/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I got on the scale today and gained 5 pounds in 4 days

>>9936830
Mine said I was down 2. I don't think I ate all of Friday. Had some potato chips and dried fruit.

>>9936807
I was surprised that JKL was more fun than JSL

>>9936807
>Did a live dub of Monster Musume at the HiDive panel
>Got the last Neptunia plush
>Acquired tons of free shit at the booths
>Made it to finals of CWF
>Got tons of pictures of my Wario cosplay
>Played DQXI
And I did it all with my best friend. So I had lots of fun even if the con wasn't all that good.

You managed to hookup with a qt astolfo cosplayer, right /cgl/?

>>9936846
I have already accepted my fate of dying alone, anon. I no longer know what fear is.

A lot of panels I went to were no photo which sucked ass. And there was a great lack of giveaways at those panels too. This year felt kinda lackluster due to that. Not that I was gonna win anything anyway.

>>9936852
Panels with japanese people are pretty much always no photo that's not a new thing this year.

>>9936846
tfwn

I'm finally done, I can get a good night's rest now.

>>9936865
Not always. I remember prior years where they had no stipulations regarding photos depending on guest/panel.

Speaking of giveaways, fuck rock paper scissors.

>>9936846
all of them straight up looked like dudes

>>9936830
Don’t worry about single digit gain at a con, anon

Remember that you should only worry if it stays on and you keep adding to it.

If you were to step on a scale and people told you to hold a jug of water, of course the needle on the scale is going to move.

Just go back to your active lifestyle and you’ll be good

Also,fuck this Gundam. He was in a good spot on day 1, but on 2 and 3 this fucker didn’t want to move from the hallway leading to the entertainment hall and congested everything for hours.

>>9936873
tfw i always lose on the first round

>>9936877
Same. Fuck, just give me a raffle ticket the disappoint stings less.

>>9936830
I mean, on the bright side you actually ate well.

Used to be people would starve themselves at cons to buy merch.

>yfw after looking at your bank account after AX
>yfw you’re more broke than the homeless people under the bridges and beside the bus stops near the convention center until Payday

>>9936873
Fuck the way trigger does those trigger dollar giveaways, they always dump them all on the aisle seats in 1 spot.

So I checked out this just to see how bad it was, nothin else much to do Sunday. It consisted of 3 Fat white self hating sjw’s. The main chick had a shaved head and had a walking cane and if I’m not mistaken had gout, another one of the speakers was a fucking bearded lady, serious shit.

> shaved head he she talking about her first ever “cosplay”
> fucking monsters inc mike wazowski cosplay
> literally starts talking in wazowski’s voice, fitscharacterperfectly.jpg
> #metoo victimist bs
> shave head talks about fail suicide attempts, almost threw self out of 80mph car
> traps in audience
> speakers of course all have huge victim complex
> bearded lady shares experience when watched the purge, triggered tht the white people didn’t die in movie

God all mighty, if AX gets any more pc beyond that definitely never going again.

>>9936846
one of them was my roommate but I ain't gay

>>9936892
Now you know why they got shoved into 3rd day.

>>9936892
i was at the same panel, anon! had to look away at times when it got too cringey, can't believe cursing was prohibited

>>9936892
you have my condolences, holy crap

>>9936830
I lost 7. Turns out eating only 2 bacon wrapped hot dogs and actual fancy udon and forced marches in the hot sun is a great diet!

>>9936830
I definitely lost some of my skinny fat. I basically survived mostly on granola bars.

I got smashed by a qt cosplayer and I'm certain I caught something as a result
It's not surprising given that knowingly pozzing people is not a felony anymore over in California but I'll get my results soon

>>9936846
>disregard women
>get anime goods
I ain't here to play

>>9936904
Same here, anon

>go to Smart and Final down the street
>Buy boxes of protein cookies and granola bites.

$20 kept me fed for all four days

It also helps that my roommates provided alcohol for the con. I ran the numbers and I only consumed about 1300 calories each day, with about 500 being from protein cookies/granola a day, the other 800 was the liquor

Pic related was the exception to the rule. That mom and pop Indian place across the Staples center was fucking GOAT

>>9936892
>Almost threw self out of 80mph car
Didn't need to, he/she/it already experienced a complete and total car wreck.
Their diet.

>>9936915
I literally only saw 2 female astolfos and they were wearing the normal rider outfit, everyone else was short asian guys with the purple or pink outfit variants.

this was my roommate

Did you guys just not sleep at all? I was averaging 4 hours a night and wanted to die by the end of JKL. Didn’t end up going Sunday.

>>9936913
Just fyi HIV or aids or whatever takes weeks if not months to show up in tests.

>>9936928
4 hours is about what I got every night too. A lot of it was just excitement for the next day. I even took nyquil one time just so I could force myself to sleep.

>>9936928
I got 6-8 hours every night. But only because of booze and/or sleeping pills, and the need to rest after cosplaying in 100 degree weather.

I'm just happy I didn't burn this year.

>>9936926
did you bang

Friendly reminder that ax2018's black friday deal ended exactly 14 minutes after it was announced sometime around 3am.

2019 early bird prices will be no different
sale starts at noon PST and ends in exactly 15 minutes!

>>9936928
Yep 4 hours a night for me. I was dying on day 2 night and I was half awake at 6pm tipping over but I still had shit I need to do with friends. Needless to say it was not very enjoyable so on day 3 I took some adderal and stayed awake long enough to enjoy the party with my friends.

>>9936921
pretty much

>>9936943
is that the typical amazon schoolgirl outfit, or is it astolfo specific?
it must be pretty cheap either way

I starved myself too lmao, I just thought the food wasn't worth it except for those hotdogs outside, anyways I might go next year since i'll be 21. How was the Lounge 21?

>subsisting on 1200cal a day from homemade sandwiches
>lost 2.5lbs
i should keep doing this so i can crossplay next year

>>9936928
4 hours a night as well. I was mostly fine but would start to nod off if a panel got boring.

Those HEAVEN OR HELL guys are really annoying. I remember a couple years ago, I was at the beach with some friends, and the SAME fucking dude from outside AX walks into the sand doing the same shit. I hate SoCal.

>>9936950
Lounge 21 is utter shit. All you end up doing is wait in a long ass line to buy an over priced drink that has less alcohol content than a baby's apple juice just to sit around other autists that can't socialize at all. Go to westin 3rd floor pool side if you want to have a good time.

>>9936954

>Duel 1
>Let's Rock!

Here's a link for early bird since I didn't see it linked on the AX site yet.

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/anime-expo-2019-registration-registration-46087765748

Dumb fucking idol faggots buying out the premier badges.

>>9936892
>going to this garbage
Its like you WANT to catch the femi virus.

>>9936963

Sorry.

My friend didn’t get in though. We were both waiting for noon exactly.

>>9936962
Oh it's already gone...

