Daisuki, Aniplex, and ACParadise are teaming up for the last major con of the year, New York Comic Con! They have been gracious enough to provide us with a stage and microphones, so we're going to use it to show off how awesome cosplayers are!

Be sure to stop by the Daisuki booth regularly, as we'll be hosting the following gatherings and cosplay events:

1. OPEN COSPLAY GATHERING - Have an awesome costume? Show it off at our open cosplay gathering, where we let you use the stage to show off your costumes, and get some nice photos taken! You can also use the mic to talk about how you made your costume or anything else we should notice. Or if you're shy, you can just get up there and strike a pose! Open to any series - whether it be a videogame, manga, comic, movie, an awesome costume is an awesome costume and deserves to be shown off!

2. MAGI GATHERING - The new season of Magi is airing now, and we're hoping that Magi cosplayers will turn up at the Daisuki booth to show their support! Things are only going to get more epic for our characters this season, so we hope to see some great costumes to match!

3. ATTACK ON TITAN RALLY - Attack on Titan has taken both Japanese and American fans by storm, and now that the TV broadcast has ended, we're hoping to give it one last hurrah by having all Attack on Titan cosplayers gather at the Daisuki booth. If you missed out on our troop rallies at Anime Expo and Otakon, now's your chance to show your dedication to killing Titans! All Attack on Titan cosplays welcome, even Titans! (Safety not guaranteed)

4. DANGANRONPA GATHERING - Upupupu, all Super High School Level cosplayers report in! Danganronpa has proven to be a great game and anime, and the character designs have been a hit with cosplayers as well. So if you have a Danganronpa costume, we want to show it off at the Daisuki booth. There might even be some prizes involved - just don't kill anyone for them!

5. SWORD ART ONLINE GATHERING - Having been shown online and now on Cartoon Network, there's barely a person who hasn't heard of Sword Art Online by now. We'll be hosting a gathering for all Sword Art Online cosplayers, and Aniplex has even offered some prizes to give out to cosplayers, so we hope to see all SAO fans there!

6. ONE PIECE GATHERING - Would you believe that ACParadise has yet to host an official One Piece gathering? Now that it's airing on Daisuki, and we have a lovely stage to work with, let's take advantage of that and get as many One Piece cosplayers to show up!
