Dutch Thread: "Just Some Smelly Fucking Weebs" Edition

Hey the meet was fun! It just couldve used more people.


>Third time's the charm, especially when you are now sitting in a pool.

I just left the pool, did I perhaps see you there? Describe yourself OP

>>9160610
>Describe yourself OP
White male, 1.80m tall, dark hair, ring beard and a beer belly. I'm wearing white swimming shorts and a pair of wayfarers, and can currently be spotted with a glass of Duvel and listening to Porcupine Tree.
At least now I know it was a Seagull who just ran out of my back yard.

Never going to Abunai again with this hot weather.
Even heard that some people didn't have airconditioning on their hotel rooms and it was even hotter than on the grounds self.

>>9160691
It's more than just a few people as only the superior rooms have air conditioning. I wonder how bad things will be tomorrow after the closing ceremony considering there only are two busses per hour which leave right after eachother...

What did you guys think of Comic con? I liked it.

>>9160691
Rooms in the red area got a desktop fan, not sure about the other sections.

>>9160691
Soooo sooo happy i pay that little extra for a superior.

>>9160751
I'm in blue, no fan

Considering going on sunday, even though the program looks shit.
Few questions:
Is parking doable and how much does it cost
Is the dealer/game room any good because the activities on sunday look boring

>>9160775
>Is parking doable and how much does it cost
Check the NH website

>Is the dealer/game room any good?
Full list of dealers can be found on the Abunai website, game room no idea. It's Abunai meaning small rooms.

I see I haven't missed a thing. Good.

>>9160780
There are separate rooms for DDR, Smash, Pokken and multiplayer, and a new large gameroom 10*30m

Any pics?

And we add a load of Instagram filters to hide all the noise and because I feel like annoying all the professional photographers out there.

But yeah, it does look pretty dark in there. Don't they know that shit is bad for the eyes?

Spotter 4 traps amidst the mediocre crossplayers
Deshima is getting interesting tonight

>>9160971
Why interesting?

>>9160981
going to try to take a cosplay trap with me to my air conditioned room after deshima

>>9160981
Traps and beer goggles always make for an interesting time. Especially when you challenge you drunken mate to take "girl" to his room.

So who going to deshima

>>9161001
Are there pretty convincing traps then? Most people would notice traps right?

>>9160702
Some friends of mine were in a superior and didn't had any airco.
Went to the reception to ask for a fan and they were already gone...so much for paying extra money :I

Anyone know who the new C4 team is?

>>9161089
No one. Seeing as there was only 1 entery.
They didnt say what they were gonna do with C4 dutch prelims.

>>9161057
Of course there are convincing traps, although nothing screams "It's a trap!" more than large hands or anything that looks like an Adam's apple. Of course this is where the beer goggles come in as people stop noticing said features after having a few pints.
So yeah, better be paranoid tonight to make sure those girls aren't lying about their age or end up being boys.

>>9161082
They paid for this room feature, so if they're smart they better go and (kindly) demand some sort of compensation from the hotel.

>>9161052
Going there in just a few minutes with my goon.

Anyone noticed how Abunai closer every entrance to the con except the hotel check in without giving any reason? So much people lockedd outside. They closed the main hall of entirely and gophers are pissed.

>>9161145
Even the "secret smokers entrance"? I cant imagine anyone at Deshima wanting to smoke will keep that door closed.

inb4 smoking/toking is gross, smokers are your way into ANY building.

>>9160733
Pretty good, spoke to some people that were also pretty enthusiastic. Also first time I went in cosplay, a fair amount of people took pictures with me and came up to me which was really cool. Definitly will do that again next year.

Warning to all with extra people in the room.
They are curently doing a sweep of all the hotel rooms. Any rooms found with an airmat will get a fine.

>>9161223
they've been doing that all day

Where you at, C? Wanna see your Mei cosplay.

>>9161223
you can sue them for that: the moment you rent a hotel room, they can only enter with your permission or in reasonable doubt that you are breaking the rules.

>Sweeping hotel rooms at fucking 1am
So as if it's not enough that you pay good money for "superior" rooms without air-conditioning, they are now bothering people in the middle of the night?! GG Abunai, at least now I won't have to worry about getting a room next year.

