Love Live Concert, Shoko Nakagawa Concert after a bunch of 4/10 idol groups, getting laid with a cute chubby guy (gay fatchaser here)
>AX 2018 Regrets
Watching Mari Okada’s forced feelsfest instead of going to the Trigger panel (or buy more crap at the dealers hall), I only watched it because it wasn’t going to be showing in my hellhole of an area, and it turned out it was going to show in my hellhole area a few days after the con. Bought Gravity Falls on Blu-ray at AX after finding out my package was sent to my brother while he was vacationing overseas and it also rained, meaning I thought my package was destroyed. Turned out the package was safe as soon as he came back from vacation and I now have a second copy of the box set (at least I don’t have to spend money for my nieces this Christmas, I guess). Also found out Bushiroad had a booth with shit to buy at the last possible second on the final day and everything was sold out.
>Plans for AX 2019
I dunno for sure. Kinda conflicted that a bear / chub run (again, gay fatchaser here) is going to be a few weeks before AX and can only spend on one big event next summer. Most likely gonna pick AX over the bear run, but it still sucks though that I have to choose between getting laid for an entire week or the biggest anime convention in America

First time going to AX/being in LA and I ended up being unprepared for the heat, got really sick and missed a bunch of the con. Had some bad cosplay malfunctions and ended up not cosplaying most of the con.Missed out on a meet up with this itabagging group I'm a part of because of sickness. Depressed on the ride home because I felt like I totally wasted my chance to have a blast at AX because I got sick and some other bullshit.

Day 1 leftover here. We got pushed to day 2. After a half hour they had us go first because they felt bad for us (probably four hours total in just that autograph line at this point). A little after I got my requests they stopped with requests period and sketched whatever they felt like. Wakabayashi was just doing simple stuff (he's a producer anyway).

I do agree that Masayoshi Iimori's set was pretty lame; it was probably the worst one there. Funnily enough, the audience wasn't that pleased either. More people sat down and there weren't as many glow sticks up

Even though I rushed myself around a bit less then previous years I still kinda regret not trying to spend more time talking to people and walking through artist alley.

from the angle it is from the 2nd landing which they were blocking off this year. i did see randoms walking around up there occasionally because they forgot to post a guard at the elevator though. in previous years the public still got to go to the landing but not into the hallway. i guess they changed that because you could theoretically see guests walk through said hallway.

press/industry/staff/guests get to use that section of the top floor. the press lounge, industry lounge, interview rooms, staff rooms, and press conference rooms are in that region.

World class usually. Usually some of the best guests and premieres in the country but that makes the line times for them massive. Had to wait 2 hours last year for the TRIGGER panel (the best strategy is to sit in the panel room through multiple panels beforehand to 100% be sure you got a seat)

Every major large city has its filth. If you stick around the LACC, LA Live, up Figueroa to the Westin you are fine. Actually, all the businesses and restaurants have slowly open up and embraced AX knowing it's an annual cash cow along with E3 and Comikaze Expo. Before in it's first 4 years, many of the restaurants and hotels would treat AX guests like shit.

I've been doing SDCC for about 13 years straight, this year was the only one where I wasn't able to get a ticket at pre-sale nor public. I just nabbed volunteer because my hotel roommate always volunteers and it doesn't seem so bad over the normal ticket process. that's why I'm debating whether to do AX or SDCC because work will only allow me time off for one. I like anime tho all I do at SDCC is mainly go for autographs, a couple of panels, some casual photographing, and since of 2018 now dnd. money is no concern its just should I spend it on SDCC or try AX.

>premier pass
I'm currently on the fence trying to decide if I should go for the premier this time or not. This will be my third year at AX, and skipping the lines sounds amazing, but $475 is pretty steep.
Do you have any experience with the rates and booking that premier pass owners get with hotels? I have a friend considering going next year, and a hotel might be fun. Is the "premier rate" for hotels actually a decent discount, or is it a joke like 10% off?

>> No.10036387

Highlights:
First AX.
First time rooming with randoms and one of them was really chill. I'll get to the other two below.
Met a really cute Ciri cosplayer and we hit it off, we still talk online.
Got a ton of new art
Managed to score some 151 rum which I can't buy where I'm from
JoJo's screening.
Regrets:
Being fat, 320lbs to be exact.
My roommate brought his guns to the hotel.
My other roommate slept 18 hours a day so I couldn't host a room party.
Met a couple girls that offered to sleep with me for drinks, they were 16.
Lines
Got lost in some tent city in an industrial area while trying to find a party off site.
And this is the worst of it. Saturday night I went to the JW Marriot at around 2 am to meet some people. They had this weird guy with them who had a fully nude Darkness body pillow. He had this creepy grin on as he tried to force him self on every girl in the circle we had formed. I don't know why I complimented him on the fucking thing (MDMA?) but that made us best friends in his mind. We were close enough apparently for him to tell me how much he hated his roommates (not at the con with him) and his fantasies about killing them. That's when I left
Next time, not sure what year:
I'm going with people I actually know.
Going to drop at least 100 lbs
Never leaving the venue again
And I'm going to learn how to to tell weird people to fuck off.

No. They all collectively went to shit post 2007.

The only US cons "worth" travelling to the US for are SDCC and NYCC, even if you don't like comics that much. Anime cons are better in your own local community probably.

AX is better run nowadays, but pretty soulless. I don't recommend it to people anymore. I pretty much prefer the "didn't know what the fuck they were doing" days, as they at least had more heart for what they were doing.
