REMINDER
ONLY 4 MORE DAYS
GET HYPED
>>9072733
And yet my wig hasn't arrived
What's gonna be the most abundant cosplay this year?
>>9072748
printed bodysuit dvas
Over watch isnt even anime.
>>9072755
Yes it is
>>9072733
Weeeell shit!
>>9072748
Donald Trump/ Wall and related memes
>>9072755
Anime hasn't been the majority at AX in years
can someone helo me out? i know the dempagumi show is free with a con badge, but where is it and what time? i can't find info on the website
>90 degree weather the entire time during the con
My body is not ready.
>>9072963
Just 90 degrees? Hell yeah.
>>9072963
90 degrees and dry, or 90 degrees and humid?
I'm a dude and my love live skirt isn't coming in time. Neither is my nico wig.
So I'm stuck with a regular dark navy blue skirt and using my actual hair to attempt Nico.
can we show our pre-reg receipts on our phone or do we HAVE to print them?
>Not a Love Live fan
>Decided to give the new series a chance to see why Love Live is popular
>Buy ticket to the Love Live Aquors event
>Find out it's a not a full concert, but a mini concert with a silly talk show
>Autograph schedule released
>Find out SUSHIO and Shintani are having autograph sessions during Love Live event
Fuck AX!!
>People complaining about lack of panels
>People complaining how fan panels that were accepted are moved into the smaller rooms
I hope AX continues phasing out fan panels. The guests they're bringing are awesome and fan panels are usually shit.
This a wonderful direction they're going.
>order final thing off of etsy
>messages seller to make sure it'll come time
>says she'll mail it out by 11am this morning so it'll for sure get there in time for me
i love people sometime
>>9073051
Assuming it was like last year, using your phone should be okay.
little bit of advice for folks, eat a multivitamin everyday this week and each day of con to keep your energy up
also if you fear con-SARS or flu consune 3 grams of vitamin C everyday
realistically you're more likely to do those 2 things than get the sleep you need
>>9072963
Are you kidding me? 90 isn't that bad for Los Angeles/Southern California. Start complaining when it gets in the 100s, faggot.
Is there any new forum for room sharing this year? Friend flaked on me and it looks like the AX forums are completely gone.
>>9072963
>Went through a few days of 110+ degree weather in AZ
90 is nothing desu
>>9073017
Buy a wig at con! Sucks about the skirt though.
>>9073017
Bruh, you can def find a wig at con.
As for the skirt, see if you can find someone selling one they don't want on coscom and fb cosplay sales groups, who's also going to AX. Frequently people will do in person pick-ups so they don't have to deal with shipping and the post office
Excited but at the same time depressed because it'll be another year I'm reminded I don't have any weeb friends whereas everyone else and their fucking mom seems to magically find them somehow.
>>9073265
No one "magically" finds anybody. They put some effort in.
>>9073265
make friends at con and meetup with us
>>9073267
I've tried anon, but maybe once I transfer to UC it'll be easier, no one really socializes at community colleges.
>>9073270
I thought about going to the cgl group but from what others told me it's just everyone getting really drunk and I don't drink so I'd feel awkward
>>9073272
I'm in community college and I do. But I actually have a personality and hobbies. Stop blaming it on your environment. Join clubs, use the Internet, etc
>>9073279
people aren't drunk at the start, just split off with the non-drinkers when the drinkers start
not that hard
>>9073172
I am willing to split a room anon, using my throwaway/span email
What cosplay are you NOT looking forward to seeing?
>>9073352
Ponies, Homostuck, Undertale.
What are ya'll going as?
>>9073279
Not everyone drinks senpai.
(I don't atleast)
Looking for a fourth person to split a room with at the LA Hotel Downtown. Check in is on the 30th and check out is on the 4th. Your share of the hotel would be $250. Might be 1 or 2 beds, won't know until we check in. We will hang out with you if you'd like. Email me if you're interested.
>>9073410
BB come back </3
>>9073094
This and it seems the people who do fan panels sounds autistic as fuck. Take your shit to ALA.
>>9073434
I had my first experience with fan panels at Fanime at the Tokyo ghoul panel and it was probably the most cringe thing I've ever forced myself to sit through
>>9073410
Thanks, I'll probably stop by the cgl meet up I guess.
This is a strange question, but do you think LACC security would freak out if I brought in a non-transparent insulated water bottle?
>>9073448
Yes idiot, security will be at an all time high ever since the Orlando shooting.