>>9161255
The hotel is doing this because they are responsible for everyones safety should a fire break out. The escape plans and fire department do not take 6 people per room into account.

>>9161248
They check during cleaning, so just put up a 'do not disturb' sign.

>>9161266
I get the why, just not the "when". Can someone at least tell me they're only sweeping the rooms they are actually suspecting to have more people in them than was booked for, rather than just mindlessly sweeping every single room?

>>9161239
Oh, hi! I've long switched out but I might wear it early tomorrow. Im at deshi atm

>>9160618
Hold the phone.. OP is not a femanon?! Maybe I'm too used of /cgl/ being a femanon base, but yeah I did make that assumption.

Does anyone know who that translator was at the Lovurin Tamburin concert? At first he seemed part of crew, but when he spoke Dutch, it kind of seemed he was just Dutch person that may have been asked to do it by Abunai. Anyway, he was really handsome imo.

>>9161299
Aw yeah that's more like it. I'm there too. I was sort of looking out for you today but failed to locate you.

Hello everyone!! I'm going to be moving from California to the Netherlands soon, I have some questions!
>Any tips on where to get good fabric and stuff like that?
>People to avoid?
>Any anons from Zeeland here?
Thanks so much!!

>>9161279
I have a DND sign on my door they still came in while i was under the shower.

>>9161370
>moving from California to Zeeland
Why

>>9161370
>Good fabric
Online, import or check out the local "markt". Searching Google Maps for "textielwinkel" or "fourniturenwinkel" will also bring you some physical stores to check. As for specific stores in the Zeeland area (as in the providence Zeeland, not the small town Zeeland in the providence of North-Brabant), I recal a store named "Jestex" in the city "Goes". Not sure if its a good one tho...

>People to avoid
Dramafags, dramaqueens, dramaqueers... But honestly I suggest you just give everyone a honest chance. You'll notice who you'll like or dislike pretty early on. Just keep in mind that if you don't speak Dutch and would like to learn it, people here will immediately speak English to you the moment they realise where you're from. This makes it harder and way more annoying to learn Dutch. As for where to start, DuoLingo offers a Dutch course for beginners.

>Any Anons from Zeeland here?
No, but I do know a bunch of "Zeeuwen" (people from Zeeland) and have been there a bit too much. You can expect a lot of depressed young people, a lot of religious old people, a village along the train tracks that reeks of french fries ("Arnemuiden" or "Krabbedijke" IIRC), and finally lots of sex and drugs.

Where is the afterparty? Deshima is over :(

I wanna do dirty things to you but I don't have the guts to say it

We maken onze eigen afterparty, met eenentwintigen en hoeren.

I'd like to go but I don't wanna end up walking around aimlessly again so I'm probably just going back to the room.

>>9161569
The whole meet that happened is mostly over anyways.

>>9161406
Living here in California is really expensive unfortunately, and I got a really good deal down by Middelburg. I have family here as well.
>>9161443
Thank you so much anon!! I really appreciate the resources!! And I'll keep that in mind.

>>9161248
No, not even breaking the rules, only if crime is taking place or about to happen.

Breaking hotelrules such as "crashing" with more people then allowed is not a crime as such that it warrant unauthorized entry. That's the whole point, hanging out a do not disturb sign means you give no permission to enter, no authorization.

And this will hold in a Dutch court, it has been done several times before, and judges ruled in favour of the customer and the not the hotel.

I'm insanely hungover, fml

>>9161592
Was it more successful than the first one?

>>9161596
My brother studied in Middelburg and only had nice things to say about that place!
Hope you have a great time and welcome to the Netherlands.

>>9161845
We drank vodka and talked about Gundam, I'd say it was alright.

>>9161370
I'm not in Zeeland, but very close to it (Noord-Brabant, Bergen op Zoom).
Don't know anyone you should avoid desu cause I'm not really part of any comm but I'm sure most people you'll meet are nice.
So are you a cosplayer, Lolita?

And welcome to Nederland anon.

Anyone looking to hang out for a few hours? Friends all just went home so I'm alone til the end

You guys have no idea what's happening at the AMV compo right now. I'm suffering.

