainax Mecha series was adapted from a manga written by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. A talented cosplayer celebrated the animation, by transforming into the show\u2019s lead heroine Asuka Langley. The artist looks so much like the beloved pilot, it\u2019s almost as if she\u2019s flown out of the screen. Evangelion cosplayer becomes real life Asuka The show takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where humans have to fight off large creatures called Angels. To combat the monsters, characters like Asuka connect their nervous system to bio-mechs called Evangelions. Cosplayer \u2018himee.lily\u2019 went viral on social media after sharing her true-to-life take on the heroine. Photographer \u2018niniel.things\u2018 captured the Italian-based artist posing as Langley in her iconic red pilot uniform. Himee\u2019s costume brought Asuka\u2019s bodysuit to life, and it is full of accurate detail. Not only does it have the green light that runs across her neckline, it also has the number two written above her chest which identifies her as the \u201cSecond Child\u201d of Unit-02. View this post on Instagram The cosplayer also nailed the heroine\u2019s signature look, faithfully mirroring her auburn hair which is tied up into twin ponytails that run down her back. The shot could easily be mistaken from a scene from the show, as the artist also captures Langley\u2019s mannerisms by recreating her pose and facial expressions from the anime. Evangelion originally made its debut as a manga, before being adapted into a TV show. The original story was meant to be a companion piece to the anime series which released a year later under the creator\u2019s own studio. The groundbreaking Mecha story celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2020. Despite coming out decades ago, the franchise is still as popular as it\u2019s ever been and continues to be a fan-favorite in the cosplay community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