>early bird and premier fan already sold out

>>9936965
I got it but couldn't for my friend. Would only let me buy one.
I hope aquors doesn't come back. Walkure was better anyways.

>>9936962
>already sold out
WEW

>>9936963
desu I didn't even use the 50 dollar ticketed event discount this year, none of the ticketed events looked good. I considered using it to go to maid cafe so I could buy that mug though, that mug looked nice.

>>9936976
I didn't either. This year didn't have many events I wanted.
Kinda sucked but everything else was fun.

>>9936940
FOUR
FUCKING
MINUTES

still got 'em

>>9936979
I was annoyed about the way they did exhibit hall line up and the bnha/aot premiers. Other than those it was good.

This has probably already been said before, but fuck the people running the KH3 demo. Fuckers kept capping the line and telling me to come back in around 30 minutes only for them to tell me the same shit because they had no clear way of telling me when the 30 minutes actually started. This is compared to the FGO VR and Soul Calibur demos that were incredibly smooth.

>>9936985

Yeah it was dog shit. If they just let in new people as the line got shorter (you know, like every other demo in existence) it would have been fine. Instead they tried to do it in waves and it was stupid.

PREMIER FAN IS AVAILABLE AGAIN!!!!

>>9936985
Honestly fuck the attendance rate. Shit gets capped so fast everywhere. The only thing they need to cap is attendance itself but they won't because everyone is after the jew dollar.

Anybody got vids/webms from that vr hentai game they demo'd in the exhibit hall? That shit was hilarious.

>>9936985
Yea they didn't set up in a way that let them have long enough lines for what kh was gonna draw.
>>9936994
Honestly I prefer it having as many people as possible, I always hate how pax and whatnot just sell out. Though that's partially because pax sells their passes in a retarded way. If passes were capped they'd need to cut down the size of the main events hall probably. Having a not full hall for big name stuff is a bad look.

>>9936830
I lost 5 pound just walking around 5 hours taking pics

Honestly I would rather put up with line caps than online waiting rooms where con badges are distributed by lottery.

Does anyone know how many premier badges they sell every year?

Did anyone get to meet Kim-chi or Kureyabashi? I went to both of their booths a few times and I kept missing them

>>9936998
>a bad look
Once again the only people who care about looks/turnout is the companies because it boils down to the dollar.

>>9936985
It was just as bad for the Aniplex store line. It doesn't help that they were so unorganized with their line, no line barriers, and the booth was located in the fucken front door entrance. Buy the time I was able to buy something, most of the shit I wanted was sold out in the 2 hour of the first day.

>>9936997
https://twitter.com/tone765/status/1015367062984667137

>>9937005
Sure and it boiling down to the dollar means the con wouldn't get as good of guests if they couldn't get those turnouts.

>>9937003
something like 2 or 3k iirc

>>9936875
That Gundam was amazing. I talked to her father, apparently theyre touring that costume at a ton of cons. It's pretty fucking impressive.

>>9936913
If you assumed and went to a hospital ASAP they could have cured you. HIV has a 48 hour period before you're fucked. But ya welcome to California where intentionally giving HIV is a misdemeanor.

>>9937013
Thank you, my sides have achieved orbit again

So how much money did you spend? I spent about $250, which is a lot less than I expected.

>>9937047
I spent more on food than I did the con
>want nice print
>no more wall space
>want nice fig
>no more shelf space
I caved and bought a plushie but those I shove in my car or bed

What would you cap the attendance at? I'm thinking 100k flat.

>>9937047
Overall about $3000-$4000
Hotel, badge, merch, food, booze, tickets, etc.

>>9937047
About $1k. Most of it was from hotel/flight.

>>9937047
with everything including gas, somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 bucks I think
could have been a lot worse all things said.

BUT now I gotta drop a bunch of dosh for the Pillows concert next week so thats probably another 3 or 4 hundo

>>9937072
If I was thinking purely about it being comfortable I'd cap at 80k until the LACC gets expanded.

>>9936997
https://twitter.com/HersheyKissuu/status/1015428332417003526

>>9937081
>Pillows concert next week

I bought two tickets and my friend im going with might leave the state for that week so I'll probably sell his on StubHub for a neat profit. I've never scalped a ticket, I wonder how I'll feel right after.

I bought premiere even though I only need it for concert tickets. I'm probably just reselling the badge itself

>>9937081
I'm skipping that because of comic con
Feels bad man

>>9936985
As a KH fag I was disappointed. But Im not an autismo so I'll just play when it releases.

>>9936881
Hope you have leftover granola bars and pocky

>>9937047
30 on danmaku, 55 on the ddlc trash because I'm a retard, 20 on transportation which I still have credit for and 95 on alcohol of which I still have the majority
Food I used card for so I'm sure between 20 and 50 but not too sure
Gave my last two dollars to a friend for a ride out of that hellhole

>>9937047
$600 on prints because I cant control myself.

>>9936963
If Aquors doesn't come back, I would expect a lot of those will be for sale later.

>>9937096
I've been buying only for concert tickets, but feel weird selling it since its tied to my name somehow.

>>9937102
So I am not the only one disappointed with the DDLC boxes? I wanted to support the Devs, but the box was not quality at all.

I bet I was the only person there who played Monster Strike while waiting in line.

>just got home
>early bird tickets are already all gone
;_;

>>9937047
If we're just talking merch, around $300.

>>9937113
Honestly I'm not actually too upset with it because I mainly wanted to buy the box to take a shit in it and hand it to a friend of mine when I go on a roadtrip later this year
But for the amount of money it's pretty bad, particularly the stickers, those should cost maybe 1-2 dollars each if you're overcharging, the bag should cost maybe 7 from things like art bovine (for better quality no less) and the prints are maybe 5 dollars each at most, button maybe a dollar, that sums up to $22 at most while retailing it, the only thing I don't have a solid on is the acrylic (maybe enamel I don't fucking know) standee, so that must be made of some good quality shit to make that jump logically

That said someone in a thread a long time ago made a statement that I agree with to this day and that's that yeah while you could get the stuff for sale there for much less (and for big purchases you ought to buy from the cheapest) what you're paying for is the memory of buying that at some particular con with all that went with that

>>9937047
$170 on prints and acrylic keychains/stands from the artist's alley, $85 on parking for all four days, and whatever the cost of gas was for commuting

>>9937113
The ddlc box was only worth it if you wanted the dan autograph desu.

>>9937047
I actually came out ahead

Bought 400 in idol merch for aqours during the day 0 morning line, resold with 30% markup throughout all 4 days

Won a few medium-big ticket things at booths and sold those almost immediately for another 200

Sold three TRIGGER bucks for about 60

FLCL shirt/poster from the panel was another 40

MHA ticket was sold to someone desperate for 100

I live close enough to LACC so in total I spent about 60 übering back and forth all three days so I am more than happy with the con

>>9937128
Acrylic things like that are usually around $15 maybe more for official ones so not too terrible. If you wanted the autograph ticket too I'd say it's even worth it. Also for buying stuff at cons that's why I mostly stick to buying stuff at artist alley since there it's at least directly supporting an artist.

