Just had a look at their website. What is up with those guests? And there's no programming schedule either. It's in OC and I'm in LA, wondering if I should go or what.

Got a creeper story for you guys
> Be friends with a famous cosplayer
> Begin dating her sister
> 8 months later
> Learn about some guy who is always being a creeper to cosplayer friend
> Find out that at the past few cons he had asked how her sister was doing, if she was single, etc.
> Laugh about it when they describe how he looks (Think quentin terantino (?) Mixed with Tom Hanks, balding, fat, and borderline autistic)
>Fast forward to AE
> We are walking around the floor before going to the JoJo panel
> cosplayer friend calls us and lets us know the creeper is there and that he asked if my gf was there too
>Pisses me the fuck off
> No more than five minutes later we happen to run into him
> Hes even uglier than I imagined
> Gf grabs my arm and is slightly shaking so I pull her close to me
> He begins following us so I tell gf to stay directly in front of me and that everything is gunna be alright
> He keeps trying to talk to her and I tell him to fuck off
> The fat fuck keeps following us around
> We cant lose him in the crowd because it was crowded as shit and cant move very well through it
> Get free of it as we get near the JoJo line but hes right behind us
> I tell her to keep walking to the line and I turn to face him
> He tries to walk past me towards her and I block his way and yank him to the side
> Tell him he had better fuck off and stay away from my girlfriend or I'd kick his ass right there
> He gets this scowl on his face and I tell him that if I find out that he tries to talk to my girlfriend or asks about her again I'd kick his fucking teeth in and put him in the hospital
> He is just standing there like the fat autist he is
> Push him away and walk back to my girlfriend and let her know he wont bother her again
> She begins to hug me
> Turn around and hes still standing there with that scowl on his face
>Grab her ass and begin to kiss her while he watches
> He walks away before I'm done

I've always despised creepers and learned that the best way to deter them was to flaunt something they want but they will never have.

The best part is my girlfriend is everything I want in a girl.

>Skinny with just a little chub
>Loves anime/manga and enjoys collecting figures

I would have done the same thing, besides being a general creeper he didn't do anything (yet) to warrant an asskicking and it isn't worth causing trouble at conventions for something like that.

Now if he had touched or tried to touch her then it's fair game, but since he didn't a mental and emotional lashing is much more effective.

Moon and Venus were pretty good, Jupiter was okay, and Mercury and Mars were questionable. I saw them in person at the booth, and both times something just seemed really off to me about Mars' wig and Mercury's fuku.

Also, it seems kinda fishy to me that SparklePipsi's group would all get picked together... Sounds rigged.

I didn't apply because I cosplay one of the outers, but now I'm not sure that I would have wanted to, anyway.

wait wait... so, they were working on these costumes TOGETHER before the contest even began and ACP just happens to pick all of them for the event, despite the fact that they made the contest sound like it's gonna be fair game?

I'm surprise no one's raising pitchfork over this. One of my friend entered and she told me how she had to write an essay (yes, essay) about why she should be chosen.

My thoughts exactly. If they had wanted a group that matched, then they should have made that the application, not as individuals. There are plenty of cosplay groups that coordinate like that, and it would have seemed a hell of a lot more fair if that was the point from the beginning.

From what I've heard from several different friends that entered there were different requirements for each person that applied. Really strange for a contest that is supposed to be fair. Although people should have been more suspect of this coming from ACP I mean they really only use people they are buddy buddy with for the important stuff.

Sorry, I'm not saying that everything was rigged and that there was a conspiracy.

I'm literally just theorizing that maybe they were already working on a group regardless of whether they were chosen or not, and that's why they were able to get everything together so quickly.

Yeah... The only other reasonable thing I can think of is that maybe Moon was chosen, she said, "hey, I have matching friends", and then they chose to ignore the other applicants in favor of a matching group. Either way, doesn't exactly seem fair.

The event selections they do aren't actually contests, they're more like a casting call, and if this was "official" and "approved by the creator" that probably means the japanese companies and viz had a lot of say in the selection process, probably even more than ACP did.

I know for fact that Wayne and Henry only like to work with people they're well-acquainted with. All these 'official cosplayer' application they send out, most of them will be tossed out no matter how accurate they look because they either think you're not popular enough or don't know you well enough.

It's all a sham, in the end. I had to tell my friend not to even bother with sailor moon contest, because I knew what was going to happen anyways.

>All these 'official cosplayer' application they send out, most of them will be tossed out no matter how accurate they look because they either think you're not popular enough or don't know you well enough.

with a high profile event like Sailor Moon, it makes a lot more sense to work with people who have either done previous smaller events with ACP or had someone vouch for their reliability. It's not just making or buying a good costume and knowing how to pull off the character look, wig, makeup, it's also being reliable with the logistics and stress of early call times, planning your own breaks, endurance and working well in a team, keep social media in check (such as if you take photo with guests and said guests request you do not post it) and other things.

