Is it me, or did that 'Comic Con Europe' in Rotterdam just came out of nowhere? I see it has the same organisation as CCA, which I heard mixed opinions about.
Wonder how itll go down. Will probably go myself.

>>9316371
They announced it during CCA. And it will be more of the same.

>>9316371
god in heavens, that guy is flooding europe with cons. wonder how long this will go well

just gonna throw out there that re:zero was shit and I'm mad I wasted my time on it

for 2016 overwatch comes to mind

Upset that I didn't see any Magical Girl Raising Project cosplays. Some of them are revealing enough to attract attentionwhores and their more modest friends.

>>9316014
Same here, there's a lot of cute designs to choose from. Though it came out late in the year so maybe there just hasn't been enough time yet?
Overwatch, Pokemon, and maybe Yuri On Ice seemed to be most popular this year

Colossalcon as anon says it leans super hard on its location. The con it self is garbage. The staff is even hotter garbage. The cosplays are meh and repetitive. The location is pretty good. The attendees are amazing.

Meh tier:
Shumatsucon.

Shit tier:
A&G, Matsuri, midori, AP, Yoi

Who? tier:
glass city con, animaticon, kabochacon

Anybody have experience with wearing thermal undergarments under a coord? I'm considering getting a heattech shirt from Uniqlo to wear under a blouse so I don't have to butcher my outfits with a heavy coat.

>>9312991
Of all the wacky shit AP are releasing right now, this one is the one I like the most.

Why is AP the most popular brand?
Can another brand ever become more popular than AP?

>>9312977
I like this, it's a simple coord but I like that sort of thing.

>>9312977
I can't help but see the terror on the teddy's eyes. Like she slaughtered it to wear it as a trophy.

I'm thinking of selling my barely worn Automatic Honey Witch Academy series ring in navy, which I bought new for $26 in the MTO. Navy was only available in the MTO, not the initial pre-order.

I checked LM and AH rings (from other series and from the witch academy series) have sold from anywhere between $25 to $60. I'm not sure if some series/colorways are more sought after, people are just letting go of things for cheaper, or if some series were just more expensive on their initial pricing.

If I can get $50 I'll take it but I'm not trying to be greedy, and I'm guessing MTO items are probably not quite as sought after than items that people go through a bloodbath for, but Im not really sure.

I am probably overthinking this lol

Baby the Stars Shine Bright - Garden of Roses OP

Not sure if I'm just stupid and can't find any old posts or there are literally no listings for this being sold??

Apologies if photo shits itself, posting from mobile, only photo I could find.

>>9311792
I've seen it go for around $50 on Japanese auction sites. Maybe you could get about $100 here. Maybe.

I've been going for the past two years. Its a pretty shit con that most of the Vegas community just chills at. Rave always has drunks from Planet Hollywood who don't know what the con is but still wanna party. If you have low expectations and friends going then its a pretty chill con.

Ah yes, the reason Otakon is $300,000 in the hole in their budget this year. Good ol' worthless moneypit. Good thing they cut their losses after the first two years.....

Con is in two days and the Vegas community is as cringey as ever. Can't wait.

>when newfags try to make a thread

Baozi and Hana will probably be first in line for it, they're pretty good about that sort of thing and Bao already owned Victor's outfit.

>tfw watched it live and watching the subs today
My heart isn't ready for this.

Anyone got recs for a Mila wig? I'm seriously struggling to find anything in a good color.

What a sweet hat. Grenadiers have the best fashions, hussars can go away.

>>9232919
think of all the booze you can smuggle in it

>pic related, the coord you'll put together after having a Grenadier-worthy binge of alcohol

I cosplay and I'm getting into lolita and I'm trying to reign in my desire to buy everything as I build my wardrobe. Right now, I'm sort of buying pieces as I see them second hand, but I'd like to get a better handle on how much I'm spending on my wardrobe.

For cosplay, I only go to 2 or 3 cons per year and the costs are usually low because the badges aren't very expensive and I stay with friends. I usually make 1 or 2 new cosplays and then bring an old one. None of my cosplays have gone above $300 though, so its a cost I'm comfortable with throughout the year.

>>9318324
I'm on the jfashion side but not a Lolita. I spent around $5000 in 2016 out of pocket (basically what gets charged to my credit card and comes out of my bank account). That's increased since I first started but has been reasonably steady over the last couple years.
This doesn't include shipping or second hand buys which I only pay for out of my paypal balance which I maintain by doing my own secondhand sales and other online activity, so I don't really count that.
My flexible monthly budget for non-PayPal balance transactions is usually around $300 but obviously there are exceptions for special releases/fukubukuro or if I travel to Japan where I budget separately for expenses.
I've never really gone over that for multiple months in a row without a special occasion and usually am under budget. I mostly buy new items bc I don't want to regret missing a print or item and I don't want to pay scalper prices later.

I go to cons but I don't cosplay or wear jfash. I'm a student and while I don't have a job at the moment, I don't have a student loan, I live with my parents and I'm granted a scholarship because my family is really poor and disadvantaged. So when I go to cons, usually the local one, I try to spend at most 100€ during the whole con, in merchandises and sometimes food that can't be bought outside of the con, unless you want to buy it online but it would be overpriced. Sometimes I feel guilty whenever I want a figurine that costs 30€ or 40€ so I don't buy it and spend the money on overpriced food because I'm a dumbass.
I'm planning on going to the biggest con of the country, it would cost me way more than that so I have to save money and find a job during the holiday before it takes place.

Honestly; as much as I love anime, manga, video games and cons, those are relatively expansive hobbies and I often feel guilty about indulging in them. It sucks, so maybe I should stop spend money on these things until I'm done with college and have an actual job and a decent income.

I've never heard about this manga but I might read it if I have enough free time. I immediately thought of a manga called Fujoshi Rumi (in the north American official translation at least). It doesn't talk as much about cosplay than about doujins, fujos and cons but it's really fun. It even has scenes about people starting shit on some of the characters on 2ch, with shitposting and vendettas.

I don't cosplay, but 1) I'm a lolita and 2)I've read complex age vol 1 and the original one-shot it was based on. I think it's actually pretty darn accurate from my experience (especially the ultra salty sweet lolita in the short lol) I like the fact that the main is female too, since a lot of stuff is just "look at this dude he's fat and he has 100 waifus"

I loved that!


Looking for more stories about otakus i love this shit

You should have used something like this OP.

I mean will NY Anime Fest manage to break the Russia that is NYC anime cons? Is Liberty anime fest any good? Anyone hype for Anime Next and Neo Anime next (Aka crunchyroll replaces Anext), hype for Zentaikcon?

>>9316518

any good popular/well known anime cons in new york or even massachusetts and connecticut?
not many cons in ontario so i'd be willing to go down south a bit and go sight seeing while im at it, just want to make sure it's worthwhile before making a commitment

>>9316708
The best is prob Anime Boston. NYAF got folded into NYCC, but there are some cons trying to bring back a separate Anime con. They're all kinda in their infancy though. CTCon is nothing to travel for, and a bunch of small cons in the area
