AX 2013: Shin Megami Tensei/Persona Gathering

[]-Katsu-[]

Hello and welcome to the Shin Megami Tensei//Persona gathering for Anime Expo 2013!! Never seems too early to get this started and know though a lot of time a good range of the cosplays are normally from the Persona games other SMT titles game cosplays are more then welcome to join in as well, as this gathering for all SMT titles.

[Waifu Beam]

How did I not see this?! Anyway, I'll be attending as Rise. >w<

[darkchappy]

Put me down as the MC from Devil Survivor 2

[Llytix]

Depending what day and stuff, I'll be attending as Aigis!

[epicserendipity]

OMG, yes! Thank you so much for doing this. I was praying there would be other P4 cosplayers at AX13. Dude, that's awesome.

I'll be crossplaying for the first time ever as Yosuke Hanamura (winter casual) -95% complete. For one of the other days, I also plan on going as Chie Satonaka.

Edited:
As of yesterday, I started working on the school uniform for Yosuke, so I'll have a costume change, and something for multiple days.

[Rerouch]

I think I'll show up to the Midnight gathering again as Shadow Adachi.

Yeeeeeeeeeesssssssss. Love it!

This is a great thread. When we all get to the con, we won't be complete strangers.

Anyone know of an event/comic convention, whatever coming up in L.A where I can test drive my cosplay without being seriously out of place? Or solitary? Being alone in stuff like this smells of awkward, and really sucks.

[Waifu Beam]

I'm very excited to be attending a SMT/Persona gathering for once this year. Gatherings are so much fun for me. >w<

List has been updated. welcome everyone and looking forward to seeing everyone's cosplays! I'll also sometime be adding a poll so voting can begin about which day are gathering will be held.

epicserendipity: At the moment there are only a couple of other conventions I can think of that are happening somewhat near LA, you have WonderCon in the Anaheim Convention Center which is happening March 29th-31st and Anime Conji in San Diego on April 12th-14th. Also this Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/Infotakus?ref=ts&fref=ts tends to host cosplay gatherings from time in places like Little Tokyo and other places around LA.

[epicserendipity]

Awesome, Katsu. I'll check 'em out. Gonna need a ride for the Anaheim one if that's happening. Bicycle can only go so far. *sigh* I need a moped or something.

An excuse to go to Little Tokyo? Yes please. I haven't been to that little mochi shop in a while.

I don't have a problem, I don't have a problem, I don't have a problem.....

[VanguardLancer]

Well, all that's left is to make the hat, but I'll be going as school uniform Naoto ^^

[epicserendipity]

School uniform complete.
You may count me in as a traditional Yosuke Hanamura in the Yasogami High uniform as well as the winter casual. --complete with hipster shoes.
This will be the first time I've tried cosplaying two outfits in one day. I think I need a bigger phone booth.

VanguardLancer; -- You're going to make an awesome Naoto. Pics, please.

Update: I'm still trying to grind down my friend (who's a teacher) to go as Mr. Morooka. I will let you guys know if he finally breaks -- if only to get me to stop pestering him to do it. I shall never quit!

[LawlietCookies]

Oooh! I'll definitely try to make this one! Depending on the day I'll be Ai Ebihara from Persona 4
I know, I know...she's kind of a minor character. T_T

[Waifu Beam]

^ But minor characters can be awesome too. :'D
