cosplaying, seeing my LA friends, hopefully seeing some panel guests that weren't able to get a room last year

>not looking forward to
the fact that i still dont have a hotel room. i have no idea where to look for roommates since the AX forums gone and I don't know how reliable looking for some on Facebook or (god forbid) tumblr. My friend who i've always gone with doesn't want to go this year which really sucks

Berserk and maybe another old school? If I can get it done in time.

>What are you looking forward to the most?
I love out of state cons so I'm really excited to see how much the AX scene has changed since the last time I was there a while back. Also food.

Crowds mostly.

Just having an overall good time with new and old friends, alike.

The crowds and limited breathing room. The heat won't bode well, and the food prices aren't too kind, either. Lastly, commuting to LA and back (I don't live too far away) is also a hassle, but I'm the only one who has a large enough car to transport multiple people.

I didn't go to AX last year because I was out of the country, and most of my friends stop going to cons and the ones that still do I'm as not as close with. I'm not looking forward to trying find a ride to the con everyday since I don't like driving in cosplay, and hanging out with people feeling like an outsider.

I'm not sure if I'm doing much of anything at AX this year. I'll go, since I don't live far away, but I didn't manage to get a room and a con's just not the same when you have to go home every night.

As much as anything, I'm just going so that I don't break my streak, this will be my 16th straight AX.

Moving to Japan in August so the cosplay budget is is tight, but I thought it might be fun to throw together some hentai cosplay for fun. They're pretty generic looking, so no one should know who I am anyway, plus school uniforms are comfortable!

Looking forward to some great guests, AX rarely dissapoints (hoping for some male seiyu). As a negative though, it gets more crowded every year and being able to get autographs or even into some panels gets harder so I'm not looking forward to all the people being continually crammed into the space.

It's been good for the con, good for people who are actually there to see anime and guests, but bad for cosplayers and people who go to cons to socialize. I feel like the con was a lot more "friendly" in the old days, and it was all one big group and everybody interacted with everybody else. Now it's all broken down into microcliques and it's really hard to meet and befriend people who are in a different circle from your own. I miss the old dealer's halls too, when the anime distributors had huge badass booths, now it's mostly just retailers selling the same merch you can get online for much cheaper.

>>8974253
Yeah, the old cgl group is still around, but I don't even think most of them post here anymore. (Or at least not with trips.) They're still the group I usually end up partying with during cons, but it's just not the same as it used to be and I've been trying to go to other groups' parties and stuff. I still like the old group, but I go to cons to meet new people (yeah, including girls), and that doesn't happen when every single night at every con for the last 5+ years has been spent in rooms full of the exact same people.

This will be my first "real" convention. Also unsurpringly, my first cosplay too. I'm going as Kaga from Kantai collection, mainly because I wanted to pick a character I felt like I could relate to because 1. She has medium length brown hair
2. In the original illustration and game she's pretty average looking, no big kawaii uguu eyes (I can't figure out make-up for the life of me, rip) 3. She's in the Navy (as am I)
And bonus 4. She uses survaillance aircraft and that's the aviation platform I work with.
So I'm pretty excited, and my outfit just came in today (I had to buy it, I know, pathetic but I have no time for any hobbies it seems in the Navy to make my own) and I think it looks pretty good so far. Her boat shoes and aircraft carrier piece should be in sometime next week and then all I have left to worry about is her bow and quiver.
How do you think the outfit looks so far? Anything I could fix? I know I think the breast plate is on the wrong side, I was in a hurry because I was excited to try it on for the first time.

Not at all anon! I used to sew a lot of my stuff in high school, but once I got into college (now graduated) I bought more of my costumes. Plus you can find such nice costumes for good deals these days, no shame if you're not entering contests or lying about it.

And the costume looks really nice! I would however say that you'll want a wig if you're doing pictures and some basic makeup, you'll be happier after the fact when you see the results.

I was leaning toward maybe a wig regardless of my hair being the same as hers or not, especially since real hair gets sweaty and I heard it gets hot there at AE, but I've never worn a wig before so I don't know if it would be super uncomfortable or itchy... I might do my hair later and decided on the final verdict If I want to buy one or not.
I'm super excited regardless though.
I hope I'll be able to see some of you guys there!
Still worried about the bow and arrows and quiver though.. I want to buy a lot of figures including atleast one Kaga one for memory but it's gonna be hard to carry everything.

