>for the premierfags, you miss being a premierfag this year?
NA
>damage report on your bank account? On a scale from financially fucked to your wallet got sexually assaulted
On merch I only broke about $450, food on the other hand cost me well over $1,000. Not my intention. Deffinetly not eating out every night and paying for my friends dinner on the way next year.
>were LA residents who made the mistake of working at housekeeping a nuisance to you?
No, I stayed at an AirBnb and the most I was around them was talking down DTLA and hearing them make noise and shit.
>your spoils of war. Pictures are encouraged but optional
Picrel
>pros of this year
*People were awesome, Westin was fun, walking with anons was fun, meetups were great all around. Highlight of my trip
*Artist Alley was pretty good
*That one giant doujinshi stand at the 18+ area was good
*The acrade in the Entertainment Hall was very fun, $15 for a day pass and they had SF2, DDR, and a bunch of other fun stuff. Deffinetly worth it
*TRIGGER panels always great
*Mega64 panel was fun
>cons of this year
*Crowds, crowds
*Meetups were kinda dry first day or two but that was most likely my fault
*Some minor drama in my group I went with, just stupid bickering
*Exhibit Hall was pretty ass, non of the reseller booths had anything I cared for, outside of CDs and the like.
*FUCK. WALKING. IN. LA.
>what needs to be fixed but won’t because AX only cares about profits?
I'm not qualified but as an autistic manchild I can say that their either needs to be a lower cap on the amount of attendees or something to help with crowds.
>will you be coming back to AX 2024?
Yes! Hope to see you guys there.
>you going to Totally Not Anime Los Angeles 2023?
LA is a journey and I'm a poorfag so nope, I only go to AX as my "big-con" outside of SacAnime because thats close and a lot more lowkey.

Loved all of you guys this year, will probably shove the /cgl/ Discord into my folder and forget about it until next year. Cheers!
