Anime NYC 2018

FBI edition

With the con wrapping up, what were your favourite panels, what did you cosplay, and what cosplays did you like seeing? It was nice to still seem some Touhou done, and there was a lot of BNHA as usual. Did anything not meet your expectations?

Most of my time was spent talking to friends or friends of friends outside of the dealers room/artists alley, didn't even buy anything.
I don't know why this con feels so much more... social than other cons, nice atmosphere desu.
After parties were super fun too.

I went as Rob Lucci Leopard Form fromOne Piece and had an absolute fantastic time. Hosting the One Piece Meet up for 2 days, and on Sunday I got connected to so many companies as usual was so good. I want to thank everyone who came on by and had a great time at the event and I’m so happy I got a lot of my friends shouted out by the media as well. Pic related is what I went as

[Anonymous No.10039099]

>>10039098
And here’s one where Funimation and VizMedia shouted us out and a funny one I had with a Spider-Man cosplayer. 3 days of no sleep, 6 and a half hours of body paint done with retouch ups for the bloody battle damaged version on the 2nd day, and I couldn’t reach out for my phone due to my claws, but it was worth every single second.

Honestly, the only after party that were worth going to is SonicBoomB0x because he always throws well organized events + a lot of space and activities to do other than drink. I heard Aftercon party was pretty well done.

The petcon thing was great tho. Anytime you got sick of cute cosplays you got to look at cute dogs instead.

[Anonymous No.10039108]

>>10039053
It really was a very nice atmosphere mainly because everyone was so excited to go to an event after NYCC, and you could actually move around the con as well as it being mostly a casual good experience. The really only shit show was on Friday because the staff was completely unprepared for the crowd to have happened vs. last year. So nobody could get into the show floor until 1:40pm, and they didn’t give anyone a pin at all, even if you were a 1st attendee from last year, but after that things were pretty smooth overall

[Anonymous No.10039109]

>>10039105
This is true too. They throw some pretty chill events. Good looks on pointing that out. Also I gave this tip in the last thread but, if you guys want anything from the show floor, wait till the last hour or 30 minutes before it closes up. Because at that point they don’t want any of that shit to pack up and luggage around. So they start cutting the prices to 75% or just give you shit for free if you’re chill

[Anonymous No.10039112]

>>10039107
The petcon was great because there were cute animals running around just next door, but it sucked because I had to deal with allergies the entire con because of them.

I hope there's gonna be a lot of photos of cosplayers posing with animals, cause I haven't seen them yet.

T H I S for the bowsette

It's kind of a dead meme and most were overweight and did not rock it.

As for the Fate cosplay, it was really varied in quality. The Saber (Arturia) I think were the most consistently good, but that's because you need to put in effort for the armor instead of buying some aliexpress shit which was 99% of the other ones.

Most people I know skip Senpai project parties due to the BS the creator (Javier/Ory) does, trying to start drama with SBB, and his draws for attention, like when he claimed to have cancer and shitting on DJs that won't spin for his events anymore

Anime NYC was much better in its second year. I cosplayed as Remilia Scarlet on Friday, Yohane Fallen Angel and school uniform Yohane on Sunday (all costumes genderbends). I was actaully surprised how much more recognition I got for my Remilia costume this year. I debuted it last year and had only a few people recognize it. This time I had a ton of people asking for my picture which felt very nice. I did go to one after party, the legends one on Saturday night. A pretty good time for sure, although i really wish this convention had more social things going on at the Javits at night time as well. Would also be good to get some more panel rooms and panels going next time around as well. The most fun I had was during our Love live meetups and photoshoots. I also had a guilty pleasure enjoying that anison DJ booth and just cutting loose dancing (dont know how to do those glowstick dances so just did my own regular dancing)

I am with you on this. I honestly was going through some serious depression and still am. It felt like whenever I saw a cute girl there was a guy closely tagging along with her. Really would love to have a girl into cosplay and anime like me, still talked to new people made some new friends but everyone's taken. Really this is the first time I have not been in a committed relationship in over 12 years and I really miss having someone to share my experiences with, so while I had fun there was a big emptiness inside of me.

