I'll be genderbent Ivan!! Yay for Heroes! I can't wait to see everyone there!!!
first post: Important to get extra sponsor time!
Coming as genderbent Barnaby =D
I would have organized it, but after I attempted to host another gathering last year and failed, I hesitated at the idea. Anyway, put me down as Barnaby Brooks Jr. in his casual wear. It would be nice to see the characters in their hero costumes, of course. I think some fellow cosplayers in a cosplay group might be down with this as well. I'll have to get back to you later on that, though. By the way, would you provide sashes with that slogan for the hero cosplayers?
So happy to have you join us. Hero costumes are nice, but a hero is a hero whether in his suit or not.
And I really had not thought of the sashes... I suspect that making them or having them made would be a decent amount of money, though.
Will gladly join as Wild Tiger w/ friend as Rock Bison in hero suits ^^
Glad to have you, Wild Tiger! I've added both you and your friend to the list.
Hopefully we can snag a spot where the hero suits won't be too in the way of traffic.
I might get little ribbons that attach to the con badges that say that, but it would depend on the number of people at the gathering. Though they'd end up being like 50 cents if people just want me to make them and buy them off me.
We just need Mr. Legend now xD
I was thinking maybe little slips of paper that they can slip into the pass-cover to show they're in hero suits
I SHALL BE ATTENDING THIS
in all my glory
as the one and only Kaburagi Kotetsu
with Kaede and Blue Rose
Hello, hello! It was so very quiet for such a long time; you heroes must have been very busy.
Alright, updating this list with three new attendees!
Sure, sure. I'm so hyped for this, seriously.
I'm making great efforts to expand our group, but nonetheless
it'll be fabulous to meet fellow heroes.
Do we have any antagonists attending? :-D
Antagonists? No, not yet, but perhaps some will check in before Fanime.
We'll be short one Blue Rose.
Alas mine has dropped out.
Ok, list updated.
On another note, I would like to start planning for the gathering time slot. I will try to avoid conflicts with popular/large gatherings (50+ attendees), and would also like to give cosplayers time between costume/costume heavy gatherings. If you are planning to attend any of the following, please give a shout out:- Kuroshitsuji (large gathering/elaborate outfits requiring time to dress)
- Sengoku Basara (requires time to dress/navigate/peacebond/etc)
- Trinity Blood (requires time to dress/navigate/etc)
I understand that changing from a Hero Suit to another costume/prop heavy cosplay can be a hassle and will try to ensure that you have plenty of time to get yourselves changed. If you feel that I have missed a costume/prop heavy gathering, please let me know. Thank you.
<Formerly Enmaraeg>
Hero suits are gonna be a nuisance to walk in, that's why me and my friends are practicing to walk/run/eat in them.
We might be getting a Lunatic, depends if my friend can go or not.
I've updated the list so that your new name is the one listed, but until your Lunatic is confirmed, I'll not add him.
I think it's a very good idea to practice running/walking/sitting/etc in the suits. Personally, I'm worried about leaving my props places.... Anyways, make sure to have at least one minder :) And it always helps to have multiple minders, especially if more than one person in the group is impeded by their cosplay.
I was worried of loosing my props last year too! But since this year, I'm doing an armor suit, it's hard to not notice that you've left something. The worst that can happen is the pieces falling off (thank god for hot glue). I'll try to get my right arm to fold out into GOOD LUCK MODE if possible (which I highly coubt) xP
edit: Just read the special announcement, what if your suit is being made by someone else? I'm making Rock Bison for my friend (irony is that his name is ALSO ANTONIO LOPEZ xD)
Haha! I should just tie my props to me...
Doesn't matter who makes the suit - though if you feel that you should get the title as you made the suit, then you'll have to discuss that with your friend. We'll be playing a couple of games for points. I'm going to try to make them simple for the sake of the hero suit cosplayers. Points will also be assigned for other things that I have yet to decide.
Those of you coming in crime fighting gear should all hang at the Cosplay battles. <:3
After all, Heroes have to make a good impression with their props right?
Yes, and I have found a way to make a Good Luck Mode arm :3
Will it glow with Hundred Power? : D
I shall make that my next challenge xD It's not easy to earn money for lights when you're a lowly 16 year-old
So looking forward to this. Count me as Lunatic (not his judge mode) as long as it doesn't interfere with the Kuroshitsuji Gathering.
Im be making a blue rose for fanime! ^___^ (hero suit)
Thanks for checking in everyone!

