AX 2017

>>9461217
>I've been going to AX for 4 years now and I've never seen the main floor THIS crowed before?
Looks like the crowd waiting for the expo hall to open. There was a big rush last year.

>>9461225
Why rush? Not like it's any different all four days?

why do i have a sinking feeling that there will be somesort of politcally motivated fight this year?


also possible attack on convention ??????

>>9461227
many people feel that is part of the "experience". frick that, body odors, weaboos sweaty perspiration, and who wants to be stuck in that as you inch your way to the doors lolol... I personally just wait it out an hour or so.

>>9461232
>also possible attack on convention ??????
this posting again?... yeah attacking animu will cause a financial strain on the federal gov't so they can't build that wall to stop the islamic kaijus.

>>9461232
>some sort of politically motivated fight this year?

Only if a bunch of people come dressed as Trump and Hilary and the other Presidents to have a Mortal Kombat style photo shoot.

Wait. That would be great. Get to it people.

>>9461227

Some booths, like 5 out of the 1000, will have some raffles for rare Funko Pop figures or free sticker give away. Gotta get your free swag man.

My friend who went to SDCC won a raffle and they gave her a Suicide Squad Funko Joker SDCC exclusive. She sold that shit on ebay literally two minutes later for $300.

Is anyone going to be cosplaying idolm@ster? This will be my first year at AX and I'll be all alone in a skimpy idol costume which makes me nervous

>>9461420
I'll be there as Kirarin!

Speaking of idolm@ster, still stressing about sales for kawaii live soon. For people who got tickets already, how's it looking out there? I've never used their sales platform before.

>>9461430
Awesome! I'm going as Mika. I'm kind of interested in seeing if I could get a group together.

I had someone with the premium pass get my ticket for me early, so I can't tell you what it's like

>>9461217
I found waldo in there

Any Nier:Automata cosplayers going?

>>9461217
Well thats interesting, it seems the crowd at the moment is like 98% dudes? Someone told me that AX is mostly nerd women?

>>9461420
I'm probably going to cosplay kanako to kawaii live (if i don't decide to do azalea hanamaru or cyaron you for it)
I'm ready to die in a bloodbath tonight

>>9461420
I'm probably doing Kirari! Or maybe Mari from Aqours?
Also interested in how the sales are going/ how many seats are left.

>>9461232
Isn't there supposed to be some impeachment march passing the convention center one of the days?

>>9461232
Is this a warning in disguise anon

>>9461420
Are you interested in a recording session with me and my friends to make you into a real idol?

>>9461232
Hey /cgl/ you're pretty cool, don't go to AX this year.

>>9461570
If you do Mari I have a photoshoot for you

Mari is best girl

Don't scare me like this, I'm already paranoid about everything

What does everyone think the likelihood of the kawaii live selling out will be? I can't commit to attending for another week or 2 and I'm dying.

>>9461647
They're probably going to sell out tonight to be honest

>>9461649
Thanks Anon

>>9461649
>>9461647
Seat Selection will probably open before they completely sell out so you can monitor how many seats are left. I'd be really surprised if they sell out tonight and if they do sell out they might be able to start selling mezzanine seats since they're not currently using the full configuration of the theater.

>>9461577
Fucking hell, there is one on the 2nd. It's supposed to be at City Hall though, who knows how far they'll spread. It'll be a mess if they spread as far as the convention center.

Where is the concert map for kawii japan?

>>9461724
It's the same as Super Live, go look at seat selections there.

>>9461749

Try using a different browser. Good luck getting tickets though. Can't seem to find consecutive seats together using "best available"

>>9461749
Refresh ASAP, seat selection just opened.

I have Orchestra tickets in good spots in the basket but I already bought 2 Loge tickets for me and my buddy earlier in the fray. Should I just buy the orchestra tickets now and try to resell or get a refund on the loge tickets later?

>>9461777
You won't get a refund and it's technically against the terms to sell them plus you'll probably have trouble selling Loge tickets if there are any tickets at all left before the show. It's a shitty situation but if you want to sit closer that's the only way.

>>9461777
buy the good tickets, write off the loge tickets

they're cheaper anyway and consider it a seat upgrade fee. maybe sell for $20 each or something near the show.

>best avilability had no orchestra so settled for loge
I hate this fucking system.

Anyone have any tips on shipping cosplay? I want to bring my Bastion but worried about pricing/holding up in the mail. I'm in TX atm.

Pic related, it's the cosplay. It's pretty big and bulky which is why I'm concerned.

>>9461808
AX claim they disabled seat selection at sale start because people complained about seats disappearing when they tried to click on them but this shitshow seat lottery is way worse. I personally didn't have any problem choosing seats right when it opened last year and got good spots everywhere.