I thought the bowsette costumes were good, but... the people wearing them.... not so much.

I cosplayed Bowsette for Nycc, but at least I am skinny, so it was a little less cringe.

Anon, it's hard for everyone.

As much as I want an honest relationship, really just even an innocent friendship. I'm too damn socially awkward to make contact with people.

I understand it should be easier, because I'm a girl. But, keep your chin up. Social awkwardness gets us all, so it's not just you.

hang in there

[Anonymous No.10039308]

>>10039304
You're right, but an idle girl will still have options, an idle boy dies alone.

Last year I saw so many people on their own an stuff, this year nearly *everyone* was in groups. Cosplaying will help reach out to people, so I wanna do that next year, but at the same time I don't want to wait an entire year.

[Anonymous No.10039312]

>>10039308
Thats pretty incel of you dude. Don't go down that path you'll end up hating yourself and everyone around you making any relationship inherently toxic for both people.

I don't have much advice but you need to gain some self confidence before you even consider looking for a qtgf. I have pretty low self confidence but this con was a blast because of all the complements I received in my outfit. Pic related.

[Anonymous No.10039313]

>>10039308
Trust me, cosplaying doesn't help. But finding a cosplay group way before the con, will.

[Anonymous No.10039317]

>>10039312
My confidence is fine, I've actually boosted my confidence by jokingly boasting to my friend how amazing I am until part of me started to actually believe it.

It's just a matter of actually meeting people. I know for a fact if I can actually meet a few qts I'll get a partner in no time.

>>10039313
That's true. I wonder if there's NYC discords or something for this.
>tfw you see the Chiaki you took a pic with last year again

>>10039302
Well it is possible to find introverts on dating apps, but really I am not sure if i am ready to really do this. I was just talking to my ex-gf and she recommended I use one of these sites. At this point, I would even take a best friend that I can share conventions with no matter what the gender, just another human that gets me. It's weird I have plenty of "friends" but I don't feel like I have anyone in my life that really "gets me".

[Anonymous No.10039325]

Nah that's fairly normal, I got over it, but in the past for awhile I had huge thing where I thought people were just pretending to be nice to me.

>>10039317
God I feel that. I'm 19 and I go to cons with my mom because I don't have friends, so I think maybe that intimidates some guys. She may not be underage just lonely, but I wouldn't take the risk. Although just talking to her is okay, but if her mom gives you a weird stare, just dip.

[Anonymous No.10039329]

>>10039328
The pic I have with her from last year she looks genuinely happy which feels nice, but this year she was a little too far away to get to and then I never saw her again. I wonder how a "Hey can I get a pic with you again?" Would've went down. If she remembers it's a killer reconnect, if she doesn't I'm weird as shit.

[Anonymous No.10039330]

>>10039320
The only con I'll be going to (except ANYC/NYCC) will probably be Axpo. I don't really have many friends, so I can't organize many con-days. At least I can pass Axpo off as a vacation.

I don't blame you for not seeing me though, I only go for 2-3 hours. (I don't have anyone to hang out with.)

Wasn't even implying sex. I'm talking about how even people who go to cons with friends will make themselves not enjoy it because they don't have a girlfriend to do it with. Constantly hopping into relationships is exactly what that dude does if it's been 12 years since he hasn't been in one.

[Anonymous No.10039345]

>>10039340
I'm not saying you're wrong anon, I'm also not saying the other anon is right. I just understand his pain, although I think friendship is the most important part to asserting yourself back into society. (Which will eventually lead to healthy and more intimate relationships.)

I don't think someone should force themselves into a cycle of despair because they can't share their happiness with a qtgf, but sometimes that attitude is more than 'I don't have a gf hurrdurr.'

It could also be a consequence of anomie (Since using a lack of intimate relations is an excuse for not looking at the core of the issue.)

If that makes sense? I'm a bit tired, so I tried my best. Sorry if it doesn't.

It's not a sexual thing for me at all. I am extremely lonely. Sexual needs can be taken care of solo. I spent a lot of my life living together with someone, sharing everything with them. Now I have nothing. Now I feel like there is a big void inside of me that cannot be filled.

