How do you feel about the way prints (of sweet brands) have changed? Not talking about quality, just the style/design. Pic related is one of my favourite Baby prints.

anyone has any news on the GLB? wasn't there supposed to be a 64 coming out? or should I give up hope on them releasing any last issue?

I liked Baby's simpler "border" prints like Mary in the Sky with Candies (even the name is gold); it's not quite a border print and not quite an allover print, it's detailed without being too busy, and the dress itself is simple to make the print stand out but the bodice still has very nice details on it.
Red is my least favorite colorway but pic related is too nice to not share.

Modern prints are (mostly) nice at but many of them are too busy on the eyes in my opinion.

I wasn't going to cosplay this year, but............................................................


Fuck. I couldn't help myself. Tomorrow I cosplay.

At first I was like "oh this can't be too bad. All lucao cosplays are pretty shit and easy but it can't be that bad". And then I opened the picture and saw toilet paper horns

>>9476811
Lucoa is definitely a cosplay you need to go the extra mile to make your boobs look bigger, and boy did she fail to do that.

>>9476830

I mean like hey, it gets the job done, at the very least clean it up a bit

Geo has there own international website, and Uniqso is a lot cheaper than Pinky Paradise. Just make sure you stay with the well known, good brands. Unkown Korean brands might cause eye damage.

>>9471665
What are the well known brands? I'm looking through Uniqso right now and I'm considering buying from them.

>>9471633
I've had good experiences with HoneyColor too, and they tend to have big sales and free shipping promotions pretty often

>>9471682
Geo, Vassen, EOS, Dolly Eye, Super Pinky (have used and liked all of these) and I've heard good things about Beaucon too

not cosplaying as im too nervous to potently draw attention to myself but still looking forward to it, ive only ever been to wellygedion before

>>9467547
>What are your expectations
I expect to turn up and be bored, such is the nature of geddon these days. At least the guest cosplay panels might be interesting.

its nice you keep making threads anon, but there really isn't much to talk about until after wellygeddon.

>>9467953

We started building a guild hall.

But the masons were goblins (and the neighbors red guards).

So it fell crashing down.

One section of the roof was still intact, so we made a fireplace shelter out of it.

The shelter collapsed during winter, and it started hailing during spring.

So we made a new shelter of the other roof section, repaired it with planks of broken dreams.

Now it just stands, waiting to be rumbled or loved.

I built a torsion ballista when I entered college. Six ft wide, eight feet long. Throws javelins about 70 ft. It has been sitting disassembled in my garage for a while now.

I discovered Sailor Moon at the age of 4, it became my favorite show of all time and hugely influenced every aspect of my childhood. From there, I tried to get my hands on every anime available in the early 2000's but the availability of magical girls was limited so I stuck with Cardcaptors and Tokyo Mew Mew (other shoujo I came across was just manga).

Let's be real, I fantasized about being able to connect with large fandoms. At the time there were only random fan listings, forums and other fan sites that were hit/miss depending on the site creator. Being a child, I knew nothing about conventions and don't think they were very accessible back then. My connection to other weebs was entirely non-existent and I grew up feeling incredibly lonely in my hobbies.

Fast forward today, ~mahou shoujo~ culture is basically a subtype of general kawaii culture. The reboots. The galore of merchandise. It's major business. It's a fashion style. It's an identity tied into third wave feminism etc. Let's not even get into fetishists but they ruined so many things for me.

With this revival, comes the unfortunate side effect of attention-seeking wannabe-weebs who collect merchandise, brand name clothing/makeup etc to fake attachment to magical girl fandoms in hopes that they appear to have v special kawaii interests uwu.

>inb4 there's fakes in any fandom!!!!

I know but what's particular here is that these are CHILDREN'S shows. They claim to stumble across series aimed at kids, fall head over heels for the plots/characters/themes and suddenly their life revolves around these fandoms.

As a long term fan, this makes me want to disassociate from the hobbies I hold dear because I realize there's nothing to defend about the original source material. Kodansha/Bandai will do everything in their power to sell merch. The western fandoms will continue to use these series as symbols of female empowerment and that means normies will eat it up with no end in sight.

As an adult, I recognize that Sailor Moon has a shit fucking plot. These series are garabge. How can people tolerate Precure, they don't even have re-occurring characters. If not for nostalgia's sake, why would you ever put yourself through that torture? I couldn't even finish bits of SMC, it was so terrible, and that's coming from someone who has a fandom tattoo and owns the original manga series in every format released.

I'm abandoning all hope anons. Should a sane person in their early 20's stick to legitimately great series? Cowboy Bebop is my favorite anime and Berserk is definitely the best in terms of manga. Maybe i'm starting to feel like the fake fan after all.

>My other unpopular opinion is that I'd take a pretty but "boring" coord over most OTT ones any day.
Is this really unpopular?

>>9488437
Yeah, /cgl/ has been full retard for a while. Most people here don't even know what constitutes as ita anymore. The threads are all nitpicks and vendettas. I'm getting the feeling that it's pretty much all newfags who have been in just long enough to know the rules and think they have to be followed stringently. Any deviation is "ita" because they are insecure about their own place in this fashion.

I completely agree, op. I've seen some really cringey arguments about coording that went exactly how you describe. For example, people were talking about how hard Merry Making in the Ghost Town in red is to coordinate (iirc they were saying it was flat out impossible) and some anon had the audacity to point out it really wasn't and you don't have to include every color on the print in the side pieces. People started getting really butthurt, demanded anon post pics if she's so amazing, and called them boring, even though they were giving perfectly fine examples of how it could be done. With something like MMitGT, the print is already so garish that forcing all the colors on the print into the side pieces would look revolting. It's not brain surgery, these ita fucks act like coording is harder than bringing peace to the Middle East.

Reported that artist from the last thread and someone from the AA said they'd look into it.

Bless you. Doing good work anon.
