Post con depression thread
Anyone gonna dump those /cgl/ meetup photos?
>tfw didn't go to /cgl/ meetup to hit on the ugly-mediocre chicks
Feels bad man.
Whoops posted in the old thread.
I wanted to go to AX really badly, but I didn't want to go without dressing up in some way, so I let my other hobby bleed into this one a bit and I just wore my gucci Crye stuff and a bunch of /k/ related patches.
Anime Expo fucking sucked this year.
>>9090524
Should go as a /k/ meme next time
So, how many of you did lewd stuff and hooked some hot boys/girls?
Really got a kick out of these guys.
were there any really sexy costumes?
>>9090529
I did some fucking lewd shit. Linked arms with a girl while she took a picture with me, hugged a different girl later that same day.
>>9090543

Just trashy ones.

a million sexy umbreons
>tfw depression setting in
AX was great for me this year. Aqours event was fun, got to meet Anchan, and Dempagumi rocked. Definitely the best year out of the 3 that I've gone. My biggest gripes were staff not knowing what the fuck they're doing as usual, and the artist alley. Hey I've got a good idea. Let's move the artist alley to a huge parking garage, but keep the aisles the same size as they've always been so there's still no walking space. And let's also fill up half the parking garage with 5000 tables for card playing faggots.
>>9090598
also
>lets make an alley with pillars
they could have used up the space of the garage better
To stave off post con depression gonna book shit for Otakon and then Anime Weekend Atlanta for me this year. Who's comin?
>>9090598
They should make the table top gaming smaller, get rid of safe spaces, maximize the space in the petree hall and if possible use the fucking staple center
>>9090703
>staple center
for what?
the actual floorspace is small inside
>>9090694
I'll be going to Otakon
>>9090719
it's like people wanting AX to move to where they have SDCC where it is even smaller
>>9090759
hwee. lets see if there are any meetups already
>>9090527
Brownie guy?
AX was a blast this year! so many cosplays!
https://youtu.be/puxry4wGspI
AX was alright, but hanging out with pink shirt guy was pretty entertaining on Sunday night
The post-con depression is hitting pretty hard this year. I couldn't get a good room, so I just commuted from my house and barely ended up at the actual con, and so it feels like AX came and went and I didn't go. Cons are no fun when you have to go home every night.
Do you think Con Security got a raise for taking out the shooter guy?
>>9090843
what
>tfw friend you expected to be gay, FLAMING flamboyant gay was proven to be gay at AX party at the Westin
>Caught him making out passionately with a bunch of guys while he was prancing around flamboyantly
>Had the nerve to say "I'm not gay or bi at all" afterwards
Whatever you say dude.
I know you fantasize taking it up the ass from all those guys but are too chicken shit to even suck a single dick
It sure does looked weird as I returned home I was so used to the streets I was walking and the metro (which I regret have used it since the shuttles took me just 5 minutes to the apartment I was staying)
>>9090846
Like day one Con Security took down a shooter in South Hall before he could do anything.
Anyone else pick up a minor stomach bug from the con?
>>9090839
Enough. You killed this meme already.
>>9090850
im going to need some mighty proof
Alrighty I'll start a dump of some of my photos.
>>9090841
why didn't you crash with one of us?
I went alone and felt so lonely. How do I become super popular with a huge circle of friends?
>>9090876
why didn't you come to any of the meetups from the threads?
>>9090865
Did you go to AX even?
Do you use any social media?
Thats some NEET status
https://twitter.com/_meIRL_/status/749743588142030848
>>9090888
100 likes and you linked this before.
You're the only guy with this shit. Good for them, but wtf stop pushing your meme.
>>9090901
>actually trying to justify not being aware of the news around them
lol
bet you thought nothing went down at LT either
>>9090908
Speaking of.
Anyone have any idea what was happening on Monday around dusk? the cops had the back street of the mall barricaded off and there were several cop cars/bikes around the area behind the barrier.
It made the doubletree shuttle bus re-route.
>>9090908
I wasn't original poster that you were talking to.
The thing at the elevator you took wasn't known about or blown up.
Little Tokyo was though.
Starting my dump, paid for hotel internet.
>>9090703
Also, why the fuck did they clear out Concourse Hall during day 2? That whole area was empty for most of the day.
>>9090926
>>9090931
>>9090936
Thinking of making a waifu warrior flag next year
>>9090942
>>9090911
Google it.
Some dude walked into a cutlery store and armed himself with a sword. Cops took him down without incident.
>>9090945
>>9090950
>>9090947
That was a different incident.
