I have enough in savings

No dedicated AX fund jar but this year seems boring af so I won't be spending much anyway

Don't need PTO approval if you don't have a job :') pleasehireme

I have no motivation to start working on cosplay
>Cosplay Day 0/1/2/3 plans?
Fate and ff14. Casual shit the other days

I'll likely go to Otaquest and Aqours though I'm not excited for either
>What are your dream guests?
Sawano Hiroyuki, Aimer, Radwimps, Bang Dream, Revue Starlight. I only ever go to AX for the concerts nowadays
>What are your dream events?
Concerts I actually care about

Exhibit hall (though I don't plan on buying anything). Try not to melt in the heat. Get drunk. Maybe get Sayori's autograph
>Are you going to the Aqours concert? If so, you gotten your tickets? If you’re not premiere, are you having a nervous breakdown right now?
I hope I can get a ticket since there's not much else to do but ultimately I no longer care about LL so more power to the bigger fans that manage to get tickets

Most of the “seats” aren’t seats. There are a few general balcony seats left but the majority of the remaining tickets are for the GA standing area which is a big open floor behind the pit. So anyone who wants to actually sit down during the concert will need to be fast on general sale day.

I just refreshed my memory by looking at the GoH autograph schedule from last year and the only names I recognized were Go Nagai, Mari Okada, and two of the guys from Trigger that come to AX all the time (SUSHIO and Koyama). Honestly, the most impressive guests last year were brought through other companies and not AX as GoH...Yuji Horii, Akiman, Yui Horie, Yuki Kaji, Kumo Kagyu, etc. And most of them were announced in June.

So we still might get some cool guests, just don’t expect them to be AX GoH (and therefore getting an autograph will likely not be an organized or easy process).

Now you know how Yuki Kaji fans felt last year. It’s kind of a slap in the face that the biggest seiyuu are only brought over as part of a promotional stint for something specific instead of getting their own panel and autograph session. When was the last time AX brought over a high profile seiyuu as their own guest? Junichi Suwabe in fucking 2016?

Agreed. Fanime had a fucking horrible guests list this year and it was still better because it included Toshihiro Kawamoto. Mamoru Miyano means nothing because he'll be sitting onstage in the stupidly massive Hall B in a 20 minute Q&A, probably impossible to get autographs from, and only there for UtaPri.

Got my tickets already! GA floor day 1, VIP floor day 2. It’s the main reason I planned to come to AX (I know I’m a loser, don’t have to remind me)

Buying a ton of shit at AA, Celebrate the best characters birthday with friends, and just enjoy my first AX. I am going to Disney and stuff after the con too so excited for the vacation in general.
>Are you going to the Aqours concert? If so, you gotten your tickets? If you’re not premiere, are you having a nervous breakdown right now?

>You saving up for the con?
No need to. I always have enough put away for conventions and vacations.

Fine. 3k is my limit, although I doubt I'll hit that when I get to AX.

Hospital bills spooked me, but it's all dandy.

>What concerts do you wanna see at AX this year now that Anisong World Matsuri isn’t coming this year?
Don't really care much too much for concerts. Am going to Otaquest, but that's separate from AX.
>What are your dream guests?
ZUN, Go Nagai, Aoi Yūki, Jun Fukuyama. Got too many, so I'm unreasonable
>What are your dream events?
Cool guests is all I really want... maybe a season 2 confirmation for GBF since Cygames is going all out with Versus and Relink
>What’s your plans?
Gunpla panels and world championship, nigga. Get some exclusive kits and prowl the AA. Just chill with friends. Hopefully get to play GBF Versus demos since we're close to release. Hit up the J-List booth to get a picture with Kaho Shibuya in every different costume she has.
>Are you going to the Aqours concert? If so, you gotten your tickets? If you’re not premiere, are you having a nervous breakdown right now?
Caught them last year since my sister really wanted to go before she shipped out, but I'm not the biggest LL fan so I'd feel odd going. Good luck to people who are into it though. Hopefully you get to see them even if they're down one.

