>Is anyone here going to be at Toko? Taking any costumes or just going for a chill weekend?
Still not sure what costume to take, and it's tomorrow...

>>8551242
Don't worry, I'm pretty sure that just means you're normal. I'm like that at pretty much every event
I'm still a bit Salty about Toko because someone else booked that weekend off so I couldn't do the same. Now they've cancelled the holiday request but it's too late for me to arrange travel/accom/everything. I still haven't been but I've heard it's great

>>8551242
Me neither so I've just packed a couple of indestructible/comfortable ones alongside the big fancy one that I agreed to do with a mate that I'm now regretting. As much as I want to wear it, if it gets muddy it'll be a pain in the arse to deal with. Hers is white though, so small mercies.

>yellow weather warning for toko
hahahahaha oh fuck

Just a reminder that there is a yellow weather warning in place for toko.
Pack your waterproof clothing as today and tomorrow are gonna be wet. Torrential rain, hail ans lightning are very likely

>>8551257
>>8551263
Nonononono please don't
All I pray for is a camping trip that doesn't have fucking rain, and this happens

>>8551419
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2647097#weather-warnings

>>8551249
Accomodation is still available here http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3075331.htm

>>8551419
honestly it's Kita's fault and I'm mad. Every year I've been to Toko, it's been at the start of August, and the weather has been gorgeous. Kita moves to that weekend, BOOM, Toko gets a weekend with shitty weather. Thanks Kita, you cunts. And it's gonna be on this weekend every year now probably, so no more sunny Toko. Mid-August weather is nearly always shit.

>>8551426

>>8551424
Lmao yeah I guess 'accom' was a poor choice of word! 'Gear' probably would be more appropriate, having not been to Toko I wasn't really thinking straight. Though you have gotten me looking at prices of camping gear online, good going anon...

>>8551557
Why not just get a TokoTent? I don't think it's too late.

>>8551168
>What do we think of this year so far in terms of quality?
Really unimpressive. Nobody has done anything that will be remembered by the start of next season.

>Any 'trends' in the UK Scene that you wish would die already?
Begging on Twitch and Patreon to fund a hobby and not have to work/avoid the shame of going on the dole.

>>8551836
Really? I think some of the LSCC stuff was good quality back in march

>>8551836
I agree. Bar competition winners, nothing has really stood out so far. There have been good-ish groups but no standalone person or costume worth mentioning so far. It seems a lot of the talked about cosplayers have either slowed down or are making simpler costumes at the moment.

>>8551421

Sonofabitch. I got soaked just going out for lunch today.

What time is it recommended to arrive for Toko. Its my first year. I know its open from noon but I read there's an opening ceremony.

Can we talk about people we've not mentioned before

>>8551938
Like who ?

dose Chiquita even go to cons any more ?

There's the Glasgow MCM Expo in September too, I'll be going to that.

>>8551840
Yeah but 80% of that comp is from mainland Europe so it's hardly UK cosplay.

>>8551949
She's judging Sailor Moon cosplayers for AnimeLeague at some meet up in Hyde Park on Saturday.

>>8551969
dose she go to cons shes not guesting at, i just dont see her very active any more, and ive not seen her make anything intresting in a long time

>>8551938
Holly is so up every togs ass is embarrassing

>>8551938
Throw up some names? If I've heard of them I'll give you my opinion since I'm bored as heck

>>8551836
I saw some entertaining cosplays but they were clearly bought or not well-made, which is a shame.

>>8551990
I want to hear some dirt on the Disney crew, Bex and Mika and some other princess party girls.

>>8551990
Hollita
Catlin
Vwolf
Kyahri
Emmalangleysoryu
alianqueen
Smallfry
Kyokyo
Misty cosplay
Isamiaella
Emi zone
Akwa
Kishi

>>8551997
Whos bex? *looks up on fb, oh wait that girl *rolls eyes.

>>8552006
>alienqueen.
Confirmed for shit taste

>>8552006
Hollita is CONSTANTLY mentioned here.
Same with Alienqueen.
I do really like Smallfry, Catlin and Kyokyo's work. Also Sian Kitteh

>>8551982
But so far up her own that she just sees shit and treats people like shit.

>>8552030
ive never her holly mentioned

>>8552031
shes so desperate

>>8552041
You think with all the money her dad gives her she would have brought someone to make her stuff for her. Or at least clean up.
Shot with her once and spent an hour editing out un-ironed creases and loose threads.

>>8552031
Says people whole sell prints should get a "real" job, live of daddy's money, starts selling prints.

>>8552048
She would be alright is she didn't have such a shit mentality about people

>>8552006
New to the UK Cosplay scene,

I will take this list and search them... Just so I start learning who everyone "efamous" is

>>8552059
Shes acts so popular every time i saw her at kita she was by her self.

>>8552048
I wish someone would show her how to style a wig. Every cosplay of hers has a poorly styled or not styled at all wig. It's depressing.

>>8552006
Im jealous of Catlin's face not gona lie

>>8552072
This, it all looks like it came straight out the bag.

>>8552078
Her Honey Lemon wig makes me sad and her Ariel wig... Why does she let a shitty looking wig ruin what are otherwise great cosplays?

>>8552078
Her Makeup is basic to, all the same.

>>8552084
She need a bigger and more volume wig, and some red lipstick, she looked so plain.

>>8552066
This is true. Even when she was in "group" costumes. When she was with people she was stood on the edge and everyone was ignoring her when she talked. She's got the mild efame but I don't think she's actually that popular with people.

>>8552006
What even is Akwa

>>8552074
She's like Taylor Swift and Natalie Dormer combined. I'm jelly.

Also want her measurements.

>>8552103
Shes always hanging out with togs, and they look weird there all like middle aged men,

>>8552107
shes stunning so is emi

>>8552048
Trys to guess what tog this is

>>8551997
Who?

Can we include pics with posts? Like best and/or worst of named?

>>8551997
They all have really bad smack habits

>>8552107
Those Elf pictures she took the other day are just stunning

>>8552048

Lol hi circlejerk

Bex is the one who sleeps around right?

Despite the rain, the tokonatsu site is in pretty good shape.