>>9162014
Don't be so vague

>>9162016
Basically the technical difficulties are really bad due to a clearly overheated graphics card so they just put a ton of visitors on stage and made them dance the Macarena

>>9161845
I wasnt at the first but there were certainly more people. Was my first time meeting any gulls anyways

>>9162018
What kind of gpu dies from overheating, holy shit

>>9162024
* dies from amv's I mean, whoops

Pics when???

>>9162024
No clue.
They hooked up a different pc to solve the issue and that one overheated as well.

We left the AMV compo because it was so cringeworthy

>>9162042
And meanwhile I've been perfectly capable of playing Deus Ex Mankind Divided in a room that's been hotter than it is outside these past few days...

>>9162042
Techie here. It is mostlikely a cabel or the beamer glitching drom the heat.
Nothing you can do about that.
And hanging up a new 4 k beamer or video cabel is not somwtjing you want to do hours before closing.

>>9162103
anon it's an anime con, 50% of male participants are techies

>Hold the phone.. OP is not a femanon?!
Yep, Y chromosome and all. I also can't work with fabrics, love overdressing at Halloween parties, enjoy Islay single malts, and always feel lost on the dance floor.

>Maybe I'm too used of /cgl/ being a femanon base
Funfact, I ran a /cgl/ Dutch Thread survey after the global /cgl/ survey of 2016 (pic related). Turns out we have a near 50/50 mixture of guys and girls. I'll might do another survey after this con season is over, even if it's just to see how our ratings of each con have changed (and to add more cons).

>But yeah I did make that assumption.
Yeah, the regular cute OP images and Tully stuff probably doesn't help with that. Still, Tully has become the closest what we have to a mascot and the cute "Dutch Anime" OP images has been a theme from the start.

I saw the creepy foot fetish guy at amsterdam comic con, guess it's the only thing he hasn't been kicked out of.

Can I get your number, C? I think you're cute and I want to go out with you. [spoiler]Didn't have the balls to ask you in person.[/spoiler]

>>9162164
And thus the hunt continues...

>>9162158
>FACTS only marginally better than Tomoshit
>y u no love us dutchies

>>9162164
Why would he get kicked out of cons for having a foot fetish?

>>9162241
Because CK doesn't just like feet, he likes the feet of little boys and isn't afraid to have them perform sexual favours through Skype. Hell, he even send hentai/echi to kids asking them if it turns then on. If anything it surprises me nobody has broken his legs yet.

>>9162241
It's not the fetish, it's that he harassed women for photos and letting him touch their feet. This guy was a fucking creep that just didn't learn.

>>9162206
>because Belgen

>>9162206
Don't forget this survey was done before the first edition of FACTS this year and only had a few votes. Personally I would love to check out the fall edition and am currently looking into it with a Belgian friend. The only thing holding me back right now is the 3 hour train ride. Stupid Fyra, why did you had to fail?

Imo there was quite a lot of good cosplays at Abunai this year.
Let's post/talk about cool cosplays.
Which ones did you like?

>>9162328
just seen a couple of photos, the mei, mccree and junkrat cosplayers were amazing, but they had some cringy cosplayers as well

>>9162347
Yeah the overwatch cosplays (except for d.va's) were really high level, I loved it.
What about the masquerade entries?
The second place winners of both catagories seemed like really stupid choices if you ask me.

>>9162328
I actually found there to be quite little, likely due to the heat.

>>9162361
I felt really sorry for everyone who was wearing a big cosplay in the heat.
I met that girl with the big moving dragon at the CRP because the glue on that thing was melting off.

>>9162358
A male D'va cosplayer got kicked I heard?

Wasn't able to go this year, how was the quality of artists at Abunai? Dutch art community is so scattered (unless there's a page idk about) that I have no idea who sells these days

>>9162358
Does anyone have pics of the winners?

>>9162431
Loish was at Abunai doing demos and signing stuff which was really cool. I'm so happy I got to see her rl.

>>9162400
She did..
Luckily she said she'll use contact glue from now on. That prop was too cute to die so quickly

>>9162398
To be honest, everything feels nearby in the Netherlands as it's a small and mostly flat country. 3 hours is all it takes to drive from Middelburg to Groningen, which is on the other side of the country. Even the train service is pretty good, with it only being 2 hours from my home (170KM away), although it's not the "faster than going by car" I get when going to Amsterdam due to Zeelands lack of a true Intercity line.