As I am helping to run the Kuroshitsuji Gathering, I can guarantee that the T&B gathering will not interfere with it. :)

Wonderful! Cant wait for May!
Change of plans, my friend is doing a H1-01 now, sorry D: We just thought it would be easier to do since I'm doing Tiger already, and the patterns look the same
Time to kick this gathering into high gear! Almost 2012! Almost Fanime! (Amazing how much energy one has post finals.)
It's almost Fanime...have to finish Tiger's suit soon Dx MORE CLAY!! oh and final is coming up D: (double the sadness)
I'll be going as Dragon Kid! :)
My friend and I will be doing casual Tiger and Bunny (me), all day on Friday. Depending on date/time of the gathering we hope to make it! Cheers.
Sorry I haven't check in. Lists updated.
OK, here's the plan:
Tiger & Bunny on Saturday (recommend a time, please)
Kuroshitsuji on Sunday (3:30-4:30 main gathering, tea commences at 4:30 til we decide to break off)
The days may switch depending on when the Black & White Ball is.
Please suggest times for the gathering.
Bleach is down for 3:30 on Saturday and Final Fantasy is down for Saturday TBA.
I know you can't cater to everyone's schedule, but these are huge gatherings that many people are going to. I know the FF group and Bleach group are doing their best to not overlap.
If Tiger and Bunny has to be Saturday, can it be in the morning, like at 9am/10am???
If at all possible, can Tiger and Bunny be moved to Sunday???

Early morning is a bit iffy; what with the suits I don't want to make it too early for the sake of getting dressed and down to the convention floor. Sunday late morning may be a possibility
Unfortunately for this gathering, since we are small and new, we must wait for the big/returning gatherings to select their time slots first. If possible, I might be able to snag a time for T&B around noon; preferably indoors.
If you are lurking and have not stated that you will be attending in cosplay, please do so. The more accurate my number for attendees, the better I will be able to find a suitable space for us. With only 11 of us, the 1st floor lobby of the convention center (near reg) would be a nice location; however, if we are to have upwards of 20, then that area is out of the question due to being a fire hazard.
Please remember that, as a new and small cosplayer gathering, T&B has low priority in time slot/location selection. That said, how do people feel about a (late) morning gathering?
I will continue to address T&B gathering related questions here. Kuroshitsuji gathering related questions will be addressed in the appropriate thread.
I should be there as Karina Lyle, probably gym version.
I would probably be able to make it if it were on Sunday, I have a gathering I'm doing on Saturday as well on that day.
Sunday is the best for me. Morning at least we avoid the heat while dodging the larger groups. I'm in a hero suit and have no problem being fully dressed in the morning.
Sunday late morning sounds nice.
Hopefully this time there won't be unexpected May showers to send everyone indoors.
Late sunday morning as in...11-2 maybe in that time range? I would prefer it being an outdoor gathering, even with a little shower (indoor is just troublesome for us hero suiters :x)
The reason that chaosbark suggested indoors is because: if the weather is normal (and not crazy like last year!) it will be HOT, and we don't want melty heroes. I'll talk with chaosbark about morning, but I'm pretty sure she was thinking 10am or later. I could be wrong...I'll try and text her tonight for her updates ^ ^

