Everything Fanime did AX did better. Holy cow this was the most one sided fight I've ever seen.
>>9088304
How big is fanime?
why was teddyloid such a hottie
Are we live?
Alright, let's continue.

First time going to AX in 2017. A couple of questions. I bought a regular 4 day pass, how fucked am I in terms of getting into a decent panel? How soon do hotel blocks open?
>>9088329
>>9088334
>>9088331
>how fucked am I in terms of getting into a decent panel?
Super fucked. line up 2 hours before hand
Youll get in maybe 2-3 a day if your do tthis
>>9088337
>>9088331
>how fucked am I in terms of getting into a decent panel?
as long as you dont have any plans before whatever panel you want to go to, you should be fine.
and by that i mean, youre basically gonna have to line up at least 2-3 hours before your panel starts. of course this depends on the panel. if its some world premiere/ announcement kinda panel, then expect that 2-3 hour wait.
>How soon do hotel blocks open?
couple months before the con starts? i live in the LA area so never paid attention to hotel block dates.
>>9088340
Snuck in this picture while a slightly more professional photographer was setting up...something. I love the almost visible question marks floating above Kiki's head.

Just a quick break in the cosplay, the Toei booth was decked out in three sections for Dragon Ball Super, Sailor Moon and that new One Piece movie respectfully.
>>9088347
looks like they're tryin to green screen to change the background
>>9088357
As a reminder, AX will have a preview night on day zero next year. Plan accordingly.
>>9088360
>>9088359
I think the scary part is that he didn't explain what was going on the green screen, or at least I didn't catch it. But I'm pretty sure she didn't either.
>>9088367
Also, what the fuck AX?
>>9088369
>>9088371
Got lucky and happened to be passing by when they were doing a photo shoot.
>>9088373
>>9088369
No lie this shit looked comfy as fuck.
>>9088378
>>9088341
It's cheaper to buy it when they first ate for sell. Black Friday deal was 58. First sale is 54
>>9088381
>>9088384
The light on Luluco's head was actually spinning. Pretty neat.

>>9088401
>literally spent 2 of the 4 days walking around just taking cosplay pictures.
>see people post a bunch of cosplays that I didnt run into at all
shit makes me mad sometimes.
>>9088405
>>9088404
Can't say for sure. It was one of those hallway pictures which means if I stopped for small talk I probably would have been murdered for congesting traffic.
The Studio TRIGGER panel was a fucking party.

