Since this is my first AX, any recommendations for this year's AX from anyone's appreciated. Thanks dudes

I'm so excited to stand in lines for hours all day.

>>9532978
Get gel insoles if you need em.

>>9532965
Aww hell yeah. great news! Thank you mother nature.

>>9532975
Plan out all the panels now and get there minimum 1 hour early.
2-3 if you actually want in.
Yard House is best.
Bring water.
Price check exhibit hall items online.

Whats a good time to show up for line con day 0?

>>9533010
Day -1.

What is up with the autograph schedule? Why is like nobody participating in it?

>>9532986
Yea, I'm favouriting the panels on the app and putting them into an excel sheet with buffer time between each panel for walking time and to get there 1 hour early (2 hours for the bigger panels).
I'll have water in my bag.

Since I'm arriving 10pm Day 0 what time should I get my tickets on Day 1 (July 1st)

>>9533019
A lot of guests are industry and may not be autographing under ax's sessions. Industry can setup their autographs separately at booth or just ask AX for a space to do them downstairs

>>9533030
Arrive as early as you can without killing yourself. 7am isn't a bad time if you're with friends.

>>9533045
Yea I can definitely do that.
Hell I can do 6:30am just to get it over with.

Friends are all gonna be there day before.

Btw anyone even know if the Cosplay Deviants event is worth it. Seems like it'd be cringe af with thirsty guys packing the place.

>>9533031
so is it like first come first serve? How is anyone supposed to know when/where to go?

Less than a week! You guys ready?!

Looks like I'm wearing;
Day 1 Sona
Day 2 Miku
Day 3 Tae Takumi (Persona group)
Day 4 Medli

I'm so ready for that Miku dance party, still no confirmed cgull meetup?

>>9533074
For industry guests you have to find out which company is bringing the guest and either check their website or go to their booth to see how they're handling autographs for their guests.

>>9533074
I've only done a few, but for Pony Canyon (Hibike,etc) you usually have to buy something (usually 30+) to get one autograph ticket, then they have a few times a day where they tell you when you can line up with your tickets to get the autographics.

So you basically have to figure out which booth the VA is going to be at, and then go there and ask.

>>9533082
There's no such thing as a seagull meet.

Changing gears a bit, has the Fakku rooftop party released more tickets yet? I'm getting anxious...

>>9533170
It's still showing sold out when I checked earlier today. Really hoping I can snag two.

>>9533170
>>9533174
FAKKU posted that they'll be releasing the last 30 tickets for the rooftop event in about three hours. 10PM PST.

What's the best ramen place to eat at in Little Tokyo?

>>9533340
Daikokuya and Shin Sen Gumi are very good, but almost always have at least an hour's wait time.

Anyone know where/how to get Yoh Yoshinari's autograph? He's not on the autograph schedule and I don't think Trigger has mentioned anything about it, but maybe I just missed it.

>>9533055
>Btw anyone even know if the Cosplay Deviants event is worth it. Seems like it'd be cringe af with thirsty guys packing the place.

was kinda wondering the same but me and my friends are probably just gonna go just to hang out and hopefully relax since we arent doing anything that night.

>>9533055
>Cosplay Deviants

Not even good porn desu senpai

>>9533055
No, dont do it. Its filled with weebs trying to get ass. You might as well just go a few blocks down hit up a massage parlor and get laid there.

>>9533408
Is that possible?
I'd rather fuck cosplay girls though.

>>9533418

Doesn't some cosplay hookers show up around closing time?

>>9533419
Do they? I want in in this.

>>9533419
Everyone at AX can be a cosplay hooker for the right price

>>9533340
Go to other places around the area. Little Tokyo isn't the only place Japs live FYI

>>9533425
I have thousands of expendable dollars. My standards aren't high; just skinny and average looks are good. How do I pay congirls to fug?
I'm not even ugly, just autistic.

>>9533442
try to find some sluts
approach sluts
mention money for slutness
gotta slide in them dms smoothly tho
mentioning you will throw down a thousand will probably get you poon ez pz as long as you look average or better. if you're uggo they might need you to wear a bag or something

I'm pretty average. I'll give it a shot. I feel like a thousand for one girl is a lot though, guess it depends on how they look.

>>9533473
Maybe if you're passable.

>>9533473
What cosplays do you have?

Why does the schedule in the website still sucks?

>>9533477
Yeah you shouldn't need to go to 1000 but it makes it a lot harder to ignore

>>9533483
True. Don't want to low-ball or they'll be turned off from the idea. They'd need to be decently attractive for 1k, I could get some high class hookers for that.

>>9533479

I have a Homura one and a Rem costume.

>>9533488
Lets see those pics

>>9533485
For 1k you could fly to Bangkok and pay for girls (male/femle) to wear cosplay and have your way. I'm serious about it.

>>9533485
you could buy some premade cosplay from aliexpress, hire a hooker, and just have her wear them. the danger would be her fitting into them, of course

>>9533504
Yeah but I don't find many of them attractive. Also worry about my kidneys being stolen. Would be difficult without a guide too I think.

