>What did you enjoy?
I cosplayed for the first time ever after vowing to lose weight last year in order to do it. I lost 75lbs and cosplayed as Auron, which people really seemed to enjoy!

I enjoyed just meeting new people, getting my picture taken, and having fun running around buying stuff I didn't need with little to no abandon (Still can't find a Pochaco figure or a Satsuki Figma though)

>What did you hate?
The only panel I cared about was the Gundam anniversy panel and I missed it, which was a bummer. Other than that there were not many panels to speak of. If you looked at the schedule and removed all the cosplay meet ups, it was pretty barren

I also missed the Final Fantasy Cosplay meetup which was a bummer

>Changes you would make next year?

More staff working on the first day in order to keep the lines moving. The first day was really bad, I got lucky by being right by the parking garage when they opened that up for people, but I had to stand out of line to stand on top of a curb so people wouldn't keep tripping on it.

Meal prep is essential. Veteran con goers know what a difference meal prep does. I also do greek yogurt for breakfast. Someone in my crew also makes musubi and onigiri, which pack really well for quick bites in the con.

The Gundam panel was literally nothing. I waited two hours for it and all we got was the 40th anniversary trailer that immediately went on YouTube, and two shitty interviews. After that, literally just a news Roundup of stuff we already knew. Don't feel bad about missing it.

Why is the nightlife at AX so dead.

I get why people from a commuting distance would come to AX, but traveling for these piece of crap?

> Why is AX nightlife dead
Fuck I ask myself this every year! I think
it may have to do with the

- outrageous number of homeless people that wander about at night intimidating people not to roam

- AX not being a 24 hr con anymore and having everything so spaced out in hotels. The Dance only goes until about 2 am I believe, and the shuttles stop at midnight-ish?

- Cops being dicks

- All the surrounding areas of interest closing stupid shit early because of LA's crime rate. LT shuts down mega early for example

It's gotten really bad. I'm from OC just about 40 minutes outside of LA, but every time I'm up in that area, it is getting worse and worse.

I live around the Brea/Fullerton area. I've been going since 2008 (I skipped maybe 3 years in between) and I'm not sure if I'll be back next year. Their line management for panels has gone from bad to worse and I just buy all my weeb shit via proxy from Japan now, so the dealer's hall is kind of pointless.
I only ever really look forward to guests and concerts, and this year fell flat on both counts.

>Will people look down on me if I end up going store bought
Hell no. Everyone starts somewhere and there's no shame in relying on the quality of the professionals to begin your journey. There's other areas where you can experiment and let your talents shine like through prop making, wig styling, or makeup. Don't let other people's opinions stop you from starting to begin with. Have fun!

>I've got plenty of time to learn how to sew, but I have zero experience with it at all
Are you me from the past? I started sewing after last year's AX and spent from December/January going from zero experience with a machine or making garments to making a full dress for AX. The days and months leading up to the con were filled with stress and it affected my mood (and stamina) leading up to the con. I could have had such a better time if I had used patterns or waited until I felt confident enough with a machine to approach costume making. I definitely suggest waiting and learning to sew first without the pressure. Please learn from my mistakes. Also: find a character you love enough to carry you through the times you're burnt out and ready to give up. It takes a lot of time, effort, and money, but wearing the finished costume is a hell of a feeling. Don't let my message deter you from trying at all, just go into it wiser than I was.

Yeah, the homeless problem has gotten too much out of hand. I've been a local here my whole life and this year was the first time ever that I've almost gotten in a fight with a homeless dude in little Tokyo.
Got mad at me for only giving him 50 cents because that's all the change I had and starts to press me for more and name calling me and getting in my face. Also doesn't help I was hung over.

Making a prop sounds fun, but my ideas for it are way too ambitious to make a reality I think. I was thinking it would be cool to make a gun with a speaker in it, that plays the theme from the anime when you pull the trigger.

I've already learned it's not worth giving them anything. They're almost never grateful for any of it, and more often than not the money isn't going towards feeding them but is going to booze/drugs.
My grandma used to always stop by a nearby mcdonalds and get them a sandwich or a $5-$10 gift card so they could eat, but most of them tried asking for money instead. Some appreciated it, but way too many of them look at your kind gesture and simply want more

The Aqours concert was pretty fun. I have been bullied before for my physical appearance and thus consider myself to be pretty unattractive, so having people come up to me and ask me for pictures was nice.

The convention center was overcrowded, and volunteers were huge assholes. I went to the con alone and thus just wandered around lonely all weekend, but that's on me for being a friendless autist. Also the Novo fucking sucks.
>>Changes you would make next year?
Either cap attendees or move to a different venue, in addition to organizing everything better and training the volunteers to some degree. Greedily, I would like sooner announcements for the musical guests and whatnot since the Aqours concert was the most enjoyable part of the convention for me and I would like to know whose all coming before spending $1k+ to fly out, get a hotel, and pay for the con in the hope some fun concert/concerts make the convention actually worth attending for me

I haven't had a bad experience when I tell people I buy them. In fact, one girl told me I did a good job with my cosplay, told her I bought and then said "It looks really good on you" which somehow felt like a nicer compliment.