Somebody got an answer to this on twitter so apparently they might make some exceptions to the refund policy.

looks like everything but the guns would fit in check-in luggage with some tetris skill. just stuff the guns in a carryon/duffel with a bunch of pro-trump hats and bumperstickers - TSA will get a nice laugh (assuming you are flying from tx)

>>9461852
Thanks. I emailed them before I saw this. It's so dumb to not have seat selection in the first place.

You lose your reserved tickets and you're taken back to the landing page.

Just bought loge tickets bc I'm a cheap bastard. How bad/ far away are they?

>>9461420
there's been im@s gatherings at AX for at least the last 5 years I've gone

>>9461855
The material isn't that sturdy, its all foam which makes me concerned with just throwing it into checking

>>9461817
Is that Brianna Wu as D.Va?

>>9461939
I think her tag was icequeenog?

I forget, I couldn't hear too well in that thing.

>>9461232
Antifa are going to shoot fireworks at the convention center because anime is a hate symbol

>>9461232
>>9461644
I work in EMS and this always makes me feel like bringing a first aid kit just in case - I feel like security would frown on that however.

>>9461958
>Alt-right weebs vs. Antifa

Can't wait. Hope somebody cosplays as stickman.

>>9461986
I worked in security. I would never frowned in that.Only weapons and making scenes are bad.

>>9462015
Good to know, thanks anon!

>>9461701
I got VIP tickets but if I can upgrade to meet and greet i might do that. I'm way to hyped over it.

>>9461996
>Alt-right weebs
uhh wut?

>>9461986
Security will never see your kit unless it comes out and if it does come out it means shit is going down. You and your kit will be appreciated if you need to patch someone up. Even a basic bleeder kit in your bag will be good to have and won't take up a ton of room.

>>9461217
That looks like a nightmare

I'm coming from Toronto for AX, I've never been to a con in the states but my roommate does AA there so she asked me to come along to help. I'm pretty excited. Do they have a lolita teaparty or is it rlly cosplay focused?

>>9462237
that nightmare is because everyone is milling around waiting for the exhibit hall to open

honestly it's almost as bad during the rest of the day too though

>>9462237
the big crowd is just people waiting for the exhibit hall to open.

Pro Tip: if youre just casually trying to get in and not really trying to get in as quickly as possible to get some sort of exclusive, just go to one of the side entrances.
of course there will be lines but it wont be a huge crowd like that.

>>9462913
Not like any of the con goers give a shit about politics during AX. I remember seeing 4 MAGA hats(1 vendor and 3 fat dudes) during the last year's event. Everyone still bought h-doujinshi from the guy and no one was hasslnig the 3 other dudes.

>>9461577
I'd rather there be a march to get rid of those religi-tards on the crosswalks.

>>9463193
I love those guys, they're an essential part of the con experience. I'd rather get rid of the creepy cult guys selling books.

>>9463198
The adorable Buddhists? Nah. At least they don't have megaphones and insulting everyone.

(were you being sarcastic)

In the end, I like to imagine they're all just trolly cosplayers that took their role way too far. It's the only way to get through the day.

>>9463201
>At least they don't have megaphones and insulting everyone.

Let me re-word that.
*At least they don't insult everyone with megaphones.

Sorry I'm slightly dizzy from hydrocodone. Only slightly.

>>9462237
I mean they have a Maid's Cafe. I've never been but I hear it's crap. Also you don't HAVE to cosplay to anything unless you want to. But you'll see plenty of cosplayers walking around.

>>9461996
>Hope somebody cosplays as stickman.
I wonder if that chinese boy ever got his shield back.

I wonder if cosplaying as Pepe would be a bad idea

>>9463313
>cosplaying a meme
What do you think?

>>9463313
Cosplaying a meme is guaranteed a good time, no joke.

>>9463313
If you keep it as nonpolitical pepe no one will care

>>9463230
The maid cafe blows. They dont serve food, the play with you for a little bit and then do a little dance

How overpriced was it for a drink?

>>9461817
If you have a friend who's driving to the con I'd probably do that. I fly for all my cons and I ship my gun props to any friends who are driving or live in the area

>>9463736
this is what's worst about maid cafe. it's too short and the food/drink takes too long. last year they had you line up to get your own food.

at least they had maidreaming but they only did a couple of dances. those three maids that came are the top maids of their respective stores.

Has anyone ever been inside Lounge 21? What's in there?

>>9463897

>>9463944
Was it worth that wait? I never had patience for that line. I was always cringing it up at the dance instead.

>>9463985
Speaking of the dance, I'm kind of new to dances and this might be slightly off topic...