Honestly just go to the room two/three panels before TRIGGER and you have a good seat to sit on until it starts, keep moving forward between panels ending. Might be a panel you'll like as well.

It's been the same crew of volunteers running it for the last 7 years as a matter of fact. This year however every single one of them were kicked off the boat and presumably whoever is running it now hasn't the slightest idea what they're doing (they finally opened up submissions weeks after they hold the deadline)

For those who'd like a bit of reading, the ex-head of the department made a post about it on the AX AMV forum thread, but the takeaway here is that even if they manage to get a contest or viewing room going, prepare for a guaranteed dumpster fire of a train wreck.

My spending allowance was $100 one year. I actually ended up going under and spending the last $20 on more food. There's plenty to do that's "free" (aka included in ticket price). Whether that $300 includes ticket price or not, it's possible to have a good time. It just means you really have to watch your spending. I'd definitely suggest packing a lunch or eating outside of the convention center in your situation.

Aiming to have about $1800 to fuck around with just in case. That includes $500 going toward the hotel though.

Told my boss "I'm going to America for a week in July, here is my flight information." He had no choice but to say yes.
>Any setbacks so far until the con?
Not sure how I'm going to fit my Uraraka boots in my bag and I'm worried about them getting squished or broken. Really not looking forward to a ten hour flight to LA too. Kind of pissed off that they've barely announced any anime related guests yet. I thought this was an ANIME Expo? Not a street art, Japan-worshiping, idol shit, gamer expo. This is my first big anime con and I'm so confused.
>Cosplay Day 0/1/2/3 plans?
I'm doing Uraraka Hero Version, school uniform, and maybe streetwear. Not sure which days I'm gonna do each though.
>What are your dream guests?
Someone related to anime???? Please? And not dead anime from the early 2000s but something actually relevant. Anyone. Please.
>What are your dream events?
I really love the parties, but I hate the people who show up to them, so my pipedream is a 21+ throwback anime music nightclub where they give everyone a sniff check and an appearance check like at a real club, and if you look or smell gross you can't come in. Last con I went to I saw a conga line and people doing limbo at the rave. Wat.
>What’s your plans?
Put together a spreadsheet with my friends! We're all adding the panels we want to see to the list and we have reservations for dinner each night. I'm really looking forward to seeing people I haven't seen in a few years and enjoying some of the industry panels.

You think stuff like this would be a problem? Are they going to open it and demand it not be alcohol?

I've been going to cons in the Atlanta area for years from small cons to massive ones like Dragoncon. Never had any issues.

I think the new security guidelines AX posted a few weeks ago said that reusable bottles were okay, but they had to be clear/empty when entering (they have filtered water stations inside).

>>10184968
Outside food is allowed as long as it isn't in 'bulk.' Idk what that means but they told someone they wouldn't be able to bring an outside order from Starbucks to several people stuck at their AA tables.

for easiest results hide it in an out of the way pocket of your bag
the checkers are being paid minimum wage and have hundreds of people to go through so they aren't going to check that well
yes, that's 99% percent of what is making you safe at the con.

Is the lineup for Otaquest this year worth it? Aside from kyary they’re all artists I’m not familiar with. Their music isn’t bad but don’t know if it’s worth the $60-$70 base ticket when I don’t have any friends to go with.

>> No.10185339

>>10185311
I only know one kyary song so no interest in otaquest here. I’m amazed they even came back after how poorly last year’s otaquest sold (heard they were giving tickets away for free day of just to fill seats).

So not sure I believe that AWM Kawaii Live is gone due to low sales when Otaquest sold way less (despite cheaper tickets) and is somehow back in the MS theater. The fact they’re in the big theater but Aqours isn’t means someone at AX fucked up their concerts big time, so hoping whoever is responsible is not allowed to handle any con events in the future.

They might appear at opening to say hi but besides that probably perform and leave. If they were going to do a panel they would have announced it.

They will probably do interviews with a few outlets like last year

Going to echo the other anon but seriously if you're not coming to ax with an actual purpose or reason you should skip ax. Why pay hundreds of dollars and cross the country just to hang around with people you will never see again? If you want to just fly out to chill then go to fanime or ALA
