Touken Ranbu 2016
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!

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.

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?oaruish wrote: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!

Re: Touken Ranbu 2016
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!

Re: Touken Ranbu 2016
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!peachy wrote:Hey!

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!

Re: Touken Ranbu 2016
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.

Thank you, Saniwa! I will make the tentative plan for 2 PM so far.Ibitaniryou wrote: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?
Thanks for that. I wasn't sure just yet because of time frame.jajafar wrote: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.
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.

Re: Touken Ranbu 2016
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).jajafar wrote:Is "the reflecting pool" the Christian Science Centre water area?

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?