So the only time I dance is at the AX dance. Like, ever. I'm not great or anything but I just love getting lost in the music. Maybe I'll latch onto a train or two and watch some people in the dance circles, but other wise I'm always alone. I always get a few guys asking to dance with me, and I never know how to respond. I just try to politely decline because I don't know how to dance with another person. But does it look stupid if I'm just dancing by myself? Am I practically asking for it if I'm doing that? Am I being rude by saying no? I just always prefer to dance alone, because if a random stranger comes by then suddenly it feels like I have to perform or something and I get really anxious.

Is this normal? Am I being mean? No I don't have enough common sense to know this myself haha...

>>9463897
bar
random music acts
sometimes actual music acts

>>9463985
yeah fuck that line I want to know if the fakku party was worth it

>>9463995
Are you giving examples of instances where this occurs? Ok then, haha. Was just worried I looked dumb dancing alone. Like I said, the AX dance is the only time I ever really dance so I don't know what the norm really is. And I don't go to bars.

>>9464004
are you >>9463987? i was answering the question of lounge 21, unless you're that person too. that and the dance are two different things unless there's actually something danceable being played at the time or maybe a scheduled show (ie teddyloid)

>>9463987
No it's never weird dancing by yourself. What's weird is when your self-conscious, you're dancing, and you're looking around all the time as if someone is going to suddenly point at you and say, "HEY! THAT KID IS DANCING BY THEMSELVES!"

Just have a good time. If someone turns me down to dance that's fine, just there to have fun. Sometimes you will have to be rude though, some people there are really weird and pushy.

>>9463987
>I always get a few guys asking to dance with me
Are you at a ball or something?

>>9463987
Honestly just turn them down and do your own thing. They're guaranteed to be thirsty and one ruined the dance for me my first AX by trying to french kiss me out of nowhere while I had a boyfriend at the time. Now I do my own thing and ignore everyone. If you're by the stage people leave you alone.

>>9463590
Does a HWNDU flag count as political?

>>9464852
You might get some shitty remarks from a small population of edgelords, but that sounds like a pretty neat thing to have, anon.

>>9464884
I should have checked the comment trail, but I'm amending the reply now - combination of Pepe with HWNDU is, unsurprisingly, pretty political. Enjoy the frog as the good good meme boy he is, not as a right-wing mascot.

Should I even go this year?
I missed out on buying the 4-day pass for 70 and now it's 80 dollarydoos and my poorfag ass just spent money on grad applications and transcripts.

Honestly, I have not gone in 9 years but since I'm going to move out of state for grad school I almost want to go and do everything this time instead of lounge around the convention for 1 day.

You could just not buy any merch at the con. They're more expensive and you can always find it elsewhere. Con vendors usually don't carry hard to find merch anyways so this is where you should cut.

Room orgies.

Only reason to go to AX.

>>9464036
Oh, I'm sorry. For some reason I thought you were replying to my comment. Nevermind then.

Yeah, that's true haha. It would be more weird to be paranoid. I'll just have to not be so worried about it and focus on the dance. Thanks.

>>9464546
Nah, it's the AX Dance. Nothing fancy about it. I'm always surprised that people even notice me. I'm like 5 feet tall surrounded by a mob of people just jumpin around. ....perhaps that makes me stick out more..

That's such an impossible number for me. Once I get inside that Marukai Market, I end up buying all sorts of food. Plus I always end up eating at that revolving sushi bar (I forgot the name).

Don't even get me started on the Tokyo Lifestyle store.

I spend AT LEAST $200 in Little Tokyo. And that's when I'm being careful and penny pinching.

>>9465071

I wouldn't recommend buying anything from the exhibit hall that isn't,

A) An AX exclusive. Good Smile seems to have a few every year or at least a WonFes exclusive that they brought to AX

B) Actual good art from Artist Alley

Friendly reminder that this year's discord is up here.

>>9462870

>>9465236
^ this. I mean this is pretty standard advice for any sort of spending. Don't do it unless you really need to. Look for rare things or things you MUST have, but if it's something you can get online or back home easily, just avoid it.

For example, I never buy manga or DVDs at AX because I can just get that online any time for much cheaper. Plushies, SOME figurines, wall scrolls, accessories...just get that all online. Artist Alley stuff, rare figurines, and stuff online that MAY SOMEHOW be cheaper at AX, go ahead and buy that at the con. It'll also be less annoying carrying around less bags. It's just common sense.

But I guess it also depends on whether you like to collect things or not and what exactly you collect. I can imagine if you're a huge Nenderoid fan or you buy things from that one stand that sells the steampunk stuff made of leather, you can rack up quite a hefty sum pretty quickly with only 1 or 2 things.

>>9465236
???
I buy gundam models all the time at AX. i mostly save anywhere between $20-60 because I dont have to pay for shipping if i buy the same model online.