>>9160585
>gamepit coup

what do you fuckers want to know ;)

>>9162525
it's easy but not cheap (talking about the train here) so if you do plan to take a trip to the other side of the country, be sure to check for special train ticket deals and see if you can snatch one.

>>9161339
I know he is not single.

We heard the story of one side. So what is your story, as I think you are on the other side?

>>9162542
Hmm, well I guess I am not surprised..

>>9162535
Yeah, buying separate tickets is expensive as fuck. Luckily some work contracts (partially) cover travel expenses which is great if you don't have or want a car. Then you also have those special day tickets you mentioned (ie €12 for a day of unlimited travel) and several train subscriptions like the Weekend Vrij (unlimited travel from Friday 18:30 until Monday 4:00, and a 40% discount during weekdays outside rush hours, for €32 a month) which I have. Plus you can get a (partial) refund whenever you're delayed by 30 minutes or more, even with train subscriptions. Hell, I had months where the NS paid me back €16 due to delays...

>>9162534
Why should I care about GamePit and a tl;dr: summary of what happened would be nice.

>>9162557
well, being a volunteer myself, i experienced brians idiocy firsthand, and believe me he's a lot worse then the document says, he refuses to give any info or communicate about what he's doing and why, even to the other heads, brian has been nothing but a talker and a bookkeeper, nothing more, renzo is the true head, he has been fighting for the volunteers (which is his fucking responsibility as the head), making the info that everything is going to shit public was his idea, although i don't agree with his decision to do it, i get why he did it.

Brian being TomoMark's BFF, is totally a one-sided friendship, TomoMark really does want to take over gamepit (i don't get why he would want something shitty as gamepit)

any more questions i'd like to answer them ;P

>>9162573
Are the documents he released accurate wrt the legal stuff because it looks like Brian is about to seriously lose a court case

>>9162573
I really don't understand why this drama should be more interesting than Abunai after-talk atm..

Doesn't anyone have some fun pics to share? I was too busy cosplaying to take much myself.

>he's legit a retard, and way to unprofessional though

>>9162604

While it was the hotel that went full Gestapo, I still wonder if they sweeper every room or just the ones they suspected to have more people in them than was booked for.

>>9162635
exactly this

>>9162635
Even then studentenverenigingen don't just hand out important tasks like bookkeeping to just anybody. Typically you start out low and gain more responsibilities as time goes by and you have proven yourself competent enough.

was hoping for some posts bout the deshima text board, but so far I have only found 1

That definitely played a part in it too. Talking about Tully, guess who this is? I'm so sorry OP. But that said, I still appreciate your work, and all the Tully edits. (and yes I am a femanon, but I'm sure you have guessed that already)

For lolita Fashion: Start by joining the dutch community on facebook (Just look for the Dutch lolita's official)
From there you'll be able to find a group specifically for the south, it's kinda dead, but you'll be able to connect with lolita's from Zeeland really easy on that page.
Be sure to let the mods know you'll be moving to the NL! Good luck

I heard the D'va guy cosplayer with no dance belt was kicked because he took pantsu shots.

>>9162846

i heard that they found a gopro on the ground where the overwatch shoot was and some girls thought that that dva guy was secretly filming panty shots.
the fun part is, it wasn't his gopro and the actual owner was making a timelapse and forgot to take it with him again.

>Talking about Tully, guess who this is?
The seagull who ran out of the pool in my backyard, who else? No but seriously, I have no idea. Unless you were at the Animecon meet and somehow mistook me for a girl I have no idea who you could be. Safest bet is probably the person who originally posted Tully, or the person who said "Meer hema worst en meer Tully" in the survey?

I am the person who originally posted Tully, yes.

Do you have more ways to describe him than just that? I saw several male D.va's, but I only paid attention to their faces/upper torsos. Not that anon btw, but just curious anon.

