Sword Art Online: ALO - 03 - Always, Forever

Sword Art Online ALO Cosplay Kirito Asuna

Without limits, it doesn't matter if this world that opened in front of me is just a dream.
Even if I continue to wander, it will echo strongly and deep in my heart, forever and ever.
Forever, forever echoing... Softly, softly shining...

Prepare for a bunch of SAO pictures to head your way !
This was a costume made for Gold Coast Supanova 2013. It was a lot of fun floating around as a fairy with wings and a big sword all day >! There were heaps of other SAO cosplayers and fans around, which was great to see (such a great series c:!!). Big thanks to Antonius (Firehartz) who took some time to take some amazing shots of our costumes by the river while the sun was setting.