>>9937146
Ah, so you're the reason why the con is shit.

>somehow nabbed a premier badge
Hope to god it’s worth it and can make up for this shitty year

>>9937128
> complaining about prices by considering the manufacturing costs
do you also go into clothing stores and say that you could buy the shit from china for a dollar?

Am I the only one mad that Day 0 badges are not included in Full Passes?

>>9937150
Lmao,get fucked because I paid everything with my time

I camped out for the idol merch line

I waited and planned ahead for everything that I was attending.I didn’t want to sell my MHA ticket but some neckbeard was borderline crying about not getting in,all I did was nonchalantly ask if he was interested in buying mine,I’m not that into MHA and the first number he spouted was $100

Same with the TRIGGER and everything else.

AX is crazy superficial and people forget that the merchandise means very little when compared to the experience itself

>>9937106
It's in the interest of the person buying it to not fuck up because they got it for line skip/dealer hall to begin with so I feel anyone who does buy it will be careful with it

>>9937158
it's kinda ridiculous that pre-show night is another 30 bucks

>>9937157
No nigga, I'm saying those are the retail costs to begin with, the manufacturing costs are way way less
They are taking $30 MSRP and selling it for $55 and that's if you're getting custom made shit in the first place

>>9937162
Did they have a half off coupon this year?

>>9937160
I got what I wanted but I had to sit next to losers like you who were there to resell shit instead of actually enjoy it.

>>9937160

This. I ain’t got time to wait for shit. I bought the aqours penlight from someone for a marked-up price, and I didn’t have to spend 7 hours in line.

do they make you buy the official penlight or something?
the only reason to buy the official one is to resell it later because they always get marked up to $400 from $70 because it's memorabilia now.

>>9937146
>>9937160
I'm glad you actually came out ahead at the end but doesn't it kind of suck to sink all that effort in for nothing? I hope you got some good stuff for yourself at least.

I did premier because I personally think time is more valuable than anything else when you're on a trip. Not so sure it's worth it these days since they compromised most of the time-saving perks.. but I can't imagine waiting around for stuff all day and not actually going to them!

>>9937169
Not that guy, but you sound mad salty

>>9937047
Just on food

The stuff I came away with was the volunteer swag they gave us ;__;

>>9937178
They're actually worth something? Isn't it only the idol ones?

>>9937182

Hey some of my favorite things were free. Namely the Michelle and Alpaca hats, giant swag bag, cute Euphonium fan, etc.

>>9937179
Not at all, I go to cons to meet up with friends and random fans for whatever series I enjoy. I’m pretty normie, so I have a lot of friends that work for different companies. I went to a lot of after parties and networked with a lot of people. You can’t do that during business hours, and if you think AX isn’t all about business during the convention posted con hours,you’ve got to be the biggest idiot in history.

>>9937169
Stay mad faggot. I sold a bunch of shit, but I also gave away a lot of it and got people into afterparties

>>9936985
Same shit with Atlus and such. They cap the line and you can't stay near the line because it's basically a hazard, so you can't get in at all unless you try and guess when they reopen it.

>>9937158
It's stupid how they have legitimate panels and stuff now for pre-show. Wanted to see JAST

>>9937189
Same here. I go for the free shit since I already pay out the ass for travel, stay, food, ticket, etc.

>>9937178
No you can use any light. Some guys want it as proof they were there. I used last year's light but they did a preorder on that one, thank god

>>9937191
Oh neat, we probably met if you attended vendor or publisher parties. Yeah I can kind of understand where you're coming from if those were your objectives. Glad it all worked out!

That being said, con business isn't typical business so your last bit isn't totally true. Stuff like catching special guests is much easier during their downtime at the con. At least that's how it generally works out for me.

>>9937191
I will stay mad since faggots like you will continue making cons shit for people actually there for the content.

Can we talk about that fucking disaster that was the Closing Ceremony line? The whole line reorganization was bad enough, but that dumb Asian chick that was yelling at everyone, even the volunteers were the ones that fucked everything up, really put me over the edge. I was having an okay time before that, too.

>>9936892
>>9936897
>guys, I went to shit panel and it was SHIT

Who could have forseen this?

>>9936846
No, cuz there were only like 2 cute ones

Maybe someday :(

I hope more of the bigger booths adopt the ticket system that GSC had. It wasn't perfect but it beats hovering around a booth waiting for the line to open up.

>>9937230
I legitimately snapped at the idiotic volunteers on day 0. There were 4 of them right next to each other shouting opposite directions at me after another volunteer told me to trek it across the heat to the wrong place. Then they nearly had me scan my badge for the wrong thing and mess up my pickup. Thank god I was paying attention and stopped them before they scanned it.

>>9937047
$60.

Ok seagulls, admit it. Who did you have a crush on this con?

>>9937276
This, link shirt guy was based. No one stood a chance

Best ax ever.

Cuckd fuji and had a danger dog

>>9937279
Did you get the danger dog shits though.

>>9937273
I think I tend to find black women less attractive on average. This one was just really cute though I'm sad I didn't try to talk to her more after getting a picture.

>>9937279
I loved the smell coming off those danger dog stalls. I wasn't going to touch that shit though.

>>9937276
>>9937277
What was his name? I forgot. Most meetup people are awkward but not terrible. I wouldn't say I crush on any of them though.

>>9937279
tell us the story. im cool with fuji but always down for a good laugh

>>9937276
Anyone got a pic from the meetup?

>>9937286
Someone post the scooby pic.

Went 2 days, spent around 8-900$, thought the damage would be way worst. On a side note, can never go wrong at jlist booth, their mystery box is crammed with good shit I think, alteast theirs is filled it up unlike the DDLC one.

>People thought the orgy thing was a meme
>TFW waiting on fuji to get laid

>>9937285
I didn't get his name but he got pretty much all the attention from the women there. God I wish I were the link shirt guy, no one stood a chance.

>>9937290
>inuyasha
Are you a gayboi or just a girl?

>>9937293
Orgies at cons def isn't a meme, someone I know goes to cons just to do drugs and fuck dudes.

>>9937295
>tfw girl
Wait a minute, most of us didn't go to the shit meet. Oh right, you guys have nothing better to do than make up stories about something-shirt-guy. Pinky shirt guy, link shirt guy, what's next?Tsk tsk anons.

>>9937297
It was the first anime I was exposed to in my youth, don’t judge desu.

>>9937301
>Make up stories
Kek, is the idea of nearly all the men at a 4Chan meet up except one that far fetched?
Anons are saying they went to orgies or that fuji got fucking laid but a group of betas losing to a Chad is the one you don't buy?

