Akon has been one of the worst cons in Texas to go to for years now. My first Akon was 20 and even that one was terrible. Afest on the other hand just gets better every year. Last year was incredible and I don't doubt this year will be great either. Though honestly just listen to >>8385092 and go to San Japan. Probably the best con in Texas for a while now.

CLOSING TIIIIIME...

Not any fucking more.

Kek.

Wait...Chris Cruz as in "the guy who had a petition made of him to get him banned from every convention" Chris Cruz? I didn't think it was that bad. Damn.
>>8383064
Congratulations. That's a small trophy though. I remember them being bigger.

>>8381897
At least they did it kindly.

>all these complaints
>it's only day 0

The tradition continues.

Everyone just finds a spot, lays out their shit and hope people come check their spot out. I always find at least one or two good things when I go.

>it would hurt both cons
Not unless they adjust to the situation (lower ticket prices, better guests, etc.). Better guests being a battle that Akon will lose by default.

>>8366238
I didn't think you did.

>>8363432
Beautiful.

>>8363335
Oh look, an anon with sense.

I have a couple of new cosplays done so might as well wear them at Akon. I'm mainly going for the English voice actors.

Why would I be banned from A-Kon if I haven't willingly gone for two years now? I could walk in this year and nothing would happen. Besides, A-Kon isn't even worth paying for unless you love meeting cosplayers and taking photo shoots.
>>8362971
Kek. If I was banned they need to remove "competition" from the name and call it "Anime idol singing hugfest".

>>8359153
Just go to Afest and San Japan. Everyone else is pure garbage.

>>8351526
A-Kon doesn't deserve a cent until they start having shit worth going to. I'm literally going one day to get my anime signed.

>>8350643
You're gonna carry that weight.

>>8350345
You got us.

>>8334177
ANN confirms.

I would go see both considering Gene and Paul are on their last leg and MomoClo is on fire in popularity so now is the perfect time to see them.

>email is a mess
>no one knows about their panels
And more people still go to this shithole of a con every year.

>>8262328
>just met
Unless you live in west Texas, which god bless you if you do, you didn't meet me.

It was alright.

>>8229615
We'll see, Cowbro.

+ Teddyloid rave
+ Anna Tsuchiya. Please bring her back. She's incredible.
+ Trigger in general
+ Stephanie Sheh and Luci Christian were really nice. 2/3 of my Nerima Daikon set is now signed.
+ LOTS of Love Live cosplay. Loved it.
+ Hunter x Hunter actually having a presence this year in cosplay


- Not much to buy in Dealer's Room unless you're a first timer and haven't bought everything already being sold.
- Teddyloid's autograph line. I loved that it was short, but for it to be Teddyloid and only 20 people at the most lined up for it, I was kind of sad.
- The LWA2 preview was 3 seconds of new material
- You had to have Trigger put a name on the autographs. Are they that worried about somebody re-selling their shit?
- The English VA's autograph tickets were barely mentioned two days before the con.
- Panels were late, but I didn't notice so not too bad.
- I have no clue why the Pajanime party was 18+ if the most lewd thing we did was squats during Simon Says.
- /pol/ needs to fuck off and stay off.

Overall, very well done for my first AM and I hope to return next year.

Had a great time at Matsuri. I can't wait for the faggots who didn't get their way to complain and shitpost on the Facebook group. Hopefully I'll see you guys at San Japan unless I get really desperate and just go to A-Kon.

How bad was it? Could I have killed everyone?