Ok, so we have 2 conflicting points of view as to location. As for myself, inside/outside doesn't really matter to me, but we'll put it to a vote. Please discuss the time and location for this gathering. Thank you.
Day: Sunday
Time: TBA (between 10-12)
Location: TBA (inside or outside??)
I'm fine with either inside or outside, I won't roast and I'm quite moveable
My vote goes towards inside, mainly because assuming that the weather will be typical May weather, the temp. indoors will be stable, decent lighting, and is a good spot aside from the entering crowds.
I vote indoor. Good publicity and less problems dealing with weather...(remembers Aang's non-waterproof arrow)
I'll choose inside because otherwise I would be troubling everyone ^^"
Thanks for posting the link to this thread in the Kuro one. I have no idea why I had trouble finding it. e .e;;
Anyway, I'd love to come as civilian/casual/lolwtvr Kotetsu.
Oh yes, and I vote for an indoor gathering as well, just in case the weather decides to be crazy.

Just curious, but, how'd that turn out? :c
Running this by you all before I make any requests:
Gathering or Event Name: Tiger & Bunny Gathering
ALL URL's for the gathering/event: link (http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,16580.0.html)
Requested Day & Time: Sunday @ 11AM
Meeting place &/or Location: Fountains in Front (Convention Entrance) (towards the building for the little shade we might procure)
Y/N? Concerns, other ideas? Speak now, or forever hold your complaints.
No input for location, guys? Shall I go ahead and submit the request, then?
Well then, if no one objects by Sunday evening, I'll submit the request.
I think 11 AM might be a bit too early for some. I say no mainly due a potential low turnout. I'm fine with the location, though.
Who thinks that noon would be better than 11am?
1PM is the latest I can set this as I am helping to organize the Kuroshitsuji gathering at 4:30PM - I'd like some time to wander about and then go change.
List updated:
Submitting for 12(noon) at the entrance. We'll see if we get it.
As long as we get coffee first I don't care what time the gathering is haha

IVAN, STOP SLEEPING!!! WHAT TYPE OF NINJA ARE YOU?????
12pm sounds fine. Location is fine. Go ahead. :3
Sunday at noon works for me!
Noon is wonderful. Lunatic will be there! Would anyone be willing to be a handler for me? At least just for the getting from the hotels to the gathering site?
Sunday at noon is fine by me- I'll be bringing my Barnaby cosplay and I can't wait to meet everyone~
If I can figure out how to make a backpack, I'll be coming as a Scarf Girl!
you'll have to be in every single picture then
no problem with that, so long as my tumblr panel isn't at the same time. I need to make her dress and that blasted bunny backpack.
excuse the lack of caps, I'm posting via phone while listening to a talk.
I'll be there as genderbend Tiger. :D
Sorry for being MIA; finishing up my last quarter of college, currently. I'll update the lists now. :)
I will be cosplaying Dark Tiger and my friend as Tiger.
Hi there! This will be my first time at Fanime (East Coaster here). I plan to join you guys as Lunatic; I look forward to meeting you all. :)
HERRO THAR!
I will cosplaying as Kaede-chan. 8D So excited for this! I might end up getting Hero Cards done, since that would be an awesome addition to my Kaede.
-Suta
Back from my hiatus. Updating the lists now :)
May need to move the gathering. We're almost too large for our set location.

