Touken Ranbu 2016

[sylphofkarkat]

Last April I had no idea what this game was and only saw a grand total of one (1) sword cosplay (which was amazing, by the way, min if you're reading this i love your ima cos!! i'm so glad to see it improving every time you wear it!!) Now that it's a new year, it's been about a month since I've started playing, and I'm already sucked into sword hell. But enough about me, who else will be cosplaying from Touken Ranbu next March??

My friends and I are making our cosplays kind of a senior year project (except they don't know what tkrb is ^n^;;); at the moment I am set to be Kashuu, one friend will be Yasusada and another may be Horikawa. I'm really hoping I can get two more friends to join me so I can get an entire Shinsengumi group!

If possible I would love to schedule a photoshoot!

That sounds great! I am planning Nikkari Aoe and my partner as Imanotsurugi. (Perhaps a friend of ours as Iwatooshi too.)
I am not sure what day to plan it yet since it is so far out. Glad to know there is interest!

[oaruish]

I will most likely be attending as Izumi no Kami Kanesada so if you need someone for your Shinsengumi group please feel free to message me! Sounds like a great idea and I'm always ready to find more friends who get sucked into the sword hell abyss.

The smith may not forge Jijis but he does forge friendships.

Oh, splendid! I can't wait to see you guys!
Yeah, since it's so long from now I don't know either. I'm thinking about Saturday since it's the most crowded day so we may get more people to show up. We'll see.

Whoa, thank you for the offer! I'll keep you in mind! My friend who was going to be Horikawa now wants to be Namazuo though, so I guess I'm back to square two. Do you have a Tumblr or Twitter so we can talk about this?

Sorry for the late reply, I sent a PM

I will definitely be going to the photoshoot on Sat as a photographer, but I've decided to do my Kogitsunemaru cos on Friday :/
Would there be any interest in doing a shoot on friday, even if it's a smaller one? I don't know the venue so I can't set it up but if there's other cosplayers doing swords on Friday I'd be super happy to get together!

Hey! I will also be doing tkrb for Friday; I wouldn't mind hosting. I should be free from 10 AM - 4PM.
Here are some suggestions for location:
Outside:

• Christian Science Plaza Water area (down the Huntington Arcade path of the Pru, out those doors, across the street https://goo.gl/maps/aDVDPnTWXwk )
  Patio Area (door leading out of Boylston Arcade https://goo.gl/maps/3uPi959JB9p )

Inside:

• Outside Panel 210
  Outside Panel 313
  Outside PF Chang's (down Belvidere Arcade)

Time and location will also depend on the time agreed on.

I would be willing to do any time on Friday! I don't think I have anything scheduled for that day. I've never been to Boston so I have any idea what any locations are like, so I can leave that up to you! Both of the outside locations look really nice!

I'd be interested in a Friday shoot! I'm going to be bringing Yamatonokami Yasusada, but I can't do Saturday afternoon because I'm staff and that's my department's busy-time. I'm pretty flexible for time Friday, though!

[Ibitaniryou]

If there is a Friday shoot I prob go as saniwa or something, i think saturday i maybe cosing fudou or internal affairs maeda, but I guess for friday sometime in later afternoon maybe like 2 pm?

[jajafar]

outside of rm 313 is in use for a shoot at 1pm and 3:30pm on Friday so i would suggest not having that as the main location or rained-out location since people will be hanging around before/after the shoots for awhile.

Sure thing! I will put together a Friday meet since it is becoming popular.

Thank you, Saniwa! I will make the tentative plan for 2 PM so far.

Thanks for that. I wasn't sure just yet because of time frame.
If nice weather permits, Christian Science Plaza Water area? (I saw there is a FF group, but that area is large so we can locate.) If not, inside entrance of PF Chang's?

I will see about scoping out the suggested (non-Hynes) areas this week.

Is "the reflecting pool" the Christian Science Centre water area? I've never been to Boston I have no idea where these locations are lol

Also have we decided on a time? Maybe around 1 or 2pm?

It is! Sometimes the water isn't filled until warmer weather though. It should be easy to spot. I will provide directions if it is decided to be there (or if another is chosen).
2 PM is decided! Here is the FB event page. https://www.facebook.com/events/1123318024386108
It will be updated with more info once everything's decided.

[jajafar]

OK! Can you submit the time/location to the master thread, since you're the organizer and all lol
Should we also have a rained-out location inside somewhere?