Still had a ton of fun though
WHO THE FUCK WAS AT THE COWBOY BEBOP PANEL?
Did you think the girl thanking them for helping her get over suicide was:
A. A touching moment
B. Attention whoring
I thought it was A but wanna hear your thoughts
>>9088531
It takes a lot of strength to say something like that, especially in front of all those people. I think she said it because she felt she needed to, not to garner sympathy or attention. It's her way of thanking them and letting them know how they have helped people.
>>9088534
why not like email them or something then
>>9088531
bit of column A and B
>>9088538
It's not as personal for a lot of people. Also, I'm not her so I really don't know what went through her mind, just empathizing.
>>9088531
It's not attention whoring. When you're in a really shit place and can anchor on something in your life, and you bounce back, its scary to look back and realize how much you relied on that thing. Talking about it can help, and it can help others too.
>>9088534
>>9088542
Yeah, those weren't crocodile or daddy issues tears, those were the tears of someone who's life is nothing but pain
Goddamn the way her voice broke and she could barely say thank you had me feelin'
Really classy of them to give her a hug, also bonus points to her for saying sorry beforehand, she knew she was taking up time with what she had to say
>>9088539
elaborate
>>9088541
I personally don't deal with severe depression or suicidal tendencies, but some of my best friends have and it's absolute shit to witness people you care about suffer this way, so in that way I related
also the girl cosplaying Fay had a STUPID FAT ASS GODDAMN I WANTED TO SMASH
I miss memeing with /cgl/
No more normies
>>9088283
they needed more loli merch
"When do we get to the panel?"
"This IS the panel! YIPEEEEEE"
>>9088350
Oh wow didn't expect to see one of my friends pop up in these threads.
Tbh I started getting sick day 1 and just powered through it with drugs and alcohol. 100% regret right now, never doing that again.
Got to hang with lots of qt guys and grils though, didn't even pick up my badge, got to hang out with Pixel all weekend, had a good time.
Also I think I saw some gulls at the Westin (maybe?) so there's that.
>>9088571
That cringy discord led by that annoying asian manlet was 100% non-cgl, gross.
>>9088329
>>9088418
I saw a 2 chicks dressed like this in artist alley. They both had their asses hanging out. One had a thong, the other had no underwear.
>>9088637
So dirty. I hope those onesies were burned.
>>9088639
what discord?
>>9088639
hey anna, you're a cunt
>>9088411
>hey let's flash everybody!
CITATION NEEDED
>>9088498
This Mei was great
>>9088735
Yeah, me too. They were haggling last day in an artist alley booth so wasn't exactly an opportunity for a photo.
>>9088842
>>9088845
>>9088846
>>9088849
>>9088636
shes cute
O hey did anyone meet the seagull who cosplayed Ooyodo on Fri and Chikuma on Sat in her Chikuma outfit? She said she might come to the meet but didn't. Im curious!
>>9088744
Are you kidding me???
He saw the top of her areola sticking out, instead of warning her, her just snaps the picture, posts it online and let's the whole world see it.
Disgusting, this is why cosplay photographers are creepy as heck.
There was a really nice Galko cosplayer around but I didn't ask for her picture. Anyone take pictures of Galkos?
>>9088436
these girls look like twins
>>9088492
how does this compare to other years?
>>9088534
it takes a lot of strength to streak, but it doesn't make the person less of an attention whore.
>>9088550
>those weren't crocodile or daddy issues tears, those were the tears of someone who's life is nothing but pain
never underestimate an attention whore's power of deception.
>>9088636
how old is she?
>Forgot to friend some seagulls online
>Probably wont be able to get contact info until next meet up
Last year's /cgl/ gathering
Ok so you faggots meming about the pink shirt guy shit actually got me in trouble as a guy who was wearing a pink shirt. My girlfriend thinks i got a sloppy blowjob. When i wasn't even at the meet up on sunday. I was the other guy with a pink shirt at the westin. I wasn't even white or fit. So now she thinks that was me. Meme magic is real.
>>9088929
You could post who you were wanting and if they check here, they could give you a throwaway email or something!
Had fun again this year. Parts of my gundam were falling apart by the end of day 3, but for the most part I enjoyed wearing it.
The anisong concerts were great and FLOW was hype. I think they were the best part of my weekend.
>>9088932
take a pic of your shirt and timestamp, otherwise it's you that's the memer
>>9088932
Get fucked pink shirt guy
>>9088304
You're comparing MLB to the neighborhood little league, dude.
AX has always been an enormous industry con. Fanime has always been a lowkey fandom-and-chill con. It's inching towards industry stuff, but it's not there by any means. AX has been this way for years.
>>9088938
Thanks a lot faggots.
>>9088932
I did hook up with someone in a pink sure at the Westin party though.
We just hung out inside for a while and took a walk away from the party after.
Eventually, we got to a nice area and relaxed a bit together.
It's super hard finding alone time at these cons when I don't have a room to myself! The guy said we couldn't go to his room either.
Were there multiple pink shirt guys?
>>9088949
Stop with the memes already. You guys completely fucked me.
>>9088935
Sure, Lets see if it works before the threads die.
Shy and her boyfriend I forgot to give my battle.net code info.
DIckbutt guy forgot to add him
German anon I got beer with was cool.
>>9088950
I'm not kidding.
Although it was late, it was really fun. There were probably multiple guys in a pink shirt.
That makes sense, right? One was a white guy I hear (didn't see), the other was an okay looking guy imo, but I got along with him really well.
Maybe you were a third guy?
>>9088955
I bet there is an anon in this thread who had a white shirt and thinks we are all talking about him
>>9088955
I was the guy who said i was mexican and voting trump. I talked with like 4 diff groups of seagulls. The grouo near freeman by the lounge chairs, the guys with rumchata, green light dude group giving free booze, and the macross cosplayers. Clear my name you fuckers.
>>9088955
nice meme
>>9088885
>implying people know what's in the photo half the time before pressing the button
How the fuck do you think photo bombing happens?
>>9088958
Right? haha
Just because you had a pink shirt and I hooked up with a pink shirt guy and there was this alpha male pink shirt guy, he thinks we mean -him-.
pft
Most of the guys weren't good looking or with a girl, so I had to make do with what I had.
If the one I was with last night is the same as in this thread, than your gf can keep you lmao.
>>9088965
Shut the fuck up Shy
>>9088948
Nice photoshop.
>>9088904
Youve been on the internet too long buddy. You cant even tell whats attention whoring and sincerity. Nowadays people take anything that stands out as attention whoring. Theres nothing wrong with wanting to express your heartfelt gratiude directly to the people who have changed your life. People want to connect their feelings with other people and know it got through, rather than sending intangible pieces of data through the internet and hope they check their emails from random people.
>>9088965
Except that wasn't me you fucking mongolid. The pink shirt meme guy was apparantly white and super fit. When im mexican and skinnh. It's not that i think that's me retard it's that my gf thinks it was me because i had a pink shirt.
>>9088971
Maybe she's the retard?
Either way, if it was you, you didn't act all crazy uppity and you were cooler offline than on.
Go fuck yourself.
>>9088977
Or maybe the retard is you for sleeping with random people you std infested bitch? Take a seat you stupid fucking hoe.
>>9088978
I didn't sleep with them.
We took a walk and just kissed a bit.
Like I said, we couldn't find an actual place and I'm not about to have sex on the streets in a city.
>>9088979
Pics or didn't happen.
>>9088980