I only had one relationship after my long term one ended. I was basically married without being married, things didn't work out and held on too long. I honestly just want a best friend I can share cons with. I am extremely depressed right now and just venting.

Hey, anon it's okay.

I haven't made a real friend since middle-school, and have been going to cons with my mom since I don't have any friend. (I'm literally a sophomore in Uni, Ik It's sad)

But, you know I have faith that someday we can all find a best friend. Maybe the time just isn't here yet. Hang in there, and don't beat yourself up. You're not the only one going through a lot of pain.

I know it's hard to enjoy thing when you're doing it alone, especially when you see everyone else in groups. Although, I can admit that sometimes it's my fault for being too scared to get close to people again. Assert yourself anon, join some forums, and discords. Play some vidya and get in voice chat, we all need some interaction.

Thank you so much for helping me and my girlfriend out to get free stuff at the con. I was completely lost in where everything was but you seriously went out of your way to help us and bought us food too. On another note, how the hell did you learn to do luccis voice on point?

[Anonymous No.10039360]

>>10039354
Well I know you will find some friends out there too. I had some seriously crippling social anxiety up until a few years ago when I forced myself to just start talking to random people more. It's good that you at least have a good relationship with your family and they are supporting you. I do feel like I am whining a lot, but it's really like I had something inside of me get ripped out. You have a good idea with even just doing discord voice chats. I haven't done that in a while and it is nice to just talk and vent out to people. I feel like with a lot of my friends I am just bothering them all the time. At least here I can just post anonymous and not worry if I irritate someone.

I actually really like Castle point anime convention but it's not for everyone. It's a more chill atmosphere and I find it to be more social. They don't get big industry names, it's more of a fan run con for fans. Reminds me more of the old days.

This was my second time attending and while I had fun, something felt off the whole weekend compared to last year. My friends and I were discussing it before we separated but we couldn’t put our fingers on it...

Boroughcon - though it's skipping 2019
Heliosphere - if you like old school Science Fiction cons
Liberty Con and BlazeCon and Play NYC - for the last two years they've all been scheduled for the same weekend so pick one. Lovely that in this huge City they have to schedule all the cons at the same time.

Most area cons seem to be in New Jersey, not in the City.

Some of it could just be that "chasing the dragon" thing, but the afterparty being moved around wasn't really a great idea, and apparently it was badly coordinated. I ended up talking to one of the DJs on the subway afterwards, and he said he didn't know there were other DJs slated for that evening.

[Anonymous No.10039535]

Had a lot of fun. Was cosplaying for the first time in years and had a lot of fun, but I was a bit surprised that there was only a handful of other Madoka cosplayers. I was Homura and got to bump into a Madoka who got super excited about my Supergroupies Homuhomu purse.

I got you homies. So the only NYC cons left for this year are Wintercon, which i hear is very hit and miss. I went there in 2014 and had a great time, but it’s very small. There’s Walker Stalker that’s gotten really big over the years, has a lot of TV/Netflix show celebs as guests and the turn out is huge. After that, in 2019 there’s Big Apple Con which is a really small area, and no AC, East Coast Comic Con which is actually pretty good. And like someone else said, there’s Anime Next as well.

Dude if you ever need anyone to hang out with, I’ll gladly hang with you and introduce you to so many of my friends. I always go alone at the cons because I love meeting old and new people. AnimeNYC is the only con I’ve went with someone else this year, and that was with my bodypainter and my girlfriend, and had a blast. Don’t worry about going alone, you can make friends with so many people there just by saying hi. Most of the cons like animeNYC are really friendly and chill overall

Better variety of official meetups

The fact that they have an Overwatch and an Aggretsuko meetup and neither a One Piece, Fate, or Naruto meetup is insane given how popular those three series are and how Overwatch is >not anime

Maybe hire several official photogs to take pics of the meetup and other poses and post it on the AnimeNYC insta? I feel like it would be very doable.

Anything to promote more people making costumes would be a huge plus in my book, so I would love that honestly. I feel like I saw far less people either cosplay or handmake theirs this year compared to last year.

This alongside the arcade issue is the 1st two things I let them know about immediately. I told them many times that they need better programmes and to put the location of each place at many spots, not just at the 2nd Floor where the Starbucks was.

