It was pretty tiny this year only one room and almost no stalls. Dealer friend of mine ended up losing money big time from it as it seems attendance was also way down.

What the actual fuck happened to Hyper Japan? I bought a weekend ticket because the July event was phenomenal but it was an actual mess. A literal third of the size as summer, a handful of acts for the main stage, and a tiny bunch of stalls which were mostly packed with obvious bootlegs. How the fuck did that even happen?

>> No.10048187

>>10048091
Costs go up. Venue gets more expensive, insurance or whatever organisers attempt to downsize but unit costs still high for traders etc. Most people buy tat online now if at all. If it’s based in London you have china town to compete with and they sell bootlegs openly. It’s not cost effective to try and compete so they also just sell bootlegs at HJ too.

If you aren’t going for the culture/food/friends then the tat is less of a draw. But you could just as easily meet up with your friends “for free” so no need to go either.

Credit where it's due for Beth, she blew the whistle on a commissioner who was ripping off a lot of people.

That's shitty and all but it's ancient in terms of news and beating a dead horse. She took herself off the market as a commissioner two years ago at least and I don't believe she's competed with anything bought in that time either, let alone won anything with the rushed messes she does manage to make.
The last noteworthy thing she did was fall off a stage mid-performance and I found that hysterical.

I'm all for having a good ass kick of someone who really deserves it but she hasn't done anything worth talking about recently. It's like bringing up that EmoEmu girl who pretended to have cancer years ago. It's not adding anything to the conversation. Though I suppose I can't really blame anyone for having to dig up old things because the British Comm is well and truly dead at the moment.

My next con is hopefully going to be insomnia64, both me and my bf are quite curious about it. Is it any good? I'm skipping most of the MCM cons this year anyways and I can't be asked to go to cosxpo. If I don't end up going to insomnia64 then my next con will probably be colossalcon

I'm hoping that before June I can make a bowsette cosplay (the red hair dress version) hopefully people won't think I'm just following the bowsette hype trend. I'm also making a mermaid cosplay and a shy guy girl cosplay.

That's the thing I originally knew three people who joined that I thought would be so dedicated in staying (since I'm pretty sure they're part of AL) but then they all left because of how mistreated they were being. And now I have 4-5 friends who joined and is part of it....

Sad thing is that one of the maids wanted to be a maid for years and was applying for these other good maid cafes but she kept on getting rejected. So then she joined this one that was pretty shit and didn't do anything... She then left that one to join arcadia, I can't believe she would stoop down this low to be part of a maid cafe...

But anyways I'm still pretty curious on what the cafe is like so yeah I going to check it out just for fun.

I guess the logical next step on running a poor three day event is to make it a four day event. And let me guess, dealers will face trading laws so they can only trade the weekend again too.

I'm fully aware they're in Midlands territory, but Kita's name indicates 'north'.
I remember when Ame took place at Keele and people got their knickers in a twist because it was too far north by their standards. I suppose to Londoners anything outside of London tends to be considered to be 'the north'. Quite a few people I know who live there don't venture outside because it's too far so they'd rather stick with the shitty cons.

It's a shame because it's all done up now and looks really nice (I'm local and my boyfriend had a job interview there some time after the work was done) I kind of wish Cosxpo snapped it up because it would be dope for a photoshoot orientated con.
The surrounding areas and towns have also been undergoing a restoration too so it's just nicer to live in. They even have a place that does bubble tea and those bubble waffles that deliver! I really hope a con can give it another shot and maybe try to make panel rooms a little closer to each other.

I'm going to try and get by and make my cosplays for next year throughout 2019.

It's alright, the ECG finals are definitely worth a watch and there are some cool panels in the new cosplay masterclass thing they started doing, and if you're into the esports scene there's a lot around that, but as the other anon said it's very, very crowded, the heat is a lot because everything is in one giant warehouse type place under the july sun, there's almost nowhere to go outside and take a breather except a tiny central courtyard that's instantly overcrowded and a bit of concrete between the main building and the building where the big scene is. It's far from any hotels, and once you're out you can't come back for the day. My grandma only lives about an hour of train from the con center so it's easy for me to go but I wouldn't travel from abroad and pay for a hotel. Unless you want to meet a specific guest, see a concert within the con or enter the ECG I'd save my money. I definitely like MCM London a lot better.