The AMV was a total cringefest. Just a few good ones in a sea of lesser vids.
Spotted a few with logos and/or fansubs again (seriously, why does Abunai keep that in the rules when they clearly allow those after all), bad timings (at least until the player pc crapped out), lyrics written over (my ears are fine and I am able to listen to the song) and the same old images again and again.
I liked the Love Hina vid and the MarikoAMV vid. The Azumabga Daioh vid was probably inspired by the Freaky Friendship-video of a few years ago, the My Little Pony/Madoka video was crap. It also didn't help that they were playing every video back to back, so resetting your senses was pretty much impossible, resulting in a mass of images without a clear separation.
I do like the fact that the presenter put effort into making something of it: he clearly couldn't help it.

Overall was Abunai again Abunai. Origami rockets looking like penises all over the place, looking out of place, countered by some admirably built pieces , but again deminised by the cardboard-and-toiletroll set piece they apparently used for their opening film.

I don't get it, really.

Disgusting. This is not any less ignorant than Nazi cosplay. They should be glad no one recognized what they were cosplaying. Speaking of which, are there any conventions that have it set in the rules that you shouldn't wear cosplay that may be viewed as offensive?

>>9163536

Hopefully not. It's that kind of vague, 'we won't tell you what might get you kicked out' rules that ruin human gatherings in general

I made a summary post for all pictures last animecon but theres not too much up yet as of right now. Are people interested in stuff from that OW meet? Its literally the only album up so far of decent quality. I could point the questioned male d.va out with those. Or if a short discription is enough, it was the one w/o wig and short hair.

>>9163570
Uhmm if they know it's offensive, then why would they cosplay it in the first place? You're kind of fucked up if you idolize mass murderers.

>>9161406
ooh zeeland. Not too many cosplayers here, GL it's kinda boring here

So they indeed checked the rooms and if there were air mattresses they just took them, even if you had the DND sign hanging (as this happened to us) BUT for just paying 30 bucks you could just stay in the room again, because 3rd person payment (as abunai DOESNT give this option....) luckily the guy behind the counter said it was already past midnight and we didn't have to pay.

Also too bad I couldn't come to the meet, was too busy with the masquerade after it ended because of reasons

>>9163565
Want to share?

>>9163591
I agree. It's more offensive than nudity, and nudity does get banned. Though, it's good to see that so far Dutch cosplayers have the common sense not to cosplay Nazis. Even though a part of me would love to see ignorant people cosplay Nazis in public in the Netherlands, and then get totally trashed/beaten up by our Dutch society. Now that would be a scene to enjoy with some popcorn!

>>9163615
These girls are lucky no one recognized them. If this had spread at the con they would have been banned or indeed beaten up by whoever found them first.

I also think it's ridiculous to say that barely anyone knows about Columbine desu.

>>9163617
I think many saw them but just thought it was from an obscure show or game, no one would expect to see mass shooters as cosplay

>>9163617
>These girls
I'm confused.. I thought Yoshka/Mooshy Soup was a guy?

But yeah I totally agree with you!

>>9163625
i wouldn't care even if Yoshka identified as an attack helicopter. I have no idea who this person actually is. I just went on looks

>>9163566
It just makes me wonder if you should report these type of people for safety reasons.

>>9163667
Haha, that was Friday. Saturday it was better.

>>9163667
The concert on Saturday was definitely more crowded. And then a lot of people left, even though Airi was still suppose to play. Which was kind of weird/sad.

>>9163683
I think people aren't used to it yet that there are two bands. Didn't they say something like.. please wait for the next performance?

>>9163667
I think they need to promote the performances more somehow. They don't get any more attention than regular panels which is a shame. Maybe print out some flyers next time or something.

>>9163699
That is a good idea!

So anyone here whos seen that trailer of xbox nl from zero to hero? If so, opinions?

nah the paper ones they sticked to the walls....

>>9163696
Not of which I can remember, but I saw Airi's crew changing the stage right after Loverin Tamburin was done. Then again, it could be that people left because of the heat too.

>>9163718
Yes, it was indeed hot!

>>9163718
> it could be that people left because of the heat too.


yet the disco and deshima were crowded af and were like standing in a vulcano and nobody left, the compo's both friday and saturday were hot af and was crowded, nah idk man, that's def not the reason

>>9163723
I never heard from both bands before and I wasn't the only one, I heard this from more people.

