Naruto: Orochimaru

A former ninja of Konohagakure, Orochimaru left and created his own ninja village, Otogakure, in hopes of destroying his former home. During his time in Konohagakure, Orochimaru distinguished himself as one of the village's most powerful ninja. However, his desire for power led him to obtain a means for immortality by transferring between different host bodies, including Uchiha Sasuke due to his powerful genetic heritage.

Never mind that we can hardly see the cosplay; I think just posing with a real live snake is enough to impress anyone. Thanks to Sarah for sending this in!

Bleach: Hinamori Momo 05

When Hinamori’s zanpakuto is released, Tobiume's blade straightens and produces several jitte-like prongs along its length. In this form, Tobiume acts as a focus for Hinamori's spiritual power, concentrating it into energy bursts capable of forming craters as well as breaching walls. She can also compress her power into massive energy balls and throw them from the tip of her blade.

Awesome cosplay! And I heard the anime for Bleach is finally ending. Would that mean the same for the manga too? Thanks to Miguel for the contribution and Yilong for the lovely photograph!

Final Fantasy VII: Vincent Valentine 03

Cloud Strife first met Vincent Valentine sleeping in a locked room at the basement of Shinra Manor. After some careful coaxing, Cloud was able to speak to Vincent and told him about Sephiroth. Vincent knew he was the child Lucrecia had conceived and considered it to be another “sin”. Vincent then asked if Cloud and his party will meet Hojo, and Cloud confirmed his inquiry. He then decided to accompany the party with thoughts of claiming revenge.

Way too awesome for words! Then again, I’m beginning to wonder if this is real or CG (computer-generated)? What do you guys think? Thanks to Remi for sending this!
