Welcome back to reality, friends!
I hope you all had a safe and fun time this time around.
Now to prepare for next year!
Time to start working out for next year

>Better guests
>Better concerts
>Better shuttles
>Larger AA and game hall
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?
>>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
>>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.
>>9088352
Niice
>>9088352
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
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?
Got lucky and happened to be passing by when they were doing a photo shoot.
>>9088369
No lie this shit looked comfy as fuck.
>>9088341
It's cheaper to buy it when they first ate for sell. Black Friday deal was 58. First sale is 54
>>9088384
The light on Luluco's head was actually spinning. Pretty neat.
>>9088369
>implying that isn't comfy as fuck
>>9088393
>>9088390
>>9088380
Guess I'm just the type who doesn't like ear cleaning.
>>9088398
Do you know what it's made out of? It looks heavy after carrying it for a while.
>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.
>launching marshmallows into the crowd
>hey check out this shit we stole from our boss!
>hey let's flash everybody!
>JUSTICE
>>9088447
Slight figure break
I want that Freddie
>>9088411
I'm mad I missed this. Glad you had fun, anon
does anyone have pics of that cosplayer woman who was dressed as Rei from NGE but wearing the Mass Effect Armor?
she was so beautiful
Official AX numbers are 98k unique 303k turnstile
>Someone accidentally smashed the fuck out of my guitar as they ran past me in the hallway ruining the paint and chipping its edge
god fucking damn it I'm kinda bummed about that
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.
>>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.
>>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
>pics of hooking up
>>9088304
>Larger AA
At the expense of no AC and hardly anyone breaking even.
>>9088899
I think it went down. Last two years had +100,000 unique attendees.
>2016
>Using turnstile
>>9088952
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
>>9089008
i pulled that shit out fumbling for my ID at the airport
idk i joined the irc chat but it seems ded
>>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
>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
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.
>>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
>>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
>>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
Were there any neps?
>>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.
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.
>>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
>>9089088
sounds pretty alpha to me. but then again, im on 4chan, so im not the best judge of alphaness
>>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.
>>9089110
Aaaand that's a wrap.
Until I can figure out how to make some webms

https://gitgud.io/nixx/WebMConverter
>>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.
>>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.
>>9089026

>>9088527
Damn shame, anon. How badly is it rekt?
>>9088806
lmao i'm glad you called her out.
my friend was going to hang out with her but lost her contact info, dodged a bullet imo
>>9089138
What did I do to you? Seriously. I hardly talked to anybody. I'm absolutely bewildered by the way everybody has acted
>>9089142

mumen rider
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
rilakuma
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)
>>9089211
yeah, thats true. some will manage to find their way in but most of the time they just get ignored by everyone else why they sit in the back yelling for attention.
>went to a meetup from a gaming discord group I was in
>generally had fun meeting everyone for the first time
>most of us chatting and having a good time
>there was that one autistic fuck who kept trying to butt in because he felt like he was getting ignored
>kept trying to start dumb topics like "whos your anime and gaming waifu"?
cuties
>>9089225
Yeah that's what I'm worried about. Like I'm spending a ton of money going to this damn thing, and it's because I love anime/manga/videogames, so yeah I'm pretty much a loser. But holy shit, at least I can talk in something besides memes and trying to make everything in to a joke.
day 0 chill
>>9088639
explain how it was non-/cgl/ when /cgl/ is literally the board for convention discussion
you are autistic lol, not everyone is interested in cosplaying at cons
mr saturn
>>9089237
>that feel when /cgl/ isnt your main board but you cosplayed everyday
>>9089227
I hoverhanded them
>>9089225
I actively had to remember if I ever talked about Waifus in any of the meet ups to make sure the autistic fuck wasnt me
>>9089228
i've been to 5-6 cgl meetups over the last 3 years. the meme-iest meetup was at otakon a year ago, and it was still fun when everyone got to a bar. there will be awkward people, but they will lose out on conversation and eventually get filtered out as the night goes on and the group starts going to bars/rooms/dances/parties.
The threads always look like the meets are full of autists -- and there usually are a few -- but you will have fun. Most of the people posting shit about the meets don't actually go.