I have a good hunch the big problem was that the venue changed from either friday to saturday, from a Brooklyn venue to the one in Manhattan or both, because I remember one person saying something about the venue change from friday to saturday.

I guess people just didn't like the change because previously they were at capacity and tickets were sold out. had they stayed with the original venue more people may have came, even if it is a hike from javits to Brooklyn.

IMO the game room should be one of the last things to close. People often like chilling there when they're done for the day, and having it close at the same time as everything else puts pressure on people spending more time playing than enjoying the rest of the con.

PerezPlay is just cringey. There was a whole thing about her claiming she was sexually molested by some local photographers, while she was defending EMCP. There was the issue of the money from one of her event raffles being used to fund a vacation for her family. She tried to charge people a monthly fee to join some promotion list where they would feature someone's Instagram and it would be "randomly chosen." I remember one of her door prizes at an event was to win a date with a cosplay guest, one that was pregnant at the time too, but wasn't showing yet, if I recall, as I saw the cosplayer a few weeks later at another con and they were showing.

There would always be far more guys than women that showed up to these things. like 8 to 1 maybe, it was painful watching the organizers try to make it seem like there was an sort of balance. Most of the time i dipped out since it went from fun thing to try at con to an embarrassing to watch waste of time.

But no speed dating even was as bad as a panel I attended once something along the lines of 'dating for Otakus' Hosted by a couple who said they were both each others first relationship as teens and they didnt have any advice on how to actually start dating someone.

Amazing how many people jumped on the "incel" boat. Funny thing is I'm not the kind of guy girls are turning down, I just know bullshit when I see it. I'm exactly the kind of guy who will hit on someone's cosplay and have them in my room later that night a decent percentage of the time, it's why I know the "cosplay isn't consent" thing is bullshit first hand from playing the game. If they're interested, they'll be fine with it, if they're not they'll be offended.

I don't waste my time on anyone who's not immediately showing mutual interest, and you can gauge that interest before you even go in hard for them anyway.

You're missing the point of the "cosplay isn't consent" thing by a mile. It's about not making assumptions or touching someone inappropriately because of how they're dressed. Like if someone is wearing a very revealing cosplay or dressing up like a character who might be known for being slutty, not assuming those things about that person and speaking to them/touching them in a way they haven't agreed to.

Subtle social cues. You come to understand them with enough exposure, just like how you come to understand the proper rules of grammar for your native language intuitively through enough exposure. When you hear an incorrect sentence like:

"I not feeling the best of my ways at the current timing." You know it sounds wrong even if you can't properly explain in detail where the problems are. Someone who studies English professionally could probably pick at exactly what makes it wrong with explanation, but most of us don't have to do that to just inherently know it's incorrect.

Things like the tone of voice, where their eyes are focused, hang gestures, pupil size, etc. all give it away, though I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly what to look for. Hit on enough girls with confidence and you just naturally catch on to the patterns that people present before you even make an advance.

Of course. People are naive if they believe that you aren't treated differently for being more attractive. There are numerous psychological studies that literally prove that the more attractive you are as a person, the more likely you are to receive favorable treatment and even positive reaction to the same actions performed by unattractive people. Those who look good can get away with more than those who don't.

From my experience, even if I incorrectly go for a girl who isn't interested back, or who is taken, it's a simple "sorry, I appreciate it though" kind of response where I can easily just back off with zero repercussion instead of "EEEEK, WTF SICCKO GET OUT OF MY FACE! PERV!" And at the same time I've seen guys that I try to give advice, who aren't that good looking to be honest, completely get their emotions crushed when they try being smooth and get that kind of negative response.