The disco wasn't that crowded.. Deshima was twice as crowded. But I guess that people sorta 'dressed' for a rave in a sauna (ie. sans shirts, short shorts, etc). I mean, I didnt see much bra's/bikinitops in the audience of the AMV compo.

>>9163536
Not that I'm aware off, which is a good thing really. It's pretty hard to draw the line of what's offensive and what isn't, especially as everyone's "referentiekader" is different. But indeed, unironically cosplaying a mass murderer is taking it a bit too far.

>>9163615

Right, so, here's the pictures from the overwatch shoot, add a fb url at the front: RoarandClank/photos/?tab=album&album_id=285582295156120

And here's a small list of other Abunai photographers who might not have uploaded everything yet but will soon™(hopefully):
(fb) /JeroenWeimarPhotography/?fref=ts
A general goodie, I really expected him to go to ACC but he held a lecture so I guess that had something to do with the decision.

(fb) /Kaleidoscopy/?fref=ts
Profiling shots, already has some previews up. This guy is improving every convention I see his work.

(flickr) /photos/74914903@N07/albums/72157669850500264/page2
Pics from the compo's and workshops, it's that hawk for DA that won the masq for anyone wondering.

/deschuurr/?fref=ts
Cos pics, profile shots etc. I think they where orginally a YT channel that also started doing pics and they're already doing quite wel imo.

(fb) /kees.stravers
Pics of deshima and some night time shots. Average stuff really.

As for videographers:
(YT) /user/dnstje
This guy will have a impression vid sometime later. I saw him all weekend with his cam so no doubt there just unsure when.

(YT) /user/HollandianGProds
Same as dnst, saw him around a lot, just nothing up yet.


I'll make a better list when/if more comes out

>>9163608
So they ignored your Do Not Disturb sign and stole something from your room?

>>9163703
Yeah I saw it, looked pretty cool. Dont know much of the cosplayers, just some of them

>>9163731
Plenty of people do when you actually wear it. Do you want to try it out? I'll bring a chair and some popcorn.

>>9163728
thn you weren't there all night, it was really crowded and more so when they had to stop. Actually liked the abunai beats a little better because, unlike Deshima, they didn't stop the music and didn't change the beat so that people are standing still, they faded and changed the beat slowly, deshima is losing their touch, maybe these 2 should work together.

>>9163741
yep they this that in a lot of rooms, happened to us too. They gave it back though but if you wanted to stay you had to pay. Wondering how many people left it behind. Because, well, reporting something stolen while staying in a room that's for 2 with 5 people isn't really what I call fair as well. It's kind of a lose-lose situation if you think you'll have to pay a fine, which is what we thought would happen at first. But a nice gopher helped us out and all was good.

So what did you guys think of Comic Con Amsterdam? It was my first convention and first time cosplaying and I had a blast. Heat management is a bitch and so is navigating a crowd with a mask on. half a dozen people explicitly asked for pictures with / of me and a bunch more took pics without asking. Great friendly atmosphere as well, felt great to see people with much higher power levels than me for once.

Will probably go next year again and bring friends along.

>>9163601
I wouldn't dare to go to school anymore if any one of those creeps went there. (good think i left high school 10 years ago). What the actual hell, it looks like they are obsessed with school shootings.

>>9163809
Overly commercialised trash and it felt more like a fair than a convention.

>>9163820
That's one thing that bothered me, it's in one big floor. Anything that wasn't a store / commercial stand got squished into a corner. It would've been a lot better if it were more spaced out in different halls with bigger non monetized side events. They had two halls so there's no reason why they didn't spread out more, there was one pathetic wrestling stand in the hall with the tables and benches, but they could have spread those throughout the convention.

>>9163779
i think you werent there the whole night. abunai beats played half the crowd dead because they stood too long on one style. like wth with the disney music? and wth with the promised 80's music while 75% of it was 90's?

deshima actually got right because they have multiple styles throughout the whole night.

>>9163855
At least 95% of the music at Abunai! beats was danceable. Deshima has been steadily getting worse and worse every year.

The only part where they played the crowd dead must have been the elctro swing part when everyone was busy watching at people dance in that the silly circle again. Which happens atleast 5 or 6 times every Deshima.