There were brand new people on the other teams throughout the convention, but not necessarily Sailor Moon. Eveyone starts somewhere, I would never discourage applying for an open casting call because even if you dont work that specific event you really wanted, you never know what will be promoted in the future and having a good experience in the past such as showing up on time and not leaving early, working well with other cosplayers you never met until that day etc. all that goes way farther than a billion likes on a facebook page.

As someone who has worked ACP events before, this anon has it right. They pick people they know are reliable and work well in a booth situation. It was questionable how they advertised this as a contest and there was a lot of butthurt around social media. Did Usagi Kou try out for this?

Dance on Saturday I got in early and nobody messed with me/people generally left me alone so that was good. I also wasn't wearing the same wig as the day before so I didn't have to worry about that guy since he only saw me in the dark anyway.
Screw people like that.

See I'm cool with them picking people they know and understand why. It's the same reason why videographers shoot the same cosplayers over and over again for scenes. However if they wanted people they know then they should have just kept the details private. Only reason why I can see this happening is that ACP had a group they wanted to use, made an open casting call to see if anyone was better then went back to their old choices

Anime California is having its first con this year, it's going to be like ALA, but with more focus on getting the closet otaku/MMO crowd out of their basements and into a convention to mingle with people. I think it'll be pretty fun, not for the mediocre guests or shit panels, more for the fact that this con has EXTREMELY high chances of becoming an awesome partycon. Indoor venue, attached hotel, bars and restaurants surrounding the place, etc.

Anyone else going?

it's a lot like Crunchyroll promoting their cosplay ambassador program at panels and cons and saying they constantly accept new cosplayers and so on, but dont mention that if you have less than 3000 likes on a your facebook page (and you must have a facebook page) then you will never get a response from them.

It's for exposure and brand promotion, basically to create an event buzz, and not for the cosplayers ego exclusively. If you haven't figured this out already and adapted accordingly, then theres no real need for you to be a cosplay attache or escort at events. That is what promotion work is, whether it's handiny oug flyers for a night club or announving that you'll be so and so character for this panel or this event.

If it's not for you or your style, then just cosplay on your own time, do your own thing, enjoy the con your own way and dont worry about meeting some company's regs like early check in times, blocks of work shifts and all that-- Some people love it, some people don't come back to it after their first try. it 's not for everyone.

But personally I think people should apply for something they really care for if they can, because you dont really know if you're that type until you try it out.

I doubt Facebook likes and pages have nothing to do with ACP events or casting calls, you dont need a Facebook page to be in their events, many cosplayers who are part of their events dont even have a separate FB page for themselves. But More or less to be a Crunchyroll ambassador, it's the bare minimum requirement, because Crunchyroll's product, and thus it's marketing machine, is 98% online content and relies on social media to grow it's brand

Started an hour late, with 15 minute+ delays between brand presentations.
Kimura U sang a song which was cute. There was also a short Q&A with the Ghost of Harlem designers while they were stalling for time.
In the middle there was long portion about that Kawaii Leader contest with the 5 finalists being presented. It ran on way too long and nobody gives a fuck about some stupid FB contest except the contestants themselves. I nearly fell asleep during this part.
Due to the delays there was a max exodus partway through, most likely of people going to the KLK event. The room started out packed to the max with all seats filled and several hundred standing, and by the time Kokokim started a quarter of the seats were empty.

The clothes and models looked great, and it would have been a good show without the delays and the contest junk, but it was really poorly organized and far too long.
Here's the Kokokim part.

that's a common trick, even if you're not in cosplay and just taking photos with groups of people-- but guys (and gals) do get 'handsy' during photos sometimes. I suggest that if you really do want them refrain from doing so, just grab their arm before they swing it around your waist or something, and pretty much force it back to their side. or use your arm and block theirs: gotta do what you gotta do. if they call you a bitch, don't sweat it.

usually shoulders and stuff are fine, but each person's comfort level is different and it's better to just be super clear about your comfort level. for both yourself, the other person, and anyone else watching.

I know that using the "pic please?" trick to cop a feel on waist, lower back, and ass is way too common.

I went alone all 4 days this year commuting to and from on public transit no less and nobody gave me any shit. I cosplayed as a Sailor Moon character on Saturday and the whole way there I was treated like a celebrity. Everybody said my costume was awesome and wanted their kids to take pictures with me.
Closest thing to a "creeper" I saw was some crazy guy wandering around Union Station yelling "I HAVE A HARD ON!" and various lewd phrases but he wasn't targeting me. Those guys are so nuts they don't even know what they're doing and everybody just ignores them.