It's absolutely possible if you can engineer it the right way.

Don't ever give them money. It's such bullshit.

I actually cannot sympathize at all with beggars on the street with kids. If they actually cared they would take their kids to child protective services and say they aren't financially stable enough to care for the child.

Oh well. At least I actually talked to people this year. And I'm so surprised how friendly people were at the Fakku party. I ended up talking to maybe a dozen or more people, and they were buying me drinks.
I was pretty surprised when a 30 year old bulma cosplayer joined me after everyone else left my table. She brought her friends and a tequila shot for me to do with all of them. They left pretty shortly afterwards, but it was really nice

It especially works if you have premier and are willing to waste your hour early access to make some cash and help out people who are worried what they want will sell out.

Also a general tip, if you're afraid of something selling out, you can always approach someone near the front of the line and offer them some cash if they pick an item up for you. I got my JoJo pin before they sold out by offering to give a guy $20 so he'd buy me the $12 pin and he could keep the change

2nd time attending AX

Pros
>Lots of shopping available
>A lot of screenings/premieres
>Good panels from the industry

Negative
>Insane food price markups
>Layout of areas (lineups for panels being outside was not made clear, autograph section/random booths taking up half the hall, leaving AA to be flooded)
>Linecon Day 1 (avoided this with industry badge, but holy hell I feel for everyone else)
>Game room lacking (I miss the one year with the CS 1.6 LAN party)
>Lines for any major panels
>Lack of any nightlife events
>Lack of community driven panels, all very professional this year
>Lack of major musical guests (Otaquest excluded as that's outside of AX)

I really suggest they do a capped preregistration lottery for panels ahead of time and then have an overflow line. Have lottery tickets locked to their phone app. I'm sure this will ease a lot of lineups

I enjoyed AX but I prefer the more grassroots nature of cons like Anime North.

Camera only has one orientation. When you rotate your device, your screen may rotate with it, but the physical hardware camera is the same rotation. There are two solutions for rotating the image. One is to modify the image so it has the correct orientation. For lossy image containers, every transformation including a rotation brings a loss in quality. The second solution is to keep the image data the same and add an orientation metadata. This keeps the quality intact, but when something strips metadata (for example, uploading to sites sometimes remove metadata to remove location coordinates and such), you lose the orientation metadata and end up with pictures that are sideways or upside down. Most solutions prefer the latter, thus you have sideways and upside down pictures.

It wasn't scary but you gotta remember its the largest in the last 20 years right? Both were also pretty shallow.
The first one was medium sized fairly large for a precursor . Shut down elevator service for like an hour. Then it was fine for like a day. The second a 7.1 well I was in the Wilshire Grand//intercontinental and it made amazing cracking noises and our whole floor swayed back and forth. Pretty much everyone in my room at the time decided to voluntarily be evacuated. We all came out of our room. Apparently everyone else on our floor too afterwards and we all looked around at eachother and were like "ya'll okay? Cool let's gtfo!" So down nearly 40 flights of stairs .
These may have taken down the pressure on one fault but also put pressure on another. :/ California citizens are used to smaller quakes like 5 pointers not the big ones that snap overpasses . They are also not on average prepared to be without utilities for more than a few days. The big one when it happens is going to be a goddamn mess.

I didn’t think I would freak out as much as I did when the second one hit. I was standing in line to get in when the first one struck Thursday, but the second hit while me and a friend were in the hotel room. My body went into panic mode and all I could think was “guess this is how I die” as we crawled under the desk. I’ve lived in California my whole life so it was really freaky that I got that scared.

Wasn't too scary just the creaking of the building was unnerving. I did some research it is apparently supposed to make that sound with the internal rolling bands that they have. It's a pretty cool modern engineering feat. Yet I know being in the middle it takes on a lot of extra stresses from the weight of the building and the shaking of the earth below. They had a lot of things to figure out to prevent a critical failure because of its height

Surprisingly a lot of the panels were good despite what /cgl/ were moaning about just weeks prior to it all.
Nice premiers to look forward to, interesting information behind development for the most part and you can never get enough free stuff
>What did you hate?
The lines obviously, the sheer amount of people stuffed into the expo, making it hard to walk around and people standing literally in the middle of a flow of people, talking or otherwise, making everything slow down even further and fat people walking like snails but too big to walk around as on the other side people are walking in the opposite direction
>Changes you would make next year?
I'd open up photo areas for cosplayers that only want to have their picture taken by everyone, away from paths people use to get around, West hall (was it?) was flooded with cosplayers clogging the space for people to get to the exhibit
I know there was one with sceneries in the entertainment hall but it seemed not too used compared to the hallway where people need to get through.
Why was the area near Marriott hotel blocked off, literally a perfect spot to be outside and take pictures, open and not in the way.