- Attractive people are more likely to get jobs

http://biasandbelief.pbworks.com/w/page/6537193/Halo%20Effects%20of%20Attractiveness
-People who are attractive are immediately upon first impression bestowed with the assertion of being trustworthy, kind, nice, honest, smart, etc. and because of this are less likely to be confrontational with you.

https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=00Wq6VSzIGUC&oi=fnd&pg=PR5&dq=beauty+bias+court+proceedings&ots=dHcWQUfwwn&sig=suqzhWE9bZsZkVN7Zmh_Wc7Zmw4#v=onepage&q&f=false

Welcome to look at the full book to read up more on this phenomenon. The tl;dr is that if you're attractive, even if you do something most would be "against," they'll at the very least let you off with a soft warning more often than not; while if you were unattractive they're more likely to pursue legal action against you. The whole "cosplay is not consent" comes from people being pursued by those they find ugly. They're fine with their revealing cosplay attracting Chad. They're not fine with it attracting Todd. Even if they're taken in a relationship, they still at the very least appreciate on an emotionally gratifying level that Chad tried to go after them.

[Anonymous No.10040535]

>>10040529
You probably are.Work on your confidence, because attractiveness is about more than just looks. You can be a banger 9/10 but if you have poor posture, always look scared, have body language that shows you're not open for connection to others, it'll put a damper on your chances. If people take a liking to you easily and you have bad luck with women, it just means you need to work on your personality a bit.

I know I'm coming off as an arrogant snob in these posts, but that's more because I understand my stance and have confidence in being correct on it. For reference, this is the kind of thing most people look at and go "OH, WHAT A BAD BOY. WHY DO GIRLS GO FOR THE BAD BOYS?" when there's a difference between being "bad" and just being bold and confident. So DON'T try to "emulate" me and become a "badass" for your personality adjustment. Just learn to respect yourself more and understand who you are. Getting a firm grasp of yourself is the solid foundation you should always start with.

Good luck, Anon. I won't say "grab em by the pussy," but when you build up to the right level then you very much can do just that under the right context. (Context being you'll know when they want it before you even do it, and if you aren't at the level yet then don't even try going for something that bold).

Sounds good, that's exactly what you want to do and it seems like you're good at reading the air and adjusting your approach based on the other person's personality (this is the key here, there is no "one size fits all" master code to it, you need to learn how to adjust appropriately and quickly). I'd say with girls, you just need to be riskier. Not harassment riskier, just actually make your intentions clear if you want something more than friendship with them. You WILL get shot down a lot before you really learn what the right approaches are, but that's part of learning. Many people are too scared to try so never learn.

It's like, you don't get good at Street Fighter without getting absolutely bodied for hours on end, right? And then you practice, learn why your face got smashed into the ground, and learn what to avoid next time? Same thing here.

It is like AX wrt good musical guests but without the shitshow that is AX' heat, it has good photo spots, decent travel and it just needs a few improvements but honestly if Anime NYC can get a few more musical guests (more idol anime stuff) I will unironically drop AX and have ALA as my full time SoCal convention, and use those days off for expanded Japan trip.

I swim 5x a week, and lift 3x a week using proper form. Monday’s I do Overhead Press 3x12, then incline bench 3x12, then flat bench 3x12, followed by cable pulls with different variations. I do hanging leg raises every single day, along with side planks and oblique work every single day. It’s really become routine with me and I finish my work outs in an hour. Back is Tuesday, with squats, leg lunges then arms. I follow mostly Athlean X since he’s in my opinion the best when it comes to work outs that deal with health and proper form, rather than doing lifts for the sake of it. Contraction of the muscles is honestly key to get gains, rather than counting reps. It really just becomes routine, that and I cook my own foods and don’t eat junk like pizza, ice cream, etc. I love cooking my own food and I cook a lot of different dishes like Italian, Asian, French, and Spanish dishes.

It really isn’t. Part of the process is just contracting the muscles rather than doing reps. So a set of 8 with perfect contraction will always outperform a set of 15-25, as well as raise your muscles and vascularity much easier. Really all you need to do is the basic overhead press, bench with either dumbbells or barbells, squats and then barbel rows 2-3x a week and you’re all good. I personally just have fun working out which is why I do it 3x a week as well as swim and train people. You can even do this at home without going to the gym. If you ever need advice I’m always available on IG. Never ever pay for a personal trainer at most local gyms. Most of the time they want to fuck over your progress by giving you work outs designed to make you think you’re making progress, but that’s never the case.

It's so easy now to just buy a quality costume. I used to handmake, bought a Uwowo costume because of the pattern of the kimono top. I didn't have time to hand paint, sew, exc. With minor adjustments to sizing it was pretty darn good. I'm so busy now it's very tempting to just buy all my cosplay now. It's a different world now, used to only have hand made.

