Who's going?

[Anonymous No.8461211]

im going all week, been going for a total of 16 years now
was gonna cosplay but didnt finish my stuff in time, so i guess im gonna chill the whole time

[Anonymous No.8461230]

Year 11
Think I'm sick from AX. SDCC is going to suck for me.

[Anonymous No.8461365]

im still pretty tired from AX mentally and physically, but I'm healthy enough. Might reuse my cosplays from AX since I didn't feel like I got a lot of use out of them or maybe even use one from last year. Might just go casual though idk, I'll see how I feel.

[Anonymous No.8461427]

>>8461123
I'm also going all 4 days splitting a room with one of my co workers from last year. this will be my 8th year. I didn't budget a cosplay but still going to be enjoying myself.

[Anonymous No.8461813]

I'm only going Saturday. This will be my 9th year but I'm not really looking forward to it whatsoever. My step dad spent $700 on tickets in an auction so I feel compelled to go but it just gets worse and worse each year.

going but not a cosplayer

7th sdcc since 2006

surprisingly excited this year. can't put a finger on why. maybe it's actually being in a good financial situation for once.

[Anonymous No.8461914]

>>8461123
has it been easier to get comic con tickets? or do they still sell out within seconds of them going up on sale?

havent been to comic con since '09. havent really bothered since then since after that year, tickets have been near impossible to get.

Really? Surprisingly I haven't heard about a lot Comic Con in general so maybe that's why. Not that I don't expected to still be surrounded by normies only there because of the hype but maybe it'll be a bit tamer.

can you at least buy multiple tickets if you somehow get picked?
seems like it would suck if youre trying to go with a friend and you end up getting picked while your friend doesnt

[Anonymous No.8461971]

>>8461931
yes you can buy for others provided you know their name and comic con ID

I bought saturday passes for two friends, while i got the 4+prev (I could not have bought 4 of those, there were only 2 available)

[Anonymous No.8461987]

>>8461931
you can buy up to three which also means if you have a group of more than three you might be screwed. it's luck of the draw which is annoying as fuck.

>>8461926
Like its seems more about animations this year. the rumors is that Hollywood didn't much to show off and didn't prepare anything so they're skipping this year. the only big I believe is maybe one or two tv shows and lucas films.

[Anonymous No.8462005]

>>8461971
also FYI the odds aren't great

of the 8-9 people we had in a groupchat sitting in the waitlist i was the only one who got in early enough to

i believe two other in the group got fri/sat and a couple solo fridays before it was down to the thurs/sun. a couple people got those just to be eligible for next year's prereg.

[Anonymous No.8462018]

man, that sounds like shit. maybe i shouldnt even bother with comic con at all anymore.
i remember back in 2009, i casually bought preview night+4 days a month or two before the con started even though the passes have been on sale months before that.

[Anonymous No.8462024]

feels like that was the last year

i remember 2010 being something of a shitshow. was that the ticketleap year?

that fucking frog...

[Anonymous No.8462032]

>>8462024
yeah, seems like after that year, comic con was impossible to get into.

[Anonymous No.8462036]

honestly there are a lot of other good cons nowadays all over the place which are just as good and are far easier to get into

between hollywood shitters bringing in whole entourages and press gangs, comic con gets worse every year as it just fills up with leeches and people who want to be seen and less honest people actually make it in

[Anonymous No.8462043]

>>8462024
its just sad because a few fuckups like the original online fiasco really made people go crazy and all of a sudden people thought tickets were super rare even though the demand probably didn't change that much from the previous year

[Anonymous No.8462092]

>>8462018
Honestly it went to shit because it had to be fair.
>first you could buy your ticket at the con and pre-reg during the con for next year
>then online registration happened and this is where it start to make everyone feel it was elitist
>then popularity hits like stereotypical nerdy girl who gets a sexy make over and a lot of people couldn't handle waking up early and understanding that its an online waiting room
>after the few years of complaints they came up with a lottery so that it was perfectly fair and once again the complaints never cease.
>so they upgrade the lottery system that didn't matter what time or place in line you got in at. it stacked the deck then splits them into three other decks and the top card on each deck goes in at the same time.
the ride will never end

I'm pretty glad I'm able to find a thread for Comic Con since I rarely see them here.

