Otakon 2013 is officially over. Time to discussion positive and negative aspects of the Con along with dumping our con photos and the occasional dramu.

Also big announcement by Otakon today, get ready for the big move to Washington DC in 2017.

Also, they confirmed a move?? For real?? Con management has been saying for years that DC has been looked at and ruled out.

Never mind about confirmation - just saw a staffer post about DC on their Facebook page.

Still, any news about next year?

>> No.7029792

>>7029787
They confirmed the announcement via Twitter. Also there are several news stories about it too. Otakon's agreement with BCC expires in 2017 and received bids from DC and Baltimore for a five year contract. It boiled down to space being the factor and Otakon had concerns with the future of the BCC and the Arena nearby were in doubt. Washington's convention center had more space and they could also utilize the Verizon Arena in the future.

Otakon 2014 is scheduled for August 8-10th

Tripfagging for this thread only.

The con was alot of fun this year. My group went pretty hard on saturday night.

I was with you guys at the tavern on friday night wearing the blue sleeveless hoodie. Talked with the chris chan cosplayer and the jo2suke cosplayer mostly (i know their names but I doubt they want me saying on /cgl/). Then we went downstairs and had some 2v2 pool against somebody else. I forgot the girl's name who was on my team, she was cute. Oh well.

I wound up going again at about 1:20am saturday night cause I wasn't feeling good. That night I was the guy in the yellow venture brothers shirt and jeans. I got to chat with some of you briefly before the bar closed.

Anyway, now that I established who I am, I'll use the next big post for my slideshow (I do this every year in these threads) and stories.

the finn to fiona ratio was crazy

panels i went to were alright but spent most of the time aimlessly wandering around
saturday concert was alright

>> No.7029895

I had a pretty damn good time lugging around my sticks and laptop during the day and dating the waifu at night for the most part.
Oreimo premiere was okay, but I felt like it ended poorly. I wanted to stay for the aftershow Q&A but after brief debate about it with friends that went with me we decided against it.
Poked around the dealers room when I had a chance and didn't really buy much.
The game room was alright, had different games on every tv except for smash and cod. KoFXIII still didn't have unlocks and dlc on, and no tourney for it. Did manage get a few games in with people that brought their stick and had a decent time. Murder the tetris high score by 100k 10mins before the game room closed so I'm happy.
Meetups were really fun, got absolutely hammered friday and saturday I chilled a bit but slept in early.

Had a fun time. I kicked ass at Rock Band, got autographs from Crispin Freeman and LittleKuriboh, and saw the premiere of the OReimo OVAs.

I feel like variety was lacking with regards to cosplay this year, or maybe I was just unlucky and didn't see a lot of different ones.
I swear every year I see less and less anime cosplay which kind of bums me out.
I was hoping for Chuunibyou and Jojo cosplayers because they're fun to pose with and take pictures.
Home made kazoku was amazing and TMR was pretty cool.
Couldn't see Yoko Kanno because the line on Sunday got capped 10 people ahead of me.

I had a pretty great time all told actually. Redwood and I found the meet together on Friday night and then I just proceeded straight to the tavern on Saturday. Pool was HILARIOUS both nights. All you guys were great to hang out with and do weird things with, even though I fell off the table a few times trying to do show-offy shots during the game.

The con was pretty great all told too. The Marvel shoot went well, I think, I saw a fair number of the people I wanted to see, and enjoyed the panels I saw and the food I ate.
Hell, I even got over a dozen people recognizing me in Speedball, so I was pretty happy.

Didn't buy much, though. I hate going to dealers at Otakon.

I just gotta say I agree about seeing less anime as years go by. I don't want to sound like an ass, cause anime cons have never been exclusively anime, but its really disheartening I guess to go to one and feel like anime is becoming the niche... I sort of feel like it's turning into an overall fandom/tumblr con. Either way, Otakon was still a blast this year and I'm super excited for the venue change next year.

POS System and scanners were actually improved over previous years. Some network hiccups but the work-flow is smoother.

Simple more people came compared to previous years. We passed 32k members by Saturday afternoon, but the final official numbers take a while to come out.

Head of registration was new, most registration officers were new. Lots of rank-and-file newbies yanked in to cover shortages. A few veterans, but people tend to burn out fast in this department. Sorry man, I tried :(

We went at 7 because the sky was looking so angry. On the way there though the wind blew my top over my head so I got to flash everyone on the street and then it started to rain. Maybe it was the weather or the fact that going later on Thursday is a great way to avoid lines. Even with how much more crowded it was this year then usual I was still in and out super fast like it felt like 5 maybe 10 minutes max. The wrist band line on Friday was crazy though.