>>9163855
So I take it you are one of those people that likes to stand still the entire night

>>9163826
That's the nature of every Comic Con I'm afraid. All they do is cash in on geek culture and now even the Dutch audience is (foolishly) starting to fall for it. Meanwhile our long standing Dutch cons are non-profit and fueled by passion, which they really show in their execution. They offer so much more content, most of it being free and even their paid events are at a fair price. Hell, even a single day at Abunai offers more content than a day at ACC or DCC despite being nearly the same cost.
Seriously, I fear the day "our cons" fall as low as ACC/DCC as they realise they can get away with pulling similar shit...

>>9163820
>>9163826
I feel like you guys haven't been to any expo's. This isn't much different from F.A.C.T.S or MCM. They aren't like anime conventions. Their main selling points are guests, showcases, cosplay masquerade and buying things.

>>9163881
no, i actually danced all night during deshima, than that boring friday disco

>>9163893
so much hate, yet that splitsecond deshima has silence and the beat changes that fast people are standing still and friday nobody stood still, applauding the hypocrits that are too blind deshima is losing their touch and are too autistic for change

>>9163869
Didn't see a circle this time during Deshima.
They couldn't have done it even if they wanted to. Crowded af.

>>9163897
lol who's hating now. The Deshima DJs are great, I was dancing all night despite the heat. I wish it wouldve gone on another 2 hours when it stopped at 3AM.

lusu gaan jonguh

>>9163897
are you by any chance the friday dj that just hate deshima?

because apparently you fail to notice how crowded deshima is compared to abunai beats. While abunai beats was practically empty at 2am, deshima was still full at 3 am and people wanted more.

eitherhow, you probably hate dance music in general.

>>9163601
>then why would they cosplay it in the first place?
Becuase they're edgy obsessive fucks who spend literally their entire lives trying to be something they're not. I know these people from other drama and they are truly obsessed with getting attention for being edgy, to the point of threatening and harassing others for attention. Honestly, if I saw Silas in the street I'd push her under a bus, she's disgusting.

>>9163927
I guess I can believe that. Didn't mention this earlier, but actually, in Pedro's video, Silas seemed super aggressive and bitchy too. It surprised me no one mentioned anything about her behavior, but I guess it's because she was attacking Chris instead of Myra.

>>9163817
If there will ever be a shooting at a Dutch anime convention, we know who the culprits are.

>>9163955
The snipers on the roof of the Joegoslavië tribunaal or Europol?

>>9163961
OK with exception of animecon, then.

Did anyone catch the closing ceremony, and if so, have they announced their date for next year yet?
TPC just announced their event for next year with Angelic Pretty, on August 26th 2017. I'd be really bummed out if they're on the same date again. They probably are, huh...

>>9163966
Last weekend of August for Abunai. Weekend of August 5th for Acc

>>9163953
That's why I don't believe anything she said about Chris, who would credit an edgy fuck like that with any kind of honesty? Like I don't really know Chris but Silas is clearly a fuckwit and people who side with her on any kind of drama should be questioning themselves.

>>9163972
Well, crap. Thanks for the info at least.

>>9163965
Ow... Brian looking for revenge after having his ass handed to him in court?

>>9163984
Brian can't do it alone? As with Anime.Amsterdam he needs Tomo to do his things, right?

>>9162368
Does anyone know who that girl was? I wanted to ask about her prop but I only saw her at the masq

>>9163923
Nah I don't think he's the Friday dj, seeing as how the Friday dj really enjoyed Deshima and stayed for the whole thing.

And there are always more people on the Deshima Party than at the Friday night party.

The cringe continues

To any Abunai staff in this thread:

if I were to have a great idea for next year that I could execute myself, would I be able to fetch myself one of them fancy staff tickets and a free room like the other staff?

>>9164062

>>9164062

Indeed, she should let her dreams of being a cosplayer go.

It's cringey, but in a cute way.

>>9164070
Ha.
as if the staff gets a free room
keep on dreamin buddy.

>>9164070
To the visitor in this thread, new idea's are welcome. But staff tickets? That's new. Also, we pay for our own hotelrooms. and food, we only get a free ticket to our own event really

>>9163972
so from abunai to castlefest, darn it showmasters!

>>9164104
Oh that's what I thought. Huh. Nevermind about that part then, I guess.