First timer here! I've heard a lot of negative things about Comic Con in the recent year, but I'm still excited I finally get to go. I figured I might as well go as soon as I can before it gets worse, as people say. I'm trying to pack up stuff right now actually and I hope I'm well prepared. Do you guys think there will be enough people for a meet up?

Finally, after waiting 8 years I'm actually going.

I figured Comic Con is being more of a husk of it's former glory, but I just wanted one experience of going there. I really hope the rumors of San Jose Comic Con come through, because that would be way easier for me to go to.

I've heard to avoid the more popular panels and just stick to the small niche stuff. Actually, I hope people avoid the artists booths because I really just wanna go meet some of the industry artists.

[Anonymous No.8462141]

>>8462121
oh they definitely avoid the artist booths
most people attending don't even know that area exists because they don't care about artists

you could probably talk for hours to the artists in that zone

[Anonymous No.8462153]

>>8462141

Aw dude yes. Meeting industry artists would be amazing, that's actually the number 1 thing I want to do there.

I realize now I just want to check out weeaboo things instead of the comic book stuff. I do want to see what Dark Horse and Blizzard Entertainment have to offer, but I'm hoping there some good pvc statue figures to buy there.

[Anonymous No.8462160]

>>8462101
you rarely see SDCC threads because its pretty much only a handful of people who actually go or that seem to go.

my advice is avoid H hall at all cost its a lost cause, read the book because their events that aren't advertised mostly some signatures and special events. if there is a popular panel you want to see, go two panels before that one. have a fallout plan and don't be afraid to talk other con goers you never know who your going to meet and what they do. I scored some free tickets one year because I talked to him and his son about the con, what they wanted to see, hope to do, and wished them the best luck on everything they wanted to do.

I plan on at lease stopping by and seeing what the plan is for the meet up. emmet report in

At least the people in this thread all seem to be going so that's a handful I suppose. Would be cool to meet other /cgl/ people since I really didn't get to go to a meetup at Fanime this year.

[Anonymous No.8462196]

This will be my 6th Comic Con, and it's going to be a fun year, since I'm taking some friends from out of state who've never been.

No cosplays, for the first time this year, but I will be attending the j-fashion walk on Sunday.

[Anonymous No.8462303]

here are my tips/observations as a long time attendee

- the majority of people there are now there for celeb gazing or most of the other popular media things like movies/video games. If you are there for comics, you will be in the minority

- Idiots line up for Hall H the day before, so unless you really want to see something, just forget it and enjoy the rest of your time there. If some reason you happen to pass by Hall H in the middle of the day, you can check it out and maybe there is a chance some popular panel emptied and the room is more open

- There will be lines for pretty much anything (but the comic lines tend to be short unless its someone really popular). As a favor to everyone, do not randomly ask "what is this line for" because you just look like a clueless idiot

- the majority of cosplayers can be found in the main lobby area (between the glass outer doors and the actual doors to the hall) and upstairs...the reason is the hall floor is cramped as shit so any attempt to move in a complicated outfit sucks and any attempt to take pictures also sucks

- do yourself a favor and come up with a general plan, and do not waste too much time in lines, especially if its your first time. There is a lot of shit all over, between the huge floor space and shit outside and shit in the neighboring hotels. I think you will be happiest if you pick your niche panels and just wander around and discover stuff

well, you're kind of limited there. there is a very small presence at SDCC compared too AX or Otakon which bookend SDCC. a few booths (Viz, Square, Bluefin, Namco). maybe a guest or two (Ultraman creators this year). panels are almost nonexistent although I somehow always find myself going to the lost in translation panel which is just J->E translators

>>8462303
there's wristbands this year for Hall H or some shit distributed the night before. Now you can wait in a line to wait in a Hall H line! ps. fuck hall H, fuck Ballroom 20.