Don't get upset anon, I feel like true anime fans don't care what you look like, and they shouldn't. I used to run my highschool anime club when I was senior and everyone was a freshman (we had about 50 people) and a lot of them were super weird and antisocial and a few were neckbeards but I loved every single one of them, even if they were super creepy and sometimes made awkward comments. In fact, I know anime and stuff is mainly demographic toward "outcast type" (can't think of another way to put it) so I feel like you should just accept everyone as they are because a lot of the anti social type was here first.

Probably cuz i look intimidating but he kept staring at me the entire time and even ran into him at after parties. Dude thought he was being cool or something but he was being a straight up creep.

Yes, but last year's was filled with itas. It's better trying to talk to one of the nicely dressed girls, most of the SoCal ones are sweet especially if you mention youre from out of town.
>Where is it this year?
No one knows until a few weeks before the con.

if you're outside during the day it'll be hot. indoors it's okay. night is pleasantly warm.

there's a bag check if you have to use it but it costs money per item so you'll want one big bag that you drag to your hotel at the end of the day

I'm a fan of food trucks and there will be a shitload. Expect usual foodtruck prices so $8-10 or so.

hotel block prices are much cheaper than normal hotel prices. problem is that the blocks fill up fast. if you want hilarity look at san diego hotels during july 21-24. shit you not, some of the non-block rooms are approaching four digit prices. both LA and SD are victims of the success of their respective conventions.

AX gatherings are too many people (mostly randoms/non-regulars) to fit into a room or really do anything private with.

I feel like AX is getting too big in general. I don't even want to go to the convention center during the day, because it's hot as fuck inside.

Like a normal gathering
1) if someone is overzealous for your number/meetup/etc
2) play it safe understand what you meet with
3) learn to report shit

Honestly it is so fucking annoying to try and read /cgl/ threads after a con because

"I was violated/stolen/drugged/etc; BUT I DIDN'T REPORT IT! CGL HALP ME"

Seriously shit is the worst, if shit happens to you at a con report it right there and then if you delay it is next to impossible to do anything about

Oh my god, this is going to be my first con since 2007. It used to be my dream con when I was a regular cosplayer but I was a teen in the east coast and like hell could I afford plane tickets.

I have no idea what to expect. In the time I was gone cosplay became huge and anime exploded. I feel like I'm going to be everyone's grandma 'Why, back in my day, we didn't have worbla! We had to make props with funfoam, tears and blood! Blood, I tell you! And you complain about Arda? Let me tell you about ~fashion wigs~...'

>What will you be cosplaying?

-Neo Queen Serenity
-Lina Inverse
-??? (Doing a Rey costume for a shoot, but I don't think it quite fits AX, so I may just go for something else)

>What are you looking forward to the most?

Meeting other people interested in costume stuff, sewing and cosplay. The best part about cons used to be meeting people with similar interests and planning groups!

>What are you not looking forward to?

Terrified that I'll have no idea what's going on. Homestuck, Adventure Time, My Little Pony, these all came after my time, and my friends in college who did AAs frequently came back with some incredible horror stories.

Also, in the off chance any of you reading this used to be on the old Cats on Mars forums, let's have an old fogey meet up.

Just to add to the weather thing, it can actually get a bit chilly at night during AX, at least down into the low 60s or high 50s. It's worth bringing at least a light jacket or sweater if you're going to be out and about in the evenings.

I personally think they're by far Gainax's best work. I don't know why they get so little attention these days, except maybe that they're old enough that most younger fans overlook them.

They're great cosplay fodder too, with flattering hairstyles and some costumes that are just the right amount of sexy without being totally over the top, and others that can really show off craftsmanship skills without being a nightmare to translate into fabric. It's also one of very few shows with good characters that aren't "white."

That's what I'm thinking. I'll probably add some darker grey and maybe even the light bamboo colored squares on the top of the shoes so you can see more detail when I take them off.
And please cosplay as Akagi! I want a cute Akagi to take pics with so badly.

As for the comfort-ness of the shoes, they're made from wood and I can tell they're gonna hurt as the strings are kinda longer than I was anticipating and they're gonna be clanky too. Hopefully they'll survive me walking around in them all the days I go (three days probably) but I'm bringing some extra shoes just in case.

Definitely bring some extra shoes. I was dying a few years ago bc the shoes I brought were horrendous. I ended up walking, sitting, walking, sitting, etc.

I'm probably not going to be able to do Akagi for AX bc I'm coming from across the country, and I don't think I'll have room for any of her props unfortunately. If I can figure out how to make it collapsible, maybe I'll do it. I've never made a prop like that before.

