Didn’t get mine yet but gonna go anyway
>yfw when you saw that AX is kill?

>How are you holding up after the news?
The quarantine cancelled out the pain and anguish
>What’s your plan with your AX fund jar now that AX is kill?
If I get my job back, get some games but most of it will go to Rent/vacation plan B (if there is one with my friends). If not, mostly rent.
>You still going to use your approved work PTO meant for AX?
My friends might have a backup plan but thats TBD.
>What were your cosplay day 0/1/2/3/4 plans?
Mostly casual, but I had plans to make a cosplay for Patrick Star from the Spongebob Musical.
>horror/uplifting/memorable stories and shit you regret doing (or not doing) from last year’s AX
Not really.
>What do you think should be compensation during this year’s AX (exclusive merch from big booths like Crunchyroll, Kotobukiya, Altus selling their merch online during the days where AX would’ve been and etc.)?
Online stores like Crunchyroll, Funimation, Atlus selling their exclusive swag meant for AX would be nice. Genuinely curious on how they’ll handle AX’s 2020 official merch now that AX2020 is kill

>Did you transfer your badge to 2021?
Is there a way to do that yet? The cancellation notice said there would be more information to come, but didn't cite a way to do it yet. I will be though.
>yfw when you saw that AX is kill?
<-
>How are you holding up after the news?
Fine. I knew it was coming, so the blow wasn't so hard. I'm more depressed about other things in my life at the moment. Also my cosplay wasn't nearly as finished as it was supposed to be so I avoided that disappointment on the horizon.
>What’s your plan with your AX fund jar now that AX is kill?
I definitely know that I'm going to go big in 2021, but haven't figured out a new budget yet. My summer job is on the rocks, so focusing on finding a different source of income for it is my top priority atm.
>You still going to use your approved work PTO meant for AX?
Depends if I have a job to file PTO to, I suppose. But if I do, then no. I'd prefer to make as much money as possible during the short season I work.
>What were your cosplay day 0/1/2/3/4 plans?
Maid Mew Ichigo from Tokyo Mew Mew. I had planned it early in January before the news of the new anime and spinoff hit, but now I'm extra excited to finish it. I'd like to start planning a new costume for next year since I don't need to worry about making a halloween costume and have much more time to plan now though.
>horror/uplifting/memorable stories and shit you regret doing (or not doing) from last year’s AX
I'll add it in a separate comment.
>What do you think should be compensation during this year’s AX (exclusive merch from big booths like Crunchyroll, Kotobukiya, Altus selling their merch online during the days where AX would’ve been and etc.)?
Some sales would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath.
>And more importantly, what will you miss the most about Anime Expo? Especially those who fly / road trip to LA.
Seeing people in cosplay and being seen. Buying merch from my fave artists and discovering new ones.

On my way to get food, I walked by a young girl who LOVED my shitty Princess Tutu costume. Even though I saw all of the flaws in it, she had such a big smile on her face and told me how amazing I looked. She asked her mom for a picture of me, so I asked for one of her too. We happened to see each other while in another area of the convention and this kid practically jumped into the air to wave to me. It really warmed my heart desu, she was so sweet.

>>yfw when you saw that AX is kill?
>mfw no running around in costume with a crowd of magnificent faggots this year
>>How are you holding up after the news?
My disappointment is immeasurable etc, last year was lacking in good merch/concerts/guests/money and I wanted to go all-out this year.
>>What’s your plan with your AX fund jar now that AX is kill?
My AX money is mostly for the Artist Alley, I'll go through Storenvy and Etsy for the niche merch I usually buy like candles or terrariums. My favorite purchases are usually surprise items that I wouldn't have looked for at all, though.
>>You still going to use your approved work PTO meant for AX?
Nah, the 4th is on a Saturday, too.
>>What were your cosplay day 0/1/2/3/4 plans?
It was still too early, but was probably going to be Phos and Byleth.
>>horror/uplifting/memorable stories and shit you regret doing (or not doing) from last year’s AX
Biggest regret is missing the MOGRA event because the friend I went with was too tired to wait in line. Biggest disappointment was Mega64's panel, they usually do some stupid shit like the year that they did Truth or Dare and a man got tackled to the floor. It was just a Q&A.
>>What do you think should be compensation during this year’s AX?
GSC keeps selling less and less exclusives every year. AX could probably try to release some of the panels/concerts from previous years.
>>And more importantly, what will you miss the most about Anime Expo? Especially those who fly / road trip to LA.
The atmosphere, I love that moment when you walk into the main hall on day one and hear the hum of activity in there. Other than that, I'm going to miss the concerts, cosplaying/meeting other people from the same series, the four days of feasting on based LA food with friends, watching/bitching about the AMV contest while half-asleep,
and generally enjoying the escape from my problems for four days.

AX used to have two or even three popular bands for different demographics. The same year that they had Morning Musume, they also had Moi dix Mois. They must be doing something different with the concert bookings because it's been a slow decline and when AKFG toured in 2016, they did it independently.

>Guests
Mamoru Miyano was a god-tier guest, it was just shitty that he didn't get his own panel. Trigger has been there every single year since they formed, they love AX/LA.

