Hello, everyone and welcome to the Shin Megami Tensei gathering thread for Fanime 2009.

So, with talk between friends of Persona cosplay, and a growing number of people doing persona 4 cosplay. I thought it would be a good idea to start up a gathering thread.

Fanime will be taking group pictures during the Gathering 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.
I'll be cosplaying Kuma's Alice crossplay from Persona 4
I'll be cosplaying as both the P3 MC and Beauty Pageant Yosuke this year at Fanime, but I think I'll bring BP!Yosuke to the gathering.
So yeah, I'll be there.
Oh.. there is a thread. =D The cosplay my boyfriend and I are doing are from Persona 3. I will be Mitsuru Kirijo and my boyfriend is Akihiko Sanada.
I know, right? I've been waiting for a thread to come up for months, but didn't want to make one myself because I didn't want to organize the gathering.
Anyways, good to know there will be more P3 cosplayers this Fanime. I was afraid it had been overshadowed by P4.
Okay. I've updated the thread with you guys.
I'm glad to see some other cosplayers besides persona 4. I would still like to see some other cosplayers show up from series besides persona. But you can't complain to much right?
Thanks Liven.
And I guess its to be expected, given that P4 is the newest MegaTen installation, but I agree. It'd be nice to see some cosplayers from the other games as well.
So people are thinking about making the gathering happen around the fountains, right? ...Considering what I'm cosplaying, I'll have to cross my fingers that it isn't particularly windy...

Well, if you're worried about any accidental flashing. You can invest in a pair of spankies. They're the little shorts cheerleaders wear. If you can't find those. Then you can buy ladies briefs from walmart. I bought a package of two(white and black) When you wear them under a skirt, they look like you're wearing shorter bike shorts, but a more comfy fit.
and how do you think I feel? I'm gonna have petal wings and peg legs. @_@
Haha, touche! I can't wait to see that by the way, I always love seeing actual Persona cosplays.
And thanks a bunch for the suggestion, that sounds perfect. Too bad there isn't a WalMart nearby... I'll try looking elsewhere for them though. Accidental panty-shots are one less thing I have to worry about now.
Well, if you can't make it to a Walmart. They should be easily found on most clothing sites. Just google up ladies briefs. Macy's and Nordstroms came up. So it's safe to assume any major chain store like JCPenny's, Macy's, Nordstroms should have them. Just basically any store that sells underwear really. All else fails, you can order online.
Thank you for all the additional info. I'll remember to pick up some this weekend while I do some fabric shopping...
Also, a friend of mine is somewhere on this forum but hasn't posted yet, but yeah, he'll probably be showing up to the gathering as preferably Teddie (bear costume), but if that doesn't work out for him then he'll go as Junpei.
But if you could go ahead and put him down as Teddie on the list, that'd be great. :J His username is Ciel. Thanks!
Just bumping this up since its been a while; also, there was a thread a while ago asking about people who were going to cosplay from Persona, and some people assumed it was the gathering thread and started asking to be put down as so-and-so. I'll find the thread and link them here.
I'm going as Main Character, can't wait to see everyone there. Is it May yet?
Ooooh, which Main Character? There's quite a few of them, though I'm assuming you mean from P4?

Oh sorry, I'm gonna be MC from Persona 3, I don't have enough time to make another cosplay, I'll be Naoto from P4 next time.
No problem. I would have been joining you as the P3 MC, but I don't have time for it this year unfortunately. Hopefully by next year I'll have my Chie cosplay done, so yeah.
bump - _-

Thank you. That'd be great if you did.
Also, I apologize if it seems like I've been ignoring the thread. My home computer is having issues with loading the site(I'm on a different computer at the moment). I upgraded firefox and it seems it doesn't like the fanime forums. Cosplay.com is working fine, so if you really need to contact me, and have an account there, feel free to post in that thread.
I can't wait to see all of these costumes...
I'll be dressing as the protagonist from Persona 3.
Hello!
I'll be dressed as Ryoji from P3 and a friend will be doing Margaret from P4.
Another friend might be doing Mitsuru from P3, but she's still not sure;;;;;;
Sunday's out for me since a bunch of us are doing Hetalia on Sunday....
How long will the gathering last? 12pm Saturday is the same time as the Rock Band tournament and I've been dragged into that by my friends. I'm curious as I'll be cosplaying as King Moron and I'd love to attend the gathering and "lecture" the teenagers.
There usually isn't a set length of time for gatherings so its hard to say, but most of the time they last at least half an hour, it depends on the size. You could always go to the tournament, and then race to the gathering if you still have time.
It'd be pretty sweet to have a King Moron with us.
Anyways, this gathering thread isn't very active here, because the gathering host has difficulties accessing this site, so you might want to go check out the thread at cosplay.com, if you haven't already.
Gathering/Event Organizer: Please Read my last post in Fanime 09 Cosplayer Gatherings List thread.
Gomen Nasai ^^)
BSaphire
Count me in! I'll be there! I'm almost done w/ my costume. ^^
I'll be attending as a Chariot Maya Shadow! XD I dunno if I'll have a cloak-like costume or just wear all black +mask. Mask is the important bit XD
Glad I managed to meet up with a lot of P4 cosplayers after the gathering and gave them a good lecturing ;D Lunch was great as well, can't wait for pictures.
Same; I was given incorrect info for the time of the gathering, which King Moron pointed out to me (whilst lecturing me about cross-dressing), so I wasn't able to be there, but I got to find a lot of P4 people around regardless and snapped some pictures, so it wasn't so bad! I'll post links once I have them uploaded.
Not my video but I thought it's only fitting to post seeing how no links to pictures from the gathering or any photoshoots have surfaced. Mainly stars the exploits of a Minato cosplayer.