I personally strongly prefer handmade, even if it's slightly off, versus a good bought costume

Half the time, it's some Instagram hungry person trying to get "famous" for minimal effort. If you don't make your costume, you're just a glorified model. I also really believe there's no love for the character if you just buy it; I know of so many people that just want to cosplay the latest meme thing with 0 effort, like BNHA, or Zero Two, or Bowsette, etc.

I mean, if you're entry-level I get buying a Naruto cosplay because you fuckin love the character or the series, or if you're a half-normie and not really in the cosplaying scene. Even so, I'm seeing way too many people that have been cosplaying for months or years, advertise themselves as "cosplayers", even give out BUSINESS CARDS, and didn't even try to put in any effort. It's terrible commercialization, and only attracts half asseds and patreon thots. Where's the talent and nerd dedication gone?

[Anonymous No.10041289]

I'm going to disagree... Handmaking a character doesn't mean you LOOOVE the character. There's plenty of cosplayers that handmake whatever flavor of the month character. It's Cosplay, nor Cosmake.

I always thought making the costume was the most fun part of cosplaying. Admittedly I end up spending more than it would cost to buy a cosplay, but it usually ends up fitting nicer than a bought cosplay, and you can pick nicer materials for a better-looking cosplay.

I guess another aspect is that I like comparing techniques and marveling at other people's work. With bought shit, it's mostly "oh, you got it from that seller on aliexpress?"

I guess I just like the craftsmanship aspect of it. I like seeing the tiny imperfections in other people's costumes. It feels a lot more... organic? Kind of like how bake sales used to be homemade cookies and then they switched to just selling oreos from the bag, if it makes sense. It feels more homely.

Eh, I think it depends.
I make most of my costumes, and it's a big part of cosplay for me, but I'll buy simple stuff (school uniforms mostly) that it would cost more in materials to make and are simple enough that I really don't care. But these are the exception rather than the rule.
I do think that there are people who by costumes who really love the characters and aren't just trying to jump on the flavor of the month, but a lot of them commission handmade instead of buying from China, so it is handmade.

[Anonymous No.10041364]

>>10041283
>>10041304
While I understand your points about handmade and prefer it myself, echoing other points made, buying does not determine whether someone loves a character or not. That's like saying only the people who made that anime/comic/video game character truly love that character because they went through the process of making said character from scratch. Or, using your cookie example, only people who make cookies truly love cookies.

Some people, like myself, do know how to sew and prefer to sew our own stuff, but lack the time, motivation, and/or skill to sew full cosplays of characters we love. Thus, we buy or commission and modify stuff instead. We still wear a character we love and know about, so rather than talk about our cosplay itself, we just talk about the series and character with the hopes of someday making at least some of our costumes again when we're less busy, more motivated, etc.

tl;dr You can love a character you cosplay without handmaking your costume.

Apparently none of the security knew that and were yelling at people to leave the Javitz Center despite noise and lights still coming from the Masquerade room. They kept saying that "the last event ended at 10:30pm" but you could here the announcer throughout the whole con because of how empty everywhere else was.

The security is filled with miserable out of element fucks who don't understand a damn thing around them. I kind of despise that.

Nah, look at Javits schedule. They have events booked over a year in advance. it's more what weekends Javits has free, and the con picks from the given dates

We should honestly just make a discord for ANYC and just NYC cons. So us sweaty weebs can plan cosplays way ahead.

There's a few discords already existing for ANYC and other NYC cons, usually connected to Facebook groups. Problem with those tho is that you out yourself as Anonymous.

