Just curious to see if there are indeed enough people interested in doing a Ranma 1/2 Cosplay Gathering at this years shindig?
I've already confirmed that I am going as Tatewaki Kuno.
So, if there are any souls who are as excited at cosplaying it "old-school"
Then lemme know and I'll edit you to this post!
UPDATE!!!
-------------------------
Meeting:
When: 4:30 PM, SUNDAY.
Where: Fountain in front of Convention Center. (unless you have a better idea)
Input is needed pls :3
-------------------------
Here's who's doin' what.
Loktera :: Tatewaki Kuno
zoup :: Ranma (Male) & Ryoga
SkaKitti :: Genma (Human & Panda)
BrightHeart76 :: Ukyou
narutofan17 :: Ryoga
Spency_G: Ranma male version
Fox: Ranma female version
Pat: Mousse
You BET'CHAself that I'll come as Ranma Saotome... THIS time. And if my commish doesn't deliver in the next... 4 days, I'll just start work on it myself. No matter what, ZOUPZUOP2 WILL BE RANMA SAOTOME (male. Don't have the figure for female...), and I'll SO be there. ;3
I'm commissioning human AND panda Genma for my friends next year. ^_^
I recently sent a complaint via BBB to my cosplay commissioner of about ¾ of a year ago, so I should be seeing something in regards to my cosplay soon. In the meantime, I'm considering also cosplaying as Ryoga, seeing as I've found an odd fondness for bandanas lately. All I'd need is a shirt, stuff to tie around my legs and a red umbrella (not to mention the right bandana) and I'd have another cosplay.
I'm working on a Mousse costume right now! I'll do my damndest to be there
nothing like old school for the win,
I have random Chinese clothing and technically I could pull a ranma myself.
I'll try to mix things up if I have a random yellow shirt and and old bamboo umbrella and a bandana lying around...
Girl Ranma's another one of those "If all else fails" plans for me. Seeing that people are really into the Naruto and Bleach these days, it'd be refreshing to see some eighties anime cosplayers out there.
Damn, I can remember when Ranma 1/2 was THE popular anime of the collective fandom...XD
Ahhh, back when the series everyone loved wasn't ONLY what was being showed on Cartoon Network or Adult Swim... *sigh*
...who am I kidding? Wasn't Ranma on CN for a little bit? And I only got into it in, like, the early thousands. Ne'er mind.
Agree with you on the sighing over the fact that people only pay attention to the major fanbase anime.
Ranma 1/2 was never on CN--as I recall, their old anime lineup was Tenchi Muyo, Cowboy Bebop, Yu Yu Hakusho, Trigun, Outlaw Star, Canaidate (? I can NOT spell today) for Goddess, and InuYasha (Holy Hell! A five year run and still no plot development in that show.)
I got into Ranma when I was in elementary/middle school, borrowing the VHS tapes from my local video store. Ah, the memories...

I have the first FOUR seasons on VHS... i think i should give it away...
since I have ALL Seven Seasons on DVD AND the movies AND the OAVS...
and my room looks like an anime store...
Anybody wants the Ranma 1/2 VHS? they need a good home. (FYI their Dubbed if you could handle it) ::)
waaaaa this is the first year i can't i lost my Ranma shirt >.<
WOOOO!!!!!! I'm goin to cosplay as Ryoga!!!!!!
Sweet! Let's update the main post with that little tidbit! (And, chances are quite slim I'll be going as Ryoga. Push comes to shove, I'll have to think of some other cosplays that are less demanding... Takumi of Initial D, maybe?)
Baring disaster I'll either be Akane or Kasumi for part of fanime. Gotta love the classics of anime. :D
Whichever one works, although a Kasumi would be a nice change to the sometimes frequent Akanes...
Nice! We may have a good set of people in '08!
I bring this thread LIEF! EHL AYE EEH EFF! LIEF!
Any updates on this? Anyone change their minds and not doing this? Anyone inspired to join us? My plan is still set to go as Ranma Saotome-kun; as for Ryoga, it's less likely.
Just updated the first post
Please fill me in on what time you would like to get a gathering together for a group shot, also, a good location for said group shot would be helpful as well.
Update: Chances VERY small of me going as Ryoga. In fact, due to finances, a LOT is in question... if I do go to Fanime, it'll definitely be as Ranma S.
And, we need to get a gathering going!! We're not on the list yet, so we need a date and time. (Sorry to parrot, Lok... but this does constitute a good bump in attention, so might as well restate it, ne?)
BUMP
(Because I CAN~)
Alright! I bump this thread not just by bumping, but with... DUN DUN DUNNNNN... A DILEMMA!
I need hair. Specifically, I need to scrape together a working Ranma Saotome wig for this whole thing to work out. As such, I'm considering buying this wig and restyling it:
http://www.amphigory.com/wigs_fae.html
However, a few concerns:
* Not sure how the restyling would go. The back end flips up a good bit and I'm quite new with the whole cosplay thing (yes, even now).
* Is there a better wig for this purpose... at a similar price? I really like how Amphigory's pricing is going with this (shipping considered).
* Should I just grow my hair out, spray-color it black, and grab a pigtail extension instead? Much riskier, but a good bit cheaper.
Your thoughts plzkthx. If this doesn't stay up, I may just repost as an individual thread...
Unless anyone objects...
RANMA ½ GATHERING/PHOTOSHOOT, 4:30 PM, SUNDAY.
Just to get us on the board.
COOL! ALL.... 3 of us...
Y'know what? Two years ago, that was ALL THERE WAS to the Ranma gathering. If we make par on that, I'll be satisfied. Who knows? Maybe there'll be more cosplayers than the ones on the boards alone.

I hope so. :3
There are a few more...
i am going as Ranma male version
Fox is going as Ranma female version
Pat is going as Mosse
i think that doubles your estimate
It does! Finally... a Ranma gathering of notable size! *sigh*
I'm gona be Ranma!
(a short hair girl ranma)
I think I should have my Ukyou cosplay done in time...count me as a maybe.
Cool. A Maybe is fine too.
So, does anyone have any ideas for a potential gathering weirdness?
Anything with Squirt guns counts for irony. ;)
Otherwise I dunno. To be honest, it looks like there isn't much representation for Ranma at Fanime this year in terms of showings and/or sold stuff, so we really gott'a represent "'da big R".
I could think of some during work. Oth'wise we'll see.
One Ryoga, reporting for duty. If I can get the other stuff done on time, it'll be the first anime appearance version.
Edit: Figures the meeting spot would be by the fountain.
Anyone got pics of 'dis?