That's the same boat for me too. I've never done cosplay before, and I'm coming out from Flordia so hopefully when I check in my bags on the plane I can check in all these props in the boxes they shipped in... Dunno if that sounds safe but it might have to work regardless.

I feel like I'm the only one still keeping this thread alive haha
Tried on the Aircraft flightdeck piece and the shoes... The shoes I literally can't walk in because the strings are too long and my feet slide off them and almost sprain them, so I still have to figure that part out.
Honestly, I have so so sooooo much more respect for cosplayers now because keeping everything together and in place is impossible almost. But it's a fun challenge!

Also, the Original Kaga from the game skirts' a little longer than the anime version, and honestly I've been trying to lean toward the game version than the anime. Should however, I shorten her skirt a tad bit? I think it might add a little more leg exposure that most thigh high characters are supposed to have, but like I said the game version is the one I'm trying to go for and its a little longer than the anime version..

I hope to see you too! And don't be afraid to come up to me and chat, I'll be with my boyfriend who's gonna be dressed as Makoto Tachibana from free. (Bless his heart, he barely knows what anime is and he's never done cosplay either or been to a convention or anything slightly nerdy lol)
I want to take as many pictures with people as possible!

Perhaps you could add a grippy surface to the shoes where your feet land, so then your feet don't slide off when you walk? I can imagine it'd still be a pain to walk in, but at least you won't be in so much danger of spraining your ankle or something.

>What will you be cosplaying?
Unless something else captures my heart, more god damn boats. Ooyodo Kai, Chikuma Kai2, Iowa and Katori probs.
>What are you looking forward to the most?
It's just so nice to see LA friends. AX is always really relaxing for me since I know it so well and I've been going since 07
>What are you not looking forward to?
Heat as always. I still should find a hotel room lol. However, now that the Expo line is opening up I suppose that's an option as well

I did Kaga last year and I still have her bow, arrows, and quiver at home. I'll have to check their condition but I wouldn't mind giving/loaning them to you

Talk to people in line. You're going to be in lots of lines if you're seeing any panel or getting autographs or main events so you'll have plenty of time to get to know them and their interests. Springboard from there. Ask about other stuff they are hyped for at the con and see if you are going to the same things. Get contact info. Meet up later for those things. Rinse and repeat

If you're cute that gives you an edge in breaking the ice. Are you cosplaying? Also an ice breaker. If you happen to be a fan of the cosplay someone is wearing that also works

>>	Anonymous Mon May 2 22:33:43 2016 No.8989468 >>8989315 I was going to go alone, but I convinced a friend to come with me. Are you a cosplayer/lolita? Are you over 18? I'd be down to hang out with you provided you're not a weirdo.

Yes I am cosplaying. I guess I am cute ish, I get only guys talking to me when I am out and about though and often some are very aggressive about getting my number. I really don't want to be giving my number to complete randos as I end up doing almost every week. I am mostly worried about getting taken advantage of my politeness/ shyness. It is really hard for me to say no or end an interaction.

Anon, we could meet. I'm not a weirdo, I have friends but they just aren't at all into cons, etc.

Sounds like you're cute enough if they are chasing you. Facebook might be a better option and using messenger.

I've made pretty much all my con friends from talking to people in line so they at least share that same interest and seeing them over and over at cons

Been working on Silas from Fire Emblem Fates recently. If i'm short on time by AX then I might make the pieces to do Paladin class Silas to fill a spot on my line up.
Also doing Giorno Giovanna and a small group cosplay.

Bit pressured into staying at a shitty motel with some old high school friends,but I'll survive by just chilling with Cosfriends and out of state friends at night instead of that shit hole.

First time going to AX and my friend booked with Mayfair. I personally preferred one of the hotels along the main road since we're not familiar with the area but my friend liked the price of Mayfair more. How good/bad is this hotel/area (since it's a bit off the main road with all the other hotels)?

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 17:30:31 2016 No.8990669 >>8990456 Area should be fine. It's not in the residential areas and still fairly close to the main streets (a couple of blocks).

>What will you be cosplaying?
Pic related and Alexanya Atoz from Zoolander. Hitting my mid twenties this year and am starting to feel weird about dressing up like under-aged animu girls.
>What are you looking forward to the most?
Artist Alley, Yoshitaka Amano, catching up with con friends, panels, and getting some swag from the exhibit hall.
>What are you not looking forward to?
The insane crowds we've been getting these last few years, along with the increase in normies that are rude.
>>8989315
If they're doing the scavenger hunt again this year, I'd check it out. I went solo years ago and made some great friends during that event running around the city looking for pocky.