I'm talking about Monday evening. After the con was over.
>>9090957
Well slap my ass and call me a honky, I didn't know there were two incidents there.
>>9090952
This guy was fucking incredible btw
>>9090759
SDCC has vastly better traffic flow and panel room options. If you've ever been in that hallway in the LACC when a panel is let out you know what I mean
>>9090959
That's what I'm trying to find out.
I mean, it might have just been closed due to construction?
But why all the cops then?
>>9090928
Day 2 had Star Ocean panel and Teddyloid at night, probably to avoid line problems they had to place the sight clear
>>9090962
>>9090888
It wasn't even a shooter. The security is a joke. I passed through with a weapon plenty of times and that's without trying to hide them.
>>9090970
>>9090979
>>9090974
I wonder how to allowed some dudes with chairs? I don't get how to people got blocked because of food, drinks and other harmless stuff at the entrance while others nothing happened.. this year's staff was horrible, they even didn't know when to wait for a line for a certain time when it would already gathered up a lot of people
>>9090881
There were meetups?!
>>9090981
Story time: So someone asked me if that was Bible Black cosplay, and I looked over and sure enough it was. I then walked over boldy and in a rather loud exclamation asked her "Are you cosplaying from Bible Black?!" And they said they were, I got a photo and their coscard. They were super nice!
>>9090871
I don't really know any of the seagull crew well enough to room with them, especially since I'm a photog with a lot of expensive gear with me.
Also, I'm getting too damn old for the floor crashing thing anyway.
>>9090989
Didn't go to AX, but I saw on Facebook that someone called Zeima was taking Ahegao expressions commissions over there.
Did anyone get any?
>>9090991
>>9090876
I kind of feel similar these days. I'm not alone that often but I'm starting to feel like I'm forcing my way into groups that don't really want me, and so many of my con friends have moved on into different kinds of con life that I end up really left out. (Most of them are LTR/married now and just spend all their time in cosplay couple groups etc., and if I hang out I'm third wheeling really hard.)
>>9090998
>>9090694
possible otakon here
>>9090848
i wish i made out with more ppl :(
>>9090988
bby pls
>>9091004
Since I friended most of the cool people I met from the meetup I dont feel bad.
One of them even lives in the city as me turns out.
>>9090885
VERY YES
For what purpose?
>>9091202
Crumbs. Crumbs in places you never want crumbs.
>>9091225
Those guys look like they're about to crumb all over her!
>>9091202
She's hot when did this happen?
>>9091225
Good thing cool ranch is my favorite flavor
>>9090912
ugh can't believe I missed such a good Hughes
I missed a lot of good cosplay if it wasn't for the autograph linecon or linecon events
Still have the phantom-feel from the 18+ wristband after having it on for 4 days
>>9090872
They have a nice tummy wow
Every year I get post con depression because I know I won't be able to go to my friends parties/ adventures because I have three jobs and no time. I'd like to have more time for game nights and day trips while my friends are still in the same city for college.
pic kinda related.
>>9091543
This is great
>take a bunch of photos
>jesus they look horrible
>don't want to turn them over anymore
I don't know what I was doing but clearly I did not have my head in the game this AX compared to Fanime
>>9091576
Dump your favorites, at least. Id appreciate any of them no matter what the quality, anon. :)
>>9091576
>anon thinks we care about "quality"
just post em!
>>9091576
dump it all broski
The classic
here have a pic from anisong matsuri
>>9090895
>that beading
i came
That pink dolphin dude actually the smoothest senpai at AX. 10/10 would hang out with again.
Did anyone ever spot him at AX?
>>9091816
I hanged with him and his friend on saturday for a while. They were cool.
>tfw probably won't be able to go to cons for the next three years
Just fuck my shit up.
I'm never getting laid
>>9091875
Are you a wizard?
>>9091879
Internships. I'll be doing one every summer, if everything goes well. Combine that with intense classes every semester, and I'll have zero downtime for any con.
>>9091897
what, you can't take like 1 or 2 days off during july 4th weekend? there's a reason that AX is always on those dates

>>9092703
>where are the pic dumps? Are they in another thread?
they've been spread across like 4 threads, that's the problem lol
also I think alot of /cgl/ was busy partyin n shit and not takin pics
>>9092480
the entire Hivebent music team was visiting the convention at odd intervals throughout the weekend. They all pretty much hung out underneath the stairway next to West Hall.
Hilarious that so many people used to wish/joke that he would end up being a Guest of Honor and he just randomly shows up and chills with 0 fanfare.