>>9533506
This might work though. I like the idea of paying girls who aren't just hookers however. I'll have to give it some thought.

How many pounds could I realistically lose from now until Day 1?

Depends how fat you are.
Anywhere from 2-7lbs realistically.

>>9533549
you can lose waterweight kind of fast but it's just going to come back just as fast

>>9533419

I couldn't go to that one because of neon district. But I did get tickets to the anamanaguchi one!

>>9533694
at the convention parking lot. i get there super early though.
consistently getting there at 8AM last year on all days and I never had problems finding a space.

>>9533639
Fuck,

I don't suppose they'll be releasing any more tickets will they?
Managed to score tix for the Anamaguchi studio party but not the rooftop one.

>>9534019
It's true. You won't be able to buy a fake katana at AX this year.

>>9532944

Westin woohoooo

>>9534020
Ironically if it was fake it would have been allowed. The only booth affected by this are the ubiquitous sword sellers. No other booth has actual weapons.

Is the maid cafe actually worth it?

>>9534093

Are you a chubby chaser?

>>9534116

Look up panels you'd be interested in. Go to a few ticketed events.
Eat all the hot dogs from the carts.

Anyone want to hang out with fat ugly non-cosplaying weeaboo girl going solo? I can never seem to make any friends at AX, too awkward to talk to strangers.

>>9534288
Will you hold my hand?

>>9533639
I got one randomly checking eventbrite a couple days ago. Someone probably canceling their ticket. Sat there refreshing on my phone and laptop yesterday and got one for my friend though! Getting Blizzcon tickets years ago trained me well.

>>9534124
I went when I was at AX for the first time 4 or 5 years ago. I had very little in ways of spending money and that was the worst $25 I spent. Everyone got a table with like 8 people and one of the maids. Then the maid asked everyone questions like
"what's your favorite anime?"
After that they brought out board games and did these shitty dances on a stage. Idk why but I expected it to be like an actual cafe and get a drink or something. Waste of money though

>>9534314
Is it that bad? I figured I'd go there for a drink and to take a few pics.

>>9534314
I was thinking of going to the 18+ one, but I can't imagine it'll be much better if that's what the normal one was like.

>>9534290
good MAGA cosplay anon!

>>9534331
18+ one has actual japanese maids in bunnysuits

>>9534347
Doesn't really matter if it's hella awkward.

>>9534290
Kenny gets all the bitches.

>>9534328
Iirc they can't actually serve food or drink because it's inside the convention center but outside of the cafeteria. Unless things have drastically changed then you're going there to have an awkward conversation with a 6/10 at best maid and some rando's.
I forgot about the pictures though. That part was hilarious for me. After all the dancing and shit you got to take a polaroid picture with a maid. Most people chose the cutest one or the one that was at their table. When it was my turn they asked me who I wanted and I said "all of them." Because it was so shitty I was going to have some fun at least. And I got what I wanted

>>9534019
Don't worry, you can still bring your own fake prop weapons if they are part of your cosplay. They still have to be inspected and peace-bonded by security anyway, just like the past years.

>>9534249

The second half.

Fanart on keychains and buttons is banned now?

>>9534650
So AX is pretty much putting the ban hammer on like everything.

Any idea what the code geass paid event will be like? Am i expecting a concert or cosplay acting?

>>9534654
Both, its probly an orchestra of the scores with some cosplay acting.

>>9534630
How would this work? Would it be under your name?

We can chill if you want. I'm going w/ my one friend and we're hoping to hang with randos.

>>9534650
>>9534651
wait, so isnt this pretty much the entirety of whats being sold at artist alley? i dont really go to AA that much but isnt it mostly prints of fan art?

if they are getting strict on that, what the fuck are those people going to sell? I know artsts have their own original work but I highly doubt most of them can get by with just their original work.

so are the meetups gonna be girl-only?

usually /cgl/ guys are really creepy and end up making everything awkward..

>>9534755
how would you make things girl only?

>>9534756
Penis inspection of course.

Anyone want to hang out with a fat, ugly, balding, short guy going solo?
Just guys, though. Women usually assume I'm going to violate them if I'm within a 10 mile radius from them, and I'm not even straight.

>>9534760
You sound like me but I'm not gay. I'd hang out with you but my schedule is packed.

>>9534650
they do this every year. from the looks of it, its exactly the same stuff they say yet AA still continues to sell pseudo merchandise

how they hell are they actually gonna ban people from AA, literally almost every artist is going to have either charms(keychains) or pin buttons

>>9534597
Same here, my shit is literally sitting at the depot and missed getting on the truck this morning for some reason and I'm so WHY

>>9534760
I was actually thinking of organizing a guy-only meet-up to avoid thirstfags. Keep an eye out, Anon.

>>9534639
Only if you're unattractive.

Do what I do, which is to immediately bring up your girlfriend in the conversation.

>>9533747
Who be this? I wonder if she's also going to NJPW (I got tox to both nights & meet & greet).

i tend to see peoples "best" on the second day. not only with AX but with any con really. since the first day is usually the day where people just want to settle in first.
but since day 1 is on saturday, i dunno...

