I really liked this one. It looks straight out of a photobook—a spot-on cosplay! Inviting Rei into the shoot was a great touch; I loved it. The only minor issue is that Asuka's hair is as fluffy as it shouldn't be, but that's not a big deal. Additionally, Asuka looks more European than Japanese, which is understandable since the cosplayer appears to be European, unlike most Asuka cosplayers I've seen who are usually Japanese or Chinese. The background setting, with the library and classroom setup, really brought the cosplay to life. Overall, the cosplay was fun, with just the right amount of fanservice, and the interaction with the Rei cosplayer added to the dynamics of Asuka and Rei in the show. I'm giving this a strong 8 out of 10—a solid cosplay.