I liked being able to shop from Metamorphose directly! I didn't think I would get this opportunity.

The panels I went to were enjoyable thankfully.

>What did you hate?
Hate is a bit of a strong word, but I was disappointed getting standby tickets and then hearing the "no standby tickets today" line for autographs. I completely understand and didn't kick up a fuss but it is still disappointing.

I also hate the fact that shuttle bus 3 goes to Little Tokyo. I am from SoCal and can drive up there when I want to, so it sucked to have to wait in long lines for the shuttle service I paid for because there were people who wanted to go to Little Tokyo.

I understand if they are traveling and want to see more of LA while they are there, but I wish there was a shuttle specifically for Little Tokyo.

>Changes you would make next year?
I've been going to AX for a long ass time and still don't plan things well. I really have to sit down and plan out the panels and autographs I want to get next year and make a time line and schedule.

Side note, the earthquake didn't hit the area we were in too badly but it was funny seeing people freaking out about it.

Downtown LA is dead at night due to crime or homeless.

It isn't Las Vegas.

That is why I always thought maybe Anime Expo should move to San Diego or Anaheim which should be nicer than downtown although admittedly I have no idea what night time life is like in San Diego or Anaheim.

Anime Expo, abbreviated AX, is an American anime convention held in Los Angeles, California and organized by the non-profit Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (SPJA)

Possibly because SPJA is getting worst and worst

I think a corporate run event might be run better rather than a non profit like SPJA

More and more Japanese are leaving California, sadly. Japanese auto companies like Toyota and Honda left California which is bad news because Japanese companies in Japan prefer investing in areas with a lot of Japanese.

So yeah, cities famous for Japanese presence like Torrance lost some big Japanese companies.

And not many people in this thread know but Texas will be the first US State to have a genuine Japanese bullet train. Texas Central Railway is the name.

Why don't more states do this? Other states choose German or French companies instead.

The benefit of choosing Japan is Japan has national pride so Japan would be embarrassed very hard over exporting bad Japanese trains so even the Japanese government is helping Texas with the first exported Japanese bullet train in America.

Irvine is mainly Chinese and Korean.

Rowland Heights is Taiwanese.

In Southern California, Torrance is historically Japanese but the Japanese companies are taking their Japanese employees to other states like Texas.

So, I've got a very specific situation to rant about, but I think it speaks a lot about how AX likes to operate. I've been a music performer with AX specifically for 4 years now, and we're pretty tight with a lot of the other musicians in the anime circuit. The consensus is,that AX treats musical guests like crap.
Specifically for this year, they were not willing to pay and did not want to give passes. They were expecting performers to work, and only gain an access badge for that single day. In addition, they were not promoting the community stage acts in any way (program, online, or app)

They weren't offering payment, alternative compensation (badges) or even promotion. Yet they expected us to fling ourselves at the opportunity?

We've done business with them multiple times, and one of the huge issues that comes to a show involves parking. Especially with a full band including drums, amps, guitars, and people. Year after year, they tell us that they only have one unloading pass, and that you can't park in the loading zone. For this reason alone, a few bands have stopped even considering AX as a performance location.
Our usual route, means we're in our hotel getting ready about 5-hours to showtime, drive to the venue to unload, park the car somewhere bfe because parking is full, uber in, go through line con hell (because they don't give industry passes), setup and do sound check, perform for an hour, tear down, uber back to your car, load in, then drive back to the hotel to unload because we have over $10,000 of gear that AX refuses to store, and we can't leave in a hot car in dtla.

I understand that fan-run events and performances aren't necessarily a huge highlight when it comes to the type of draw and guests that AX is able to bring, but small cons offer so much more. For the money AX makes, they can afford to pay their performers, they can hire staff instead of volunteers.
The corners they cut are unreasonable and it shows.

I was gonna say fair, but I just scrolled through and saw none of the community stage performers. They had a post for lounge 21 not specifying who the act was, and it looks like they posted a lineup on one of their landing pages.
I think my biggest gripe was not even being included in the app. My personal gripe with attending is im a huge music fan, and was bored out of my mind. When I finally found something and walked halfway across America, the panel was full, yet there were events happening in the entertainment hall all day that nobody knew about.
I'm just baffled by it.

Linecon sucked ass but I also cosplayed for the first time in probably 7 years, and I hosted a gathering last minute and people actually showed up, so I'm happy. I crunched that costume in 10 days, but it was worth it.