She was the most popular artist. Judging by the population in the simulcast theater, her room would have been 2-3x over capacity.

>the saturday concert didnt need one
Saturday's concert was at the Mariner Arena, which has a much larger capacity. I don't know exactly why it wasn't used for Kanno, but I'm betting it was because the setup there was incompatible with the awesome video projection effects she had planned for her performance

Also so much of it seems really same-y. And there seems to be a lot of slice of life sort of stuff, but not the kind of slice-of-life I like,... and slice-of-life anime/manga doesn't really get cosplayed that much because it doesn't make for much of a spectacle.

>>7030574
Did you see that one in jeans and T-shirt. At least I think she was cosplaying Kiki... a really lazy one. Like she had a broom and a red bow but at least she could have gotten a black dress even a shitty one that would have made way more sense.

>>7030546
Around the convention center honestly it shouldn't be too bad. Homeless people tend to just be around the mall or a few blocks away from the mall is more like it. They know tourists are more likely to give them money. Also Black people in DC look down on Black people from Baltimore... Actually everyone in DC looks down on people from Baltimore. Like when they find out your from Baltimore they just kind of say "I'm sorry". I mean we still have hood ass people but for the most part they stay in South East if they're going to be hood.

Also, Yoko Kanno concert was held in a smaller room to begin with.

HMK/TMR were both backed up by a band, and heavily amplified. Yoko did a piano concert, and her style of playing/singing benefits from a lesser degree of amplification and greater intimacy in room layout, so a smaller room was needed.

She originally was only going to perform for only 200 people, but Otakon pretty much told her that she probably shouldn't bother coming unless she was performing for more, so it ended up being ticketed for only 1000.

Doctorpool was a pretty nice dude, met him and his fiancée briefly and they were fun to hang with for a few minutes.

Yup, only 200. You had to pick-up your pre-reg badge on Thursday, then Friday morning there was a line near the lobby entrance where they were going to hand out tickets. The front of line folks were there since 7pm the night before or something, but had you gotten in the line by 8AM you probably would've got it.

Post-con depression is hitting pretty hard. Had a lot of fun with everyone. Bummed about the Yoko Kanno concert. Pissed that I let someone see my resin Corona bottle for my Erica cosplay after the Atlus meet and they dropped it and it broke. I'll have to go through pics and see what I've got. I've got a few from the tavern and randomly around.

This was my first time at a con or cosplaying. Did dead/bloody Aradia saturday and Misia from Sound Horizon sunday. I had a fantastic time!

Bad: FUCKING PREREG LINE HOLYFUCK, the hallway across floor 300 was really crowded sometimes, no visuals for Chiaki Ishikawa simulcast, and of course the concert venue's limitedness

Good: Everything else, Ishikawa had a nice small personal autograph session so the concert thing wasn't so sad, and the meetups and panels i hit were great.

Also here's the 'line' for Oreimo behind me after everyone rushed to the doors. Shit was cramped as fuck but it was worth it in the end.

Yeah, I was bumming around as Monokuma on Friday and he came up to me all, "Want to get the bloodstains of children out of your fur? Get Oxy-Clean for your next school trial!" It was adorbs.

I think one of my friends has some. I could have touched her she was so close. I didn't want to believe she was real.

Me and my three friends were cosplaying Trafalgar Law, Harpy Monet, Ace, and Fem!Crocodile from One Piece but sadly we didn't take any pictures of ourselves. If anyone happened to catch a picture of us, could you post it please? Thanks.

Let me just say I am ecstatic that Otakon's moving in 2017. Fuck the BCC, it's too small for a con of Otakon's size. Also apparently there was a Soul Eater shoot on one of the skybridges. I want to smack whoever arranged that because they're stupid.

I know the glasses aren't right but I liked this Motoko as well.

All the other pics I have are of cosplays people posted already. Also, if anyone saw that one Lady Eboshi cosplayer... if you took a pic of her please post that. I wanted to get a picture but it would have required getting out of the TM Revolution autograph ticket line.

Hate to ask, but I didn't actually get any pictures of my own costume, did anybody get a picture of my clicker costume from Friday? There were actually two of us.

True. But where were those homocides taking place? South East more likely then not and like I said when people leave South East they act like they have sense. True that two of my friends did get robbed last month in two separate incidences though, they gave the one guy his phone back because it was a prepaid flip phone.

Yes but all the crime takes part in a certain part of the city far from the convention center. Incidentally, in Baltimore, it's the area directly around the convention center that's the only safe place.

I cosplayed Rikka Friday and there was a Jojo meetup Sunday? Sorry you didn't see many. I only saw one other Rikka personally and agree severe lack of love for it.