>>9465229
I spent $70 at Little Tokyo last year and didn't have time to eat some of the grocieres I bought so it ended up expiring, that is one of the reasons I'm cutting down on that, 90% of the Little Tokyo budget pretty much goes straight to the bakeries anyways.

The restaurants I might eat at are spent on the food budget.

>>9465270
Ah, I don't blame you. I just try to eat all the perishable shit during the con asap. Damn I love those bakeries. I got green tea bread last year and it was pretty good. Nothing special but it did satiate my hunger in the mornings.

Last year was the first year of four I actually went to any parties outside of the AX dance, it was a great time and I met a ton of cool likeminded autists, though I was tagging along with someone that wont be with me this year, how do you guys find the parties and drinking spots without being the guy that just asks everyone "wheres the party at bro"??

also I hope my friend doesn't hear about the rally going on this year, he is always terrified of some big event happening there for some reason.

>>9465345
How bad was the x games situation anyway? Last minute reorganization? More overcrowding?

>>9467238

>>9466858
>Orochon better than Mr. Ramen
Damn. I've never been to Mr. Ramen, but if it's better than Orochon (which was low tier compared to Daikokuya & Maruya), it must be REALLY bad.

>>9466854

Yamazaki Bakery has the chocolate cornets. I've never seen anybody

>>9467228
>I tried Shin Sen Gumi and Mr. Ramen. Is Daikokuya and Orochon any good?
Daikokuya is ridiculously popular, so prepare for even longer lines & wait times.

>>9467332
That's the one place I was talking about, but they're usually sold out before the morning ends. Their melon bread almost compensates the lack of chocolate cornets in my mouth, keyword being almost.

any umineko cosplayers? I'm probably gonna go as Bern

im looking forward of keeping my food expenses down by just keeping simple at the local 711, mcD's and subway...pretty much gives away what hotel I'm at. :D

I went last year and had a horrible time there. I don't really have any friends but managed to convince a few people to go with me. They ended up canceling and baling on me so I went alone. Half the time I was there I spent it completely lost. Most of the stuff I planed on attending/doing was changed, delayed, or canceled. It ended up just being a massive waste of time and money.

Okay we are establishing RIGHT NOW
That PINK SHIRT GUY is not invited to ANY /cgl/ events, be they pic meetups, pool parties, room parties, arcade meetups, anything AT ALL.
We are NOT going through what we went through last year again

>>9469049
what his online name? any pics of him?

>>9469093
None. I only remember people shitposting if he was real or fake. He must be a really cool dude if he's legit.

>>9469049
Story? I keep hearing to avoid him but what did he do?

>>9469108
He supposedly showed up at the meetup without cosplay in just a pink shirt and tight jeans and was by far the most attractive guy there and all the dudes were shittalking him and wouldn't let him talk to them, so he went and talked to the girls.
He allegedly took a guy's girlfriend back to his hotel room.

you just take "pink shirt guy" and create some made up story and spread it around to create a dumb meme.

lmao like this could even be enforced. PSG isn't even real for one, but if he was why do you think you'd even be able to keep me out? Stop forcing this stupid meme and get back to the matters at hand, like organizing meetups

>>9469214

Anyone from /cgl/ at the AA?

So is anyone here doing Project anime expo? We still haven't received our hotel confirmation and we booked way back in January. I asked twice and was informed that we'd receive a link but it would depend on how many others have booked. Anyone able to help? First year doing this as well as going to AX.

Sorry to disappoint, anon, but it sounds like you'll be meeting with trolls.

>>9470865
so, you wanna like some dicks?

Every fucking year I have stupid ass nightmares once it gets closer to AX. It happens like 3~ months prior to AX and it's been going on for like 10+ years. They all consist of me going to AX and having something horrible happen, such as:

>forgetting cosplays
>friends ditching me
>con turning into a garage sale
>missing important events
>having a shitty time overall

It's usually cosplay related because my outfits are always shit. I realized that it also has to do with how much I procrastinate making them. If I finish my cosplays ASAP, maybe the nightmares will stop? I never quite know what to be at AX until it draws closer due to discovering new anime so it's not like I can plan my cosplays as soon as the previous AX ends or anything. I just finished my Megumin cosplay recently because season 2 ended.

Sorry this was just kinda me whining.

>>9472024
It's the anxiety of "this happens once a year, can't mess up", makes sense.

AX posted that that artist mentioned earlier in this thread won't be in AA but I guess still a volunteer. Somehow I think they should have just kept administrative actions under wraps because now people just want to know what happened to begin with

>>9472063
Oh I read that wrong. Artist and volunteer are two different people. The volunteer has been told not to cyberbully people.

>>9472063
The artist got booted?