I know that my alternate ego (or am I his?) is coming, so account for one more person going as Judge Petrov. I have no clue if my friend is on this forum, but I know its a number thing right now. +1 person
I will be attending this gathering as Cis.
Sign me as casual Barnaby! ;D
I'll be there as casual Kotetsu
i will be there as Casual Barnaby! And my 2 friends will be Good and Bad Kotetsu :)
I will be going as Keith Goodman :D
So if you could add me to the list that would be great~
Thank you, and again, thank you!
Might be him Friday and only Sunday for this gathering
Hello hello. Hope I am not too late :-[. I only just getting my costume together (Kotetsu). My atendance truely depends on if I get all of the essentials on time. At this late date, would it be too much trouble for me to join in? I'll let you know as soon as possible if I can't!
some friends of mine are joining!
wild tiger (hero)
origami cyclone (hero)
pao-lin (casual)
we are all working diligently on our cosplays as i type this!
Another Ivan here de gozaru. >:0
I hope nobody minds the plug too much, but
I'll be holding a few beginner origami workshops as Ivan at the Cosplayer Hangout area (CH1 MRH = Cosplayer Hangout 1 Market Room Hilton) at 11am Friday and 1pm Saturday, if anyone wants to join. :D
What a showing! Thank you all for the awesome gathering and I must apologize for the slight lack of organization! Next year I'll have to bring a megaphone with me - ended up losing my voice after con, haha. Hope to see all of you next year, got a couple of Tiger & Bunny films to look forward to!
So I have all of my photos from this gathering up in my flickr album. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sutafuzz/sets/72157629980050636/
Thanks to everyone who attended last year for making the gathering as great as it was. Hope to see all of you at the 2013 gathering. Let's see who's planning on showing up. :)
Lunatic will be returning for 2013...and this time I'll be able to see (albeit not very well) out of my mask
I would be Barnaby Jr though unfortunately I will be Tomei in her wedding gown (aka Tiger's wife) but at the white and black ball.
I'll be going as Dragon Kid in her hero outfit.
I may be able to come in Tomoe Kaburagi's normal (character design or casual) outfit, but only if the gathering is on Saturday. Otherwise, I will be coming for pictures in a different cosplay. Hope to see a lot of awesome heroes!
It would be great if it was on sunday again because it was a great way to end the weekend especially since a new episode came out on sunday for Tiger and Bunny.
I have a (mostly) completed Wild Tiger hero suit, which I'm currently installing lights in. I'm trying to make it to the Naruto gathering which starts at 1:30 on the Sunday and both costumes take a lot of prep to put on and take off. Given that, I've made the assumption that it's still scheduled to start at noon and will do what I can to see how fast I can go through costumes. Though, I'm much more likely to show up to this than Naruto if I have to pick.
Uh-oh... I'm not running this gathering this year guys! D: If someone would like to take over, please feel free.
Well that puts us in a jam. I'm already running two other large gatherings and for the sake of my sanity (ironic that I'm Lunatic) cannot take on another. I'd be glad to help someone out as a vice, or be the loud voice that yells at people at the gathering(If I can make it) but I can't take on the added responsibility of running the whole thing.
Someone Please STEP UP! I really love this anime and want to see everyone in one place!
@Chaosbark. If you could include all the information that you sent to Bsaphire (date requested, gathering times requested, location ect.) that would help out anyone who can take on the mantle and make the transition less of a fuss!
Nothing was sent to BSaphire concerning Fanime 2013 - I'm not even sure how this thread became a 2013 thread (I don't remember modifying the thread title). I've actually just returned from a very long break, so I didn't even know that I was still on for coordinating this gathering, my sincere apologies for the confusion. Unfortunately, anyone who wants to run this gathering for 2013 is going to have to start from scratch in terms of getting the gathering up and running. There is no official date/time/location request for a 2013 T&B gathering; however, I do believe that it would count as a returning 60+ gathering. The head count that my vices and I came to by the end of the gathering was approximately 65 people. You will have to check with B on this.
I can take over this gathering.
Thank you, Dare.
So what do I have to do to make it offical that am in charge of this gathering?
You'll need to make a new thread for the gathering (this post will show you the necessary layout for the thread (http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,12405.msg327678.html#msg327678)), then post in the Gatherings/Event URL List 2013 Edition (http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,12406.0.html) thread. In that thread, include the url of the new gathering thread and state that you are taking over the gathering.
After that, go to the 2013 Official Cosplayer Gatherings & Events List (http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,12405.0.html) and follow the guidelines to submit a time/location request for the gathering.
For those who don't know, I'll be taking over this gathering and here is the new link: http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,18309.0.html
