Nice vendetta.
Is it possible to set up hotel reservations for Anime Expo yet? I allegedly got put on a waiting list back in August, but I haven't heard anything from them since. I don't even know which hotel(s) are attached to/within walking distance of the convention center.
The hotel block doesn't seem open yet anon. But keep in mind if you're going with friends that the hotels will apparently now be doing wristbands. http://www.anime-expo.org/hotel-booking-policies/
None of the hotels are connected or really even super close to the con, but it shouldn't really matter because AX provides a shuttle service you can take back and forth from the con as long as you have a badge.
>>8836986
Will I just have to walk and/or take a taxi to go to the con to actually get my badge and stuff the day before it starts? That sucks, but I guess it can't be helped.
>>8836999
I'm honestly not 100% sure, the shuttle may run on day 0. (It did a few years ago and was a life saver) But otherwise, yeah.
Anyone got one to share (from either a staff member OR a attendee POV it doesn't matter)
The only one I can think of is a security guard at AX losing his shit at a girl for standing outside the dealer's hall (when it wasn't even that crowded) and then threatening to kick her out of the con when she started walking to get away from him and he took it as her ignoring him
I went to a small con by myself. I spent time wandering around and people watching because my friends weren't there yet. A man from security accosted me 3 times and asked me why I was passing by so often. It was like he'd never seen an adult woman alone before. I had to pass by his table to go to the bathroom and he would say something to me or try to make eye contact every time he saw me, even when I was with my friends who showed up later.
Not really a horror story, but he made me uncomfortable.
Someone a year++ ago confirmed that he was hotel staff and that at a convention (dragoncon?) They had to bring in hazmat suits because a room was entirely caked in fecal matter (tv, bed, ceiling fan, etc)
People called bullshit until he posted his hotel badge and credentials lmao

Bump because this kind of thing is highy interesting to me.
Only thing I've ever had happen was this one time when I was in a line and a staffer (some volunteer fuck, not one of the real staff) started yelling at us to "GET AGAINST THE WALL", like we were convicts or some shit. It didn't matter that we were standing real close to the wall, and weren't impeding anyone or anything. Oh, no. We HAD to be all up on that wall like lizards before they were satisfied.
If you tell a volunteer...

Come on gulls give me something to draw
Apparently there is going to be a figure of a gender bent Luffy from One Piece. I figured that this was as good as any time to post Rule 63 cosplay pics from One Piece, as well as just a Rule 63 general thread, I suppose.

I think I'm probably the only one who cares but the inner weeb in me is really pumped for mikuexpo...

when is it?
will it be in LA this year?
>>8850142
i was at the new york stop in 2014. the concert was amazing, the expo itself blew, shit venue couldnt handle the crowd. spent 45 minutes in a line on the sidewalk talking to some people who came all the way from japan.
http://mikuexpo.com/na2016/
Already got my VIPs for the Microsoft Theater.
It says "Miku Expo" but I'm not sure if it's going to be an actual festival with the little exhibit and such like a couple of years ago. I'm thinking so far it's only the concert.

Idk anons that lady was a godsend, my feet were in so much pain and she was so sweet. Makes me sad how hotel staff can get treated so poorly during cons.
Discuss shopping services (Japan & China).
Ask your questions here.
>>8845870
I'm so overwhelmed by all the SSs available. How do I go about choosing one? I'm interested in buying from zozo and kera shop
I have a question about Japanese shopping services that let you bid on auction sites.
Normally, I use Buyee a lot, not the cheapest but I like how easy it works and that they only bill you after you've won, so no deposits of any kind.
The only downside is, that they won't let you edit the amount on the invoice.
Sometimes I use from Japan so I can change the invoice on the package, to avoid or reduce customs the high fees we get in the Netherlands.
But unlike Buyee, From Japan (and Japonica) requires a full in-advance deposit (I understand why that is not...

I have been looking for a shopping service where you don't have to use paypal at all. The one I used to use is on hiatus.
I also really prefer more personal shopping service instead of a company, like the ones there used to be on livejournal (I always used the service of momoirokumasan, she was a darlinh)

I'm going to be image dumping alternate j-fash
Can we get a thread going of celebrities (preferably western ones) wearing cosplay or j-fashion?
>>8841483
Dumping what I have. Most of it's really old but at least it's something.
>>8841485
Both good and bad attempts are allowed
This includes bad interpretations of J-fashion
Last one died just when it started to get more active, lets keep the discussion going.
Anyone going to Tsunacon?
I am, not sure if it's worth the 20 euros though.
Anyone still lurking the discussion on Aniway about AA's as well?
They started talking about fanart and all, and during the entire thing all I can think about is that there art simply isn't good at all which is why they aren't selling shit.
So is Otakon a sinking ship at this point? Seems like it. Post other cons that aren't worth the time/money/effort.
/thread
I have an enjoyable time at otakon.
The real issue is they can not have the registration break like they do every year. It's the only pain to me.
I hate to say it because it's my "home con," but if you're into the con scene for cosplay, Anime Expo, unless you're a local.
It's just too big and crowded, too hot, and there's nowhere good for photos. It's obviously a different story if you're attending to go to panels and screenings or for exclusive merchandise, but if you're a cosplayer and thinking about flying to it, I recommend against it. The only exception, I guess, would be if you're super hungry for fame and exposure, because you're guaranteed to get...

I'll review most of everything, I will also take a photo swimming with everything hah.
I'm also using SpreeNow. They have higher shipping rates but the customer service is A+ so imo it's worth it.
For those of you who still want fukubukuros, BoBon21 just released their LPs.
