Cosplay! Construction, Tips, Gatherings, Advice / 2024 Old School (Pre-2001) Cos...
Last post by InsaneDavid - March 09, 2024, 10:36:09 AMGreetings old school cosplayers! Getting back to the Old School Gathering last year was a blast as always, thank you all for your amazing attendance, awesome cosplay, being genuinely considerate of your fellow cosplayers, and continued representation of the fandoms that created anime conventions! Of course I'm back to host yet again! Continuing the tradition of the gathering that got me into cosplay, I announce the...
Come celebrate the rich history of Japanese entertainment culture!
This is a hugely open gathering for those of you / us who cosplay as characters from the previous century. Essentially if your cosplay character appears in Anime, Manga, Video Games or Live Action that began PRIOR to 2001, then this is the gathering for you! Although I like to have a decidedly Japanese lean to this gathering, it is not completely exclusive.
Day : Friday, May 24th, 2023 (Day 1).
Time : 6PM - 7PM.
Meeting Place (MP) : Same as Location.
Location (L) : TBD - with the uncertainty surrounding Cosplay Gatherings at Fanime this year, we will advise a location as soon as possible.
This will be our seventh consecutive year hosting! Due to the fallout of Cosplay Gatherings Department resigning from Fanime (which we fully support), there is a lot of uncertainty in terms of official gatherings this year. If gatherings do not happen in an official capacity, we will host this as an UNOFFICIAL gathering, but it will be conducted in the same way it always has been.
Cosplayers : If you would like, please post who your cosplay character is, what title it is from and what year you are representing! As this gathering is a total wildcard mix of different characters, series, studios, and genres - spanning time rather than properties - a definitive list is otherwise not provided. Part of the fun of the OSCG is seeing just who shows up.
Legal Statement : Fanime / gathering co-host will likely be taking group pictures during the Gathering/Event this year. If you do not want to be included in those pictures please step aside for those photos. By remaining with the group when the pictures are being taken you give your consent to be photographed.
Photography Order : If there is any specific setup or shot you would like, just let me know! This gathering is to celebrate all of us as cosplayers who keep the vintage fire alive.

I am always up for future ideas to add to the list! A good portion of the photo order is built upon suggestions from previous years. We have continued to consolidate the list to get the order cycled faster.

This is an excellent gathering to psyche you up for the convention weekend. If you're an old school cosplayer, stop by and join us! Feel free to pop in for a moment to say hi, see some incredible cosplay, pose for some pictures, and continue to prove that just because it's old doesn't mean it isn't awesome!
Thank you so very much. Let's have another great turnout and continue this wonderful Fanime tradition!

Last post by persephonaae - March 02, 2024, 03:22:49 PMMy partner and I will try our darndest to be there as Sophie and Howl! We'd only be able to make it on Saturday afternoon/evening since I will be competing in the Masquerade this year on Sunday, but in any case hope this gathering runs on any date, we had a blast last year and actually met because of this gathering, thank you for running it!