>>9534777
Yes, and pretty horrible. The smell was the worst of it, since we went on Day 3 and it was balls hot that year. Some of the costumes hadn't been washed in days and quite a few of the customers as well. The girls ranged from two we nicknamed "Rancor-Chan" and "The Penguin" to pretty cute, we had one of the cute ones and another who looked like she was there for a check or a ticket (and they weren't getting a fair deal.)

We waited in line for an hour, they said that we were gonna start moving in, 20 mins later still nothing, another 15 mins and we finally got in. The first table was sacrificed to The Rancor, we sat at ours, and the rest followed suite.

Proceeds to the show; There's no drinks provided, you have to get your own, no booze, the audio is fucked and the music taste is absolute shit. The humor of the show was bottom of the barrel Twitter "Lol, look how dirty we are! Muh Vagina!" and they had the butlers come up shirtless for the set.

We literally fought for who didn't get the raffle ticket for a picture.

>I thought contact cement was suppose to hold well in the heat
contact cement... apply thin layer to both sides of material you want to bond. allow to dry a moment and attach pressing firmly together for at least 30 seconds to a minute. If weight may cause it to detach use clamps and allow to sit at least 24 hrs.

>>9534953
Leave and do something else, join, bring someone back to fug, or just ignore it.

It's just hit me that I've been going to AX for 5 years and I've never gone on Day 4

What's there to do on Day 4?

>>9534963
Cry that's it's over. Day 4 is always depressing as fuck.

>>9534855
>Love Live, Milky Holmes and Kemono Friends seiyuu
>NJPW
aww damn it why is it the same weekened

>>9534954
yes, im aware on how to use contact cement, I didnt ask for instructions on how to use it but thanks?
my pieces have been glued together and have been sitting in my room for days. no problems at all. only recently did i have time to go out and paint it, thats when the problem came to be when I left it outside.

im guessing its just the kind I used.
I did a WoW armor cosplay a few years ago using Barge and never had problems.
with this, I used Dap welwood contact cement. that shit is cheap so maybe thats why it failed.

>>9534966
I have a car so I plan to just drive to thr Bushiroad place for the stuff I wanna do, which is mainly Milky Holmes, NJPW and Bang Dream. Maybe if you're lucky theres a bus or shuttle connecting the two.

>>9534915
Always my goal but I would be happy enough to make new female friends.

You could go to artist alley and try to get good deals on what ever they are trying to get rid of on the last day, same with dealer's room. But since they are left overs, they might not have appealed to you to begin with,

First time in years I'll be driving to AX every day instead of having a hotel, is the LACC parking lot my best option? The early opening hours are nice.

>>9534597
I commissioned a wig in March and the commissioner just told me she'd be one day shipping it today? My deadline was June 15th and it's the last part of a cosplay I spent well over $600 for. Rip me I'm never commissioning again.

>>9535064
I woulda asked them to ship it to the hotel I'd be staying at. And verify/contact the hotel for holding package/box for guest at their hotel.

>>9534883

>>9534985

>>9534839
Original anon here, thank you! I'm used to cons where you can't pick up badges before the event unless it's a multi-day pass, so I hadn't even considered picking it up early

look for the sketchy ones. A lot of dispensaries have been selling to people 21 and over with valid ID under the table.

How tf do I find friends to spend the convention with? I'm headed w/ one, but we're both awk af and relying on each other to find friends.

Getting drunk and watching hentai with strangers is like our top goal. How can we make this happen?

Get drunk and hit up table top gaming. Ive struck up lots of fun conversations and a few friends this way. Albeit, at smaller conventions but this should still apply to the bigger more competitive ones.

Anime expo is cancelled
RIP

>>9535378
Speaking of which does anyone know if dealers hall is gonna be open for preshow? Debating on splurging $10 so I can skip lines on day 1

>>9535503
Good.

>>9535539
Nope. Not open until 10 am on day 1. Unless you're a premier fan, then you'll get in at 9 on day 1 if all goes according to plan (aka if the event staff is informed).

I had to renew my license last week, my new one hasn't come and they kept my old one. All I have is the paper temp one. Getting in to parties and buying alcohol is going to be a pain in the ass

Oh god the red shirts are dumb as fuck. Mfw had to argue when I had an exhibitors badge

Stupid question, but do you need a ticket for the fukku party? What are the events with Fakku like usually anyway?

>>9535644
Yes.

>>9535644
Yes and they're sold out

>>9533694
I usually try not to but there are plenty of lots. I used spot hero this time to reserve cheaper overnight parking than at hotels. Ended up super close to where I'm staying.

>>9534953
Obviously leave, but there is the option to lay out some schedule times so they know when you're planning to be away. If they start when they know you're in the room it's a 'catch me' kink and the quickest way to solving it would be to leave and not acknowledge them at all. Also employ sock rule, hope you have a good time anon.

if you can find someone whos willing to sell their ticket.
otherwise, youre out of luck. you should have been following their twitter to know when they were giving out the last wave of tickets.

>>9535739
Are you a grill? If not you're fine.
If so you're probably still fine.

where can you buy shikishi boards for autographs?
