Hello there and welcome to the 2022 Inuyasha/Yashahime Gathering! I will be your host for this gathering and I have decided to make a thread early on(perhaps to try and fill some of the void of no convention this year yet things are looking hopeful for next year!) Date and time will be TBA for quite some time, though, but I would probably aim for Friday or Sunday for this gathering!

[Taken Characters]

Hey guys! My Final Fantasy panel group is planning on hosting a Final Fantasy VII panel this year! (Last year we did a VII and XV 18+ panel if you remember that!)

Anyway, next year we are aiming at hosting a VII specific panel(since the Remake is coming out next year!) and while we have mostly everyone, we are still missing a couple characters, hence why I am making this post!

Panel summary: Moogle will be our host, but wait! Turns out this "moogle" is actually Hojo! Barret is the rule enforcer and Yuffie is, well, the stage ninja. Everyone else is just there for the fun of it.

The panel will be all ages this time! So that means NO swearing or any jokes/topics with a PG13 rating! (Though if anyone does feel the need to swear >looking at you Barret< then those words will be censored.)

Now without further ado, here is the list of taken and available characters!

Taken Characters
Cloud
Zack
Barret
Aerith
Yuffie
Vincent
Reno
Rude
Genesis
Angeal
Moogle

Available Characters
Sephiroth
Tifa
Tseng
Elena OR Rufus(cannot have both so whichever one we get first basically)


Thank you for checking out this thread and we hope to see you at our panel!! <3

Would anybody be interested in a Haruhi Suzumiya/Lucky Star gathering on Day 0? I figure with Aya Hirano being a guest that there'll be a handful of cosplayers from both series again! I was thinking if there's enough people interested that we can have a casual gathering/meetup on Day 0!

Day: Thursday(Day 0!)
Time: I was thinking 3pm?
Location: Art structure at the front of the convention center!

FB event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/2409196445966963/

[Important: There will be a mandatory rehearsal Friday at 6pm! This is not a dress rehearsal so you do not have to be in the cosplay of your character!]

(Panel has been confirmed! Updated details are below! While I am not the leader of the panel I am helping to recruit hence why I posted it here!)

Hello there, everyone! My group is planning on hosting a Final Fantasy panel(18+), and we are in need of characters!! Below I will list details about the panel as well as who we need and from what games, so without further ado:

The panel is basically an anything goes(almost!) panel! There will be questions asked, fun and games, and maybe some truth or dare! I will add more details if needed over time, so do check back here!

Important: There will be a mandatory rehearsal Friday at 6pm! This is not a dress rehearsal so you do not have to be in the cosplay of your character!

Date: Sunday
Time: 10pm-12am
Location: Fairmont

We are only looking for characters from VII and XV since those are the characters we have! If we tried to have characters from all games, it would be too many people!

Now then, onto characters:

Who We Need

Final Fantasy XV
Anyone we don't have!!

-And basically anyone else from VII or XV that we do not have. However we don't want to have the cast of characters be too big as we can only fit so many people on the panel stage!

Who We Have

Final Fantasy
Moogle/Mog x2 (They will basically be hosting the panel and are the only mascot characters we need)

Final Fantasy VII
Reno
Rude
Aerith
Cloud
Zack

Final Fantasy XV
Noctis
Prompto
Ignis
Gladio

So far those are only the ones we are looking for, however I will update this if we are looking for any others! Feel free to post here if you're interested!

Hello everyone and welcome to the 2019 Rumiko Takahashi Gathering!! This year I will be your host and leader of this gathering. I noticed that in some years past there was a gathering for all of Rumiko Takahashi's anime/manga, and I wanted to see if I could take over that gathering this year! Since I know there's still a handful of Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2 cosplays that I see around. I will be cosplaying Kagome myself and hope to see fellow cosplayers from Rumiko's stuff! ^^

Is anyone planning on hosting a Dramatical Murder gathering this year?? I am in no means taking it over, I just wondered since there isn't one planned yet. :(

Ok! So it appears no one has made a Free! gathering for this year yet(and I was also informed that no one has submitted one to gatherings!) So I finally decided that I would take it over! Yay!

I know that every year there's the Disney/Pixar gathering as well as the Disney Extended gathering, but how about just a Pixar gathering? I'm considering hosting one if people are interested! Can't remember there being one lately. I'll keep this thread open for the gathering just in case. ^^

Ok, so I'm gonna go ahead and attempt this after all. So if anyone is interested, please post here or in the FB event page.