Lots of people took pics with and of me. Where could I find them?
>>9089246
ayy, I was at otakon last year too but decided not to go to the meetup
kabaneri
>>9089250
Probably should have asked them that instead of us
>>9089250
You won't
>>9089246
>The threads always look like the meets are full of autists
this.
i was hesitant to actually go to any meetups because of that reason alone but when you actually meet the people in real life, most of them are actually pretty chill.
>>9089246
Alright, I'll give it a try next year. I should be in better shape and actually cosplaying then.
>>9089228
im glad i met freeman and everyone theyre awesome and fun and made me feel like they didnt care about my mental disorders
the only downside was getting back to my hotel and sobbing myself to sleep knowing itll probably never happen again and i miss having fun like that with people that i feel get me and like me for who i am
>>9089241
nothing wrong with that either man, I just don't understand the "us vs them/crossboarders" mentality on this board
also amused at how big some people talk online but 100% i guarantee nobody said shit to adam irl
>>9089281
I'm in the same boat except I'm a fully functional adult with an adult job and extremely closet weeb. It was pretty amazing to go there and fit in 100% even though most of them probably haven't even seen 10 series.
>>9089023
Actually, you just can't book a hotel room a year in advance.
>>9089289
>Actually, you just can't book a hotel room a year in advance.
Actually you can.

jesus fuck
>>9089047
There was no fucking pink shirt guy at the pizza box meetup, I can name literally everyone that was there
>>9089294
Name them then
>>9089293
It's split between 4 people, not that bad.
>>9089294
T-then who was the person i gave head to?
>>9089308
There were probably 20 different guys, how should I know?
>>9089291
>tfw you were walking around the south hall in cosplay and saw a qt cosplayer with her friend
>tfw her friend got asked for a photo so she moved off to the side as to not get in the way of the picture
>tfw you went up to her and asked if I could take a picture with her
>her face lit up immediately and said yes
>biggest and QTiest smile I've ever seen
>thank her and go on my way knowing we both made each other's day right there
At least that's the fairy tail story I tell myself so I can keep the depression at bay when in reality it was probably more awkward and boring.
>>9089298
Kevin, Nathan, bobble, Charles, Alex and his beta gf, clover, Sendai, light up hair, quiet guy who's name I didn't get, and cirno
>>9089314
>Out in the streets
>Two qt girls with some pretty good cosplay from a vidya game
>Nothing super slutty or outstanding but I loved it
>Asked if I could take a picture with them
>They said yes, all smiles
>Walking away with friend who took picture
>Hear them say "YES finally!" and getting all squeely with each other
It was the best. It was also the only picture I got with myself in it.

is it true you hooked up with clover and alex's gf after?
>>9089335
Alex, his gf, and Charles went back to their hotel room, clover went with them
The con itself wasn't that great but we had so much fun hanging out with everyone! I think I might have accidently erased the note with everyone's battlenet sooo feel free to email them to us.
Thanks for making the con better! Had so much fun bullying~ Hope to see some of you at Anime California!
>>9089338
lewd
>>9089340
im going to have an AA table there!
same deal for that con, free button of your choice for seagulls
unless you guys want something more personal, like a seagull button
>>9089344
a dickbutt
>>9089314
I can't speak for everyone, but I get excited when stuff like that happens. especially when I'm wearing a cosplay from a less popular or older series. actually, something like this happened to me this year and it made me really happy.
>>9089357
Truly we live in a glorious time, anon.
>>9089363
>>9089357
>Ask cute girls who are cosplaying if I can take a picture with them
>Don't cover hand them and actually put my arm around them
>Was a little scared of them getting creeped out but I didn't want to look like a beta
>Some of the girls actually thanked me after I was the one asking to take a picture with them
I am a bit confused to be honest but it made me happy.
>>9089320
Thankyou for remembering me ;_;
>>9089320
>Remembered my name
Holy shit.
>>9089086
The BO in the last Maid Cafe Show. No, it was not the weeby patrons that were the issue.
>>9089320
Do you remember the name of the cool guy with low self esteem who was in the military?
