Hello all,

I am back to host the JJBA gathering for Fanime 2026! This year I will be requesting only Sunday for the gathering date and ideally between 12-3 or 4 pm since that seems to work best for this group.

Name of the gathering: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Gathering

This Gathering Includes: All parts 1-9, spin-offs, stands, etc - NOTE: PLEASE be mindful of part 9 spoilers!

Day: Sunday
Time: T2:00pm (TENTATIVE!)
Meeting: G6 (TENTATIVE!)
Location (L): G6 (TENTATIVE!)

Cosplayers:
-TBA (I may not be cosplaying Jojo this year, but we'll see!)

Legal Statement - Fanime will be taking group pictures during the Gathering/Event 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.
***IMPORTANT NOTE*** Fanime is short staffed on photographers so it is unlikely we will have one at the gathering this year. Please have a friend to take photos for you if possible. I looked into hiring a photographer for us, but unfortunately cannot afford it. My apologies.

Thank you!

TYSM FOR HOSTING THE GATHERING.... I had a lot of fun! And thank you so much for the photo cards, that was so nice 😭

also i still have some nishiki/kiryu stickers to give away if anyone's following this thread and wants one! i'll be hosting the jojo gathering tmrw at 3pm might be the easiest way to find me bc i don't know if i'll be cosplaying LOL

SBR ANIME CONFIRMED BAYBIEEEEE

Looks like we are on Sunday at 10 am at G6.

Hi all. We've been given a couple not so great options. We can do Sunday at G6 at 10 am which was assigned but is honestly hard for me to get to first thing in the morning, or we can do 6 pm in the evening. This is wildly different than our usual 1 pm gathering slot, and I apologize. 10 am was not my first choice and 6 pm was offered after I reached out to ask about changing the time.

Let me know what you think. I'm leaning toward 10 am because I'd like to attend CWF in the evening but I value your input.

To be perfectly frank, this is likely my last year hosting the Jojo gathering so if you'd like to take over for 2026, hit me up.

Thanks.

Hell YES!!! I'm going to be judgement nishiki. Wanted to do Izo from Ishin but that'll be for next year :)

I don't know if I'll be able to get the day off yet lol but interested in co-hosting if you need help.

YAYYYY NISHIKI!!! MY BELOVED!!!!! I hope there's a Judgment Kiryu there too!

I'll show up most likely as Yagami from Judgment, and I have a friend who will show up as either Kaito or Saejima!

wahoooo!!! i love seeing judgment (game LOL) cosplays! i was going to try to do izo from ishin this year but shit happened. maybe next year though, provided fanime's pre reg prices don't reach $100 LOL

Hell YES!!! I'm going to be judgement nishiki. Wanted to do Izo from Ishin but that'll be for next year :)

I don't know if I'll be able to get the day off yet lol but interested in co-hosting if you need help.

Gonna cosplay as Diavolo if possible. I hope it happens at a good location such as G6 and it does not happen at the same time for other cosplay gatherings I want to go to. If anything I plan to host demon slayers before this cosplay gathering at G6 if I get it.

We typically try to get Sunday at 1:00 pm at G6!

News of the gathering: ***UPDATE 4/12/2025*** Our gathering slot was moved from 10am to 3pm. Thank you Tiffany 🙏 Also, SBR CONFIRMED!!!

Hello everyone,

The cosplay gathering photos throughout Fanime weekend are now available at the link below. Unfortunately, because the gatherings department did not send us a photographer, there are none for the JoJo gathering.

I am really sorry about this and frustrated with the way it was handled, but I won't say more on the matter.

If you attended any other gatherings over the weekend, you can (hopefully) find them here:

@cinnamonraesin aw, bummed we missed you but I get it - it's hard to plan for every gathering you want to attend.

Also, thank you so much to everyone for attending the 2024 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure cosplay gathering.

As I tried to explain during the gathering, the QR code you all scanned is so you can upload any photos that you took and would like to share. However, please be aware by uploading these photos you are giving full rights to Fanime to use them. I will keep everyone updated about the photos.

Anyway, here is a Facebook album someone shared with photos they took at the Jojo gathering as well as a few others. Check it out!

Oh I love that!!! Can't wait to see y'all there.

[if you have a friend available to take photos for you at the gathering, I highly recommend it!]

Hello friends,

Just wanted to post an update - I'm not entirely sure what the photography situation will be, so if you have a friend available to take photos for you at the gathering, I highly recommend it!

On that note, if you have a pose request that we didn't get to last year, please fill out this pose request form and it will be added to our pose list. Thanks!

Hell yeah! Looking forward to both your cosplays.

Updating the main post now with confirmed day, time, and location.

Hello all,

Since most of the cosplay gathering department (if not all) have left due to toxic work environment and being overworked, I am not sure when we will be signing up officially for a gathering slot. I will keep an eye out and update this post and the FB page as more information comes to light.

I am in full support of the Fanime cosplay gathering, gaming, and other depts taking a stance and standing up for themselves. ♥