>>9073448
I brought my insulated Klean Kanteen last year and had zero issues. Security is a bit laughable really, but if they had given me a hard time I would have just emptied it out in front of them and refilled at a water fountain.
>>9073056
Wow, you're a dumbass.
>>9073056
>buying a ticket for a event for a series you don't even care about
>not doing any research to see what the event was
>>9073006
Arid, LA is essentially in a desert.
>>9073475
Hey are you going to be the Mexican for the Trump group?
>>9073448
Yeah, not sure how the security will be this year, usually it's a huge joke. I usually bring a first-aid kit as well, but I'm wondering if they'll let it pass.
>>9073512
If you want me to be, bby.
>MFW Linecon on a hot and humid as fuck Day 0
I wish AX would take a page out of SDCC and create RFID badges and mail them out
>>9073549
AX linecon is more like fifteen minute con
How hard is it to ghost AX?
>>9073580
Panels, exhibit hall, gaming hall, second floor, they check badges. Just to get into the common areas no badge needed so if you wanted to people watch or see cosplayers it'll be no problem
>>9073265
i'd be down to hang out with you anon!!
First time AX goer, just saw information on autographs and how fucking early do I actually have to line up to even have a chance?
>>9073614
i've heard some people say that they're gonna camp the line at midnight but idk. 4 am should be fine
>>9073614
Depends on who you want and who else is autographing that day and the popularity of each
I likes the free for all better because you didn't need to sacrifice sleep
So is there a facebook group for the meet-up?
>>9073632
Nope, info well be posted here. Typically it is 7pm or 8pm on all days. Location will be outside the main hall where the exhibit hall is located.
I hope they sell sock glue at dealers, because I fucked up and didn't order one.
I've collected everything I need to pack together and shit is charging.
I'm pleased to debut my cosplay battery pack this AX. I hope it gets good reception.
>>9073549
Last year they kept the stalls open until midnight on day 0 and I went at 10pm and there wasn't a line. Nothing happens on day 0, just wait until it cools off
>>9073580
Exhibit hall is easy to ghost with three people, two with badges go in, one with two badges comes out, then two go in again.
Everything else doesn't work that we'll or consistently. I did that exhibit hall trick at least 10 times last year, but you can't use it for anything else.
>>9073725
Reg is noon to midnight on day 0 again this year so plenty of time
Poor people who camped overnight last year day -1 lmao
Last year there was a Slayer from Guilty Gear, anyone have pics?
>>9073105
>order final thing in etsy a week ago with priority shipping
>can literally fit in an envelope but hasn't been shipped yet
I'm platinum mad. Send them a message but haven't heard anything back.
>Shoes I ordered for cosplay finally arrive.
>They're incredibly uncomfortable, to the point where I wouldn't wear them for a normal day out, let alone on the convention floor.
>It's too late to get different shoes.
>>9073857
uncomfortable because they need better insoles and to be broken in?
>>9073857
I'm waiting for shoes to be delivered today. Oh God I hope the same doesn't happen to me
>>9073056
I'll take it off your hands
>>9073351
not the same anon but how much $$$ would you be asking?
>>9073964
150 since I'm semi far (I am by the airport since I booked late and I normally solo travel)
>>9073967
how many other people are you staying with?
>>9073972
myself. I book solo 99.9% of the time
>>9072748
I'd rather take Tracers over Meis or shitty zentai D.VA
Has anyone gotten ahold of Beanie? Are they even attending AX this year?
there's two vip for Anisong World Matsuri if anyone wants them.
>>9073992
They was in the last thread. It looks like they'll be there this year.
So am I really gonna have to cover half of my gun in blue duct tape to get it peace bonded?
>>9074037
For free?
To anyone who has beaten my bids on the BlazBlue Noel banners in the past few years.
>FUCK YOU
On another note, Im bidding 400 this time around.
>>9073172
Sorry to hear that, my group flaked on me too, we had 10 people going and 2 rooms. Now only 2 people in my group are going, and we're driving up each day. Also AX Forums hasn't been around for a couple years. They got tired of people expressing their opinions on how AX could be made better as a con.
Who else can't sit down in their cosplay?
>>9074115
>10 people
what the fuck happened
>>9074037
Four now, I swear if I knew seats were gonna open up, I would have waited. Fuck this system.
>>9074123
I don't blame them. I'm still salty from the song polls.
Any tips for making friends and not being a beta degenerate loner? First time going to a con here.
>>9074127
You cosplaying or not? Makes it easier.
>>9074127
cosplay and be yourself. if you're boring and ugly then it'll be harder.
