CHICAGO C2E2

[Anonymous No.9407776]

Is anyone thinking about attending this event?

I'm only going on Friday. How is the cosplay at C2E2?

Next time you may want to use the official logo for the thread. I'm sure most anons who are actually going would notice it over fur.

I've been at war over a full weekend or 1 day because the price for Fri+Sat is pretty much a full pass. The cosplay is a mixed bag. Last year was my first time going and there was a mix of /co/ icons of variant qualities (Korra/Gravity Falls/DC/Mahvel). Also a lot of kids there too to add to it. Surprised to see so much anime and vidya included.

I really wanted to do Foxxy Love but my body isn't ready for it. So I'm debating between /mlp/ or Lana Kane. Likely going for pony because the shoes I have for Lana are incredibly painful to wear for more than 10 minutes.

I'm really looking forward to it. I think it's probably the best con in Illinois, even though I do have a soft spot for Acen and still like it a lot. I'm not super into comics, at least not as much as I am into anime/vidya, but the past two years I've been there I've enjoyed myself immensely (I even ended up going alone last year and still had a lot of fun)

Cosplay wise I was really impressed, I saw a lot of "big build" cosplays with huge armor/props that took up a lot of space and they were really cool and impressive, with full LEDs and everything. Of course there are lots of mediocre spidermans, deapools, and random crossover disney princess things too but I also saw some dudes riding around in mad max bike things and it was so cool. The convention center is better than a usual hotel for photoshoots. The fountains are pretty, would be nice for a water-theme cosplay.

The McCormick Center itself is a nice place too even if its a little big and overwhelming. Since I'm not really into a whole lot of comics or western animation and stuff I mostly just went to cosplay, see friends, do shoots, look around the show floor and the show floor did not disappoint me. It's massive and there's a lot to do and look at.

There's a cafeteria area in the middle of the show floor. It had really long lines, so I ended up going to the McDonald's instead which was crowded but less of a line.

So yeah, I recommend it. I also think the badge prices are pretty fair. I ended up procrastinating last year on ordering my badge and pre-ordered the night before I think and only had to wait for 5 minutes in line. It seems to be organized and run well.

This 100%. The line to the dealers hall was absolutely massive. But I got through in less than a few minutes. Weapons check was efficient too. I had gotten so used to Acen's poor speeds that it was an honest surprise when the longest time I had to stand in line was to get food.

Who are all you weirdos who actually think C2E2 is a good con?

It's a shit fest where you have to pay money to meet any of the guests - strike one.

Tons of the people are weirdo comic book nerds; if you don't know, they're way fucking worse than anime fans, because they're ALWAYS gross smelly men. This con is 80% dudes.

The other half is dudebros who want to be nerds because of Deadpool and Marvel movies.

And, it's all one big fucking exhibit hall. At 8pm, shit's just done. I wanna stay up and party and actually make some friends.

Fuck man go to any other con. ACen. Anime Midwest. Con Alt Delete.

Comic cons are the fucking worst.

Oh, and cosplay. It's MAYBE 10% of attendees. Nope.

If you want good cosplay, check ACen and Midwest.

Maybe some people are actually interested in more than animes and mangos? I'm not big on comics but I still like /co/ content. And it's nice browsing the dealers hall. I made quite a few friends from the speed dating, and despite knowing little to nothing about the panels and guests, I still found it a nice, new experience compared to Acen.

Also Yaya Han is so tiny in person.

But anime cons are a lot more than anime and manga. There's cosplay, the dances, the various guests.

At comic cons like C2E2, really the WHOLE focus is on:
1. A big dealers room (great for like.... five hours, then you're done)
2. Paying to see guests

Most of the panels are crap, cost money, or are hard to get into.

And I don't go to the panels at acen, nor the rave, and I honestly almost never care about the guests unless it's a certain VA. The things you claim to dislike, I don't care about. I just like to socialize and see neat things.

I'll remember to do that next time thanks.

That's true, but those who do choose to cosplay put forth some good effort whether they are new to the field or pros who have been at it for years who you can ask freely for advice.

I'll wear my number to all 3 days if you find me and wish to say hi.