>>9472073
Either they withdrew voluntarily or were ejected. Just says they will not take part in AA

>>9472082
Dang. Apparently someone spamed CP somewhere. This thing is weird and confusing.

>>9472083
Both seem to have self-admitted mental issues too. It's a match made in heaven

>>9472069
and this is how pointless drama starts because the person relaying the message cant read properly.

good job, anon.

Being alone isn't what bothers me. It's having to pay the full 20 bucks for parking per day instead of splitting it with friends.

>>9472056
That makes sense. AX is kinda the only time I spend away from home and work so there's always a lot of pressure for me to make sure I have a good time.

>>9470756
Wow, what a fucking mess. Kinda sucks that the artist dropped out. I wouldn't have minded looking at whatever she brought.

I hope FAKKU gets some sort of censor at AX despite the chances of it happening being none. It was already hilarious last year when AX came up with the YPP contract last-minute on Exhibitors and AA while still having FAKKU as a major sponsor then as well.

I haven't been to AX in the last two years, but has there been adult things being displayed? Like I remember A.X. 2008 or 2009, had a booth that was selling & displaying sex toys behind a curtain & the only way to see them was to show your I.D. Has there been anything like that or similar lately?

but yeah, having to pay for parking is going to be a pain and im gonna be driving back and forth every day.

>>9472603
>Has there been anything like that or similar lately?

the fakku booth is literally just a giant box with one curtain entrance with someone who checks IDs
I never understood why people get offended or start "shaking" by shit like this. the people that complain about adult content stuff are probably the same people that drool over lewd shit from yuri on ice or bishounen stuff.

>>9472629
>the people that complain about adult content stuff are probably the same people that drool over lewd shit from yuri on ice or bishounen stuff.

No anon, that's fetishizing gay people! Cishets aren't allowed to find pretty boys attractive because that's trivialising homosexual relationships! Also you better make sure that pretty boy isn't younger than 18 because then we'll call the police on you for pedophillia!!

>>9472340
So I realize there's a 99 percent chance this guy is trolling for (You)s, but I really hope the mods don't ignore this post and at least attempt to contact police. Obviously there's not much they can do if they can't get his IP (I'm assuming he's using a proxy or something of the sort), but making sure law enforcement is notified is definitely helpful, especially since they would probably in turn contact AX so the staffers can at least be aware/tell security to be extra vigilant.

And before people tell me I'm being dramatic, let's not forget that there have been multiple confirmed cases of shooters posting about it beforehand on 4chan. You guys can meme it up all you want, but this isn't something to joke about.

>>9472593
Duration of con

>>9472645
i can hear you shaking from here

>>9472694
Exactly what I meant by saying "meme it up." You're all so afraid of being seen as un-cool by Internet strangers that you don't call out shit that obviously needs to be reported.

Edgy responses only, because that's hip! Assessing the reality of the situation? Uh oh, not cool! Not edgy! What will my Internet friends think of me?

>>9472645
I'd do it but honestly I don't know how/what to screenshot. The 4chan extension never worked properly for me so images open in separate windows so it looks weird.

I didn't realize there were day 0 things going on. I mean I knew it existed but I didn't realize it had so much to offer. It sounds like a mini AX before actual AX. It's like $20. Do you think it's worth it? Has anyone ever gone?

It's not until 6pm and I'm usually out eating dinner with my friends in Little Tokyo. But once we get back I'm usually too excited to do anything and everyone is knocking out already. While day 0 is usually our "figure shit out/get your shit together" time, I wouldn't mind stopping by at the con at like 10pm and see what's up. An extra day of AX sounds great, even though it'll be watered down.

>>9472577
Nah. I mean at first when you get into that day 0 line and you see the number of people with chairs, you think "wow what fucking weebs. Like get a life." And then as the hours tick by and your feet and legs hurt and you're sweating, you're looking at those relaxed motherfuckers with their chair and their manga and/or umbrellas and you just think "clever faggots."

In all honesty though, staff has been keeping people from sitting in chairs. It might depend on when you get there, but the line seems to only last like 2-3 hours now. They actually improved registration. I tend to get there around 10am - 11am, however. So it could just be me.

>>9472664
Eh...it's a little cringy but everyone will wish they had a chair to sit on too. It also depends on where you use it.

>>9472808
it's new this year. there should be a coupon code to knock it to $10. there's a concert and a lot of people are going to be going to that for the night.

>>9472847
Well I have shit taste so I'm not actually going to the concerts. I just wanted something extra to do during AX...before AX.

One of the main exhibitors at the front of the hall had those lewd Illya and Kuro figures prominently on a corner display.

>>9472750
whats the deal with the AX volunteer? story?

>>9473303
She objected to an artist's type of art and organised a cyber bullying campaign against said artist going as far as to even report it to the police. Ironic considering that part of the youth protection policy involves no cyber bullying.