>>9074127
talk to the cosplayers you take pictures of, talk to people in the line next to you
or just ask people in this thread if they wanna hang out
>>9074127
>friends
>that AX facebook group drama over weed
>>9074141
Where can I get some?
>>9074141
link pls
>>9074141
It was hilarious tho. I'm surprised im not banned from that group desu
>>9074142
What can you offer in return?
>>9074141
groups/animeexpo/permalink/10157189908255096/
groups/animeexpo/permalink/10157190592970096/
there was one more post but i think it was deleted
>>9074151
Fucking cash? A blowjob/rimjob? I dunno, the fuck do you want?
>>9074151
Cute anime girls?
>>9073992
Of course, I've just been busy with work and getting fucked up in preparation for AX.
>>9073753
i hate when that happens :(
would it be annoying to cosplay madoka? i'm going to AX last minute and it's the only cosplay I have on hand
>>9074162
How in any way would it be annoying?
I'll be wearing my Make America Great Again hat to Anime Expo. Can't wait.
>>9074162
just wear it, no one will care
>>9074162
I saw like 10 characters from Madoka last year, albeit I didnt really look around that much and I was in panels/events.
>>9074141
tbf those people are just as annoying as the ones who are drunk
>>9074108
What does it look like?
>>9074162
Why would it be?
Are you a qt Madoka?
>>9074177
I dunno man, I've only ever known one annoying stoner out here in SoCal where more of my friends are stoners than not
>>9074157
Joking aside, if you have a place to smoke I suppose I can bring a bit along. I initially wasn't going to as I did last year.
>>9074127
If you want a friend I'll hang with you!
>>9074210
a/s/l
>>9073857
dude if possible, speaking from past experience go without the uncomfortable shoes and opt for something, anything more comfortable.
At the very least pack a pair of flats/flip flops/ whatever to change into.
>>9074141
>that AX facebook group drama over every little thing
>>9074127
I'll chill with you for a bit. I'm going to the Mega64 panel on day 1 and I'd love to not be going alone.
>>9074212
fuck off, you clearly dont want a friend
go elsewhere for sexual interactions
>low 80s all AX weekend
>>9074240
how big is your dick.
Made a post on the cosplay forum and thought I'd post here too. Looking for people to share hotel costs with me and my friend. We had 5 people and lost 3 of them. $250 but willing to negotiate at this point. posted my spam email to contact me for more info~
I got my #maga hat. Lets do this
I want to wear my Trump shirt since that seems to be the main meme this year but I don't want to be murdered, so I'll wear my Hillary for Prison shirt instead. See you guys there. Also anyone willing to sell a maga hat?
>>9072794
Yeah, when and where? Does anybody know?
>>9074296
Amazon selling a sorts of maga hats with free 2 day shipping. I have a real one, but due to libtards actions of being super friendly to people who believe in something else, I'm bringing my fake one.
>>9074307
And ordered. I didn't think of that. Thanks anon.
>>9074127
I suck at talking to people. I understand your struggle. I wanted to make friends but I feel like if I actually meet people I won't talk.
>>9074307
Oh shit Trump gathering at ax? Praise kek
I hate being the mom of the group but it always fucking happens, it's like noone gives a fuck about the scheduling whatsoever. We haven't even registered yet and just confirmed transportation yesterday.
I hope this at least increases my chances at being a successful househusband in the future or some shit.
Oh wow, I didn't realize that AX is in four days.
>Inb4 hotels on fun lockdown a la Fanime
I'll stop by and say hi on Friday though
Make sure you don't join the kik group. There's so many cringey guys in there.
the kik group is so cancerous, this dude keeps hitting on me. Don't join the kik group.
>>9074427
are the boys cute?
>>9074430
There are only boys. But yes.
>>9074429
I think I know who you're describing. I'll deal with him for you
these honeyposts are surprisingly relaxing
>>9074447
MDOS MAKE THEM STOP! I'm allergic
>>9074444
>>9074445
anyone else find these arousing?
>>9074451
No, you fucking freak
wait what is the kik group ive been absent for awhile
>>9074460
it's a front for a gay orgy, don't bother.
>>9074460
It's just a bunch of edgy shitposters. It's really cringey don't even bother. Only half of them are decent but it's not really worth it.
>>9074465
Invite please
>>9074474
You're too pure for this.
>>9074477
beanie is a cinnamon bun, too pure for this world... except the icing is semen and its sprinkled with cocaine
>>9074474
>>9074409
I play the dad role a lot at cons. But if they go past the point of reason with their stupidity, I let them fall on their face.