>>9937301
>most of us didn't go to the shit meet
How would you even know if girls didn't go to the meet if you didn't go to the meet.

>>9937301
Did you go to any of the meet ups out of curiosity? There was a higher number of beta orbiters than usual. Did you get orbited?

>>9937301
>Shit meet
The meets were the only good part of AX even with so many betas getting charged by one guy.

>>9937317
*Chaded by one guy

>>9937243
This. GSC gets an A for doing that shit. FGO VR gets an A for doing that. Everyone else who capped immediately and didn't bother doing that need to get fucked and then rethink how to run their booths.

>TFW Fish will never sap inside your log cabin

>>9937321
Why doesn't AX so this with panels? It wouldn't be that hard

>>9937326
ew he's disgusting

>>9937331
I've wondered that for a long time and I've been going to AX on and off for the past decade. You just waste so much time in a line.

WHY LIVE?

>>9937047
About $590 USD split between merch and food and beer and uber. Got the mushbuh sweater i've been eyeing. I'll take a pic of everything once I land in Sorryland again

I was able to get Sushio's autograph, but I wish that the lines were more regulated. Theres an insane amount of cutters in the lines. Some of those people in the autograph lines are seriously autistic about them and it really isn't fair that a lot of people got fucked over.

>>9937335
But can I cross your border of you know what I mean? Girl, I will orbit you so good the moon will feel cucked
>TFW thinking of you hurting

Anyone got pics from the meet ups? They were a ton of fun.

>>9937331
Imagine being so crowded and over capacity that you have to make people wait in line to get tickets to wait in line later.

What is it about politics that attract fucking ugly subhuman

That shit's a thing in the past buddy. Nothing but clique central nowadays unless you like seeing shitshows.

>>9937338
Canada?

>>9937377
No one here is going to judge you for it anon.

>>9937047
$1200 on hotel
$300 on AA/exhibit hall
$80 on Jojo Escape Room (sister and me)
$20 on train ticket
$25 on food (protein drinks and soup cause bowel obstruction lol)

>>9937384
jeez you got fucking ripped off on that hotel

>>9937388
Had to pay $50/day for my sister's car

>>9937254
one of yuki kajiura's singers, the one on the right

>>9937377
It's the only reason you get dressed like a meme girl.

>>9936926
Yo for real tho if hes gay tell him to HMU.

>>9937392
fuck yeah another kaori fan
>tfw overheard some faggot talk shit about her after JSL ended, saying she didn't perform well

>>9937290
wh-whats in the satania box?

>>9937401
fuck that guy, she was the best up there
>super cute
>looked like she was having a blast
hnnng

>>9937241
the actual title written on the schedule was "Fandom Saved My Life: Mental Illness Through Fandom"

had no idea it was being hosted by people identifying as attack helicopters

>>9937391
In the future I'd recommend parking it at union station east, should only be 8 dollars a day there plus a couple bucks to take the subway there to pick it back up.

>>9937405
you should check out her songs, anon

>>9937413
Good idea thanks

>>9937374
I don't buy an ax ticket

>>9937379
Its the only fun thing to do at AX these days

>>9937401
When there were three singers I thought it would be kalafina

>>9937412
>People with a mental illness talk about their mental illness

For those that did the FGO stamp thing, what was the prize for completing it?

>>9937430
one of the kalafina singers left the group this year ;_;

>>9937388
How much should it be? Mine was about $1000 for 4 nights. But it was me and a buddy so for me I guess $500. This was an AX block one too.

>>9937436
Yeah I know :( the cute one (keiko)

Isn't the JW like 500$ a night?

>>9937434
A lanyard which most people got one just from the swag bag pickup while others got Crunchyroll lanyards. Of course I got a Crunchyroll one when I got my swag bag and of course I got the default Saber/Mash one when i completed my stamp card. I got no luck.

>>9937437
I mean it depends a ton on the hotel but I go for around 200 a night and generally split it between 4 people.
>>9937444
pretty sure it's more like 300 a night generally

>>9937445
That's unfortunate anon. I'm OK with passing up on it if it was just a lanyard.

>>9937254
My friend was Crushing on Um. No homo but Believe and Fummy were fun and seeing Um again was great.

>>9937427
Yeah one half decent girl surrounded by 20 beta orbitors who all suck each other off in a fucking discord
Looks very fun

keep your discord to your discord please

>>9937455
The unfortunate truth. Unfortunately it seems like 4chan's era is far gone. Board meet ups used to be fun, but the edgy bois that have been booted out of Reddit have moved on to 4chan, and they're usually the last people you want to meet iRL.

>>9937341
>Theres an insane amount of cutters in the lines
why dont you call them out for it?

>>9936817
>Paying for a literal lootbox

You did this to yourself

>>9937460
I was pretty much cutting in line at every opportunity if there were no redshirts around, i was even doing it accidentally.
people are too damn beta to call me out on it

>>9937004
I saw them both and got a picture with them as well! Kimchi also remembered me and I got to see her out of drag in the artist alley, she was soooooooo much fun to meet! Too bad you couldn't!

>>9937460
I saw a fat slobby mofo cut the line for the fate grand order panel felt bad for the Asian guy behind him he looked so awkward when it happened. And a second later I kid you not they closed the panel.

Karma man

>6'6
>tfw blocked some small dude behind me from seeing his idolshow properly
>tfw they were good seats too
Haha sorry little guy. I feel kind of bad.

>>9937460
Day 0 I accidentally cut in front of a bunch of people to a panel. I thought I was in the back of the line, but I wasn't. Either that or the staff screwed up and opened the wrong door. It was one of the 400 something AB rooms. Sorry to the cute Chino cosplayer I was in front of.

Post your spoils of war.
>spend money on shit at AX
>most of the shit i bought isn’t even weebshit with the exception of 2 I’d rhe 3 AWM concerts
I don’t know what I’m doing anymore, but I do feel happy.

>>9937458
Board meet ups can be fun but it depends on what board you go on. it just happens if your board is predominately female your never going to elude the thirst.

>>9937469
Never feel bad for manlets, anon.

>>9937455
It is. I don't even go on the discord but asking cute boys and girls about their most degenerate fetish is a good time. Also if you want more women/less discord shit then announce the meet up in thread like we used to do.

>>9937478
It won't work, it'll just attract more orbitors and crossboarders.

My highlight was getting hit by a dude. I'm not gay, but it's nice knowing someone wants to spend time with me. Most of my con experience was this year. The weather killed it for me.

>>9937480
ALA 2016 was like 40 percent women if I remember and the board is like 50/50 gender wise. Beta orbitors exist to some degree at every party wether it is a seagull meet or not.

>>9937480
When the female ratio is higher betas can't orbit a single target as well. Cross borders are just a fact of life but for the most part you can't tell.

>>9937490
I'm talking about AX specifically. It's literally the worst for meetups.

