Hello!

Making a tentative thread for a KNY/Demon Slayer gathering, just saw the rough gathering schedule and noticed one hasn't been listed yet.

Day: Saturday (?)
Time: either 12 or 2
Location: We're looking at either G4 or G8 at the moment.

We'll post a rough lineup in a bit, but be forewarned it'll likely include characters from the manga that have not appeared in the show. If anyone has any suggestions for groups that haven't been listed, please add them below! The show has a huge cast, so we likely won't have time for every character combo unless they're specifically requested.

Current Lineup (still changing)

Final Group Shot

*I typically start gatherings with a group shot so everyone has a chance to be in at least one photo, especially as people leave throughout the gathering and may not stick around long enough for the usual group shot at the end.

Legal Statement-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.

[Alright! Houseki no Kuni/Land of the Lustrous has been confirmed as a gathering at Fanime this year! (3/26)]

For those of you who were interested, I hope the day and time works into your schedule, and we'll see everyone there!

UPDATE 4/13: Just adding that the other Houseki no Kuni gathering is the same as this one - thecrazycyborggirl and I will be co-hosting this gathering! She is also offering to do sketches of your favorite Houseki character if you are interested, if so pop on over to her post and add in the comments who you'll be going as and which character you'd like!

Name: Fanime 2018 Houseki no Kuni Gathering
This Gathering Includes: All gems, Lunarians, Admirabilis, Sensei, and any other characters that appear in both manga and anime

Day: Sunday
Time: 1 PM
Location: G8 (Hilton Tree Walkway)

* The walkway is a little off to the side of the convention center, so if you're not sure where it is there is a map with all gathering locations on the FanimeCon Cosplay Gatherings Facebook page!

Cosplayers:
If you'd like to comment on who you're going to cosplay as and start a possible list of different characters we might see, that would be pretty neat!

Shot Order:

It's still tentative, but here's what it looks like for now - if anyone has something they want to add, please feel free to bring it up!

- Group Shot
- Individual Shots
(There are a lot of characters, but we will try to make a call for everyone since there's always the chance someone may do less commonly seen characters, such as Neptunite or Sphene)
- Teams
- Missing Gems (Those taken by Lunarians)
- Lunarians
- Admirabilis
     - Phos and Ventricosus?
- Uniforms (Summer, Spring, Fall, and Winter)
- Diamonds
- Fighters/Patrol
- Crafters

This is all I can think of for now, but I will add more as time goes on and if anyone has any suggestions. I'll try and add as many groups and shots as possible, so we don't run short and have time left over.

I've seen pairings floating around, but I'm not adding pairings for now, since I'm not sure what the general stance is yet, given they are genderless gems.

Having gone to multiple gatherings at different conventions and hearing other's input on gatherings, I just wanted to add this: if you aren't comfortable with certain characters or cosplayers and wish to not join a shot your character may be in, please don't feel pressured to join. If there are only certain shots you wish to jump in, please do what makes you most comfortable. We're all out here to have a fun weekend, and I don't want anyone to take a bad experience away from this.
