A thread for all you Canadian seagulls. Here's a list of upcoming cons, copy pasted from the last thread:

Otafest - May 17-19
Anime North - May 24-26

Animethon - August 9-11
Anirevo Summer - August 9-11
Otakuthon - August 16-18

the best part about IFF was the original art. I was really disappointed at the lack of manga vendors. I'm not canadian-- are doujinshi not allowed in canada or something? I didnt see any

>> No.10155384

>>10155380
They are allowed (as long as no stuff like loli) but I don’t think there is a reason for the con to compete with TCAF. It already has a hold on the indep comic market in the gta and is reaching out to known Japanese artists like Inio Asano and Junji Ito. For legal reasons you need to have guests who can legally sell their goods overseas so they are only going to get big names that have publishing contracts anyways, so you won’t see comiket stuff regardless.

Cosplay is good at Otakuthon! It’s a good venue for photoshoots- much better than AN’s. The cosplay might not be as elaborate as AN’s and you see some cosplays being recycled from AN, but I would say a lot less people in casual clothing at Otakuthon.

This whole new 'stand and wait five seconds while a volunteer awkwardly tries scanning your badge' system for Calgary Expo passes is going to be hilariously disasterous. Even on glorified sneak-peak day there were backlog lineups being formed because the scanning was way too slow, it's going to be an utter clusterfuck when the serious crowds turn up and the weather is expected to deteriorate.

What's even the point? It's not like they're verifying your identity when they scan your pass. Half the time I was scanned they couldn't get it to work and just waved me through after a few seconds anyway, so if it's a crowd-tracking thing it seems to be doing an iffy job of that too.

the organizers are obviously skimming money now. It sucks because last time I checked AN had record numbers in attendees, even though it's not very expensive to organize and the panels suck.

pretty much the whole experience besides the shitty panels and the dealers room. So like, photo shoots, gawking at costumes, the tent booth outside the convention center that sells kigurumi's and other stuff, room parties, etc.
The delta even tried to limit who could get upstairs to room key holders one year to try and keep the over packed room parties to a minimum. I think it was still called the doubletree back then, but the rule was tossed out the next year because the security at the elevators had no chance and there were far too many complaints.
And the outdoor rave is another big attraction for people who just go to drink and party, you can get in easily if you have a friend to slip you their pass through the fence.
All in all, it's going to keep being this way unless some serious detriments for lobbyconning are put in place. Scan-able wrist bands would be a good start, the kind that break if you try and cut them off, doubled with self scanning in/out gates everywhere and better line procedure.

People organize cosplay picnics for free all the time.

If AN wanted people to buy their badges they'd get better guests and host better panels. Currently they're not incentivizing anyone to spend money on their awfully organized event.

I'm not advocating for sneaking into panels or the TCC. It's better if people don't go inside so the organizers see how empty it is and start to realize how fucking garbage this event is.

AN organizers don't make the experience. The people that show up and cosplay make the experience. They're not getting paid to be there.

Yes, and people make free movies on YouTube as well. Doesn't mean that if someone makes one with a much larger budget and effort that needs to be spread across hundreds of people, it should still be free.

Most of the people show up because of the organizers efforts. That's the point here. It's not the ones too cheap or poor to buy badges that contribute to the experience anyway.

>> No.10165173

>>10165148
People show up because at one point the con experience was going to panels to discuss anime with other like minded people. Meeting your favourite voice actor from your favourite anime. Buying bootleg anime dvd's and figures from the dealers room.

The cosplay was just a bonus of those efforts.

Now the panels are all trash, the guests suck, and now people are wise to the counterfeit goods in the dealer's alley. The stuff that is legit you can get for cheaper online anyway.

AN organizers only have to announce a date and people will show up. Everyone seems to agree that they're not providing the things I listed above anymore. So now we're supposed to pay because people work their asses off and spend their own hard earned money to make cosplays? It sounds like AN should be paying the cosplayers for all the effort they're putting in since that seems to be what is drawing so many of these "freeloaders".

Nah let's put up a fence to stop the "freeloaders" from coming. They're the ones ruining the con experience.