Issue with Facebook though is that like my account, for example, uses my real name. Not my cosplay name. I feel like there should just be a discord that people can choose to stay on their screenames

So an update for you peoples since I got a call back from the owner after he called to wish me a happy thanksgiving. So the arcade expansion is a go. It was really well received and he plans on expanding a room for it actually, just like expanding the entire show floor space in general. More Japanese guests will most certainly be worked on. We are planning on getting the BnHA, One Piece, Naturo, and other voice actors flown out as well as creators of anime series as well. And we plan on making free autographs better because the lady who was handing out those tickets fucked over a lot of people. Better security has to be dealt with the Javits center unfortunately, thats not distributed by AnimeNYC staff so on behalf of that part, I truly apologize for whatever you guys went through security wise. Official meet ups are confirmed to be much much better and have more variety. Even the owner and staff were shocked a lot of big names anime’s didn’t have stuff like DBZ and Naruto around. And we plan on getting better volunteers for the animeNYC insta for sure. Speed dating is a no go, but if people are interested in the maid cafe idea, that could work he said.

I would also suggest a central bag and badge check area when you first walk in because needing to go through a bag check before entering each area caused a bit of congestion and seemed redundant after doing it 4 times in a day.

Seconding this. Having a central bag/badge check would be loads better. As fast as bag and badge checks were, it was annoying to have to do it several times a day just going from one area to the next.

Funny enough, this was going to happen this year, until 2 of the main staff said that people wouldn’t mind the baggage check the same place as last year as long as it was faster. I’ve been pushing them to just do baggage check right at the front of the entrance since last year.
>>10041838
Noted. The real question is, where would it be located? Any suggestions are definitely more than welcomed

I would prefer a better curated show floor rather than a bigger one. Don't let exhibitors sell shit with stolen art.

[Anonymous No.10041894]

>>10041892
I don't know what the layout will be for ANYC next year, I go to NYCC every-year so I'm familiar with the Javits. Although that top seating area is nice (the one that leads to Artist Alley) It would be congested with people trying to get through. (Unless there's some way other way to get through) The reason I would think this is a good spot, (despite the clear drawback) is that it's kind of sectioned out from the con. The only issue is that since it has an escalator leading up, food would have to be well stocked to prevent congestion later in the con. (Since I don't think blocking the escalators to carry up food is a good idea, especially when it may run out)

Also you could technically put the maid cafe in the corner of artist alley. (Where the entrance is, near the bag checks) The corner is basically like a room. (If I remember correctly there weren't any art stalls around there, but a foodstall was.)

Neat, thanks

I figured the speed-dating would be a bit weird desu, so I'm not really surprised

The key thing I think is to promote more cosplayers since that's a big attraction of cons (at least for me). Having more photo-shoots and more ANYC photogs walking around would be a really key and beneficial thing. Hell, we have a couple of resident photogs that I think wouldn't mind doing it, and there are plenty of people with decent gear just shooting on the floor for free (or "exposure") that ANYC could work with (@unlimitedcrossroads comes to mind)

Just really happy about more meetups and more and better guests desu. This year was a stepup from last, but there are still some kinks to be worked out.

honestly agree though

honestly I think they could do a host club as a counterpart, but screening would be kind of difficult. I'd volunteer for the meme desu

Last thing I care about is meeting a cosfamous cosplayer. Don't really care about them having a booth, and that type of shit just breeds the mentality of elitism already in the scene. If you mean cosplayers doing panels and presentations for topics they know, that's a different thing, but the last thing I want to see is just cosplayers showing up as guests and sitting at a booth.

[Anonymous No.10042023]

>>10042010
I agree in that I don't care about cosfamous cosplayers. I just care about good cosplay. I want there to be more photogs paid by ANYC to take photos of all the cosplayers there. I see it as benefitting the ones that can't afford/don't think they need one more than the "big" cosplayers. And, that includes having more photoshoot meetups (again, with ANYC sponsored photographers)

I want to promote more people cosplaying and more people making cosplays. I legitimately think having more people do it would be great for the con. They could even do more off-season events, like partner with JoAnn's or something for sewing events. Could be cool.

Maid cafe is getting a no from me. It always seems like more people want to be a maid than want to be a customer. Plus I don't know if it's worth your trouble going through the Javits and their strict rules about selling food due to having their own food vendors and catering service.

also its really great that the arcade is getting expanded

If they don't want it done in the hall, we can find a venue and do it somewhere else. Just like the Anisong was done at the Hammerstein. Having all parts of the con in one place is nice, but we already don't have that, so putting some parts in other places around the city wouldn't be the worst of things.