>>8552115
Argh no her up turned nose looks like a pig

TOKO

SOON
O
O
N

>>8553513
I'm already there. There's a lot set up so far actually.
The guys in ops were saying people turned up who didn't buy early bird and they let them in anyway. Most didn't even need to pay the extra.

Saw a girl doing the walk of shame while wrapped in a union jack earlier this morning. Toko has officially started.

Does anyone wish CosplayIsland was still something people used? It was so organised...rather than the clusterfuck of fb groups we've got going.

>>8553619
Nah anon, I wish it was still used too. A lot of my friends still use it but not as often as Facebook etc. It was so easy to work with

>>8552103
Who?

>>8553619
I wish this to. I rarely use the forums these days as everyone uses Facebook for groups or cosplay/wig selling posts. I keep putting up cosplay plans but hardly anyone comments on each other's plans as much as we all used to. Now it's all about Facebook likes

>>8553623
It amuses me all these people freaking out over apps that let them calculate how much each cosplay will cost when CI has had that feature for at least 5 years.

>>8553646
Yeah, but CosplayIsland isn't easily accessible on your phone like an app is

>>8552048
I shot with her. Never again. Rude and unprofessional and didn't take my difection so the shots were unuseable. I'm usually more selective with who I shoot but I thought I would give her a chance but it was a waste of my time.

So is anyone going to the last AutoAssembly next weekend?

Hollita's one of the nicest people I met at a convention, people need to stop being so salty.

>>8553991
hi holly.

>>8553991
She's a spoilt brat. Completely intolerable.

Decided against my better judgement to come on here, read the comments and try to nip it in the bud, especially since I'm concerned for people trying to defend my ass now.

As I posted on Facebook if you have issue with me do it in person or on messenger with your face to it, if you dislike me that much it'd be beneficial because I'm the type to try and avoid people I know loath me.

As for being popular, I've never considered myself to be, I'm an outspoken bitchy type, it's who I am and that doesn't attract a lot of friends, as for being alone, at kita especially I spent a lot of time trying to find people, the people I'm friends with run in different circles, not to mention I get burned out by being in close proximity to people for extended amounts of time, I'm a bit of a loner and that's how I'll always be.

As for my wig game/makeup game/costume game, I'm not a professional, I'm lazy, I rush and I do need to improve... But Meh, it's just a hobby to me.
As for the selling of prints, I was asked by NEO to sign prints last MCM, I didn't turn them down because I thought if I did itd be missing out on an opportunity, the selling prints thing I still find uncomfortable and I have too many spare, I think if I'm asked to do signing again I'll just give them away

As for being up tog's asses... when I joined the cos scene properly they were the first people I met, I don't ditch people I've made friends with if I've got no reason to. And I won't deny, no matter how shit my costumes are most of them I do want to have photos of, usually I try and work with plenty of togs per costume because my modelling isn't great, usually shots come out crap because of me, so that's how it is.

For salty togs to my knowledge I've never been deliberately rude to anyone on a shoot, but if I have I'm very sorry, but once again, message me about it before ranting about it on anon.

I could go on, but I know the vendetta here against me is strong, and word count is running out

>>8554002
Seen her at loads of cons and everyone is always saying what a cunt she is and have heard the spoiled thing from some of the people she hangs around with. It's a shame you get these people at cons as it's just not good for the community.

>>8554218
>lone wolf is lonely and aware people loath her.
>neo asked me to sign prints. This is a hobby to me, I'm lazy and unprofessional, its just a hobby. I can't sell prints
>even though though I shoot with lots of togs regularly I have never learnt how to pose.

>>8554230
I wish you posted this earlier as I just had to read all that shit from hollibrat

>>8553619
I wish CI was still popular, it's my favourite site for uploading cosplays and pictures as it's the easiest to use.

>>8554230
I find it quite odd that when she entered the cos scene togs were the first people she met. When I entered, and most of my friends, it took a good while to learn about shoots and whatnot, and make tog friends. Maybe that's just me, though.

>>8554270
Not just you. Lots of people noticed the exact same thing.

This whole thread.
so much vendetta, no actual goss

What is this secret cinema thing, I want in

>>8554336
>Family Guy image

you're the only gross person in this thread

>>8551426
Kita's moved again now. They announced it'll be in April again.

>>8554336

be circlejerk, that's how you in

>>8554358
>>8554336
Or fucking Google it moron.

>>8554361
Is it really 80 quid to watch a movie I could just sit at home and watch or am i reading it wrong?

>>8554354
Kita and Ame are alternating Spring/Summer slots. 2017 Kita will be the Summer Event again

>>8552090
This interests me
Cosplayers in the UK scene who have good makeup, off the top of my head can't think of any

Maybe Ross?

>>8554354
Has where it's moved to been announced? The closing ceremony said the Hilton again for next April?

>>8554495
Sorry, I meant date not physical location. They haven't said anything since the closing ceremony about that.

>>8554470
Ross's makeup is shit sorry. His Ursula was the only good quality one.

>>8554470
I think one of the beths is a professional mua?

>>8554503
So it's not April 1st-3rd anymore?

>>8554470
Ross is good but I do think he can over do it occasionally - but normally on fb or test photos.

I always like Ragemore's make-up, but I think she's also just pretty. I think Alias cosplay's eight eyes were pretty good, and I like that she changes it up for different characters. I love Teacup_Erinyes' make-up, her bodypaint for that Monster High character looked good, but I love her anyway. That girl who does Elizabeth from Infinite with her boyfriend - his weathering/bloodied up make-up is fantastic. I think TigerLily is good when she puts the effort in. I think we have more people who don't try than people who try too hard with make-up.

>>8554558
Teacup is adorable she always looks youthful.
You're right about Ross but those makeup tests are just for fun and I don't think he'd ever wear it out especially the blackface stuff.
The Booker is good but there are better Elizabeth's. That girls face just doesn't suit.
Catlin has good makeup. Its never too much.

though none of them do anime makeup and that's a different ballpark.

>>8554613
I genuinely don't think I know anyone who does really good anime make-up in the scene over here.