Relationship drama has happened to me in the past. She broke up and cheated with him the same con, obviously not in that order. We were all staying in the same room. Awk as fuck.
>>9074494
Lmao, maybe that was me, I stayed in a room with some people and one of the girls told me she didn't have a boyfriend...I'm sure you know how that ended.
it's lit senpai
>>9074506
>plant
>>9074507
>PICK
>>9074506
Holy shit, yes, this is an amazing idea. What's the link?
>>9074527
sekrit club
>>9074530
O-oh. It is a good idea though. Can I borrow it?
>>9074532
You can borrow nothing.
>>9074532
"no"
lmfao the admins of the AX fans group have declared that any mention of drugs is an automatic kick
look what you started, guy requesting that people not get stoned so you don't get nauseous.
Is the wristband policy at hotels even ever enforced?
>>9074583
last year it was one hotel and they gave up after one day
this year it's all block hotels and who knows. chances are they'll give up.
>Other side of the country
I-It's not like I wanted to make some qt friends and take fun pictures anyway...
>>9074443
Kik this fag.
You should also start purging the chat.
I don't want to have drama again, so I'll just propose it.
Female /cgl/ meet at 8:30 PM July 1st?
>>9074686
>I don't want to have drama again
what even happened last time?
>>9074694
Guys started saying gulls were all petty meanies because they wanted their own meet and lots of KIK drama. I'd rather not rekindle it, it led to a ton of shitposting.
>>9074686
Unless you have a private group, this isn't gonna happen. And it's a bit late now.
>>9074697
Meetups have formed on less notice.
>>9074696
Cmon senpai, no one honestly cares about girls wanting to have thier own meet-up.
You all just don't organize it. I mean are you really gonna post a all girl meet-up here?
You'll end up with party crashers.
>>9074702
Yeah but it seems no one wants to oragnize it. And a all girl meet-up needs more organization than your run of the mill one.
Better take the reigns. Only 2 more days till day 0.
>>9074686
Ignore the shitposters. My friend and I will come. Where?
>>9074722
I made a Google doc. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Uh-CQ6SRDNMyRn58ByInyH3atnDAeELaHbKbLilLUoc/viewform
>>9074714
I'm not, i hope it turns out well desu.
I just haven't seen any meaningfull progress or attempt.
Bar the google doc post i just saw posted.
Anyways wish you all luck.
What alcohol do people enjoy at the meetups?
Do people enjoy hard liqour in the group? Thinking of bringing some rum
Anyone going to Teddyloid on saturday that'd be willing to let me tag along with them? I get the feeling this is the sort of event that's more fun with other people. Or that going alone makes you look like some loser.
>>9074777
Literally nobody is going to be judging you. A majority of people in the lounge are going alone anyways and it's going to be packed to shit.
Are you dressing up at all?
>>9074773
I dunno, but whenever I join I bring a blue label with me.
that feel when working multiple 12 hour days to flex friday off
hopefully I can do a bit of remote work thursday to arrive at con then
Has anyone ever been to one of their parties? it's free so my friends and I were thinking about going.
>>9074800
Gross, why would you?
>>9074802
probably tiddies
>>9074786
I guess, but even past that, as a general sort of thing, I think I'd still just feel more comfortable being able to go with other people.
But anyway no, I'm not dressing up or anything.
>>9074800
it's fairly tame, if you're interested you should check it out anyway
Alright gulls. /cgl/ meetups will be at 7pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Location will be outside main buliding (where exhibit hall is located) on all 3 nights. Anyone is welcome to come. Just no drama please.
Where's a good place to park for all 4 days? Is Union Station the best option? I can't imagine it would fill up.
>>9074861
Wat why not the usual 8?
That's gonna conflict with some great panels if we do it at 7
>>9074897
Thats what I meant, dunno why I put 8.
This is why you get cucked
>>9074764
`I can't respect other people rights that doesn't fit my agenda`
>>9074777
I'm going with my guy there. Don't mind having another tagging along
>>9074911
>>9074861
can you mark the location on the con map?
out front is usually pretty busy
>>9074729
Can I tag along if my girl is attending?
>>9074939
I'm sending out confirmation emails shortly, so have her email me.
On a side note - six gulls have already filled out the form! I think we'll have a good turnout.
>>9074965
>>9074973
>>9074974
Remember to report shitposting.
>>9074975
Oh, so shitposting is when people have opinions you don't like?