>>9937493
I wish that was the case. I need to go to different cons.

Fanime or ALA?

>>9937498
>Fanime
retarded staff
>ALA
everyone has their cliques already

>>9937498
ALA is party con and is the best for meet ups. It's my personal favorite con for multiple reasons. The owners even come here to ask for advice and opinions

>>9937501
>everyone had their cliques
Easy to join them though. Everyone was super nice my first time

>>9937480
You can't really filter out the crossboarder boogeyman unless you enforce cosplaying.

>>9937502
>The owners even come here to ask for advice and opinions
How very very sad

Rank the So Cal cons from best to worst for the AX Exodus

>>9937254
Any Rem cosplayer who walked by. I know what I am about.

>>9937508
>AX exodus
you got 5 years for this to happen when they tear down the LACC for the remodel

>>9937506
I wish the ax management came here. I could tell them how to fix their shit con

>>9937514
AX is literally too big to fail at this point, they don't need to try.

>>9937501
Retarded staff how?

>>9937502
That's usually what I hear. I dunno if my wallet can afford two LA cons though unless I just budget super hard for one.

>>9937505
Cross borders in my experience are less fucking autistic than Seagulls who are like half women that just want to bitch at each other.

>>9937514
I stood in line next to someone with an ada badge but no visible physical impairment who kept ranting about how he could run a better con than ax.

In the AX meetup, was anyone in cosplay? I didn't go because I didn't have enough time to change and get there. I kinda regret not going.

>>9937518
The majority female demographics on this board is just too much to bear, I cosplay and even I never come here except for con threads.

>>9937004
Kim-Chi was so nice. Her Charolette/Mami cosplay during her autograph signing was very funny because she looked like Boo from Monsters. Inc.

>>9937518
Yeah the problem with too many women is they fight for beta orbitors attention and try to take each other down.
I just want to drink with semi-autistic retards who can still hold a convo and enoy the same hobbies as me. If there are only 2-3 women everyone literally orbits around them or acts fucking weird though.

>>9937384
How was the JoJo escape room?

Anyone do it? Feel like it was fun/worth it?

>>9937276
>Link shirt was so alpha the women orbited him

>>9937498
I want to say ALA only because I have gone to Fanime 3 times and never once left thinking "hmm, that was a fun con worth my time."

>>9937532
Who was Link shirt? Everyone keeps talking about them without ever posting an image.

>>9937521
I did the first night and so did a few others but AX is casual Con and has a lower cosplay to non demographic

Who took the post con survey?

http://survey.anime-expo.org/zs/EJCsiK

>>9937538
There was a ton last year, I feel like this year was super disappointing with the amount of cosplay.

>>9937530
I didn't do it but no one I heard talking about it had anything bad to say about it other than it being really hard.

>>9937542
The heat wave probably made some people decide to not cosplay.

>>9937545
That's understandable, I could only wear it for so long this year. I wish they'd change the date honestly.

>>9937530
It was fun but probably would have been more fun as a group of 6 friends rather than 3 pairs that didn't know each other

>>9937546
They're locked into it for the next 2 years at least contract with the city lasts through 2020 iirc.
>>9937502
Do people here roomshare for it I kinda want to go but it's all the way out in ontario.

>>9937504
>Easy to join them

The fuck are you talking about? Everyone was in circles talking to each other or running around with their friends both years that I went. The only people I saw by themselves were old photographers.

Fanime used to be really good for meeting people, but I'm not spending all that money to get yelled at by some fatass volunteer.

>>9937551
Just join a random circle and act like you belong.

>>9937546
>TFW cosplayed a shirtless character specifically so I wouldn't be hot
Feels good

>>9937550
Yes they do, I know because I do.
>>9937551
Learn to socialize nerd

>>9937562
>Yes they do, I know because I do.
Could you direct me to where/when I should look for that?

>>9937460
A lot of the time they cut in huge groups. I called out one guy but it doesnt mean shit when its 1v5 and staff doesnt give a shit.

>>9937556
>tfw another anon beat you to it

You also forget that today's anime convention crowd is not like they used to be, they get freaked out really fucking easy when a stranger talks to them.

>>9937562
If you were that good at socializing, you wouldn't be going alone to an anime convention.

>>9937554
>Hanging out with your friends
>Good times
>Some random sperglord just walks up and tries to enter your conversation

>>9936892
> 2014
Is it me or is this when tumblr went into overdrive?

Even though I'm 6'2, I want a 5'4 Astolfo cosplayer to dominate me and fuck me.

>>9937578
Same but only if they have a bigger dick than mine.

>>9936951
What kind of sandwich?

>>9937576
Please don't bully me.

>>9936954
Be glad they aren't Westboro.

>>9937585
just a typical sandwich with supermarket cold meats
>2x white bread
>1tbsp mayonnaise per bread
>4 slices turkey breast
>1 slice bologna or cotto salami
>1 slice american cheese in between the meat
>a squirt of sriracha on the cheese
wrap it up and eat it hours later, the sriracha melts into the cheese and creates a nice gooey mess that's filling and satisfying
i figure it's like 600-700cal if you want to start counting

>>9937578
being a tall sissy is suffering
you learn to be a switch or dont play at all

>>9937591
>white bread

>this is pretty much the message we all got once we got home

>>9937061
> no more wall space

>be myself
>Be cool dude and flex nerd shit
>Also educate where I can
>People actually think what I do is cool
>Get new friends

>Focus on getting to panel
>Sit in ada line because disabled
>Bitch next to me immediatelg says "are you ada? I have anxiety issues"
>Say yeah and show em
>They do this a second time minutes later and in panel realize they just hate men even if I didn't engage with them to begin with
>People boo'd her and her friend when on the mic
Goddamn did they pull the easily triggered PTSD card to get ada? I can't walk for shit but even I don't need to be an asshole to people that fast
I just wanted to have a good time and so did everyone else. And so we did

>>9937609
Are you a fat person with 1 leg that's slightly longer than the other

>TFW you missed out on saving $10 for next year because of work and at the same time trying to get tickets to Conan at Comic Con
Sugoi SPJA sugoi

>>9937613
I look like a square and I'm not fat. Around 160 5'11" I got a malformed disc in my lower back that fucks me up hard but I'm not a bitch that's gonna be in a wheelchair. My cane will do
If I don't sit somewhere it's just painful. I'm almost always on pain killers or weed to dull the pain.

I'm only 22 but I'll make it

>>9937265
I think the thirstposters scared them from doing it again.

>>9937617
>early bird special, save $10!
>eventbrite fees: $5
>mandatory shipping: $5

>>9937619
Ok, I thought you were someone I know since I heard a similar story from them. They said something similar happened to them in the anime dating game ada line.

>>9937272
You mean that Saber cosplayer?