Who are the worst offenders for bad make-up?
>inb4 pokemon-related she who will not be named

>>8554470
Sands does good make up she actually does it to suit each character and change her face shape
I like tigerlilys as its never too much but her face is already so sharp it's quite hard to pull off cuter characters.

>>8554470
Sian kitteh does good cell shaded makeup

>>8554633
I agree about sands, however I'm not a fan of her Cassandra makeup

>>8554622
Who was that girl from the UK comm who was being posted all over the bad makeup threads about LSCC time

>>8554774
I liked it she did all the collodion scars but she's always smiling loads at conventions so it breaks the look of the character

>>8554558
Alias' 8 eyes were pretty good. Its a shame she has the same dour expression in all of her cosplays.

>>8554622
I can't think of many bad make up jobs but mostly it's that a lot of UK cosplayers just don't seem to bother properly which really can detract from a good costume. Annoyingly cant think of decent examples right now.

>>8554920

What pokemon?

For the people stuck with hotel rooms at Collidacon (100% cancellation charge at any time from the time reservation is made) you can do some plane spotting at Heathrow or get drunk at the bar.

>>8554633
Sands and Tigerlily have the advantage that they're naturally model-pretty. I do think they do a great job with their make up, too, but I think a lot of it with them comes down to the fact they're both so good looking to begin with. They can put on totally plain everyday make up in 10 minutes and they'll look more pro than someone uglier who spends three hours doing it. They're both awesome but them looking good should not be surprising or noteworthy in any regard.

>>8555087
THIS. All the This.

>>8555064
A friend of mine was able to completely cancel the Collidacon room they had with no charges. Hotel basically said because the rooms were booked at Collidacon rate and Collidacon is no longer running then the cancellation is free. If you booked a normal room you're probably fucked though.

As for the anon further up asking about Kitacon, so far it's still confirmed for 1-3 April 2016 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole. No word on Reg opening yet though I don't think?

>>8555156
Did they give the exact date at the closing ceremony? This is the first I've heard of day. I want to get bookings sorted but their website is a piece of piss as always.

>>8555171
Yeah that's where I got it from, the website is a placeholder during thier post-con 'downtime' and they basically said keep an eye on FB/Twitter for announcements when the site is back up and when Reg is opening.
There'll be 800 places if I remember properly, and 100 of those are VIP

>>8555171
Also, (sorry for double post!) they've already bulk booked the rooms they'll use for the Kitacon Rates, which is why those dates are already unavailable for the most part

>>8554558
Can people post photos, I don't know who half these people are

>>8555786
Just google/Facebook them dude everyone's mentioned their names

>>8555087
>model-pretty
top kek

you're only saying that because you know other anons will agree with you, because they're not hated on this board

Got bored of everyone asking who people was, though to be fair, I don't know who Sands is. I probably would recognise them though.

1. Chiquitita
2. Ross
3. Ragemore
4. Alias
5. Teacup_Erinyes
6. TigerLily
7. Catlin
8. Sian K1tt3h

>>8556314
Sands is Laura Sindall.

>>8556445
Tabby needs to stop letting this guy do this shit with her

He's just milking her, i have lost all respect for her for doing what shes doing.

cont...which also runs down the lines, i will never ask Artyfakes to do any of my commissions either.

>>8556661
They're a rip off, made the mistake of using them a while ago

>>8556300
No, I'm saying it because they give me boners. What would be the purpose of saying something positive "because you know other anons will agree with you" when I am, myself, anonymous? There is nothing to be gained. I would gladly roger them both silly. That is the simple truth.

>>8556445
>>8556581
>>8556652
Fucking hell.

He could use anybody else. Naked Lara Croft has been done a hundred million times. There is nothing about it which requires Tabitha specifically. This is literally just a GWC picking his target and trying to see as much of her crotch as possible whilst making a bit of money off it on the side.

Please, if anybody reading these threads is actually close to Tabby, point out to her how obviously she is being used. Tell her how much more she would get out of it if she did it by herself or at least how much better off she'd be with any reputable photographer who could handle things in a non-shady way. It's cool if she wants to get naked but she should at least be the one to make the money from it.

Her tits are making this hack's career.

>>8556767
He really needs to fucking stop trying to turn cosplayers into his pay per view glamour models. It's so blatant that's his master plan and seems convinced he can get loads of people to pay him money every week.

>>8556767
To be fair though, good for him. If she's stupid enough then who cares.

The guy has no shame with his constant e-begging

Hes posting his fucking cosplay day on all the groups. The guy is making me sick, he wants money for everything he does. Fuck off and use your own money like everyone else.

>>8556767
It's because he knows she has alot of followers and as she recently beomce single, it's his chance to move in and take full advantage of it.

>>8556836
Yeah so like, he's trying to pitch himself as some kind of photography teacher? I get why someone would charge money for that but I don't get why he thinks he's qualified to do it. Professional photographers who have something to teach others don't set up e-begging patreons.

already 2 confirmed! Just needs $4000 every two weeks

>>8556940
The other three will never shoot with him eve if he pays them the 4k directly. Nigri's shoots are vetted by her dad and she only works within a specific group. Vampy doesn't get out of bed for less than a few grand. Yaya strictly pics photographers herself.

It also does not cost four grand, even in dollars, to go to America.

>>8557000
So he wants 8 GRAND A MONTH and has already been making plans for this?

>>8557035
Yes. He wants $8000 (£5200) per month to do _A_ photoshoot each with B-tier cosplayers and he's using A-tier names to sell it even though he has 0 chance of getting them on board and he probably knows it. Which must really rub it in for Tabby. He only wants $500 a month for her tits.

TBH it actually looks as though he thinks Patreon is Kickstarter. Or he really is delusional and up himself enough to believe people will make this a repeat bi-weekly payment.

you have got to be kidding me. Whos really stupid enough to patreon him for that? So hes basically saying, fuck you all uk cosplayers, none of you are good enough for my photos, but pay me to fly us instead.

I want to know how cosplayers feel about this guy and why they still support him when all he wants is money while there are photographers doing it for nothing and returning photos back to the cosplay community.

>>8557130
He really is. He does youtube chats as if he is a big celebrity and it consists of him checking the chat for questions and not getting a single one and then explaining how Patreon works over and over again. He seems to think it is this big tragedy that he has to do composites in his spare time and we should all do a big fund raiser to stop him having to suffer doing non other work where he can't look at boobs.