>>9089378
I think anyone with a brain should be able to figure out that it was just shitposting and trolling.
Like all of those fake meet up false flags.
>>9089381
Charles
>>9089381
>people talking about me here
What an odd feeling this is
>>9089384
Idk what you're talking about all the orgies posted truly happened.
>>9089387
Are you the guy I added on Steam who brought Rumchata? I forgot since I was really tired at the time.
>>9089086
Artist Alley had a funky smell due to lack of AC
I'm happy I was able to provide booze for the the first part of the Sunday night meetup, just wish I had more then to bring.
>>9089398
yeah, there was some seriously nasty feet smell with an occasional burst of fart in there. it was really bad early on friday and on saturday. seemed to not be as bad once more ac units kicked in.
>>9089398
Shoulder checking idiots who tried pushing their way through a flow of traffic in there made me happy
>>9089411
I thought bobble brought the rumchata, military guy didn't bring alcohol
>>9089413
This was at the Westin, not when we had pizza.
>>9089413
No I didn't bring Rumchata, that was the other guys.
I brought Stroh and rye whiskey in the A&Ws and peppermint schnapps, pineapple soju, and korean juicebox soju
>>9089414
Oh shit my bad
>>9089395
Yes that would be me
I won't be online until next Thursday when I go home though
>>9089411
Oklahoma, good old Chair Force
Little cautious about all that OpSec shit though
>>9089433
I'm in the Never Again Volunteer Yourself branch.
Stationed San Diego.
You traveled p far to get to that con. That's p cool, do you go often?
How many years in?
>>9089437
This is my second time at AX, last time was 2014. Was in BMT last year so I couldn't go
I want to go again next year if possible but of course it depends if I get shipped off somewhere or not
I joined last year so still pretty fresh. Hit my year mark last month
Wish I had went to meet up earlier so I could have talked to you guys. Everyone I did talk to was cool though and that was nice
>>9088369
I didn't see this till the last day and I couldn't stop thinking about it the whole car ride back. My friend has a VR headset so I know what I'm showing him
>>9088407
Are you me. I missed so many cool cosplays. How do I always manage to be in the wrong places at the wrong times. One of my roommates on the other hand got a shit ton of cool pics.
>>9089268
It seems like the meetups were pretty chill after all. Got a bad impression from the threads; that and it being far from my hotel are why I didn't go. Hopefully Freeman got some of your contact info so meetups can occur in the future. Shout outs to the ppl who I ran into on the westin pool deck, especially the German bros. Hopefully you make it back stateside one day.
>>9088340
would fug
>>9088350
with those eyes she shoulda cosplayed yamoto from naruto instead
>>9088885
more clicks. sex sells.
>>9088937
You were the gundam? cool!
>>9089055
I'm so upset I missed Elizabeth I love gintama
>>9089036
did you fug her?
my butthole got rekt by those hotdogs out in front of con center
>>9089320
>cosplay as cirno
>there was another one
Destined to be forgotten
>>9089586
I warned you bout hotdogs bro
I told you dog
>>9089008
hey
lolicon here
you were a cool guy, i enjoyed spending time with you!
I'm already going to pax like usual, but decided to look around for other cons to go to to fill the time
>SacAnime is on the same weekend
>Anime California is on the same weekend
Are con planners actually idiots?
Why are they all trying to compete with each other? With P A X?
>>9089590
>there was another one
>one
There were dozens m8
>>9089601
PAX is a bit of a different crowd, so thats not as big of a deal. Sac Anime and AC the same weekend seems like a mistake tho, PMX was a week after AC last year and was subsequently a ghost town.
>>9089611
Anime and Video game enthusiasts are probably the largest overlap of any two massive hobby interests
>>9089599
I enjoyed spending time with you guys as well, like alot alot. ;_; Missing yall, and sad it'll be so long till next AX
>>9089611
>PMX was a week after AC last year and was subsequently a ghost town.
And it was during a bunch of other smaller cons too, if i remember correctly?
I wass there last year and everyone kept complaining about the short notice date change.