She has been redressed by AX staff and is no longer a volunteer. She says she left on her own volition but she was actually browbeat into leaving

>>9473313
the artist was the one that basically drew porn and rape stuff, right?

still though, thats fucking stupid. whats the artists response to all of this?

>>9472645
Somehow I don't think Mr. Kitten Slippers posted a picture of himself on 4chan months in advance of some supposed plan to shoot up the con.

We're not edgy, you're just retarded.

>>9472832
I went to day 0 last year to pick up my badge and it literally took 10 minutes.
am i missing something here? were people waiting before they actually opened up the badge pickup?

even day 1 when I had to wait for my buddy to get his pass. we got there an hour before the exhibit hall opened and we probably waited like 30 minutes tops.

>>9473322
They went private on twitter and are no longer tabling at AX, though it's not clear whether AX pushed them to do so or they left willingly.

The whole thing was initially about the artist's ill-advised comments about bi people faking their bisexuality (she later apologized by saying she's not mentally well -- a somewhat weak justification but nevertheless) which made the rounds on twitter and were criticized for being biphobic... it was later that the ex-volunteer and others also latched onto her art as an issue.

>>9473342
The old days had hours long waits for badge pick up. A chair will come in handy for panel lines though.

>>9467692
Not unless you want to hang out with me, fat ange. I'm sure there will be a few here and there. You missed out on last year.

>>9473829
I don't think guns were involved at all...right? I honestly can't remember. I remember being at Little Tokyo and leaving an hour before hearing about this happening. I was like "Oh. ...neat."

>>9474226
The police shot tear gas into the store?

>>9474235
Oh, they did? Well, no one was hurt right?

>>9474247
It was likely the police wouldn't risk someone getting cut by a sword (even if it was an ornamental one) so they used gas to incapacitate him.

>>9474047
>>9474094
timewise. there was a shooting in NOVEMBER
in JULY there was a guy with a sword

>>9472257
Don't sweat it! You'll have tons of fun regardless!

>>9472231
Why don't you just park a few blocks over in a parking garage? I can usually find spots for like $6 the whole day that's a 15 minute walk from the con.

it's ok anon i know for a fact there are people carrying at AX. some are on body, some have them stored in lockboxes in their bags for legal purposes, but there's going to be more than just you

Welp. It's not like I did anything with my life so if I die AX, at least I'll die doin what I love.

Being a cancerous weeb.

>>9474450
you're more likely to catch cancer than you are to get shot so don't worry about AX

Anyone who entered the masquerade hear back yet?

is it worth my time to go to gatherings, or is it just mostly going to be ugly weirdos in bad cosplays? i'm going for the first time with weeb friends who want to go to them

>>9477181
It depends on what anime/fandom/game/whatever. If it's a really obscure and kinda "underground" anime, don't expect to see a lot of great cosplayers. If it's popular, then there'll be more people and more of a chance you'll see some great cosplays (unless the fandom is shit). Some things just always have impressive cosplays, however, like Pokemon or League of Legends.

So it all really depends on what you want to see. If you see a good amount of awesome cosplayers from a series you enjoy and know there's a gathering for it, ask them if they're going. If most of them say yes, then you know that it should be decent (or you found the only good ones in the bunch).

Just booked at the Mayfair, and I'm sure there are cheaper places to park than using the valet services. Anyone know a nearby lot or garage I could park at and walk to?

>>9466669
Food places pretty much, but it WILL be ridiculously packed and expect long wait times. Kula Sushi (revolving sushi), Curry House, Poke Express, Daikokuya, My Ramen Bar, and Shin-sen-gumi are my recommendations. Anyone who recommends Orochon Ramen has shit taste. Marukai and Nijiya also have much cheaper food options but as far as I know they either overestimate or underestimate their bento amount, the earlier the better. There are 2 matcha cafes that opened within the past year in Little Tokyo, Midori Matcha and Tea Master, but those two places are already ridiculously packed to begin with because people only go there for matcha soft serve as opposed to drinks (which IMO are much better than soft serve). There's also the Little Tokyo Galleria but that's further away from the Japanese Village Plaza/Weller Court and closer to Skid Row, but the plus side is they have a ton of parking usually.

Yamazaki Bakery is also your best bet for sweets and pastries. Marukai (which carries some Yamazaki products) and Nijiya tend to sell out very quick, not to mention Yamazaki has a larger variety.