>>9074975
Geez how is that shit posting? Am I being trolled. I knew cgl was tumblrcore but I'm the one being bullied here! This sexism shouldn't be a thing on this board.
>>9074973
Well that's not very nice, just because I inquired doesn't mean I overlooked the initial statement. Sometimes exceptions are made... Apparently not this time. I'm not stupid... Sorry you hate an entire demographic over the bad impressions of a few, maybe some day you'll see that we're not all bad.
>>9074965
I'm not the creep! You're the one who put the weird replies in!
Why would you even lie about it? Can you guys stop trying to ruin this gathering. I'm honestly really trying to make this happen Thanks
>>9074973
>>9074990
Seriously stop. I'm just trying to get wonderful female cosplayers and lolitas together. I don't hate men but I seriously don't want them there to be making girls uncomfortable. There's just too many weird guys on 4chan
>>9074991
How are my replies in any way weird? What am I lying about? What is going on in your head? Nobody is trying to ruin your gathering... Quit it with the self victimizing attitude. The only thing ruining anything is your attitude little girl.
>>9074991
Why are you assuming just because a gut shows up, they want to get their dick wet?
>>9074998
*guy
>>9074996
The pot calling the kettle black? There are a lot of weird girls on here too... Quit being sexist. A true feminist would not even dare go to your segregated meet.
>>9074729
I'm an MTF and I'll be tagging along too!
>>9075012
But does that make you a boy or a girl?!
>>9075013
Nope... You may want to stop assuming on anonymous image board. I can see how the process of deduction may lead you to possibly fathom that it could have been me but it wasn't.
>>9075018
I identify as a girl with guy parts
I've sent out confirmation emails!
>>9075033
>Post pics of you in cosplay so we can better understand the situation we are working with.
Yeah, uhhhhhhhh no.
I already got my email anyway.
Is anyone willing to be a shopping service for me? Can't make it but they have some some Blue Exorcist merch I've been trying to get for awhile. All my friends who are going are working
>>9072733
I'm looking for video game related things. I hear Square Enix is supporting the expo. Does this mean they will have a booth with Square related things like Capcom did last year?
Has anyone ever shared a badge? I'm too poorfag so my friend is letting me borrow his badge when he's not a the con and was wondering if anybody has ever gotten caught doing this.
>>9075083
Unless you do something retarded or go to an event that requires identification, you're fine. If you do get in trouble and bad enough at that, you and your friend will be blacklisted for future AXs. How long? Might be a lifetime ban.
>>9075089
The only thing I plan on doing besides going to exhibit hall is go to the zun panel, and that shouldn't require ID.
>>9075096
You'll be fine then. There will be some giveaways at the exhibit hall where they scan the QR code at the back of the pass. Try not to go for those if you can. Have it hanging on your neck or belt with a lanyard already for easy view by security or staff. The more you hide it the more they're more likely to inquire about it if they deem the need for it. In any case, have fun!
>>9075096
What is zun?
>>9075106
The creator if the greatest game franchise ever made
>>9075122
Regardless if you think the series itself is garbage the music is spectacular and he composed it all himself.
>>9075122
do not bully the 2hus
>>9075122
>having a low powerlevel
>gets treated like shit because of said low powerlevel
>has a tantrum over being called out on lowe powerlevel
You do realize where you are, right?
>>9075124
Yea I keep hearing about the 5 people who love this game and it's music. I gave it a shot and it's not really great at all. It's at best mediocore and the game itself is garbage.
Not that I really care. You're free to enjoy what you like but that's my personal take on it.
>>9075129
>using Kik
You must be over 18 to post here.
>81 degrees on Friday
>79 degrees on Saturday
>80 degrees on Sunday
>81 degrees on Monday
Is this the coolest AX ever?
>>9075164
It's only cool because you'll be there, anon
>>9075169
She's going to choke
The prospect of an all female /cgl/ meetup is absurd and just seems like creeper bait to me. If someone is having a problem with the meetup times I can request security to come by and chaperone a meetup.
If we're having multiple meetups the main one would be the Friday evening one at 8pm.
>>9075180
>Friday
>Assuming I don't have a life like you
No thanks then. I'm only coming Saturday.
>>9074777
What time is teddyloid playing?
Anon with hotmail address, I'm sorry but your email address was marked undeliverable. If you try with a new address, I'll resend it~
>>9075179
hot
>>9075180
Why is it absurd? In the (very) unlikely event somebody actually tries to harass us we'll be in public and request they leave us alone.