Anime Expo is such a corporate con this days. There's such little fan spirit. They don't even allow cosplay gatherings in the convention anymore. It's really just a con for taking pictures of cosplayers and hanging out with your friends.
>>9092725
the fan "spirit" was on top of the Westin each night
>>9090912
this guy was the best. he had a whole spiel ready to talk about how amazing his daughter is.
I thought AX was much better last year DESU, and this was my 2nd one. I doubt I bother because flying into the con from the opposite coast costs a ton of money, plus with it being so hard to find a short walk room w/o buying a $350 or more VIP badge makes me think I should not bother.
Cosplay at the con is still amazing at least.
>>9092761
If you want to go to a west coast con, Fanime is much better. AX today is just a glorified trade show.
>>9092765
Depends on what you're looking for
I had a lot of photo shoots because there was barely anything to do conwise at fanime. At AX I got autographs, saw good concerts, and then some. Even bought stuff because the industry booths actually had stuff you couldn't get elsewhere.
>>9092765
>Fanime is much better.
If this year's fanime was any indication of how it's usually like, then nice meme.
>>9092777
Oh I did get a lot of sleep. Not having anything to get you out of bed on time is one of fanime's good points! AX involved a lot of early mornings whether it be parking or autographs.
>>9092765
>Fanime is better
Fanime is the epitome of shitty fan-panels overtaking everything else of quality.
If you feel otherwise, go look at the programming schedule, count out the amount of Ask/QnA/Homestuck panels were on the docket, then you can open your mouth.
If you want a decent west coast con, the go to has always been ALA, but it's looking more and more like ALA is getting Fanime'd with each passing year.
>>9092782
ALA isn't a con. It's a pool party.
>>9092782
Why not have /cgl/ make and run a con?
>>9092785
Who would run it? The tripfags are all gone.
>>9092785
Because cons cost a shitload and when you're running a con you miss the fun stuff because you have to steer the ship
This is from experience
>>9090937
That's a cute asian lady inside that if I remember
The post con depression is hitting me. I got to go with a really cute girl as well I'm on my flight home soon.
>>9092809
pic of cute girl?
did the two of you cosplay?
>>9090848
You should have taken a picture of him in the act and sent it to his parents or something. Anybody who does that deserves to be forcibly outed.
>>9092533
I saw that guy after getting kato's autograph, looked cool
>>9092703
Y'all cool with a twitter feed? I did a mini dump. I have a bunch of the weeb cars too if anyone's interested.

>>9093043
>>9093045
what anime?
>>9092788
Somebody summon Masa D, Soni, Maguma, etc...
>>9093015
they're pretty average looking unless you want that girl next door thing
>>9092725
>They don't even allow cosplay gatherings in the convention anymore.
There's not enough room anymore
>>9093129
small gatherings(groups) are allowed to have pics in the entertainment hall with the cosplay backdrops
>>9093140
knowing the size of those backdrops it'd have to be a pretty damn small gathering
I still remember the homestuck gathering from a few years ago where they took up the ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE OUTSIDE CONCOURSE and you could have put two dozen people side by side on that concourse. I don't know how deep it was but probably at least equal to the width.
>>9093043
I saw this guy several times, he was cool
>>9093066
Meguka purella magic girls
>>9093121
They were a cute bunch. Really pissed I only got 4/5 of them in the picture
>>9092914
That's a crock of shit, man.
>>9093166
why? he's the one going about spreading hep c
>>9093121
Is that what it's called? Average girls in slutty cosplay is super fucking hot for some reason.
Like if they were wearing regular clothes, you wouldn't spare them a second glance but at a con and they're cosplaying Shimakaze or some shit..... jeez
>>9093181
the ones in the photo aren't even cosplaying past regular clothes with one item "cosplay"
>>9093182
Didn't really look, just read the average girl part and it was in the AX thread.
They seem pretty underage imo. 3rd girl has potential
>>9093185
>autism speaks
AX this year felt like the con that never came. since this is my only real vacation time I look forward to it the most.
This year has been so shitty for me so its kinda like shitty life, shitty con.and I got what I expected. Honestly the only thing that got me through last weekend was all my hoping and planning for AX 2017.
I didn't even feel good enough about myself or my costume to take any pictures or ask for any pictures. and now I have so many regrets.
and I was stuck with a friend who couldn't leave me alone for 5 seconds the whole time.
I just kept thinking "I wont let next year be like this, next year will be better". Going to ALA alone this January to try to get back what I lost. ALA planning is kinda helping me work through it. I feel like the last 12 months have been post-con depression since I knew I wouldn't be able to give AX the love and planning it needed this year.