>>8557164
>I want to know how cosplayers feel about this guy
The fact that Tabs is the only namable cosplayer who's done anything with him more than once should tell you all you need to know

>>8557164
I don't know anyone other than Tabs and that Tasha friend (her only friend) who work with him.

Tokonatsu looks like so much fun this year. I really wish I'd gone now!

>>8557241
Good point, but how do you know hes not even bothered to ask anyone else? Or as mentioned just so he can see tabs boob and profit from them.

>>8557704
It's pretty damn fun

Needs more power sockets in the games tent though

>>8557649
Valentine does

>>8557954
He did one shoot with him over a year ago (the Fallout stuff) that CE is still making images from. I'd say that's a "did", not a "does".

>>8557964
Hi Valentine

>>8557964
>over a year ago (the Fallout stuff) that CE is still making images from
>over a year ago
>still making images from
>a year ago

What the fuck is this guy's workflow?

Was the girl who won the Toko masq the one who was in the Kitacon one? Not that she didn't deserve to win anyway. I'm impressed it survived tenting.

>>8557704
Definetly fun, would recommend for next year especially if it's less rainy.

>>8558560
What won? I didn't see the results.

>>8558589
Miss/Mrs? Kimberly in the blue dress with the wings. Lich king got third and the monster hunter (?) group got second and the elves got best skit.

>>8558589
>>8558620
This one I'm guessing? I've recognised her face now, she won the Toko masq a couple of years ago in her Queen of Heart cosplay.

>>8558626
I wasn't really paying attention but does she wear her cosplay anywhere else round Toko or does she literally just bring it for the trophy?

>tfw no camping cosplay girl dtf

I don't have anything against Ragemore, but her and her kind need to stay the hell away from anime cons like Kita, those stuck up southern cliques of cosplayers only went because it's popular but they stick out like a sore thumb. They don't interact with fans, don't even cosplay from anime. In2thereview shouldn't go to cons like Kita, and Kyoko and her little circlejerk are fucking snooty as anything. The anime scene is friendly and connected and doesn't deserve posers like them who only make friends with other cunts like them.

>>8558952
>Ragemore
>Southern
She lives in Scotland.

And In2 photographed anime, all of the group you mentioned did do 1 anime costume or have in the past. Kyoko and co do anime on the damn regular and are really fucking nice. Also not southern by any count.

>deserve posers like them who only make friends with other cunts like them.
So your friends made friends with them and realised than they're better than you, you salty vendetta-chan.

>>8558958
Yeah the kyokyo and her mates are all from manc

>>8558958
Wasn't kyokyo a judge at Kita? Seemed an odd choice.

>>8559533
She's won a lot of shit

>>8558952
Not from London but AVOID lolain progress, she had a right attitude towards my tog friend who only said hi to her. She treats people as badly as she does to her fans on her page. No room for people like that in the community.

>>8559610
Kyle has a friend. Bless.

>>8559615
Who is Kyle?

>>8559730
Confirmed for new

>>8559610
If your tog friend is Kyle than, yeah, i don't blame her.

>>8559756
Honestly, I've been here a while and I'm not 100% on who he is.
I just know he's a photographer that everyone dislikes because he's a creep.

>>8559554
Yeah her ultemecia is brill

>>8558958
sweetie, don't make it too obvious that you're part of her little circlejerk.
And if you don't see how they only make friends with the same types of people, you're really blind. Being from Manchester or Scotland doesn't prevent you from being part of the southern circlejerks as long as you fit their requirements.

>>8559610
As a humble non-tog con goer I asked her for a photo a couple of years back and she posed for me and was generally nice.

Just sayin

>>8559920
Bait harder. He's been mentioned like every other thread, and hes not a creep, more of a jerk and a dick for pulling shit to get attention which backfired again and again.

>>8558952
>>8559930
I saw a costume that Kyokyo was doing on FB and decided I wanted a picture in person. At MCM I went and said hello. Even though they were in the middle of practicing for the masquerade, they both still took the time to talk to me, let me get some shots of them, and generally have a laugh.

I'm sure she doesn't remember my name or anything but she makes the effort to chat with me every time I say hello. Maybe you are the problem, Anon.

>>8559913
I don't even know who Kyle is

>>8559932
Years ago compared to Kitacon this year....people change.

>>8559946
Kyle from Shades On Productions.

>>8559937
I'm not baiting. I normally come here just to see whats what with cons and stuff. I've never really cared about tog drama.

Who JAGUAR JAGUAR JAGUAR here?

>>8559977
Fair enough, to be honest theres only a few uk togs that have dramu attached to them because they bring it on themselves and the shit they try to pull. Kyle from shades on, lucas, pk snap and recently that creative edge guy. Even then UK is nothing compared to the likes of U.S because they charge, so they throw shit at other photographers for no reason other than for business.

>>8559932
Another non-tog con goer here, tried to tell her I liked her costume, she was sitting with her clique, just looked at me for a second turned to friend, started conversation with them and blanked me. So I also agree with the statement about that circlejerk, they don't interact and she wasn't pleasant.

>>8560041
You're basing your judgement on a huge group of people based on a single interaction with one person? The butthurt is so strong.

>>8560129
No I agree the circle jerk is cliquey.

They all sat around at Kitacon clearly judging people and making jokes.
My friends even overheard them notching about other cosplayers

>>8560172
Who does everyone think this circlejerk is for reference

>>8560172
Is this still about Ragemore's group? I met them for the first time this Kita and found them lovely, really friendly and welcoming and it's not like I'm anybody of note, I wasn't even cosplaying.

so how was toko out of 10?

>>8560196
Organisation was possibly worse than usual if that can be believed. Fucking everything was late. Games tent was a fair bit bigger and better than before. Parties are out, anime cinema is in, they can't run both at the same time because of power issues. Overall I'd give the actual event a 6/10, there were a lot of issues this year that I haven't seen previously, but my weekend at Toko in general was a 10/10 because the people are just fantastic no matter what might go wrong with the event itself.

well there we have it girls lolia is NOT haram

I heard that Amecon's going to have a bara café! Trying to contain my hype because I know and you know that it's just going to be staffed by greasy DYELs who are trying to get laid, but oh, the dream of a decent bara café at a con is so beautiful...