[Anonymous No.8462349]

>>8462320
wristbands were there last year...it is only for the first panel of the day, but still pretty stupid because idiots just go and stay all day

last year you could line up after the last panel line ended (so maybe 7-8pm) and then they handed out the wristbands at some random point after. Someone could hold the place in line overnight, and then they let whoever was in line with a wristband in. It was a little complicated because the wristband didn't guarantee entry so someone had to stay in line all night

this year though, it seems you can line up during the day, and if you get a wristband, it guarantees you entry, so you don't have to even suffer over night

anyways its all bullshit, but if you are really dedicated to getting in, please read the official directions and do your homework and all that

OT, but it always seems like in America they have a million cons to be able to go to, like there's a new one every month

I'm jealous ;_;

[Anonymous No.8462827]

>>8462724
Yeah but unless you live near them travel is not always feasible.

I have a few friends from France/Germany and they did agree that one of the culture shocks when visiting America was how fucking far apart things are. 6 hours by car gets you across pretty much any country in France but it only gets you from SF to LA (which is about 2/3s the length of California)

>>8462724
America is kind of huge though. To put it into relative terms, I can only easily travel to cons in LA and southern California. Going to something like, Dragoncon in Georgia would be about the same amount of travel.

I won't pretend we don't have it pretty good. Maybe you should come vacation in the states during con season?

[Anonymous No.8463285]

[Anonymous No.8463350]

>>8461914
Not at all- it's harder in fact, they do a lottery system now. You wait around from 7-9 to get put in a random spot in line.
I tried when they first implemented it with mine and my grandma's account to get in early, didn't even get sloppy seconds Sunday. And then they didn't do a second round of whatever tickets got refunded because there were so little of them.
This year I did it with mine, my mom, and my grandma's account on three devices and logged in at random times (I the earliest, mom's the middle, and grandma's at the tail end), and again, we didn't even get Sunday.

[Anonymous No.8463361]

>>8463319

Personally would not spend a single dime to troll around in the first place. But it seems it has happened already a couple of times in the past. So I guess you never will be able to get it 100% troll proof even with some good security walking around the place, If there is a substantial amount of money involved they will just try to do it no matter the outcome.

[Bloodbane !!7tfX9OhowO1 No.8463489]

Advice for cosplayers going to SDCC: Go all in, or leave it at home.

Cosplaying at SDCC is much different from cosplaying at other conventions.

1. You will be forced to move with foot traffic a lot. There won't be a lot of places for stopping.

2. Your costume will wear you down physically. If your costume does not have adequate footwear for walking, you are going to that much more drained.

3. If your costume is "large" be aware that hall space is limited. If you try to walk in crowds, you WILL be an obstruction to others, and tire yourself out trying to get around. Also, plan on missing anything cool if you are lumbering around in a costume.

4. Have friends around that can carry stuff like your bag-o-swag and food/drinks/wallet/purse.

5. If you are keen on getting your picture taken, find free time to hang out in designated "cosplay" spots, like the stairs or places where there's lots of foot traffic.

[Bloodbane !!7tfX9OhowO1 No.8463496]

>>8463489
>cont

5.5 Be welcoming to photography. People are shy about asking. Especially do this if someone comes up to compliment your costume. You should offer them an opportunity. "Oh, did you want to take a picture?". Some people will feel like they are inconveniencing you, or they are too shy to ask, even if they compliment your costume. Take time to engage with people. Make it fun. If they say "nah, I don't want one" then that's that. But always lead the offer. It'll help you get pictures of yourself online, and helps ease the photo takers tension about asking.

Reason I mention above "Go all in, or leave it at home" is because wearing a costume at comic con is really stressful and tiring compared to other conventions. You will get tired faster, you will have to travel longer, you will be a burden to others if your costume is too large, and you won't really have a chance to unload your costume at the hotel room (unless you are rich as fuck and can afford the $700 a night rooms across the street from the con center). Be prepared to be exhausted more so than usual, and that carting around your costume "is" going to stop you from doing other things that day.