>>9937623
Got a link to the story? I'd love to read it
I couldn't make it to that one. Decided to light it up outside then go home instead

>>9937622
a-at least it wasnt taxed too

>>9936807
4th time attending for me, 1st time cosplaying (maybe some of you anons saw me wandering around :D).

Also goddamn vendor prices can vary a shit ton, I found the Miyo nendo here for 60 dollarydoos when other vendors had her for 85 and 70.

>>9937290
Jlist boxes are worth it?

>>9937626
They told me that story irl anon.

>>9937254
SAYURI

>>9937631
Rip me then

>>9937630
>Are the [name] boxes worth it
No and they never will be

>>9937629
oh nice the only one i actually saw was for 85

>ada because blood clot in leg
>trigger dollar gun runs out right in front of ada section
>stops to reload but skips our section completely
>autistic dude sits next to me
>sitting half into my seat
>spends half the panel looking up trigger-related news/wiki articles on his phone until staff tells him to put it away
>no wonder someone managed to cam the entire jojo ep
>spends rest of panel spaced out

No complaints about Jojo or Gridman experience though

>TFW you'll never meet the Westin fireworks guy
>The hero that saved the hotel from the dirty weebs

>>9936928
I only went for one day but,
>Too busy with life, work, and helping my friend out with her wig to finish a piece of my own
>The night before I spend from 10:30pm-4:30am working on a hairpiece that affixes to my wig
>We had to wake up at 4:30 to start getting ready. I long for death but I'm pretty proud of my work
>Fast forward to the con, some people ask for my picture before we head into the dealer's room. Cool, cool. Mind you, my headpiece is barely bigger than my body and I'm petite
>Less than 10 minutes into the dealer's hall and my hair piece gets bumped, shoved, and made messy beyond wear
All that work for nothing

>>9937599
>Walk into work at 9AM
>Sit down at my desk
>Instantly fucking slammed with shit I have to do from the days I wasn't there

>>9937655
God today was extremely rough

>>9937591
That's 1300? Huh, I'm going on a budget and nutrition diet with wheat bread, one slice of salami, one slice of ham and one slice of cheese. Some mustard if I feel adventurous.

>>9937341
Did you get sketch or autograph? Day 1 they did sketch requests, day 2 they did requests first for some of day 2 tickets and the remaining day 1 tickets, then any sketch they felt like for rest of day 2, and day 3 they did mini sketches/autograph only.

I spent a combined four hours of waiting in just their lines

>>9937609
How much were these things? I figure they were too much for a novelty soda.

>>9937556
Oh god this fucking hurts to see. I did try to join one circle at the Westin party and this happened to me. One person shook hands at least, but everyone else pretty much just ignored me

>>9937661
No idea. I saw em in passing

>>9937642
The trigger dollar guns are always complete garbage.

Are trigger dollars a form of ticket or something?
Why were people paying up to $20 for a scalped piece of paper?

>>9937254
A Ochako Uraraka cosplayer with a fat ass

>>9937629
I saw you. good find on that nendo, my guy.

>>9937667
I think they're a fun souvenir but I agree the amount people want to pay is too much.

Anyone know when premier badges will go on sale again? I think I want to bite the bullet and just pay for it to save myself some time. The early hour in the exhibition hall alone will save me literal hours if I hit up every booth I really like right away

>>9937672
Black friday

So did the funimation people just lie or something? I went to their panel at the JW hotel, and they said that the MHA movie would be airing this week in select theaters and to just check out their eventbrite page. This was on day 2, and their page still has nothing on it about the movie. In fact it has nothing at all right now

>>9937673
I just mean in general. I don't care if I have to pay the full 450

>>9937676
The next time they sell them is black friday

>>9937629
saw you in the exhibit hall on sunday! was going to ask for a photo, too slow on the draw haha

>>9937466

Call me out next time, babybucks.

>>9937254
A Cindy Aurum cosplayer at the 18+ content booths. She had nice legs and a really fat ass, but im pretty sure they were fake.

>>9937677
Okay, thanks

>>9937460
I'm genuinely amazed at how passive people are about line cutters
>Dude from the meetup saved me and a buddy a spot in line for the cosplay weapon building panel
>Literally near the middle of a fairly big line
>We just walk in and people glare, but don't say a word
I would have fully understood, and went to the back if they said anything, but they didn't

>>9937254
Saw a perfect saber cosplayer, not really into fate shit so not sure which but it looked like a wedding dress and I only saw her for like ten seconds, I was gonna try to get a picture to capture that but my men were fucking screaming some shit at me about our plans so I missed the chance
Never saw her again but damn was she so beautiful that it stunned me

>>9937254

The Mash cosplayer at the Fate VR booth was killing the whole line ever time she posed for a picture.

>>9937254
The girl who flashed me her panties.

>>9937254
There was a cute girl running the line at the Fakku booth who told me it was capped, but then let me in anyway. She was pretty nice and cute

>>9937683
The only time I've seen people get called out they just toss back a "I just went to the bathroom" or something like that and then nothing happens.

>>9937674
they must have because they told us at the screening it would be coming in the fall

>>9937629
I saw you! Thanks for the chuckle.

>>9937695
That's just when you have to be firm about it and say "I've been here the entire time, you were never here. Either leave or I get a staff member"

At that point anyone who's cutting would realize the risk is not worth it and just leave. But of course no ones gonna have the balls to really call them out that far

>>9937696
I'm actually salty about that. They literally said the days too, the 11th and 12th this week, and to check out their page for tickets.
Why would they even go that far into specifics if it was wrong?

>>9937701
>bootlicker faggot leaves to go tattle
>he loses his place in line
>i deny everything and pretend i dont know him
>other people wont speak up and defend bootlicker guy

lmao

>>9937701
It's just not worth the potential altercation desu if someone tries to cut in front of me though I'll push them behind me.

>>9937705
>Being alone in line
>Not just calling out for the red shirt
You can keep cutting because most people will be too beta about it, but I'll call you out if you cut in front of me

>>9937705
>it's bootlicking to uphold the sacred social contract of the line

>>9937683
I usually do it in life, but when I'm with my friends in the con they tell me not to do that or it'll cause a big scene. I kills me how passive they are, but I don't want to ruin the con time so I deal with it.

>>9937622
>>mandatory shipping: $5
Shit, I better get my badge in a nice box like CCI does.

>>9937716
it comes in a crumpled envelope

>>9937659
Yea he sketched satsuki for me. Really beautiful. I think I’m going to frame it

>>9937705
Cut in line, I cut you.

>>9937683
they just mad af you got friends up there who were waiting in line and they don't

>>9936842
You and Waluigi should have won that desu

>>9937679
Oh I will you greasy fat white piece of shit

>>9937742
I agree. Guess we'll have to try our luck at Sacanime and ALA.

>Saw an orgy
>made friends as autistic as me
>Saw Fuji get laid
The con itself was shit but I had a lot of fun

>walked past a cute girl who smelled the worst

Nani the fuck.