I'm hoping that the extra year will get them back on track. Unlikely, though, because of how fucked they probably are on money.

i work nights and wish i could have stayed up later but my fucked sleep schedule didnt let me. also i wish i had more friends who cared about industry shit to get excited with me.

live streams with industry from nippon would be nice. maybe some sort of leycharm or something sent to anyone who was set to attend.
>more importantly, what will you miss the most about Anime Expo? Especially those who fly / road trip to LA.
its my one time a year i really go out and have fun. im local but its still a manic five days I get to see industry, animators, directors, artists and really try and show how excited i am to watch their imaginations. I love getting up early and waiting in line for signatures with other die hard fans, running into exciting people randomly in the halls or at a booth unexpectedly, getting comission from artists alley on the fly from artists id never seen before, living off danger dogs, merch i wouldnt normally buy

>>What’s your plan with your AX fund jar now that AX is kill?
depends. If my job brings me back instead of firing me before July I'll probably save half and spend the rest in opening up a home darkroom. If not It's all going towards living expenses.
>>You still going to use your approved work PTO meant for AX?
Assuming I'm back to work by then no. I'd rather stay home and work but add an extra week off at the end of the year when I go visit my parents.
>>What were your cosplay day 0/1/2/3/4 plans?
I was gonna dress up as a platelet on one day and as Kazuma another. didn't have anything else figured out yet.
>>horror/uplifting/memorable stories and shit you regret doing (or not doing) from last year’s AX
I regret letting my alcoholism getting the best of me to the point that I skipped day 4 cause I was too hung over. Most of all I regret not buying more stuff in the artist alley and more ero doujins
>>What do you think should be compensation during this year’s AX (exclusive merch from big booths like Crunchyroll, Kotobukiya, Altus selling their merch online during the days where AX would’ve been and etc.)?
while all those would be nice, considering the current state of the world I don't expect or would be mad if they didn't offer any compensation.
>>And more importantly, what will you miss the most about Anime Expo? Especially those who fly / road trip to LA.
The environment. Being in a venue full of thousands of like minded people that like the same crap I do. being able to weeb out and not being ostracized for it. and most of all just spending time away from my asshole coworkers and cunt managers.

>>Did you transfer your badge to 2021?
I'm a Premier Pass this year, but I'm considering doing a refund instead of transferring. Because right now, Newsom said there could be mass gatherings until Fall 2021 way after AX. So far, all of his words he has delivered so I wouldn't take whatever he says lightly.
>>yfw when you saw that AX is kill?
Sad, but relieved. Even if AX were to go on this year, it would have been another mediocre con. Hopefully this gives time for the SPJA to re-evaluate themselves and how to make the con better. I doubt that's going to happen though.
>>How are you holding up after the news?
Meh, I was one of those that wanted AX to be cancelled so I wasn't surprised.
>>What’s your plan with your AX fund jar now that AX is kill?
Upgrade PC and save up for air suspension for my ride.
>>You still going to use your approved work PTO meant for AX?

>>What were your cosplay day 0/1/2/3/4 plans?
I dropped out of cosplay a while back so nothing. I just like going to cons and interacting with people.
>>horror/uplifting/memorable stories and shit you regret doing (or not doing) from last year’s AX
I regretted getting this cute chick's name and info at a room party. We talked for a bit, and it was friendly but I think she sees me as a creep.
>>What do you think should be compensation during this year’s AX (exclusive merch from big booths like Crunchyroll, Kotobukiya, Altus selling their merch online during the days where AX would’ve been and etc.)?
I doubt there won't be any exclusive merch to sell since they're coming out of factories in China.

That's the timeline for a possible vaccine. You can't realistically expect to keep people in a lockdown for 18 months even factoring in a second wave that's turbo sped by people like those protestors. Next summer is a long time away and we're going to be indirectly aided by major sports strongarming local government to hold events. AX2021 stands a good chance of happening, for better or for worse, the only question is what is it going to look like. Who are the guests? How many people will show up? What extra evaluations will they make us go through? What will the atmosphere be like?

>Who are the guests? How many people will show up? What extra evaluations will they make us go through? What will the atmosphere be like?
This is the problem I see why we will never have a normal convention in our lifetime. Guests will only be limited to those that are local or regional, I don't think we'll see guests who are based out of the East Coast waste time and money to come out here just to be haggled of getting into the convention center. The overall attendance will drop significantly to the point that cons will lose money. On top of that, with the extra precautions added such as having a temperature check and making sure people have mask and gloves before entering, people will lose interest in attending due to the bullshit they have to go through in order to get inside the convention center. Atmosphere will be a different environment as people will have a difficult time applying social distancing. The days of mass gatherings are at an end.

[Anonymous No.10377793]

>>10377745
The reason why it takes so long is because of the human trials which multiple vaccines are currently on. Tbh you don't need a vaccine, just need new case numbers to decrease to the point that the risk of infection at gatherings is low.

I'm curious. Since AX and SDCC were canceled... Will the cons that don't get canceled see higher attendance due to the dealers, artist, guest and attendees wanting to attend what cons still go on? Or because of the economic break down, will it not change?

If we somehow manage to pull through this and people don't take too hard of a hit and can afford it, I see people who don't normally flock to out of state cons, doing so just to hold onto whatever might be left of the 2020 convention season.

Anon, those people will go to out-of-state cons because the ones in their state probably closed down (maybe permanently). If you live in one of the less population dense states then having to go out of state is the new reality if you want to go to any con.

Bay Area here. We just extended to end of May and have mandatory mask usage. People ignore both. They know there's not enough cops out there to give citations. There's not enough to dedicate patrols to just giving out tickets (imagine them actually trying to do that; they'd be bogged down every time they had to give a ticket to the point where it would takes days to get through the city even once). They're going to proritize cops to deal with actual crimes instead.

Fun fact: if you ever get confronted by a fare inspector or other person like that you can just give them another name or if it's something like a bus just hop off. If there's no cop with them to help enforce they can't do shit. Trains having less stops/ways off might be more of an issue but you can do the same.