The maids in Hanami were the most recent hires, and basically (like most western maid cafes) were in it to feel kawaii and close to glorious nippon so service sucked. Meian has the maids with more experience and a more cohesive theme and outfits.

Sweet Cupcake was enjoyable, they did some stand alone events that weren’t affiliated with con that were pretty fun.

Look at Sonia Leong’s post from Monday.
Short version is that the guy who runs guilty of it was found guilty of sexual misconduct and cautioned for battery a while ago, she acknowledged that maybe he had changed though. But then he decided to make a page selling pitchforks and sent it her directly. (They’re not real pitchforks obviously but it’s still very petty and tells me that he hasn’t matured.)

If the 'inside drama' is that andre is a creep grooming teenage girls, that's 100% accurate. Stay well away. Can't say I'm surprised, this is the third open sex offender on anime league staff that I know of and that's as someone who doesn't even go to their events.

>> No.10111388

Arcadia have posted screenshots. Andre was flirting with one of the maids and then for some reason he was treating them so he's been dropped from Arcadia. They've cancelled the event. I've had my own experience with Andre where he had messaged me and I'd never met him before. He knew of a con I was going to and asked me for a drink. It gave me creepy vibes

Andre would always tell me I was like the son he'd never had (despite being a trans person and thus not a man) and it always made me a little uncomfortable. I left Arcadia when I realised I was wasting my time trying to work with someone who was oblivious to his own shortcomings and refused to improve his own cafe that he'd already sunk a fuckload of money into. I realised if I wanted to be doing maid shit seriously I'd be better off not just hanging around Arcadia for some 'epic whacky joke' because watching him flounder in his own incompetence was frankly too much to bear.

He'd buy alcohol for the maids who were mostly 17 at the time which always seemed a little sketchy (a man in his mid-thirties supplying alcohol to children is a little unbecoming, to say the least). One time I was really drunk after he'd bought us all drinks and I made the mistake of accepting a kiss on the lips from him, felt really disgusted afterwards and the second time he tried it I just 360 and walked away.

While he's not a child rapist he's creepy in the same way that Vic Mceggnog is, he's very touchy and likes kissing where it's not exactly appropriate. An example of this is where he bought alcohol for the maids and played a 'hickey circle' game with them. Thankfully I left the room before this happened but I'd seen pictures of where Andre had marked one of the maids.

Oh, and he threatened to show up at one of the maid's houses when he got really mad after he cancelled the next event because everyone was sick of his bullshit. If you're quick you might be able to see the screenshots that one of the maids posted of a recent argument where he generally acts like a bit of a manchild.

I think anyone is capable of changing, Andre just needs to stop getting frustrated when he does shit wrong and learn from his mistakes like someone who isn't a cum filled Cro-Magnon.

In fairness that happened one time & honestly from a bit of insider knowledge they kinda dodged a bullet, guests were being a nightmare last minute, asking for extra things then made up really really lame excuses.

Everyone's going against the maids when they forget this is all because of Andre and his butt-buddy Martin.

I swear what's with all this maid drama happening, maybe this should be on a maid thread instead. Anyways I think the problem here is mainly of what happens behind the scenes of all these cafes.

Isn’t any action they can take? Maybe I’m just dumb but surely there must be something they can do, even if it’s just assuring this seller that the bootleg sellers won’t be welcome back next time?

Kupocon is gaining traction and have an event in September. They have pretty good support in their artist alleys,but you'll need to sell at least a few Final Fantasy pieces.
Ame and Kita aren't running this year but they're the ones most people would recommend.

NTAYRT but I think they meant they allow their cosplay guests to join in, not specifically the guests judging.

But is it a problem if a guest (not judge) takes part? I probably wouldn’t care much but I’m curious to hear what everyone else thinks about it.

They're often paid to be there, where others buy a ticket.
it's like they've won the lottery without buying a ticket, they've not put any money into the prize pot but get to win it.

tho I'd love to see a guest enter and not win.

Alright as long as its not dead or anything awful I mean even alcon would be fine for me at this point. anyone been here before then? train drops off from liverpool lime street.

apparently I can walk and take an underground train(and waste more money/wait/get mugged) and itll take 19 minutes.

but walking there from lime street is.. 22 minutes, so I assume I should just walk there unless its raining hard?