This years should be better organized, tho
>>9089320
>i'm just the beta gf
just call me cuckchan
>>9089073
Is that nep a dude?
>>9089618
yeah! maybe ALA tho.
>>9089622
Why do they call you that? I wasn't at the meet.
>>9089590
My handle is Cirno/Cirnobyl/EyeMtheStron9est.
There was a Cirno/Space Dandy HUGE DRAMA MAN guy that everyone saw.
I saw a cirno in a picture to a meetup I wasn't in.
Sorry.
>>9089622
At least they remembered names, I drank too much of my own stuff that night. Revealed muh powerlevel too hard.
You were lots of fun, much enjoyment other people didn't storm off when I triggered people
Did anyone see the Miss Frizzle cosplayer hanging out near the game room? I swear she was standing around in the same spot for an entire day, what was up with that
>>9089631
You were at Sunday meetup tho right? I thought you were fine.
>>9089601
See you at PAX!
>>9089634
Standing in 1 spot all day is actually a valid strat if you're trying to get the most unique views on your cosplay and pics of you, especially if you're not clogging a main hall so that people can get you easier.
>>9089631
That's probably me. Usually cosplay as con related memeshits.
>>9089569
Yep that was me! A few people were asking for social media info, but I don't have any as I'm not used to having attention in cosplay.
>>9089644
>because i'm a cuck, not much else to say about it,
but why
Kaga collection
Anyone else go to the kancolle meet?
>>9089650
>drama baka
not me mate
>food spilling
there was food?!
Yup. No one remembers me. Several years in a row. I should really cosplay Akarin.
>>9089660
You might have just not been at that particular meetup
>>9089633
Oh you were the kenji/dickbutt? Thanks for the drink man, pretty interesting. You were pretty cool.
>>9089680
Yup, always glad to share it with people, give them a unique drinking experience, no reason to cheap out with fellow channers.
>>9089672
Sounds like a bunch of gulls are heading there as well this year, I suppose I'll finally give it a spin and see how ALA is, now that I'll know some folks there at least.
>>9089620
yeah I think there was. Dragon con and some others. PMX used to be a good jfash and party con, hopefully they get their stuff together this year
>>9089634
The curvy one? she was there forever.
>>9089657
we didnt get the oldfags together to show off our tripfag ids fufufu
>>9089686
Its kind of the cgl con. In the past we had trips and anons traveling across the country to attend, should be the same this year.
Can't wait to see most of you fuckers again at ALA
>>9089770
The more I think about it, the more I want to go
I'll try to convince some buddies to go too, but if I can't you'll probably see me at a lot of the meetups
>>9089611
sac is pretty detached from AC and no one really goes to sac anyway unless they live near sac/it's the closest thing to them
>>9089086
Two from my roommates
>>9088327
Yay for Galko
>>9088531
Attention whoring would be doing that over twitter so she can watch the replies and faves roll in. Doing it in a place live where you know you're never going to see these people again is touching.
>>9088689
What is this from?
>>9088961
>and the macross cosplayers
Any photos? they're so rare nowadays.
>>9089071
Just accept she's not a keeper and move on.
Not gonna lie, this AX was pretty damn fun
Shoutouts to Matthew for hooking it up with acid
Major shoutouts to Freeman and all the other gulls for pitching in and getting all that alcohol.
I got to kick it for a bit with Scientist and talked, I missed that nigga.
I also saw Beanie but that nigga was on a good one lmao, to be fair though we were both pretty geeked out.
Almost got my friend to cheat on his gf with some Remilia trap but he bitched out, I ended up getting blown by him the next day.
Pretty great AX
>tfw the cosplay you made that you didn't expect to get attention ends up getting a surprising amount of it
>>9089631
What's up with the dandy guy?
>>9089631
Didn't know you lurked /cgl/ mate
Too many Cirnos
>mfw I finally met Gigguk/Holden and Lanipator/Takahata101 from TFS
This was my first time at AX. I thought as a con itself it was kinda bad. Just not my cup of tea. I did enjoy myself a lot though. Seeing Dempagumi.inc and Zun was my highlight.
I still prefer my cozy east coast cons.