Stores/merch-wise, Anime Jungle and Tokyo Lifestyle in the Japanese Village Plaza are your best bet. Inb4 Jungle has a booth at AX, the store actually carries more merch than the booth, and I would recommend going there if you're looking for something specific / hard to findthat you can't find at AX because it's more packed than it usually is on weekends. Tokyo Lifestyle has some pretty nifty stuff, but it's hit or miss as some items are either cheaper or more expensive than the Exhibit Hall. AVOID Kimono Ya in Weller Court (1st floor near Marukai) because their merch is comprised of mainly bootlegs / fakes, unless that doesn't bother you. There's a reason locals refer to it as "that bootleg anime store" or "Bootleg Anime Jungle."

>>9466722
Arthur Nakane is a goddamn legend, he's loved by locals and visitors. There was a documentary about him and he was on America's Got Talent a few years back but he injured himself about 4 years ago so his one-man band act is pretty limited. No guarantee he'll be there during AX weekend, I hear he splits his time in Santa Monica. He's a really sweet guy though and sets up in the Japanese Village Plaza in front of Nijiya / Yamazaki Bakery.

>>9466858
Orochon is by far the worst ramen in Little Tokyo. Their broth is bland as fuck and the noodles taste like they ran down to Marukai to get them and didn't bother cooking them properly. I'd recommend Mr. Ramen over Orochon in a heartbeat.

>>9473829
There wasn't a shooting, just some mentally unstable dude who went into a gift shop in the Village Plaza, and took someone hostage with a sword. They shut down that entire block on Day 3 I think, I used to work in the area and my coworkers were right where it happened.

Parkopedia. Prepay online is usually cheaper than their posted rates. You may or may not have an attendant so park at your own risk

As a Downtown LA native man I suggest you look into seeing if you can score an Uber flat rate package, the thing is they are a fucking pain in the ass to get but once you get one holy shit are they useful for moving around LA cheap

You can go anywhere in the General LA area for a flat $3 for a pool and $6 flat for an UberX ride from Downtown LA to Santa Monica/West Covina/ Almost Disneyland/ with up to 2-4 people for $3/6

For AX that shit for me is a godsend since instead of buying food onsite, I got the option of heading out from the Con and getting back for $6 or since im going with a group just giving the cash to one guy and have him bring the food back to us.

Parking is gonna be a pain, cost more than the uber ride, plus if I wanna drink its an option as opposed to hoping I got a DD or risk driving my ass home.

Plus seeing how alot of folk on here are out of towners it's more user friendly than trying to figure out which taxi's are legit and dealing with renting a car.

ABC Seafood in Chinatown - They got a full sized plate of Rice/Chowmein + 2 Sides for $5 flat


El Taurino near MacArthur Park - Fucking tasty ass burritos and tacos, for $6 and $1.25 each, drinks are a pain since you have to pay per-refill and the starting price for a small drink I think is like $2, PROTIP: Get the Red salsa, green salsa is for kids and the elderly

Not far from the Convention Center via an Uber and the food is cheap and good

>>9478076
I live in East LA and there's some pretty good stuff out here if you're willing to drive that way. Chroni's on Whittier has some bretty gud chili cheese dogs and fries if you feel like pigging out, there's also this place near Beverly and Atlantic called Fish Taco Express that has some really good shrimp/fish burritos. If you want something more like an actual restaurant, Clifton's on Broadway is good, so are some of the places in Grand Central Market on Broadway

How to get flat rate beta invite? I have a group of 6 that would find that a godsend

>tfw the poorfag of your group forces you to book a shitty hotel because he can't afford anything over $250

Every damn year.

>>9480966
Then either spot him or stop hanging out with him.

>>9480966
>not forcing him to get his own hotel room with his own poorfag standards

>>9481128
>>9481393
Yeah, I'm gonna have to start doing that. We've been going as a group and rooming for years just to be around each other and have fun. But if his preferences in the hotel effect the whole group then there's no point. I mean we still have AX so..

Good one, Marvin. Personally I've always liked this RPD uni one from Outbreak.

>>9480966
mebe coulda agree to let him do some "work" to make the difference to stay at a better hotel...bag boy, food runner, etc...

>>9481832
He has like 2 jobs but is saving up for his own place. I don't know if that means he has a set amount he refuses to touch or he's paying so many bills that spending X amount at AX would put him in the deficit.

Right after this AX ends, I'm going to book a decent hotel that I can afford and if anyone wants to join, they can. None of us want to room alone but god dammit I'll room with strangers at this point.

That was my original plan this year since at first only he and I could go out of all my friends, but now more tagged along and I ended up having to try to accommodate several people.

I dunno. Just chalk it up to me being a cuck.

>>9481832
Ah, I misread your post. Well he IS the driver so there's that. Nobody else wants to drive to/in LA. Fuck that.

So Day 1 lands on a Saturday...

I'm too broke to attend all 4 days now that it's jacked up and i spent all my money on weed only to have enough to buy 2 articles of cute shit.


Saturday or Sunday......hmm. Any suggestions?

