[Bekalou]

DM (Battle City) Yami Yugi here!

[Yukari Kaiba]

Here for the 5D's! Gonna be Yusei :)

[Erza_Dragonvale]

I will probably be attending either as Fem!Kaiba or as Kaito Tenjo. I'm not entirely sure as to which one yet unfortunately.

[thepharaohinleather]

I'd love to attend as Yami again! Can't wait!

[slifertheskydragon]

I added everyone to the list! Would there be any objections to moving the gathering to 3 or 3:30pm? I found out that LK's panel is probably 5pm and idk if anyone is going to that that would have a problem because of the gathering

ALSO

email to [email protected] SUBJECT: "Yugioh Scrapbook Project" (make sure your file is under 25mb)


FOR PHYSICAL ITEMS:

I will get a P.O. Box to submit items to. Please message me if you are interested in sending a physical item.

If you are attending FanimeCon (San Jose, CA May 22nd - 25th) OR AnimeEXPO (Los Angeles, CA July 2nd-5th) I can take any physical gifts there. Please find me at my Artist Alley table (Fanime: TBA AnimeEXPO: TBA)


Special Video Message

I will be creating a VHS tape that contains the well wishes and thank yous of anyone who wishes to participate and present it in a box like this

Anything you want showing thanks or appreciation or just even wishing Takahashi well! Maybe talk about how Yugioh has influenced you or helped you make friends, etc.

I'd be okay with either of those times! Definitely want to go to LK's panel, and especially after they scheduled his panel and the Yu-Gi-Oh! fan panel at the same time last year, I really want to make sure I can go. I'm sure others feel similarly.

[Marjolycookie]

Hi! I'll be there as Jaden. Either time works for me.

[Erza_Dragonvale]

I am certain I will be attending as Kaito, unfortunately my wig is having some issues tonight (the 2nd) so I will unfortunately not have a hair cone of doom :C
Also, my friend, RoseMoonstone will be borrowing my Fem! Kaiba cosplay for the gathering.

Does anyone know if there are plans to hold a YGO cosplay gathering this year? Last year was my first time at Fanime, but seeing all of the YGO cosplayers was definitely one of the biggest highlights, and I'd love to join in on the fun this year.

[thepharaohinleather]

Would also love to have another Yugioh gathering this year. Hoping to attend as Dark Magician Girl if there comes to be one!

[powerofunity]

Whoa, DMG would be awesome! I'm going to try contacting last year's organizer and see if she's down to do it again, since priority appears to be given to those who have organized the gathering beforehand. If not, I'll give it a shot myself LOL.

Edit: Welp, Slifer says she's not planning to organize a gathering, so I guess I'll give it a try. I'ma post a new thread for this year's and try to get things arranged.