Ive been going for over a decade and I still dont have any con friends that I didnt go to highschool with. It comes down to either making your own scene comprised of friends and friends of friends that are all into tue same shit, or wedging your way into an existing crowd because you click with the core memebers. And for all the time anime nerds spend looking down on stuff like frats and country clubs, groups at cons are pretty much the same kind of social club ideology. Usually you get vetted by a person you meet randomly then they bring you in for a trial run to see if the rest of the group likes you. If they don't, you'll know it. If they do, you'll be golden for years to come, but there's always a social hierarchy. Best to set up your own scene/room parties, it might require more effort but you'll be at the core group with your friends and be able to pass judgement on people trying to wedge thier way in for social gains.

I came here to talk aboot it.

Going all weekend. Got a hotel for myself and everything. Stealing the work camera too. If someone genuinely wanted to take advantage of the resource, it's a Nikon D3300. No expert here, but I'm not selling anything, just want to take pictures of cool costumes.
Will be dressed as Agent Smith, and Golden Boy.

I wish I had the confidence and photogenic qualities to cosplay again. It was different when I was a teenager, but now I have a certain level of expectation that I know I'll never be able to live up to. Plus, there aren't many characters that I'd fit the profile for facially, hope getting fit will fix that. I kind of really want to cosplay Araragi but I'd need to have someone cosplaying one of the girls for people to get it. Otherwise I'd just be a gloomy looking guy with a cowlick.

Better panels, better guests, HUGE dealers room and artists alley, more to look at than just anime stuff. Its also developed a mini games show inside itself that has demos set up. There's a tattoo booth, huge comic dealers section, LARP tryouts and a whole lot of other stuff. That being said, it's not a "party" con. Room parties may happen, but in the years that they've tried to set up stuff like j-dances the organization for it has become lackluster at best, meaning attendance has gone way down. It's a con to go get pricey celebrity autographs and buy useless nerd junk.

Do you like spending money? Do you love spending money? Then it's the place for you.
Honestly they get all the big name guests, like actors, voice actors, and there's tons and tons of stuff to do, it's just 1, expensive, and 2, immensely crowded. If you're fine with either and you're there to spend money and see guests, then it's pretty good I think.
I usually go for a day if there's a guest I want to see and that's it.

Yeah that was me at Rosso. Hilariously the straw didn't even fucking reach my mouth anyway so I just had to take it off to drink. Need to get myself a big bendy straw or something next time.

Also I definitely agree that it's a lot more fun than CCEE lately. CCEE is getting too big for it's britches and way too hyperfocused on capeshit I think. It's not... the worst I guess but it's certainly lost a lot of its soul and the social aspect of a good con is basically not there anymore because of how crowded and "overproduced" it is.

Dealers' room is barely a priority. The main thing you want to check out is the Artists' Alley. Just rows and rows of amazing Anime art for sale.
You can take note of stuff you like in the Dealers' room and quickly check Google, Ebay, Alibaba or something like that.
On Friday they do a thing that's basically like a fleamarket. Go there. The last hour (or more like last 30mins? can't remember) people offer huge discounts because they don't want to take the stuff they brought home with them. There's often discounts on Sunday on stuff in the Artist Alley too.

Bit of research says it was bought by Informa in 2018. Though I think it was getting super commercialized before then. Did notice a growing amount of unrelated vendors last couple of years. Selling phone shit, insoles, etc.

Wew thanks, been looking for photos of myself basically all week.

Interesting about the comic expo though. I also remember it getting overcommercialized way earlier though. Last time I remember going and enjoying it for more than a glorified merch store is like 2014 maybe. I've even been seeing less and less non-professional cosplayers over the years, although maybe that's just me.

Also sucks about the ramen bar but I ended up just fucking off to Fusion with some friends anyway instead. Pretty sure the lack of cosplayers outside on Sunday was also because there were a bunch of cosplay events and a bunch of the prolific ones were hanging out inside trying to get votes for the contest

Yeah, I vaguely remember it going downhill in that way. I'd say right around when JNigri was brought in, and cosplay guests became a thing up here. Seemed like only 10-20 percent of people were even costumed the Saturday I went this year.