db guy here, you lost my business card as well? ~_~
they dont really work I guess since I handed out more than 200 and only got 4 new twitter followers lol
I dont ask people for their info in case it makes them uncomfortable
>>9089007
>>9089008
i pulled that shit out fumbling for my ID at the airport
idk i joined the irc chat but it seems ded
>>9089009
>>9089008
oh shit, I forgot I still had that card in my backpack.
>>9088961
if anything saying you talked to all those different groups makes you sound like the real pink shirt since all those groups infos match up about pink shirt
>>9089015
>First time this year
>Got some shit hotel 15min drive away
>Was going to try and get the Marriott for next year
>All rooms taken already
That's insane
most hotels around the area already taken for next year as well. Got one at the Sheraton which looks pretty nice and isn't far, but damn.
I want to cosplay as well, but I've never done it before. I have a few friends and we all agreed to do some ez Sailor Moon stuff, but I'm not even sure how to begin. I guess I have a year to figure it out.
>>9089011
yeah the irc is pretty slow, also I've been at work burnt out all day
I loved this Samus. Anyone have a name or more pictures?
>>9089023
wait really? for AX 2015 I had to get out of the shitty Figurera hotel and I just walked into the mariott and got a room the night of
>>9089029
So the grill I spent the night with on sunday totally has a bf.
I am now depressed.
>>9088984
>At the expense of no AC and hardly anyone breaking even
im really curious about the percentage of artists that dont break even on the table costs, let alone hotel costs vs people who make bank at AX
>Got really cute and nice GF
>But she is normal
>Wondering how I can take her to AX next year and still hang out with seagulls
>>9089028
Well, I have a group of 4. All the double bed rooms were taken.
I think most the rooms were taken already. I'm sure the closer we get to next year some more cancellations might pop up, but fuck not having a room for sure.
But yeah, this is what the hotel scene looks like for july 2017 1st-4th. At least for 2 beds.
All the red dots are full.
>>9089035
>>9089023
Whoa hotels already gone? I gotta be quick then.
>>9089017
He was at the meetup near the pizzabox shit though. I was never there. And like i said i was mexican and skinny. Not the white super fit guy thet were talking about. But you know how girls are. They get super insecure and start thinking the worst shit possible and refuse to listen to reason even with proof. Shes being unreasonable right now and ignoring me. But whatever im over it. The damage is done.
>>9089047
Thats really fucking funny.
Tip top kek
>>9089042
>>9089037
I feel like the people who did pretty good at AX just as an observer were the people offering a good variety of things, like clothing, pins, necklaces, prints especially the new hotness like Overwatch
Also the ones at the ends of the lines I saw be able to handle bigger crowds, and benefit from minicrowds forming around them garnering more interest, as people could observe without being pushed out by the crowd.
While the tables in the middle literally gave you a few seconds to see shit before the crowd pushed you forward.
Also thanks for the free pins for my niece and her buddy.
>>9088987
It went up
Last two years were 80k and 90k
>>9089050
>>9088806
Woah what? Why are you dropping my name? I'm not doing any of the shitposting.
>>9089055
I think you can guess what's on the back
>>9089047
The pizzabox group went -to- the Westin.
>>9089058
But just in case
>>9089040
maybe too early to book them? all i get is
>>9089063
Were there any neps?
>>9089068
>>9089059
Maybe but the thing is i was even snap chatting my gf the whole time. Cuz i thought it would be a smart idea to keep talking to her constantly that way she knows what im up to. But nope. Apparantly i got a blowjob. She knew what i was doing the whole time. I was constantly on my phone with her. But because i had a pink shirt she thinks that was me.
>>9089070
How come no one is applauding the Con Security for taking care of the Columbine dude in South Hall?
How many pics of cosplayers did you take, LC?
>>9089075
I saw the video of a guy getting tackled but didn't know why. Is that the same dude? What are the details?
>>9089071
why does your gf read cgl?
>>9089073
Saw these two last year, they're a hoot
>>9089047
>Shes being unreasonable right now and ignoring me
it's a shit test. she wants to see how beta you get. just alpha up and don't let it get to you. you are a stable and collected, confident man.
>>9089078
Just crazy dude armed with a weapon.
No one will remember him cause Con Ops took him out real quick
What was the worst BO you smelled this year?
>>9089081
>>9089076
Only have a few more
>>9089082
Im not. I pretty much told her im not putting up with her bullshit and im defending myself and if she has a problem with it then too bad. She hasn't responded back. Let's see what happens next.
>>9089086
Myself day 1 after a 6 hour drive with no AC then waiting in line outside, high noon, with no shade for 3 more hours.
>>9089087
>>9089052
we did prints, buttons an earrings and did pretty well on all 3, i saw tons of booths with charms and lanyards and stuff and it makes me wonder how worth it it would be when people are moving so fast through there, only large pieces of art work are really getting looked at
>>9089091
>>9089088
sounds pretty alpha to me. but then again, im on 4chan, so im not the best judge of alphaness
>>9089097
>>9089102
>>9088987
not surprised it went down, badge pickup was HELL. my friends and i all gave up on picking ours up and it sounds like a lot of others did too.