>>8560224
God that was awkward. Just get some stock music.
So she's now done this as a tantrum like "WELL IT WAS MYYYY IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE"
And she's not from Reading, she lived in the midlands until about a month ago.

I don't know how many of you have met this girl but she can only ever talk about herself. No matter what topic, she'll make it about her.

Anyone know of any cosplayers planning on entering the ECG heats at EGX?

>>8556940
Which photographer is this?

So Anime League have Cardiff Anime Con this weekend, They tried to make the locals believe it wasn't run by them, can someone fill them in? i remember seeing someone write "I heard a rumour its run by them" and someone tried to make them believe otherwise :P

>>8558952
Anime cons like Kita who have main guests from Western video games?

What's the name of that superhero photographer who flew to the US for a DC cosplayer photoshoot a couple of years back?

I think he raised money for it on Kickstarter

This is pretty out there, but who here /universityofsouthampton/? Got accepted the other day. Do I join the anime society? Or the Japanese society? Will it just be full of autists?

>>8560360
Am from around there originally, though didn't go to the uni but you could try Minamicon, that's in Southampton so should be some decent people around.

>>8560016
Jaguar best group

>>8560360
I went to UoS a few years ago. General recommendation is go to the anime society for a session or two. Make friends with similarly minded non-weebs. Quit going to anime soc and instead watch anime with your new uni friends in your respective halls rooms. Make friends for life.

Losercon Minami for the first year. Then pay for a full ticket if you decide its worth it. If not, continue Loserconning.

Sup vendetta. I actually follow her page and I've never seen her treat fans badly? I'd love to know what you're talking about, if someone is an asshole to her she tells them off but so do all cosplayers I know? Maybe you got confused with Holita. But nice try kyle

>>8560438
Answers vendetta by trying to start another vendetta? GG

>>8560438
Follow both Lolain and hollita, seen neither be bad to fans both online and in person at a few conventions now

>>8560309
Assume that after all the shitposting on here for LSCC most will be keeping mute.

Heard Ross?
Rumoured Kenny cosplay and Kerry Cosplay

Looking forward to the mess Animeleague's Harrods thing first

>>8560330
Adam Jay. Class A twat.

>>8560467
It's the bad shit that will always stick in people's mind. Both those cosplayers seem to have drama around them.

>>8560523
>Both those cosplayers seem to have drama around them

Top Kek

Most cosplayers seem to have drama around them, half of which only exists in the world of 4chan

>alcon soon

yay

>>8560330
Adam Jay. The shoot was awful and showed everyone what a hack he is

List of UK Cosplayers/photographers
Who are using patreon? besides creative edge, want to know who's sunk that low and should be avoided.

>>8560502
Deets?

Was Tabitha involved in the shoot?

>>8560196
The rain kinda killed day one. Sunburn city on the Saturday and Sunday. There were a lot less games going on this year or they weren't announced clearly. Gophers on the food team were being fucking assholes all week, pushing people who were slightly inside the door and acting like they didn't want to help anyone.

what the fuck is this

>>8560633
Hilarious, that's what.

>>8560633
>>8560636

Are they just gonna meet there and congregate or is this booked up for the event? Christ either way it's embarrassing.

>>8560633
Dear god....what on earth did they pitch to Harrod's to let them through the door? It's not like it's going to bring them any business...

Although if this takes place in the kid's department perhaps they'll be able to pass it off to their usual clientele.

Fuck this just seems embarrassing.

>>8560655
One of the organisers claims that they have permission to be there. What sane Harrods employee would grant such permission remains a mystery.

>>8560655
Read the page, I think someone in AL works their so it's all being organized with help from Harrords management.

>>8560655
The even says they're meeting at a station and then going en masse.

>>8560659
>>8560661
Maybe they said it would be an 'opportunity' for a bunch of autistic kids to see Harrods and they took pity.

>>8560560
No one else...Only creative edge. Read between the lines of what he does and you will see it all leads to him begging people to Patreon him.

>>8560661
>>8560659

Thanks Anons but that doesn't really answer my question. Is it going to be at the same time as random tourists browsing is what I'm wondering. Nowhere mentions that, but I suppose they wouldn't close on a Saturday in summer just for Animeleague.

Harrods isn't just fancy. There are single shoes in there worth more than a months' wages for me. It's high-end stuff. I couldn't imagine the embarrassment of being associated with weebs there. And it's not like the kids section is empty and breezy; it's almost always packed.

I pity the people at the YooMoo froyo stand. They'll be mobbed.

>>8560670
We should all support great artists like Andrew Dobbell of Creative Edge to create his art

>>8560625
They really need some proper loudspeakers or something around the camp to get the word around. And, you know, actually run their events on time (food being served 2 hours after it was meant to etc.)

>>8560840
Tabby has lowered herself down a few notches working with someone like him whos in it for a quick buck. Once hes done using her he will move onto someone else.

>>8560863
I can't see anyone else working with him really. He's so blatantly just begging all the time and trying to get girls to do naked shoots for his patreon.

Shit is going down all over my fb about this harrods meet. People are getting legitimately angry about how people might 'perceive' cosplay after this.

IMO, in harrods it's contained at least. Better than in a random park like last weekend.

Still a fucking terrible idea.

>>8561004
There's cosplay meets in London almost everyday. Not gonna change shite.

>>8561004
I just can't see that they've been honest with Harrods about what is going to go down. This seems so far beneath anything they'd usually allow?

Fuck what anyone thinks of cosplay. I'm more worried what people would think of Harrods.

You wanna be anime weeb wierd, go do it in a park where you're relatively harmless and might get nice photos against a bush. But fuck off from the legitimately nice places UK is still respected for.

So Michael Towers is doing Cosplay events in Harrods now?

>>8561140
Slimy shit does events everywhere. If there's a gap in the calender he'll fill it with one of his shitty events. The only reason he didn't move in on Warwick after Ayacon finished is because he's a cheap bastard and he gets ridiculously low rates at De Monfort.