>>9089075
The person who checked my bag didn't even do it
Tfw sitting at work trying not to laugh at the thought of all the normies not knowing about this fun
>>9090082
That's better than me, the worker in the cube in front of mine is a redditor that takes screenshots of the 4chan subreddit and then sends those to his friends, because he's so afraid of 4channers. The amount of normie is at critical levels.
>>9090084
I'm pretty sure my immediate coworkers would get a kick out of it but the greater company is pretty normie
>>9090084
>tfw job requires you to go to cons
shiet.
I'm going to pack like seven air fresheners and set them down around me in a circle for every line next year.
It's really embarrassing to be around fuckers who smell as awful as they did this con. It's not even the general sweatiness that gets to me. It's those people with that weird..."spicy" stench that your brain can almost taste buildup of dirt on their skin, rather than just being slightly underwashed and sweating due to the heat.
>>9090037
Who forced Denpagumi.Inc to sing J-Rock for the first two songs? Rhetorical question but, still, ow, my ears.
>>9090154
It was probably gumi who was bringing them for phantom of the kill
>>9089995
Who's this?
>>9089057
Stasia? I totally wanna talk more 999 with you.
Hmu [email protected]
>>9089175
did you get a shot of kuro's coord? i didn't get a chance to ask.
>cosplaying
>really qt cosplayer comes up to me and asks for a picture
>take picture and go on our way
>later see she put the picture on instagram
>go on her page to follow her
>see on her bio that she's only 15
Too scary
>>9090304
Realize sex doesn't mean everything, and without sex you don't have to worry about age.
>>9090306
Sex was never the plan, idea, or intention. I'm just surprised because she didn't look 15 at all.
>>9090308
Yeah, I've seen 12 year olds at cons that look like they're in their mid 20s. Attitude and outfit can really change how a person seems. Same thing goes for older people seeming way way younger and men/women totally appearing to be opposite gender.
idk to me a con isn't about who or what someone is outside of the con, the con is who people really are and they can show and act like it in confidence
>>9089952
>tfw your most recent cosplay got recognized by about 5 people
>tfw only a few people at the shows gathering even recognized the cosplay
>>9088360
Did anyone see the other Stig walking around?
>>9090232
Other anon wasn't me, but I shot you an email!
>>9090349
Real talk i'm just shy of telling people "NICE X COSPLAY"
Wanted to say that to a Saga cosplaying duo
Also
>Want to buy passes for 2017
>No child passes
>TEEN PASSES the same price as adult passes
The fuck is this
>tfw you want to photodump but are too post-con-depressed to edit photos
I am not holding well. This weekend was too fun.
>>9090457
freeman don't be depressed you were the coolest guy at the meets and got to even exclude the people you didn't like
>>9089303
Who is this?
Cosplay Music Videos anyone?
https://youtu.be/puxry4wGspI
>>9089586
Why would you even?!
Any idea how long those hot dogs were sitting on that "cook top"?
> watched several people cut onions barehanded
> with blade hitting their hand each time.
> raw and cooked onion touching uncooked bacon
No thanks, I don't want to die today.
Though it was hilarious watching them scatter while shouting the cops were coming.
>>9090830
I actually ate one before catching one of the shuttles as the linecon was kinda big, it was delicious even tho like you said they didn't present all hygiene requisitions
>>9088390
Wait, did they actually clean your ears?
>>9090982
Yes, I would have done it but tickets went really fast each day
>>9091014
Damn, here's hoping they come back next year
>>9088689
Cammy...Satsuki? Why???
>>9088882
Talked to her a little bit at the gathering. She was funny and way taller than I expected. At least the personality made up for her looks.
>>9089190
Slightly more boats, but almost no 2hu. Noticeably fewer boats from year.
>>9089245
Saw her in the halls. Is it supposed to be an OC? it looked nicely put together and flattering.
>>9088842
oh shit. just noticed the thong on the left
>>9088352
It was way too fucking Cloud-y at AX. At least, it was for me.
>>9091872
the umaru cosplays were also everywhere, but the best one was this girl holding so many snacks and soda just like in the anime that was fun
>>9088481
She's hot