>>9093205
>I was stuck with a friend who couldn't leave me alone for 5 seconds the whole time.
>millenials
>friends
You made your mistake there anon, it's better just to do things alone. Did you at least hit any panels or stuff at the con? Hit the dance?
>>9093211
how old are you
who was president when you formed these stupid ass opinions
fuck off
>>9093212
Bush, and how is it a bad opinion to ask if someone actually did anything at con?
I'm sure they must have done SOMETHING that was fun or entertaining at the con.
>>9093216
you missed the end of the post you quoted
missed it hard
>>9093211
I did. I saw the Blue Exorcist Mangaka, That was cool. Though management was so bad it took me half an hour to find the line. Blocking every exit and giving terrible directions. I wanted to do allot of what they had on Sunday but the schedule came out so late and the hotel I booked was only for Thursday and Friday.
>>9093230
It wasn't your fault, people were waiting the whole night for the 1PM autograph when they postponed it to 3PM and they even changed it to the industrial autographs and people didn't know what the line was until again they moved us to the autograph area. I don't know if I will do autographs next year and probably only if it's someone really famous that I like.
Dont VIP tickets come out again sometime around black Friday? I plan on being a good goy and shilling my hard earned shekels for some petty benefits.
>MFW there's only one photo circulating of me from the con and it's at a terrible angle with terrible lighting.
>>9093257
tfw theres no photos circulating but at least the company of the obscure as shit game I cosplayed asked for an album
>>9093257
You should have taken good photos and self posted. Js.
Is it just me or was the Blue Exorcist mangaka a MtF trans?
Second AX trip, this time around was much better, although I wish I could've met more people. Three of my friends ended up deciding to come last minute, which is good because otherwise I would've been by myself. I ended up spending most of my time following them around to their various meetups, even though I wasn't in cosplay (go ahead, laugh at my crossboard normalfaggotry)
Pros:
>Awesome swag in the exhibition hall
>Super cool concerts (I went to see Ken Ashcorp/Mystery Skull and the Bebop Jazz experience)
>The Cowboy Bebop VA panel was amazing OMFG, although I am still salty they didn't sign any autographs
Cons:
>there are too many people, too little space, and everyone else has too much to do for you to talk to new people, especially if you're weeby and awkward like me
>Lines to get into the panels sucked, I didn't end up going to a single one (other than the Bebop VA panel, which just let you wander in)
>I caught a horrible cold on the 4th and spent the next three days wanting to die.
>>9093230
>>9093248
Day 2 signing? At least you got in, right? Although it didn't seen too bad of a line and only required 5am wakeup. You are juggling sleep vs autographs and have to pick one (or after getting autograph ticket go to sleep for a few hours during the middle of the day)
>>9093270
she's just middle aged and unfortunate in genetics
Any good moose knucks?
>>9093278
No, 5am the line was already long enough and an hour later it was a snake line while people kept asking the end of the line was the in beginning of the line to sneak in as same thing happened on Day 1. If I got a ticket was because I stayed there way hours before like other people near me did.
>>9093775
My friends got in line at 5am which is what I based my time on
Seriously, it's time AX really put a cap on their con. Sell only 90K badges and that's it. Do a presale SDCC style.
>>9092602
Fuck off Richiefag, your parties are the cancer of conventions.
>>9093920
I'd say limit badges to each day, do more online ticketing, mail out badges and tickets, cap event lines, be clear about room rules
those will all fix things
>>9093920
Don't do a sdcc pre-sale until they start to sell out instantly. You didn't have to do this shit til maybe 2011 for the 2012 con. I think that's the first time they only did a handful of prereg and I woke up at 5am on day one to do it. The current sdcc badge process is a pain in the ass
At most ax is around the 2008 sdcc level so it still has a few years before demand will be immediate and given the poor teen demographic may never need it. Someone on here said Saturday they closed the registration but I never saw that corroborated
And honestly the only way you could make ax feel manageable again is rolling back to 40k attendees. 60k onward is too crowded for the LA convention center. Thing really needs an expansion/renovation, especially in regards to panel rooms
>>9090916
i missed the ace attorney meet up and legit almost started crying since i was a super shit con for me and that was the only thing i was looking forward to that might've helped make it better
>>9094013
Theres always the next one, anon!
>>9092703
I don't want to look like I'm self promoting my shit, can I post my photos?