>>8560625
>Can't have both a sandwich and fruit

What was the point.

>>8560977
Did you see the post tabs did on her page where she posted her underwear? Kelly cosplay commented on how good the photo is (but really it isn't flattering at all) and the guy jumped in and asked if she would like to a shoot like it?

>>8561195
Standard GWC behaviour. Priorities are getting out-of-their-league women naked and making a quick buck off it. He'll take advantage of Tabby for now while he queues up his next cashcow.

At least Lucas had the decency to send a little money back to the girls and didn't pretend that what he was doing was anything more than tits for hits.

>>8561195
I saw that. He has zero shame and just sees girls as tools for his ebegging

>>8561191
Just so the gophers could powertrip. Breakfast shut an hour early on Saturday just so they could turn people away. They wouldn't even let a couple of us in who were in the queue or even pass some bread through the tiny gap in the door.

>>8560212
make drunker friends with bigger tents, makes for a more superior party then they could arrange ever

>>8558648
she wore it the entire day dude

>>8562316
mate I rolled out of my tent hungover and literally crawled to breakfast and I managed to get there in time. git gud.

>>8562316
powertrip? they ran out of breakfast and if you ask nicely when they run out towards the end they try their best to make you up something if possible, this happened to me twice over the weekend

eaither stop lying/making shit up or just stop being an asshat lmao

>>8562588
esp. important when all the yakisoba went because I was playing a drinking game and they scambled to get me a portion of something even though I said not to worry about it

It's amazing people still find shit to whine about when they paid practically nothing to pitch their tent, be fed 3 meals a day and have their con badge included.

>>8562316
>Breakfast shut an hour early on Saturday
No it didn't?

>>8562611
Was it always 8 till 9?

>>8562598
>>8562591
>>8562588
>>8562564
All these Gophers lying to try and cover their asses.

Even some of the staff said the Gophers were getting out of hand this year.

>>8562624
I can never be bothered to Gopher Toko because it's a pain in the ass and I just want to get wasted

try again

>>8562631
>All these Gophers lying

>>8562631
You don't have to go to cons to get wasted so you are definitely lying.

>>8562624
so what are the odds that this is some salty as fuck weeb trying to give Toko a bad reputation because he's just too awkward to make friends and have a good weekend there?

>>8562624
want a picture of my badge to prove I'm not a gopher?
>>8562639
what kinda bullshit statement is that, you think going to a club is the same as going to a con with all your friends from around the country/europe in stupid costumes to get wasted?

>>8562639
I'm sorry are you suggesting that being drunk off my ass for three days straight somehow means I can make a decent contribution to running a con and having responsiblities to take care of?

>>8562694
What are the odds this is just a salty gopher who is too awkward to have friends so has to gopher.

>>8562700
>want a picture of my badge to prove I'm not a gopher?
Gophers don't get special badges.

>>8562704
this is pretty much my reason not to gopher tbh, I could be a credit to team for maybe one day of the con and after that I'm a lost cause for anything that isn't McDonalds runs

>>8562708
if they were a gopher they'd probably know that, wouldn't they?

I bet the people who are shittalking the gophers are the gophers themselves, they probably hated serving all of these nice cosplay campers and are now trying to stir up shit just for the sake of stirring up shit.

You're awful.

>>8562714
>>8562708
woops, my mistake they don't, guess if you found a list of gophers I could prove it haha
either way you're salty af, get better friends and enjoy your damn con

>>8562719
But they did have special badges...

Committee and important Gophers had yellow lanyards the badges were the same, literally go home, there's always one seagull that attends toko for the first time makes no friends and shitposts right after

all you have to do is make 2 friends and your connection to the people that run Toko is instant, it's not hard to realise its a tiny con run by decent people with no drama, stop making shit up everyone that actually attends can see your terrible attempts to cause shit

>>8562724
noo they didn't they had yellow lanyards

>>8562734
Toko's great. The gophers can be total cunts though. Also fuck Foxy.

>>8562739
Foxy's sweet, he's just very awkward and weeby. He seems like a nice enough guy. The only time I've really witnessed a cunty gopher is when one guy totally lost his shit at my brother during capture the flag or something and threatened to kick him off site.

To be fair, my brother did shield bash someone.

>>8562613
7-9 m8

>>8562739
most new Gophers I rarely get on with, but that's alright because they don't tend to stick around.
A few of the regular ones I don't click with and I will agree are dicks, but most are sane people with decent humour

The trick to toko(and life really) is just to be chill because things will happen eventually

Foxy's alright though, just a bit awkward

>>8562752
>The trick to toko(and life really) is just to be chill because things will happen eventually
This is so true.

What was up with the lack of games this year tho? Were they not announcing things, or were they actually not happening?

>>8562774
I don't really remember because I was 1: really drunk and 2: didn't do a single event this year because I was too busy socialising and didn't want to break of and run around.

from what I remember though the usual word of mouth spread AFTER they did a megaphone annoucement was pretty low this year but when CTF and OtakuRoyal was on at least 70% of the congoers vanished to go do it.
I heard like 2 AnimePictionary 1 CTF 1 Royal1.0 and 1 Royal2.0

They're still finding their feet, it's only the second year at that site that wasn't a last minute rush because of being cucked by the old site and all the old backwards committee members are finally gone so improvements can actually start to happen now

>>8562786
>and all the old backwards committee members are finally gone so improvements can actually start to happen now
gib deets, I didn't know about this

>>8562794
Not much other than the people that used to run it not being open to suggestions and running it too seriously. Most of them went through the phase of growing up having lives and attending toko as congoers before also phasing that out their lives.

Now the only real level of weirdness is toko-retreat, that for some reason attend toko but dont socialise and pitch their big ass tent really out of the way.
You'll notice now that toko is trying to merge the social events into one area along with the tents so everyone can mingle. Which is why I don't really understand why they're allowed or even want to be there if they just keep to themselves regardless of having children or not.

>>8562820
I'd rather that they pitch their massive tents out of the way so there's space for smaller tents

Unlike the cunts with the USSR flag

>>8562829
Committee said to me that they're going to totally dissallow tent-nations next year, aka facing tents inward to each other and having those marquees for themselves because it ends up with them partying there and being antisocial

>>8562838
Don't know who you heard this off because I heard the complete opposite. They liked the fact that people had made communities and such.