It can be a little boring at times if you don't have a constant buddy with you, but I usually spend most of my time in the dealer's hall steadily handing out all my money or in line for things where I can chit-chat with the people next to me.

Anyone know of a good solution to fixing a shaky shot? Currently using Topaz' InFocus and all it seems to do is add on a textured layer to make the image appear as if it's in focus but it doesn't restore any details. Edit: the key I got for it doesn't even work.

This was taken near the /cgl/ meetup on Day 2 and taking a good pic of this guy was tough.

there's no solution. If the base shot is out of focus there's really nothing you can do short of re-drawing details manually. you either incorporate the blur or just call it a loss. With a character like Inumuta, you can probably CG pixel blurs in some ares to make it look kinda of techie in some areas and sharpen others, but that's a cheap trick.

that's because the ambient light (aka your topdown street lamp there) has to be a lower frequency than his own EL wire accents, otherwise you lose the whole effect. But good try. I one of the Inumutas trying to get selfies with other Inumutas. I got up to 13-14, but I dont think I got him. damn.

oh, also tripod would have helped that shot immensely. Or next time if you dont have a tripod, set the camera up on something steady and use a countdown timer and step away after focusing, rather than just pushing the shutter button. Your finger will still shake the camera that one small mm to the side and you'll get that blur.

Some people are just uncomfortable with touching. If that had been me, I would not have walked off, but I would have asked you to stop touching. A lot of girls have very distinct personal bubbles, whether due to past negative experiences or personality, and you should always ask before going in for a hug or arm around the shoulder. It's just the polite thing to do.

Asking to take a picture with them is one thing, but you what you meant to ask if you could put your arm around them in the picture as well.

what the hell is this NEED to touch though? What happened to just standing by someone and smiling, peace sign, throwing up gang sign, do the casual salute, all that and more is so much better alternative. Look, a person has no way of know whether or not you have bad intentions, so it's always safer to err on the side of caution.

would you have done the same if it was teacher on a class trip and you were all taking a group photo? Or if this was a cafeteria worker or security dude who hooked you up? an official Disney character at Disneyland? I would hope not.

Yes. It's a fucking arm around the shoulder posing for a photograph. It's a friendly gesture that people do literally every day. Do you not use Instagram? If anything standing awkwardly next to each other just makes for a terrible photo. I don't think I even have a picture of myself with someone else where our arms aren't around each other.

Of course you'd never see anyone doing that to a girl, when I take pictures with a girl I'm either doing my own pose or she's grabbing me by the shoulder / waist and I'm kind of mimicking that.

I guess it all depends on the person, you can sorta tell just by looking at em. Some people take cosplay too serious to the point where they don't even seem to have fun which are the worst kind of cosplayers. Like, the whole point is to have fun and shit.

iawtc. Also, if you find you're stressing out over cosplay and it's not as fun anymore...just don't for a con. Or if you do, deliberately half ass it with a cheap halloween costume and don't bother going to any photo events. That's what I did when I found myself stressing out too much. I said fuck it, shoved my in progress stuff into storage for a while, and went to Youmacon in a spirit halloween Fionna costume. My husband got the LSP costume, wore it over jeans and was Lumpy Space Prince. We got wasted and had a blast - and I actually had a bunch of people who wanted to get photos with me, just because my attitude had changed.

I'm laughing really hard right now. I actually went as a maid for AX this year and I passed. Several people were fooled, especially the normal folks. Nobody grabbed my rear end and on the contrary, I made a friend who went as a maid and she was a genuine grill. I spent most of the con hanging out with her, occasionally poking her and falling asleep on her lap.

However my dress wasn't short. Was yours short?

if he does the cos again, tell him to invest in higher intensity inverter. I had the 12 volt for each 2 wires on my arms and it was visible in normal convention lighting, semi visible under really strong spotlighting. I didn't want to pay for more than 12v though, but I think there are more intense out there for under $10 an inverter.

flash will kill anything though. Enough ambient light and even an iphone will be good.

Staffer in one of the last AX threads said probably two years, since they're contracted with LACC for one more year, and LACC is supposed to be starting some major construction in the next year or so. I'm guessing location change in 2016, so it might be worth waiting until then, >>7668896 anon.

Finding this Kurumi was impressively difficult. I believe she was the only one. The only other time we found her was on the way to Ralph's, during Day 3, at night. A friend took a photo of her using his smartphone. We found her at a really inconvenient time, as our DSLR was out of battery and our P&P was the only thing we had on hand, aside from our phones. Regardless, I hope you enjoy what seems to be the only Kurumi this AX.

Lesson here is to never take an image in the Entertainment Hall unless it's in the cosplay areas. The lighting and that compression, oh god. However, it's the only image we have of these three together. I have another one, but the white balance is completely fucked.