>>9937758
I need more details

>>9937758
Noice

>>9937761

Disgusted but also an erection.

>>9936960
Westin is ded now. Firecracker guy and clumsy destructive drunks destroyed something great
>>9937013
Gave her the good old cum for all
>>9937047
Probably a g on booze, hotel, food, and merch but made about half that back in tips, so thanks to all who contributed
>>9937338
>tfw you didnt meet voldie
>>9937379
I kinda swoop in there and filter out the good ones. Its always been a bit cliquey, would you trust a random 4chan poster without checking them out first
>>9937384
Did you stay at the Ritz Carlton or something?

>>9937661
5 each or the 4 pack for 15.
They're pretty much a red bull with jlists mascot on it. I bought them and drank them. Rinsed them out and carefully 'closed' the can again. It's alright.

>>9937412
>>9936892
I went to the "Diversity in Voice Acting" panel because I had nothing else to do and have an interest in voice acting. I went in expecting it to be about literal diversity like minorities, and was pleasantly surprised that it was just about having diverse voices and experiences and shit. But of course some people were a little upset it wasn't about minorities
>QA session comes up and a black guy gets picked for the answer
>He literally says "As we all know there is not a lot of black characters in anime for me to voice, and even then those black characters get played by white people. What can I do to get more black characters available for black people to voice?"
>The voice actors reply to him sounding sympathetic at first, telling him that he's right and there are very few black characters
>But tell him that the only way to get more would be for him to make his own studio/animation and produce them himself
>The guy voice actor (Torb from overwatch) then goes on to tell him that the beauty of voice acting is that you can play anyone, different races, creatures, objects, literally anything, and that if he's choosing to only want to voice black people he'd be severely limiting his ability to work on his own
>Goes on to say that he will never not be hired because he's black, but maybe they like someone else better for the job
I was pleasantly surprised that the guy got BTFO

>>9937412
>>9937769
Seriously, who could have forseen this?

>>9937638
I can fuck with $60 but $85 is way too much.

>>9937670
She's easily one of my faves in my collection, if not my fave.

>>9937678
Darn! Maybe next time. I think the next con on my list is Anime California so if you're at that then feel free to snap away!

>>9937699
That's what I'm here for (apart from spreading the message of cleanliness, lol)

Tfw the only cute girl I talked to was one of the staffers
>Day one decided to pick up my 18+ wristband right away in case I did any late night panels
>The girl with the wristbands asks for my ID
>Show her and she says she'll need to borrow my wrist
>Tell her she can keep it
>Awkwardly smile at each other after she does my wristband until I realize I'm holding up a line and leave
>Never see her again

>>9937765
Is the Westin seriously going to not allow the deck party next year? Also I swung by the party as an anon from the threads, had a good time with you guys

>”welcome to the real world, jackass”
>went to the convention center once more to pay respects before going back on a road trip back home today
>found out on Saturday morning that my copy of the Gravity Falls Blu-ray box set arrived at my brother’s place arrived on Friday
>he’s vacationing with his kids out of the country meaning my package is potentially unattended
>arrived back home in the goddamn rain with most of my shit from con drenched
>my potentially unattended package is now fucking drenched
Thank God I bought an extra copy of the box set and lithograph at Anime Expo in case shit like that happened. Now to pass by work tomorrow to look at my new schedule.

>>9937773
>got a ton of pics with random cos players
>lot of the girl ones seemed really happy about me asking to get a pictures
>be to awkward to ask for anything past that

I did get hit on by like 3 dudes pretty hard though. Flattering but I don't swing that way. Some times I wish I did, seems easier.

>>9937490
The female seagulls got scared off by thirsty crossboarders, I was told this by multiple grills
>>9937521
handful of ppl were yes
>>9937776
I dont think so, or at the very least it wont be what it was. Too much damage, and the management team was pissed. We have insiders to feed the party scene info.

>>9937779
>I did get hit on by like 3 dudes pretty hard though.
Were you cosplaying?

>>9937784
Not this year.

>>9937629
I was the murloc kigu who asked for a pic of you. Great costume especially the back.

>>9937780
>Tfw made a joke that probably scared one girl
I honestly didn't mean for it to be anything more than a joke, but you never know how people take these things

>>9937785
Damn you must be an adonis because what the fuck?

>>9937792
I mean the sheer number of dudes is intimidating for women

Wrap your danger dog.

>>9937795
Yeah, that's definitely true. Honestly just by the ratio of guys to girls and the fact that I didn't have my own hotel room I immediately accepted that I wouldn't be hooking up with anyone and just socialized and drank.
Speaking of which, god tier bartending my guy

Posters here made ALA seem fun. How does the student discount work on registering?

>>9937765
>Did you stay at the Ritz Carlton or something?
Westin
5 nights
$250 on parking

>>9937276
Fuck you too

>>9937804
>$50 a day on parking
I'm amazed that you can spend almost $1000 on a hotel and they won't comp your parking.

>>9937808
LA be like that

>>9937808
if you can afford $1000 room you can afford parking too :^)

>>9937799
Thanks man, glad you were able to come thru
>>9937804
Ahh if you werent sharing the room costs that makes sense

Do you think anyone that played the VR sex game came in their pants? I'm afraid that's what would happen to me if I tried it

>>9937826
No, but they probably got an erection.

Been going to AX since '09, and have been lurking here since that time, too. I have never met any of you guys ever, other than chatting up with Masa while I was having a cig. break. Whenever you guys have a meet up, I try to get there, light up a cigarette, and just watch you all from the distance before leaving. This year was no different.

I only go to AX anyway just for the atmosphere, and get away from my soul crushing work. I hope you guys had fun, and hopefully next year won't be as blistering hot.

>>9937793
Well heres what this robot says.

>>9937827
Honestly between the visual stimulation and the act of literally humping something I'd be amazed if anyone could do that without getting a boner after

>>9937047
$600 cdn for the flight. 900us on hotel. Another 600 on merch/food. So... a little under 2k.

First year too. If I go next I may try for premium since I like the early/no line part of it. Are they hard to get?

>>9936913

Shit, man. If you're looking to fuck / get fucked by cosplayers at cons, at least get PREP. I fucking swear, it's like it's SAFER to fuck a prostitute these days than some con thot.

>>9937834
I probably could have fucked the dangerdogs and had a safer experience

>>9937469
I hear ya. Im 6'3" and always feel bad about people not seeing behind me.

>>9937833
I checked their twitter and they said they'll announce the premier badge sale before they go live, but you can also buy a normal badge and then buy a premier and cancel the normal one

>>9937254
This one qt Josuke cosplayer. She looked like someone from one of my classes.

>>9937629
I think I saw you in the Dealer's Hall on friday. Were you walking with a friend who had a similar themed costume?

>>9937629
Saw ya in the lounge 21+ on Sunday man. Thought the cosplay was spot on given the funk around the hall...