>>9094250
Mfw I see my friends get posted
I'll let them know they were "kawaii af"
>>9094252
I deleted it because it was sideways, but yeah they are.
whatever happened with pink shirt and his gf in the end?
>>9094424
It depends on whether you want to sacrifice attendee experience. Even back when AX was at 40k they were getting good guests. This is only going back to 2010
>>9094249
Go ahead, there was a dump thread
>>9093248
Why are autographs always such a shit show? Even the best run cons I've been to fuck up autograph lines and management
>>9094579
Because of poor staff management/organization. Another story was this guy at Day 2 ticket line that arrived and just sat down in the beginning of the line and never moved until someone told to just go back and seemed he politely went to the whole down of big line. Someone probably used social media to tell people where the line started which was fucking ridiculous
This year I went with a new group since my main group bailed last minute because they were spent after going to EDC. It was literally babysit them the whole weekend, couldn't go to parties, meet ups, panels or anything I wanted to do because they couldn't hold their liquor and we're doing stupid shit. Didn't even get to go to the shitty rave and take my happy pills. Muh AX experience, definitely upset that I could have had a better experience going solo which was the initial plan. I didn't even get to cosplay what I worked on since I was going to be walking around with them in normal clothes and they said it was "weird" if I was cosplaying and they weren't. Seagulls pls hold me
>>9090487
>Anyone gonna dump those /cgl/ meetup photos?
Seconding this, looked through the thread and didn't see them.
>>9094608
I only got a few but I was super drunk off that Stroh.
>>9094608
I only have one but it's from the smaller sunday meetup
>>9094627
Funny how I bring muh stroh these last 2 years and always miss the group pics lol

>tfw ded pixel
>>9094579
kato's autograph fuckup was because of the guest needing to reschedule. every other time I went to autographs they immediately knew where to send me after seeing what name was on my ticket (goes for both AX autographs and industry autographs). that's also why they didn't know where the new autograph line for kato was. she hadn't really been reassigned a new lane.
>>9094013
Anyone have pics of it?
lol this niggah mad as fuck
>>9094651
That is some mad salt right there. Anyone have context?
>>9094651
the fuck happened lol??
>>9094653
>>9094655
So from what I'm reading he was trying to work with guests for the first time. He got bumped, took it personal.
like okay even if I was mad as fuck there's a time and a place for rants
>>9094659
why does anyone care this much about 'famous' people?
>go to AX
>Lurk the cgl threads
>Realize I had a good time till then
Well I still thought it was fun
>>9094663
he's fame hungry and saw it as a chance to lap it up
>>9094663
There are people who give a shit about con fame I guess
>>9094651
Pretty sure they were the only big name Korean cosplayers there so he essentially already called them out.
>>9094659
The script reject probably has to do with their contracts with the gaming company. He didn't explain what he had proposed in the actual script so for all we know it could have been something totally off base. Repeatedly calling others in the industry cunts and bish is probably not going to look good on a professional level then again I have no idea who this guy is and what he does/if he is a professional or not.
>>9094727
from what I can tell he's self-taught. he's trying to do things that aren't really done in cosplay videos like trying to make a story but he's running into problem #1: they're cosplayers, not actors. he's definitely got a thing or two to learn about in regards to guests and how to handle rejection, especially if he's going to do film work of any sort. no plan survives contact with the enemy. I doubt he was paying them anything so they don't have a contractual obligation to work with him on his video. kudos for initial enthusiasm, minuses for blowing up like he did, and on facebook of all places.
>>9094766
Oh I've actually seen this being a problem in the asian cosplay community. Like when events repeatedly request cosplayers to put on some sort of performance for their appearance despite the cosplayers rejecting time and time again because they are uncomfortable doing something that's out of their field. I'm sure these girls have had to reject many requests that require some sort acting or skit work before.
Yes the lack of scheduling sounds like the girls didn't actually have a contract with him. I wonder how he got in touch with them in the first place. Were they offering free shoots and he just signed up?
>>9094824
probably friend of a friend who knows someone and they said they'd try to fit him in.
So, uh, did anyone happen to pick up a large seahorse?

>#1: they're cosplayers, not actors
saw some vid earlier of those k-cosplayers and the entourage, I quickly summed them up as a couple "idol" girls with a team of costume/makeup people, so yeah I probly wouldnt think asking the dress-up girls to be involved in any vid - they are simply their to show what the k-group's effort and a pose here and there. From the sound of the way their translator talks I could tell that asking him to explain to the cosplayer to do all some shit for a vid -- he'd stare for a looong sec and say likely say no I imagine.
