Title: Danganronpa Gathering 2014
Post by: togamkunai on January 24, 2014, 06:01:50 PM
Hello! I'm Reina (togamkunai @ tumblr), and I plan on running the Danganronpa gathering this year at Fanime! This is my first time running a gathering, but I've attended plenty in the past, and my friend Qnng (hakurei/fattogami @ tumblr) has agreed to come co-host, so there should be no problem getting everything organized and running smoothly. I'm hoping that with everyone's help, we can have a fun and memorable gathering!

As a warning, there will be endgame spoilers at this gathering. We'll give a warning beforehand and word things as vaguely as possible (for example, "Danganronpa survivors" or "Chapter 2 victim and culprit" rather than character names) that way you can look away if you aren't finished! It goes without saying, but if you are aware of spoilers, please be courteous to those who aren't and don't spoil someone on purpose!

Fanime will 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.

Day: Sunday
Time: 10:30 AM
Location: G2: Tiered Platform (1st floor lobby by East stairs)

Attendees:
Total estimated:
37
(?) = unsure, (*) = accompanying user

Danganronpa

Super Danganronpa 2

Danganronpa IF/Zero/Kirigiri/Zetsubou Shoujo

Tentative Photography Order:
This is subject to change, and suggestions for pairings/groups are welcome! To keep the length of the gathering reasonable (there are a lot of characters and pairings!) and to prevent awkward situations, we'll try to stick to only popular/frequently-requested pairings and groups for each respective section. If you have an obscure pairing that you want pictures of, though, feel free to speak to the cosplayers you need on an individual basis, and if everyone agrees, we can do it at the end if we have time!

Title: Re: Danganronpa Gathering 2014
Post by: togamkunai on March 14, 2014, 11:02:43 PM
Hello everyone! We have our official time and day! The gathering will be on Sunday at 10:30AM, in the G2 area which is the tiered platform on the left side of the first floor lobby. I know it's a little early, but I hope everyone can make it!

Also, I need help coming up with a list of groups/pairings to call up for the gathering! If anyone has any suggestions for groups/pairings that they would like to see done, please either message me here or on tumblr. In the interest of time, we won't be able to do every single group/pairing so I'm going to stick to the most popular ones, but if I get enough suggestions for other ones I'll add them to the list! I'm also not entirely sure what all the popular pairings are, so it's probably best to suggest them anyway, just to be on the safe side.

Finally, the list has been updated with everyone who's commented this far! I hope to see you all at Fanime!

I definitely plan on going as Celestia!  Of all the Danganronpa characters, she's the one I identify with the most.This will be my first time ever cosplaying, so this should be interesting...
Title: Re: Danganronpa Gathering 2014
Post by: togamkunai on May 19, 2014, 02:13:16 AM
The list is now up to date! I can't believe the gathering is next week already... I hope to see you all there!

Post by: hakurei on May 21, 2014, 12:43:37 AM
I'll be showing up as Celes instead since I started too late on my other costumes lol... Hopefully her alt. dress from the Celes's Dream CG but we'll see how that turns out.
Title: Re: Danganronpa Gathering 2014
Post by: Chibo on May 21, 2014, 10:58:22 AM
Update: I will be going as Celestia as I didn't finish Junko. My sister will also come to the gathering but I don't exactly wanna say who yet ;) It's a character from the first game but the outfit is from Zero, so categorize it as you see fit.
Title: Re: Danganronpa Gathering 2014
Post by: Lady Tanuki on May 21, 2014, 10:58:07 PM
Starting on Celestia because you didn't finish other costumes?  Hmm, that's strange... I would've thought Celestia would be the one of the most difficult characters to cosplay, because of her hair.  Most everyone else is quite simple by comparison (besides maybe Monokuma himself, and Sakura of course)... or at least compared to the Danganronpa 1 characters anyway... can't say anything about the Super Danganronpa 2 characters because I'm not familiar with that game at all.  (But I'm likely never going to play it, so I probably wouldn't mind the spoilers.)

(Then again, I'm only saying this after having spent like twenty hours on four consecutive days making the pigtails myself, probably because I'm new to cosplaying and all...)

But yes, I'm looking forward to this gathering!  Though, I guess while I'm at the convention (and this should apply to all other Celestias too, besides maybe the dream one), I should be especially wary of fire trucks while walking around outside.

Everyone has different priorities, so let's not judge what they did or didn't get done in the time available!
Title: Re: Danganronpa Gathering 2014
Post by: hakurei on May 22, 2014, 01:29:23 AM
@Lady Tanuki: (since I'm assuming that comment was at me) I have a Celes costume, actually! ;) It's here if you want to see -> [link (http://fattogami.tumblr.com/post/60382860358/photos-by-kei-tsubasa-photography-i-finally-got)] Her alternate dress is a simple one-piece so I'm pretty confident I can make it in a day, and it's been on my to-make list for half a year now. Plus she doesn't wear her curls with it which is why I want to wear it in the first place.
Title: Re: Danganronpa Gathering 2014
Post by: Lady Tanuki on May 22, 2014, 07:29:59 PM
@Reimu Hakurei: Neat!  Yeah, I figured that costume would be easier, especially considering the curls are the really tricky part.  However, the link you provided doesn't work.

There's a bunch of photos [here] (http://fanime.slickpic.com/collections/Sunday10am11am/?wallpaper). You kind of have to sift through them, but I'm pretty sure most shots of the gathering are covered here.

Hello again, everyone! It was great seeing you all on Sunday, and thank you for attending! We couldn't have had this gathering without all of you. I hope that everyone had fun!

I was going to post the link to the pictures the Fanime photographers took, but it looks like that's already been done! Unfortunately, they don't seem to be as organized as they were last year, but maybe they'll get around to sorting everything later. If not, everything should still be there anyway. And if anyone else has any more pictures that they would like to share, please do so! I'm sure that we would all be happy to see them!