If people want to hang around their tents that is their business.

>>8562845
straight up the top two organisers lol
so I wouldn't recommend bringing it next time ;^)

>>8562845
No, you're wrong. The organizers are complete nazis at this point, they hate people who have fun on their own. Starting next year they're gonna ban anyone who doesn't show up to all of the events that weekend (unless they have a valid excuse. Not being social is not a valid excuse fyi).

Straight from the organizers mouth.

>>8562858
could you try harder to stir shit up please its not quite obvious enough

>>8562865
Don't tempt me to try even harder, it'll turn into an awful cringefest

>>8562873
you mean like it is now?

>>8562877
You know it.

>>8562838
I don't see the logic of this, a bunch of my friends have setups like that and they still socialise.

>>8562889
yeah on paper it sounds a bit dumb but honestly just look at this year
plus the amount of trash that gets generated in those places is massive and it's killer on cleanup the next day after the con ends so I kinda get it

>>8562896
Yeah, good point about the trash thing, we cleaned ours up but I wouldn't be surprised if others didn't. What do you mean by 'look at this year'?

>>8560277
I only know the guy running it, but he's in decent shape (and actually pretty hot tbh, would bang). If they're all of that standard, I would be one happy lady. I was expecting DYELs too when I heard about it but from what I know, the guys running it are JoJo cosplayers? So that's a good start if you ask me. If they have waiters cosplaying from JoJo, they're going to have to evacuate the venue to mop up the flood from my vagina.

>>8562899
i mean as in look at the like 6/7 different tent-nations and the 40 people nobody even saw outside of their tent fort

>>8562915
Most of the time when I walked past those in the evening, they were empty? And the Communist people were definitely out socialising, we got chatting to them. Tbh though it's not like Toko has a venue capacity issue anymore, so if people want to come and do that, let them. It's better than banning it and Toko not getting the reg money from them. Making camps is half the fun of camping!

>>8562922
nobodys going to ban anyone this is what I don't understand people taking Toko too seriously, it'll just be a case of dont put this massively excessive thing up not 'don't come to the con'

plus getting banned from Toko is pretty much impossible unless you cause actual physical fight that ends in a trip to A&E

>>8562932
nah I know the people won't get banned, but people might not come if they can't set up the way they like. We were thinking of getting a gazebo for next year so it'd be a bit disappointing if we brought one and then were told we weren't allowed to put it up.

>>8562935
yeah well i'm saving you some £££ because they wont be allowed

>>8562939
Think I might message the Toko page and ask, thanks for the warning friendo. Do you know of anything else they're likely to object to?

Also isn't it a total dick move to ban them now that it's taking place later in August and the weather is more likely to be bad? People sticking to their gazebos in the rain is still more social than people sticking inside their tents.

>>8562900
I know for a fact that all the guys running the panel will be very hot manly men, so I'm looking forward to it.

>>8562953
>panel
cafe* sorry

AnimeLeague seriously thought they could host a cosplay meet this weekend at Harrods in London.

Well the official Harrods Twitter page says otherwise.

Fucking twats lol.

>>8562984
Link?

>>8562991
Nvm found it.

>>8562991

>>8562984
Thought as much lmao fucking idiots

>>8562991

Compiled some screencaps instead to make it easier.

>>8562991
It was obviously organised by some little autistic anime League weeb who thought they had booked Harrods for a Cosplay event

>>8562939
and you are who exactly?

>>8563025
why, who are you? a salty dog or committee?

>>8563025
the person saving you some £££

>>8562838
This would be pretty backwards way of doing it tbh.
A con can't force people to take part in their events - what people commit their time to is entirely their own business.
Stopping people from forming clusters and barring a key social aspect would destroy the entire point of people attending the event. 90% of con goers are there to socialise with their friends not play pictionary

AnimeLeague now claiming Harrods were sent threat calls and their main attention seeking bitch Kerri Louise commented on how "very disappointed" she is.

Fucking LOL. Greatest lie ever.

Now AL have claimed Harrods were sent threat calls which is why the cosplay meet was cancelled. Seriously that's just fucking low. Of course Kerri Louise has to act like the martyr of the group.

>>8563004
So they decided they could run a cosplay meet in a shop without asking/booking? And of all the shops to pick, Harrods? I must be missing something here because this seems far past normal weeb stupidity.

>>8563025
>>8563032
>>8563033
>>8563047
I've messaged Toko, so I'll let you know what they say.

>>8563087

apparently it was a Harrods employee's idea, then AL had to take over as they usually do when it's anyhting to do with cosplay

>>8563047
They're not trying to force people to go to events by doing this, that's just what some other dumb anon said. You'd know that at Toko they're very lax and cool about people not wanting to go if they don't want to.
the whole event is based off being social im not that retarded to think that

What a shock.

>>8563124
Bunch of fucking numpties.

>>8563124

Looks like a lie to cover up the original lie over supposed death threats. What a hot mess.

>We'd ask that people calm down and stop trolling this page. That is exactly the reason why the previous post was removed and if need be we'll remove any further responses.

>>8563169

They did the classic pre teen response...delete all 'mean troll' comments that didn't agree with what they had to say.

Will people finally see that AL are shit after this incident?

>>8563169
>Pointing out that they're all morons.
>trolling

>>8563091
>Hey _______! There has been some light conversation about how to better organise tents and manage space, but I am not aware of any talk about banning gazebos. There should be a proper discussion soon and we will let people know when we know ourselves.


So it sounds unlikely that they'll be banned outright. Perhaps they'll have an area for big setups separate from the little individual tents, or something like that.

>>8563219
Thankyou anon!

Are there any UK cosplayers you'd like to get to know better or meet at your next con?

>>8563219
Well good
Tent communities/clusters are hardly antisocial, you could walk up to one and make a bunch of friends with ease

>>8563230

this chick.

>>8563247
oh god not this girl she such a AL weeb plus I had a run in with her when I did a frozen cosplay.

>>8563247
No you don't... You really don't.

>>8563270

What was the run in like?

