Kuroshitsuji Panel 2011?

[SapphireChaos]

Hey guys
I am thinking (as long as I am able to attend ASTL this year) of running a Kuroshitsuji panel and I wanted to know who would be interested and what people would like to see in it. I was planning that it would mostly be an open-discussion kind of panel with the audience bringing up topics which they would like to discuss (plot, favorite characters, etc.) and maybe have some trivia and such.

I have never run a panel before so I could really use some tips and input ^^;;

YOU'RE thinking of running a panel, missy? This is our conjoined idea! XDD Hahaha, so yes, Ciel here, and we've had this idea for a while to run a Kuroshitsuji panel. I'd also love it if we could add in some extra fun interactive stuff, like maybe some music and dancing(if I don't trip over my own midget feet >w>) and such. Yeah, stuff like that. So, suggestions, anyone? =33 This sounds like it would be very fun to do, so I'd like some opinions from everyone on this idea. =D

[SapphireChaos]

Um, anybody?

[Viz-Kei-Boi]

I think this is a great idea and I'm sure you'll have plenty of people interested in attending due to the popularity of the show/manga.
As for opinions I think having an open discussion is great. You might think of doing some games as well though to keep things fun instead of just a bunch of boring talk.

I think its would be pretty cool for you to do a Kuroshitsuji panel, I myself have just recently became a fan and I love the anime and by looking at the forums on here a good number of people will be cosplaying from that series this year, so that panel room should fill up no problem .

As for opinions, I think a basic overview of the show would be a great starter (plot & characters).Maybe Trivia games to get the audience involved & if you want to take this a step further you can hand out some prizes to winners of the trivia game. As for discussion maybe have a Alois vs Ciel and/or Sebastian vs Claude debate (this could be interesting, like compare and contrast the characters, or just hear the opinions of the audience as to who they think is better & why).

Music could be included I guess, maybe before the panel starts & as everyone is walking in you could play the opening theme songs of the series.

umm and thats all I got for you, I hope I helped out in someway, & if you are doing this panel I cant wait to see it

Thank you so much for your input tabetha2010 and Viz-Kei-Boi ^^

I think a gerneral discussion would be fun for this panel, but like others have stated, not for the entire time.
Also, games would be very fun!
I think there should be a debate of some sort. (A good idea for a debate could be about the new English Dub coming out soon *wink wink*) Also, some random ones like; 'Which character is sexier?' or 'Who would make the best president?' ...Something along those lines. That would make for some interesting converstation.
Either way, I am definatly attending this panel!!

@viz-Kei-Boi: That's what I was thinking. Discussion is good, but games are always fun. ^^ I know when I'm at a panel, I like getting involved in it, not just watching it. xD

tabetha2010: We planned on including some sort of trivia, and we are going to have prizes, I believe. ^^ (Psst, btw, my lovely Finny(xD), I think I have a great idea for them.) And I think a little music would be a very nice touch; I'll probably just cut a CD or have Itunes up on a laptop to play some nice music. The OST has some wonderfully delicate songs that I can use that WON'T disturb everyone while we are trying to speak. xDDD

youngearl: I love the Eng. Dub idea. Hopefully we won't step on too many toes. xD But I think it needs to be discussed. And I do love those random questions of yours! <3 That's a very good idea, I'll have to hold onto that one, thanks. ^^

Thanks so much for all of your lovely advice! We will be working hard to make this a panel that stands out from other Kuroshitsuji panels. ^^

Oh, one more thing; if the convention center allows food(which, it probably won't again, but still), do you think it would be appropriate to bring some little sweets for everyone? Nothing to get the room all messy, but just some tiny little treats like cookies or candy? xD

[tabetha2010]

I think the cookies and candy Idea would be pretty nice, At the end of the panel maybe pass them out then or whenever you choose to.... I think it would quite nice to see several Ciel's enjoying sweets @ a kuroshitsuji panel, considering he's always eating something sweet in the anime, It would make my inner Fangirl quite happy XD

[narusasu21]

i think this would be a great idea!!!!! me and my friends are planning on cosplaying Kuroshitsuji on Sunday and would love to come in cosplay!!!!!! If need any help or more people for the panel let me know. me and my friends are willing to help if need be!!!!!
Oh and for a dicussion we could talk about the characters voice actors on some which was good and some bad and how the plot was really well put together. ive never been in a panel before and would like to try this if you would want more people. just let us know and i will talk with my gang ok? Thanks!!!! *hugs*

[Findabarr]

Awesome! I hope I can get my Ciel cosplay done by then

[SapphireChaos]

ALRIGHT EVERYONE!

Just so you know our panel, "One Hell of a Panel", was accepted for Friday at 8:00pm in Ballroom D

[pikachusweetie]

This is so exciting~! I hope you all can attend! I'll be wearing this outfit at the panel; hopefully you'll be able to notice the shorty. xDD (Apologize for crappy camera quality.)

Be sure to bombard us with some more brilliant ideas before the con! We're still taking suggestions, and we want those of you who are coming to our panel to suggest stuff! xDDD Thanks!