>>9089122
It wasn't the long lines that were the issue, it was being unable to get into panels because the rooms wouldn't be cleared out or AX handed out shitty little rooms that fill up in 2 minutes.
>>9089026
>>9088885
She should learn to use pasties. Anyway no one gives a fuck, it's hardly noticeable.
>>9089122
i've dealt with a few linecons, but my limit was waiting by shit and piss in the blazing sun. that shouldn't be allowed.

hated: the con itself was a mess, hated how badly ax handled the panels and lines this time. AA was also an inferno, why did the game area get so much space?
loved: met tons of awesome gulls over the weekend and saw some great cosplay. westin was lit af. shoutout to freeman and kuro for keeping shit together.
have a safe flight back to the land of the rising sun kuro.
>>9089075
>columbine
>guy didn't even attack anyone
Yeahhhh nope. The convention is an open door for an attacker without even trying very hard. Shit you could just start shooting the lines outside if you wanted because the security doesn't exactly extend out there and it's dense with people in the morning.
>>9089174

Went for my first time this year. What did you guys do all day? I wasn't interested in more than 3-4 panels and the exhibit hall is awesome the first day or two. But I also wanted to go to some of the later stuff, and maybe a party or something. Getting there at 10am and then trying to stay till midnight in that heat is exhausting, plus no seats anywhere and stupid expensive drinks/food.
How do you guys find parties?
Were there more boats or 2hus this year?
>>9089189
read the thread during con and come to the meets
>>9089194
Okay, but I'm worried about autistic fucks here. Are the parties actually good with you slags and neckbeards?
>>9089197
That's for you to find out on your own, Millenial.
>>9089184
he could have been targetting a specific person dude
>>9089197
>but I'm worried about autistic fucks here
the real austic fucks are too scared to actually go to the meetups
>>9089195
ugh I already tried rotating then 2-3 times how can i fix?
>>9088970
This is why we need the Kizuna system.
>>9089203
I was about to agree with you, but then I realized that the super autistic fucks lack self-awareness and will go anyways.
greed
>>9089216
>reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
>>9089200
He's an idiot for getting caught
It's insanely simply to enter the convention center without having to go through the bag check (nevermind how they don't even check your person)