>>8563333
I post on the mcm fb gourp about my cosplay then she hijacked the therd going on about her fan made dark elsa which was shit.

>>8563347
At the con she was very overbearing to all frozen cosplay to the point we just have to run away from her.

>>8563247
>>8563270
>>8563347
>>8563354
Vendetta could not be more fucking obvious. None of us know who this chick is, at least make an attempt at subtlety next time. Fucking newfags.

>>8563362
It's Kerry Louise and she is fairly overbearing...

>>8563362
but hay if u enjoy overbearing weebs enjoy

>>8563000
Thursday, if it was going to happen i thought it was suppose to be on a saturday? Either way it's postponed.

AL is full of all of the following which he claims has broken the community...and that includes himself.

Haha wow.

Wait hold up, stop the press. That last tweet seems to imply that there will be free cake at Harrods.

>>8563347
> not sure if troll or stroke victim

>>8563584
top kek

>>8563219
I've just had a further message from Myst about this, which he hopefully won't mind me passing on- Toko definitely does not have a problem with gazebos or inwards-facing tent clusters, the comment about 'banning gazebos' was a joke due to one in the festival area that flew off during setup. Apparently Toko is going to have some rules changes next year, but it's going to be aimed at allowing gazebos and diverse tent types in a fair way. So that sounds like nothing to worry about.

Did anyone bring a 5+ man tent to them selves this year?

>>8564412
We had a 6 man for two people, but we always do that. Well, I guess we had three people in it last year, but we didn't have a third person this time. It's nice for one of the group to have a big tent in case the heavens open.

>>8562734
>no drama
>run by Colin

Top kek

>>8564432
Oh, and now it all comes out. We have someone in this thread with a vendetta against Colin. Guess that would explain all the shitposting against Toko!

>>8564434
cgl/ is the only safe place to bitch and moan about petty stuff. Please go back to tumblr and let the big girls vent.

>>8564434
Check the post count, dumbass. I'm one of his friends. Even he admits he attracts drama like flies to honey. Once he texted AQA and asked for his own details and they legitimately answered that he was someone who got too much drama and didn't know why.

>>8564443
If you come to cgl to bitch and moan about Toko, I'm sorry, you are trash. Toko is pretty much the only drama-free UK event (we shouldn't expect a repeat of this year's bizarrely chill Kitacon) and anyone who doesn't want it to stay that way is an antisocial knobend.

>>8564447
Anyone who takes cgl seriously needs to get out.

>>8564412
I'm def going to bring a 6 man tent for myself next year. Trying to get changed horizontally on an air bed is harder than I thought.

>>8563597
I remember getting into a bit of heated debate online about something AL related once, to which I got jumped by several AL henchmen, one of which I called them out on, they denied.

Checked their name against AL forum
50k posts.

>>8564487
Most of us didn't know about that until the masquerade. It was super chill for anyone not involved in that debacle.

>>8564632
Did anyone ever find a video of the announcement at the masquerade?

I'm glad that Harrods event got shut down
What a terrible idea

I almost forgot how awful some weebs can be until I bumped into one of their meets in the park last weekend
You don't realise that you surround yourself with the good ones until you are faced with the scary ones again

>>8564644
I don't know Anon, I was at the masq so I never bothered looking for one.

I was getting super pissed off at the chairman saying things like 'Do you understand why we're disappointed in you?' over and over and expecting a response, though.

I'm an adult who has never met you who is attending your event without causing trouble. Don't be so damn patronising.

So rustled.

>>8564650
Wow, I'm glad I didn't go to the masq now. Or the closing ceremony. Fuck that shit, don't treat 1500 paying attendees like children just because just over 1% of them were idiots.

>>8564688
The rest of Kita was so good but that was just annoying.
I avoided the closing ceremony like every year. I wonder if my friends wanted to go but eh. It didn't sound as bad as last year. Actually, the whole of Kita felt a lot more organised and cohesive.

I love Kita man I'm gonna go until that thing dies.

ALL BY MYSELF

I have never gone to an AL event and the more hear about them the more it laugh.
Do people not have any common sense?
I would have loved to have seen what would have happened if Harrods didn't find out ahead of time and they turned up only to be carted away by security.

Wrong thread there Anon?

>>8564710

>>8564457
Fuck off cunt

>>8564725
every single thread, somebody thinks I am Denmark.
maybe I am you.
clearly one of us needs to take less drugs.

>>8564741
She does live in a mental asylum...

>>8564741
Dont do drugs, that shit is not good for you :/

>>8564745
Reece, whatever weird-ass version of Denmark's life you're currently fapping to, I can tell you that it isn't accurate mate.

>>8564751
I can't fap anymore, Denmark ate my penis.

>>8564758
I would love to try human meat someday but yours is too rotten for me sorry

>>8564763
I can't imagine it's much of a meal, anyway.

Ame and Kita's committee's always go the extra mile when it comes to cringe.

>>8564778
I have found cringe to be the case with every committee ever tbh. Toko's no better, I never went to Aya. How's Minami's committee?

>>8564773
underated post

>>8564763
Just stop.

>>8564845
You first.

Your samefag is showing, Denmark.

>>8564853
mods are allowed to samefag

>>8564853
So many lies you could pin up on me and you choose samefag. That's kind of upsetting actually.

So who the fuck is Denmark and why is she shitting up the thread?

>>8564880
:^) I'm a drugwhore who lives in a mental asylum after making the mistake of having feelings for a guy who had issues because of his tiny penis, obviously.

Someone go make a new thread since this one is autosaging. We only shit up threads that are dying.

>>8564785
Aya committee were generally cool because they got on with running things and had non committee people (I think) who can actually MC up on stage. Went to Minami once but missed the opening ceremony so no idea who's actually on their committee

>>8564880
>I'm new pls spoonfeed me

>>8564525

Watching AL kids get banned from places brings me joy. It's the shittiest weeb group ever to roam the UK. They really do hate being told they're wrong.

>>8564984
Minami has a unique opening ceremony. They have a little in door festival with game stands and free finger food. Then everyone gathers around a little stage where some introductions and basic dos and donts are said and then there's more games where people are picked from the crowd.

It's a good laugh.
