Gintama 2011

[MyMidnightAffair]

At con: anytime you see someone dressed in a Gintama cosplay, let them know when and where the gathering is!

I'll check out if there's anything on cosplay.com. ^_^

Edit: There was a Gintama-labeled thread over at cosplay.com, so I posted all the gathering info there too. =D

Does anyone have any ideas for particular photo ops or anything special they want to do at the gathering? Might as well throw around some thoughts now.

Well we can do a few poses from the anime, both funny, serious, & whatever.

I can put up a bunch of pics, & you guys can choose what would be best. :)

And no worries, I'll spread word if I see any Gintama cosplayers.

What do you guys think?

Pics of Gintoki, Shinpachi and Kagura in that pose where they announce themselves as the Yorozuya (dunno how to describe it, but hopefully someone will know what I mean).  Otaku Toushi and Shinpachi duking it out.

Otaku Battle :

Yorozuya? : http://www.gamekyo.com/images_1/avatar/big/9b257ee76921ae8c6804f7633f0bd17420110110175401.jpg

I hope this is what you meant. ^^;
Any more suggestions?

[PsychicPsycho]

Definitely Otaku Battle. XD There was also the gag of Otaku Toushi taking pictures of Kagura's "cosplay," you guys could do that. Perhaps a picture of Gin/Kagra/Shinpachi's glasses? *think think think* lol

(I have no idea what poses I'll be doing, since I'm cosplaying a figurine in an anime. XD)

But the thing is, who will be cosplaying as the "Otaku-ed" versions in that episode?

But eh, it's alright; We can do whatever poses we want. :D
Who're you cosplaying as PsychicPsycho?

Tomoe 5000, the Sailor Moon ripoff that Tosshi/Otaku Toushi is obsessed with. http://images.wikia.com/gintama/images/d/d0/Tomoe5000.jpg

And I'm half-asleep, but what do you mean by, "But the thing is, who will be cosplaying as the "Otaku-ed" versions in that episode?" ^^;

[MyMidnightAffair]

Nice ref. pic. & what I meant was who will cosplay as the original characters that have different outfits in that episode.
I know, sounds pretty confusing. -o-

For example, who's going to cosplay as Hijikata in Otaku form??

Go half asleep people, b/c I am too~

[PsychicPsycho]

Rette is gunna be Otaku Tosshi. She's why I'm making Tomoe. ^^ I know there are other otaku alternate outfits, but I have no idea if anyone else is going to cosplay one. But we should totally get shots of Tosshi VS Shinpachi, lol

[MyMidnightAffair]

No problem!
Now that we have otaku-based Gintama cosplayers, we can hold that lil' battle you were talkin' bout. :)

I'm looking for the gathering on Cosplay.com D:

Thanks!!!

[PsychicPsycho]

No prob, I'd just found it about 15 minutes ago, lol. There's only a couple posts at the moment, but oh well. ^^

[MyMidnightAffair]

Hopefully, word will get out, b/c I remember there were quite a lot of cosplayers for Gintama.. or maybe that was just me?

[PsychicPsycho]

I didn't get to go to last years Gintama gathering, but I've heard there were a decent amount of people. Here's hoping more show up!

[sugarpunch18]

How bout a Yorozuya Eating/Fighting scene? It oughta be good cuz watching the Yorozuya eat is like watching a pack of hungry wolves! XD

Aren't there a lot of scenes like that? :D
But yes! That sounds like another idea too.

Anyone wanna bring food?

[BunofGovt]

I can bring the fake pizza I had last year.  BTW, I'm signed up for the Cosplay Chess game at 1pm on Sunday, if any of you are interested in going to that right after the gathering.

Fake pizza? Sounds different, but ok!
Last year, I was about to play Cosplay Chess, but I had other plans that hour. Hopefully, I can play this year.

Fake pizza sounds quite awesome, you should definitely bring it! ;D

[PsychicPsycho]

Fake pizza would be awesome! I was thinking that it might be kinda hard to include real food in a gathering/photoshoot, lol