If you can handle all that, go for it. It's a ton of fun, and you might get special treatment on one thing or another (like ending up on tv, or getting photo ops with well known people). Otherwise, if it sounds like too much, leave your cosplay at home and enjoy the con and rest around San Diego. Lotsa good places to wine and dine.

[Anonymous No.8468066]

Maybe I'll go one year...despite not really being a comic-book person

[Anonymous No.8468128]

Explain to me this
I have a subscription to sdcc email service to be able to register for passes, every fucking year I get nothing.
I guess only people who have gone the year before are allowed to go? How the fuck am I supposed to go?
Do I seriously have to buy an overpriced ticket on craigslist from some guy who doesnt seem legitimate?
Sorry for rant Im just really sad I cant go.

[Anonymous No.8468146]

Im putting a fucking bounty out.
What does comic con tend to do with props?
If anyone sees this fucking furby and can ask them if i can buy it off them after the con (assuming its gonna be thrown out) I will seriously paypal you money if i really get my hands on the thing.

How was it? Would have gone but I had to head out.

[Anonymous No.8468302]

>>8468128

Do you have an register user account with a con membership? Those are free and you need an account before you can buy a pass. You will then get emails when you buy passes

Even if you didn't go everyone gets a shot during the March/April period while the passes for everyone.

>>8468146

Er....usually giant props like those are made by the company and are actually owned by them. You probably can't buy it unless you have several thousands dollars

[Anonymous No.8468305]

>>8468302

Oops, meant to say that March/April is for everyone who didn't go the previous year while usually the fall is the time period for people who did attend

OK, so I'm desperate to go to SDCC (now that I've discovered there's going to be one thing that really interests me there). I live in LA. Anyone driving down from there? Also, I need a way to get into SDCC itself. This will be my first time. Any advice or actual help would be appreciated.

[Anonymous No.8468662]

So question.
I'm heading down there tomorrow to visit some friends who are attending. Is there anything my boyfriend and I can do without having a badge?

Actually yes! I'm up in Burbank.
But as much as I would love to help, I don't think I would be your best bet. I'm not leaving until around 4-5pm, and I'm coming back the same night, most likely late.

Oh I see. Actually, I was just hoping to clock in an hour or two on Saturday or Sunday. And I'm in Westwood, so not exactly on the way there. Thanks for the offer anyway. Though if you don't mind, and I can't find anyone else for a trip there, I'd be very up for it.

[Anonymous No.8468876]

>>8468662
There's free stuff you can do around comic-con.
They have one of those rides where it takes you up and then drops you lol
The adult swim place is really fun and they give out free t-shirts.
If you're into fighting games, the place where the xbone stuff is they have tournaments next to that place.
In the marriot hotel nintendo has something in there (didn't get a chance to see it)
I think in the same hotel as the xbone place they have shows and sometimes anime playing.

Already not showing up on Saturday.
Better not showing up at all.

Like for instance the meet and greet in Taiwan where she fucked up everything, also for others that where at a local University.(And blamed afterwards other people for it despite of being warned several times for not trying to be an annoying cunt.) https://www.sankakucomplex.com/2012/02/17/ushijima-iinikus-taiwan-exposure-very-great-indeed/

And for this meeting in the US, she has not been invited for the event by the organisation either.
Well I at least was not able to find it on the event timeline during this writing.
Check: http://www.comic-con.org/

Also this what she calls "cosplay" of her is also over exaggerated hence you will not be able to find her anywhere on the lists of official recognised cosplay authorities in the world nor Japan.

I'm surprised no one's been posting any photos in this thread. I'll throw a few I took out there.

Quick question as well: assuming I get tickets to go next year, which would be the best hotel choice to book at (the main factors being price + a location on the shuttle route)? Been staying at the Sheraton waaaay out on the purple line, but that changes next year considering it takes 45 goddamn minutes to get to Petco and also to the fact that I suspect I got a mild case of pink eye somewhere in that hotel.