>This $190-million expansion includes 100,000 square foot of carpeted column-free multi-purpose space, with north-facing windows and movable airwalls which can create a variety of meeting room layout options. There is a climate controlled pedestrian connection between the ACC North and the existing convention center. The recent developments can be used for exhibit, ballroom or meeting space, increasing flexibility and allowing the convention center to accommodate a wider variety of event projects.

Anaheim Convention is now 1.8 million square feet, officially joining the ranks of the “1-million-square-foot club” list of facilities in the U.S. that offer more than one million square feet of exhibit space.

Took 4 years for Anaheim Convention Center to expand and funny because Anime Expo's contract to LA according to Wikipedia expires in 2019.

https://mynewsla.com/life/2015/06/23/anime-expo-stays-at-l-a-convention-center-5-more-years/

Anime Expo's contract with LA Convention Center expires at the end of 2019.

Anaheim finished their expansion in the year 2018 of last year.

This makes Anaheim Convention Center the new largest convention center in California because San Diego and Los Angeles are still arguing over whether or not they should expand their convention centers too.

Before the millennium, Toyota used to be in Long Beach because not enough factories were created in America to build Japanese cars.

So Japan used to ship cars to Long Beach and from there, Toyota cars spread to the rest of America.

Hi Hi! Security Analyst here , AX's massive lines are a literal "babys first terror" target. While the arena has bollards and other objects to protect it from the "Truck of Peace" (even though in THEORY a car with garage access could reverse approach and hit a bunch of kids), the huge lines and massive concentration of people are massive bomb targets, one basic bomb (thanks fucking ISIL you have taught every incel, idiot and jackass how to make decent explosives), could cause hundreds of deaths from stampeds alone. Their metal detectors are a joke because my camera bag got searched... once in this weeked meaning any weeb who hates people could smuggle in a gun. This is how I can tell you don't know actual security (there is a reason why high profile airports like LGA in New York City make you check your bag AT the drop off point).

I had a standard camera bag. Most modern camera bags have 2 compartments. In 4 days they asked me to open up the back portion (Ie the large zippered portion that is on your back) once, while the front portion which opens like a traditional backpack was searched every time.

Hell, my belt and steel toed boots cleared every time. They asked me to roll up my pant legs ONCE (easily hide a small gun or knife there), and it would be utterly trivial to conceal a basic gun in thick pants or cosplay (I just thank God nerds aren't fundamentally hateful). You could just have the weapon parts in pieces and assemble them inside in a stall and begin your attack.

The security was meant to stop the lowest of low tier idiots the guy who gets a negative high score as the dank kids say.

Remember, if I, a lazy jerk who just wanted to get in as fast as possible found these flaws, someone actively looking to harm people would find ,ore.

its ok AX will clamp down on the hole by stationing one security guard actually watching the doors next year. last year I was able to go through the west parking side door for a day until they realized that people could get in that way and put someone there. this year it was the priority entrance.

convention center staff get paid. those are the ones working for companies like staffpro so they belong to the convention center and AX is basically renting them. AX volunteers are not paid (badge reimbursement mainly, maybe lodging) but higher up ones might get paid.

I imagine that it's mostly people who don't know any better volunteering. Thinking that it gets them an in, and people might think their cool for being "staff" at AX.
That or it's people who get off on being control freaks telling people what the can or can't do. Also maybe older guys who want an excuse to go and check out cosplayers without outing themselves as the middleaged guy checking out teens/young adults

volunteering AX at the bottom level (line control) is for the people who don't have any money. most of them have probably never been to AX or they wouldn't be walking into a volunteer role. there are some volunteers who actually do give a shit and know what's going on as they're returners but you will only find a few of those on the frontlines and they're probably going to be section leads

Aqours Day 1. I've always wanted to die in a small venue with fellow idol weebs but in all seriousness it was great.

My Lego UMP-45 getting surprise reactions and it not collapsing somehow for Girls Frontline gathering. Also my hair brush broke somehow

>>What did you hate?
Lack of musical guests and while probably outside AX's control, ESPN being dicks and closing off most of the Microsoft Square where they only worked on the outside on Sunday.

>>Changes you would make next year?
Telling everyone to fuck off and claim the Microsoft Theater and the MS Square, more guests, better line control for everyone.

only way they could perma you is if you were dumb enough to give them your ID so they could blacklist your name and address in the system. you can fix it by using a name that's just off by a couple of letters (or make up a middle name) and use a friend's address to have it shipped to. get it from your friend and if you have any problems at con your name is still on your ID. use a different form of payment because they might have blacklisted your card too but i really doubt it.

Part of me is burnt out creatively from this year's costume so I might go with something that I can easily put together like Tohru Honda (I already have the shoes and socks), but I know that I'd have major fomo if I didn't attempt something handmade again since my friends are going to be attempting cosplay (or better cosplay) next year so I'm in a bit of a pickle.