Hello everyone and welcome to the thread for the Unofficial Ghibli Meetup on Day 0! If you're doing a cosplay from a Studio Ghibli film(My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, etc.) then please join us in our little meetup! ^^ This isn't an official gathering, so we'll probably just get together to hang out, chat about our favorite Ghibli films, and take pictures together. <3 Even if you aren't cosplaying from Ghibli, you can still join us if you'd like! :) If there's enough Ghibli cosplayers at this then people are more than welcome to take pictures of all the Ghibli cosplayers at this meetup!

(If you do not wish to have your picture taken, please step aside when people do take our pictures. Thanks! :) )

Day: Thursday(Day 0)
Time: 5pm(subject to change)
Location: Art structure in front(figure it's the easiest place for us all to meet up :) )

Alright, let's make this a fun little event! ^^

[Note:]

Alright so I'm gonna go ahead and give this a shot! If there is enough interest I will submit this to be an official gathering once that goes up! So come, my fellow hosts, and lets all join together to make this a fun gathering!! Also if anyone has a megaphone and wants to bring it that would be great! In case shouting is needed. ^^;

Hey, so I know Fruits Basket cosplays are kinda declining(or have been for the past couple years), but I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in a Fruits Basket gathering for this year. I know there have been Fruba gatherings in the past, and I'm not sure if anyone's planning to host one this year, but since a friend and I are planning on doing Fruba cosplays for Fanime, I thought I'd ask and see if either someone's planning on hosting a gathering this year, or if not then if there's enough interest for one at all. ^^

If no one else plans to host it, I might do so. XD Just have to see if anyone is interested at all.

(I promise I won't make the same mistake I did last year. ;u; Thing is I misplaced some of my Mink items hence why I was late. QuQ But this year I'll be there on time!! >8U )

Alright! So, gonna re-host the gathering for this year! Along with my group, since we're basically doing Team Morphine this year. So DMMD is being overrun by Morphine. Yay. XD Same stuff/rules apply from last year and whatnot.

Hello, everyone!! This year I'm gonna be hosting an "Ask a Pokemon Trainer" panel! It's my first time doing a Pokemon panel, but it should be lots of fun and I hope you guys can attend it!!

As far as our cast goes, we have pretty much everyone we need, but we could use some Rocket Grunts, so if you cosplay as a grunt and would like to be in the panel, just let me know by shooting me a PM or simply responding to this thread!! We could use multiple grunts, so the more the merrier!

That being said, happy Pokemon-training!!

[We are approved for Monday at 12:00 - 2:00 in Panels 1!! Hope you can all make it!]

We are approved for Monday at 12:00 - 2:00 in Panels 1!! Hope you can all make it!

Ok, so after talking with JJ about the panel, we both agreed that perhaps we should change it to a normal Q&A, since it seems the original Q&A panel kinda dropped off the face of the earth(ahahaha), so if the rest of our cast is ok with that, then let's make the switch!! ^^


Anyways, without further ado, here is the cast and characters list!!

Current Cast of Characters
Claude Faustus: Angelx624
Alois Trancy: CandyKaza_Love
Ciel Phantomhive: Emma
Sebastian Michaelis: Kato


We could use just about anyone from the series, and we don't really have to have every single character for the panel, but having a good number of them would be nice. I'll update this post as we gain more characters for the panel! ^^ Also decided to just go ahead and make a new thread and start fresh for this year. :D

[Current Cast of Characters]

Gonna actually make a brand new thread to keep more organized and whatnot.


Alright!! It's that time of year again! Time to start planning for this year's Kuro Dance Lesson Panel! And hopefully this time, we can land a bigger audience. ^^;;

So, pretty much the same stuff applies. We are in dire need of characters, again, and we'll be checking with last year's cast to see if they'll be joining us again. However, there'll be slight changes(as in, I won't be Grell this time around for the panel, sobsob ;w;). Other than those slight changes, though, everything else is the same as it was before! So, let's make this year's panel amazing!!


Anyways, without further ado, here is the cast and characters list!!

Current Cast of Characters
William T. Spears: AnimefanJJ
Claude Faustus: Angelx624


(We could use just about anyone from the series, and we don't really have to have every single character for the panel, but having a good number of them would be nice. I'll update this post as we gain more characters for the panel! ^^)

Are you a fan of Power Rangers, but have no idea where it truly began? Are you a Super Sentai fan, and want to know more about it's American adaptation? Well, in this panel, we'll be comparing Super Sentai and Power Rangers. So come join us for a super showy hour!


Yup! Basically we'll be discussing the similarities as well as the differences between Super Sentai and Power Rangers. So please come join us! ^^ Let's make this showy!!