>>9937847
I'd say the heat was maybe 25% to blame at most. Sadly these people just do not give a fuck if they smell bad, or are deluded into thinking "Well I can't smell myself, how bad can it be?"
Seriously, how hard is it to
>Take a shower in the morning
>Put on clean clothes, or at the very least buy a new shirt to wear at the exhibition hall if for some reason you don't have a clean one
>Put on deoderant
>Brush your teeth
>Bring mints because after eating a danger dog or literally any food your breath will smell later
Bad breath was a huge complaint of mine. I sat next to so many fuckers with god awful breath. Next time I'm bringing mints and giving them to the people sitting next to be if their breath smells awful

>Go to gathering
>Join two new discord channels related to subject of gathering
>Trans lady gets offended by rando in the first formal discord channel making a dumb comment about a photo where they couldn't tell if they were guys or girls
>She wants mods to regulate their commentary
>try to explain I've also had random comments saying I've looked like a guy but such a comment is considered kindergarten levels of offensive and not worth censoring people over
>thinks I'm calling her mentally a kindergartener and gets offended and says she's gonna ignore me. She also just realizes at this point that I'm not a mod of that channel
>Few days later in second more intimate discord channel, we are talking to each other and even throwing jokes back and forth at each other
>wondering if she even realizes I'm the same person
Happy that we get along now but not even sure how I'm gonna approach this in the future if we interact more and go to the same gatherings

>>9937254
I stopped a Uraraka cosplayer after she was ordering her food for a photo. I apologized for interrupting her, but she was more than happy to pose for a photo. She even complimented my costume and asked if I was going to the BNHA meetup later. We made some jokes about the heat and then she said she hoped to see me later. Our conversation lasted like 2 minutes but she treated me like we had always been friends. It was one of the nicest experiences I've had at a con.

I'm so heartbroken that I couldn't make it to the fucking meetup because of the hallway blockage. I feel like she would've made a really nice friend.

>>9937837
>>9937833
they sold out almost instantly today
the next time they sell them will be black friday and that'll probably be it

you might be able to find some on resale (i'll be selling just my premium badge after i use the non-badge perks actually) randomly though

>>9937855
What causes people to smell like ammonia bombs? Sweating? Not showering? Wearing dirty clothes? Diet?

>>9937863
All of the above?

>>9937863
Definitely all of that, but the biggest two are not showering and wearing dirty clothes. People really underestimate how bad they smell after a day or two of not showering. ESPECIALLY considering how fucking hot is was everyone was sweating, so not showering after that would make you smell awful

>>9937862
Guess I'll have to try snagging one on black friday then

>>9937861
she already had a bf and if you met her again nothing would of come of it. You were not the only person she was nice to.

>>9937837
>>9937862
Do they usually limit them?

>>9937855
>>9937866
Hell, I changed my shirt Fri/Sat during the afternoon (and re-applied deodorant) when a self-administered sniff test told me that my current ones were done.

How some can go an entire weekend without some personal hygiene boggles the mind.

>>9937871
they've been doing this for the last few years
before they switched to eventbrite for ticketing, it wasn't uncommon that their early bird special would be $60 and last for the entire month of august and sometimes september.

>>9937868
Keep your cynicism to yourself, I just wanted to make a friend.

And I'm a hetero female

>>9937872
I showered daily and changed my shirt and deoderant often, but all it takes is 10 minutes out in the sun to ruin everything and make you smell like rancid sweat again.

>>9937876
Not to be rude, but I always assumed as a female making friends at a con, or in general is easy mode.

>>9937873
This is the first time I've heard of early bird being limited. It used to just be a time frame for 6 weeks after the con for lowest pricing.

>>9937876
someone has to keep the thirsty beta males in line who get one smile from a qt and think its love.

Anyone know the site by the guys selling that ball gaze infinity gauntlet shirt? I really wanted to buy it, but they ran out of Medium sizes that day.

>>9937828
IM LOOKING FOR YOU CIGARETTE BOY.

how much does it cost to attend anime expo, I want to go but I'm on the east coast

would you say its worth the money and trip?

>>9937926
>how much does it cost to attend anime expo,
Depends on for how long you're attending and when you buy your pass. But a lot.
>would you say its worth the money and trip?
Nah

>>9937926
Depends if you have people to go with or not. Especially considering a decent hotel near the convention center you're looking at $900 at least. You could get a cheaper one farther away, but then you need to get a ride back and forth

>>9937871
they limit them in order to make people feel special plus to preserve the benefits of being premiere. sometimes when you get a lot of them together you realize you're not that special though ie. the priority entrances in the morning. premiere, industry, press, staff, and exhibitor, all in the same line.

>>9937926
we had people flying from east coast just for the aquors concert and then going home. it really depends on what your reasons for going are. if all your costs are high but you have the time of your life or you see stuff you wouldn't get to see it's worth it. if you have a shit time, even if it was cheap, it probably wasn't worth it.

>>9936926
Oh, I saw the Jinzo in the elevator. Dude was pretty cool.

>>9937624
You mean the Fate series character cosplayer?

That's pretty great lmao

>>9937932
Truth be told, the shuttle buses were actually quite frequent and were my primary go-to. I did score a tag along on a couple ubers along the way but the shuttle isn't bad if you're forced to use it.

>people actually buy over priced merch from dealers hall
Unless its a AX exclusive or one of the official stores, you are retarded.
>buying a 500Y prize figgie for 40USD
>buying a 300Y doujin for 30USD (USED)

>>9937624
>>9937952
yes to both
she's cute af

>>9937983
>paid $35 a pop to Aniplex for tshirts
>times five
regrets were had

>>9937983
I exclusively bought either AX only merch, or from the official booths. I don't see the point of buying some third party shit that's almost definitely over priced

>>9937985
I feel bad for the people who bought some shit day one just for it to get heavily discounted
>Went by Idea Factory booth
>Bought a bundle deal from them to get a bunch of stuff including an autograph ticket
>Next day I forgot to bring my stuff to get signed, so I got back in line to buy something to get the free art card for them to sign
>Saw that the pixel art neptunia shirts got slashed from $25 to $5 and got one
I can't imagine how shitty that would feel, seeing something get that heavily discounted after buying it.

Also last day I got one of those dangan shirts from the spike chunsoft booth for $23 instead of $30, pretty happy with it

>>9937986
Thats what I am saying, but you see hauls full of it every year.

>>9937991
And like 90% of the random dealers sell mystery boxes, and you see retards buy them every single year.

>>9937993
Well, I expect that of casuals who wait 5 hours for shonen shit like my hero or titan, but you would think your typical 4chan autist wouldnt.

>>9937995
I just don't get it though. It's not like the mystery boxes are cheap. Usually they go for a minimum of $30. With that you could get one or two decent items you actually like from an official booth