>>9164070
Not part of the staff, but I do have friends who are in it. They are only guaranteed a room and dont have to join in on the abunai hotelroom bloodbath, but they still have to pay their own room.

>>9164114
>>9164122
Oh I see, that's still cool though. Who do I hit up for suggestions and such?

So who won the friday and saterday compos? I had events during both so i didnt see them

>>9164135
CAC on saterday was won by the Miraculous Ladybug duo. Their act was pretty fun.

>>9164070
>>9164120
Depending on what it is a normal day ticket should be no problem(it's a general thing for event holders) but as said by others we don't even get our own hotels free.
Also there's no such thing as a staff ticket, there's just, tickets and VIP tickets(which are only available by winning stuff like competitions).

Abunai 2017 ideas:
>Abunai Hunger Games: last man standing is guaranteed a room the following year.
>Abunai branded handheld fans for sale in the dealer room. Batteries sold separately.
>Japanese whiskey tasting, pretty please? Also, not hosting any tastings before 18:00 would be nice.
>3 man hotel rooms (even if it means bringing an inflatable bed from home) would be awesome, but that's up to the Koningshof to decide with the fire safety regulations and everything.
>Turn on the lights in the game room. Bright screens and dark rooms are sooooo bad for your eyes.
>Release the (partial) schedule a bit earlier next year.
>Speaking of the schedule, an app like the one Animecon has would be nice. That or responsive web based version where you can click/tap on items for more details. Or just an imagemap linking to the event page of each event...
>NO BROKEN HOTEL EXCEL SHEET! Seriously NH Hotels, why not use your already existing online reservation tool?! Use your influence Abunai, you can do it!
>Share the outcome of the mandatory post-Abunai survey and/or keep us posted on how Abunai will handle the most common complaints.
>Tell those cosplayers sitting behind the hotel reception desk their costumes suck and that they should feel bad.
Okay, maybe not do the hunger games one unless you can use water guns or paint balls...

>>9164134
[email protected] good luck

>>9164165
>Abunai Hunger Games: last man standing is guaranteed a room the following year.
mostly for clarification, hotel reservation are only for volunteers(staff/stewards/gophers) some event holders and some dealers. We could do that for a VIP ticket tho, but someone external would have to host it.

>Abunai branded handheld fans for sale in the dealer room. Batteries sold separately.
Good call I'll pass it on.

>Release the (partial) schedule a bit earlier next year.
>Speaking of the schedule, an app like the one Animecon has would be nice. That or responsive web based version where you can click/tap on items for more details. Or just an imagemap linking to the event page of each event...
Look bud I'm going to try my darnest to fix that now that I already know I'm likely doing it myself again instead of having to suddenly take over.

Anyhow, I hope the gulls who visited had a good time.
If you have any feedback or ideas you want my fellow staff to take serious just shoot an email to [email protected].

>>9164165
>Japanese whiskey tasting, pretty please? Also, not hosting any tastings before 18:00 would be nice.
Shoot, I totally forgot the sake tasting. But I prefer sake over whiskey, btw. So it better not be hosted at cost of the sake one.

That would have to be a blends tasting then. Japanese single malt is getting insanely expensive, because most of the interesting, older single malts are either sold out or ultra rare. It will be at least five to ten years from now before this bounces back.

>>9164540
It sucks how expensive it is. I love myself a single malt, but even the crappy Japanese ones are twice what you would pay for a good scotch. I miss my Hibiki 17 tho :(

so who won the firday competition?

That's a compromise I can deal with. I get that it's troublesome to organize two separate events indeed.

I saw more interesting cosplays at ACC on Sunday, than I did at Abunai on Saturday. Then again, Abunai has so many halls, I probably missed out on some cool ones.

Well shit. Now I'm actually sad that I didn't go to Deshima, would've loved to see that. That video request is definitely seconded.

What time is it? It's auto-sage time!
New thread can be found at >>9164815 and this time I didn't even fuck it up thrice in a row...

>>9163357
I'm more curious why you think I'd even want anyone to know me on 4chan

>>9163809
I had the exact same experience as you had, even a mask that made it hard to navigate.
But I'm not bothered at all with the fact that comic cons are basically markets.