>he didnt buy the 4 day pass during black friday

it was like $50. serves you right dumb weedfag.

>>9482911

>Actually buying the 4 Days pass

I just came back from Comic Con and i pay rent.

You assume I'm some sort of NEET that has time for all 4 days, so that greasy fedorafags like you with expensive DSLRs can look and breath down my neck all damn day.

Aside from aiding with anxiety, making Anisong World Matsuri x10000 more fun w/ friends, you forget it's also LA shitlord.

>>9482927

You also forget it's California.

Smoke me out senpai

>>9482911
>tfw got the black friday price + a decent Kawaii concert seat, but no hotel plan

>>9482927
The price of a one day ticket will be almost as much as the 4 day from black Friday.

>>9483207

I've come to terms with that. I just want to go to see all my friends working the Artists Alley this year, I do more Comic Cons than Anime ones desu.

>>9482933

I'm offering a free room and herb for girls that are at least a 5/10. No sweaty neckroll girls pls

Where to smash...

>>9483446
If you're ugly then there is no hope for you regardless.

>>9480009
This

Also, just head into MacArthur park, shits dirty but there is some great artery clogging street food on sale for cheap.

couldn't get a room for the AX hotel block so ended up booking at the Miyako. how hard is it to sneak 1 or 2 people into your room for two nights? this is my first time getting a hotel so i'm sorry if this seems extremely dumb. and before you ask no i'm not room stuffing, there were only 2 of us to begin with in the room.

>>9483624
Why would you need to sneak people in? The hotel allows 2 guests per room. And Miyako is hard to sneak in people since their lobby is literally the size of a studio and the front door is right there.

>>9483633
there are only 2 people booked to the room and 2 more people are planning on staying with me for 2 nights. so it'll be 4 people in the room total. the room has 2 beds so it's not like it won't work but the problem lies in the fact that the other two are not booked to the room.

>>9483651
Then I would sneak them in really late, that hotel is notorious for being difficult

>>9480009
Tacos are more expensive now. It's cheaper to buy tacos at the new Mexican place on 7th and Alvarado

>Bought tickets to both Anisong concerts
>Asian Kung Fu Generation concert just announced
>Tickets go on sale on the 23rd

FFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>9484142
I am so fucking angry. I really want to go but I've committed myself to working that very night on some other event. Commitments suck ass but gotta build that credibility. That other thing better go well or else I'm going to regret not going to my dream concert and be miserable the whole damn time.

Have fun, everyone else and I hope that they will come back to play and I can go.

>>9484251
I'm very dishearten to see that its a whole different and disconnected venue and event. They must not have been able to work out a deal or it just wasnt possible for them or in the cards at the start to be a part of anisong.

This is just like when X Japan came to play at the same time as AX a few years back. Last minute and fighting for same audience.

>>9484256
You do realize non-Anime fans like music too?

>>9484258
Yes my bad, I think I mean audience that's like the lowest hanging fruit.

>>9484266
The problem with Anisong is look at tickets sold and price of tickets vs the sheer number of artists performing, and consider cost of each artist travel and everything. Very little profit sadly at AX for them.

>>9484274
Exactly. I cant even justify it to myself to be irrationally angry at anyone other than the situation that theres logical and business reasons behind these decisions.

I guess i have to settle for being happy that I will be in the same city as them and for the friends and fans that can go and will.

>>9475611
I think its filled.

>Buying food within DTLA's Gentrification Zone in general

>>9473383
I'm pretty down to meet up, actually

are ppl who do room shares scalpers..been seeing some wack prices from the even split (and person inflates the cost - double) to just requesting x amt (where 3 ppl pays of the room/ any addl is profit)

>>9484413
Not all of them are scalpers but some definitely try to work things to their advantage.

>>9484256
Teragram isn't that far away. The hotels are actually farther from the LACC than the concert venue will be. With AX's event timeslots being consumed by Day 0 Anisong, Day 1 Anisong, Day 2 EDM, Day 3 Masq (lol) there's not much leeway to work with anyway. The tickets are cheap too.

>>9484429
>some definitely try to work things to their advantage.
I worked with someone in the past whom bragged that she was able to rent out this home for about 1600/month then she went off and listed the spare rooms as studios at 800ea (believe she had 3 or 4 ppl). Think she got caught/busted or something cuz after several months she suddenly quit and left the state lol.

>>9484450
One of my co-workers lived with a guy doing that. Used their rent to subsidize his. They eventually all moved out because he was a terrible person though

does anyone know what the deposit fee is for the LA hotel downtown? i want to add it in the total cost since i have 4 people staying with me

Just decided that I'll be going to AX which is perfect timing since they just announced the Asian Kung Fu Generation concert (not missing out in that!!). Not going the whole time, flying in on the 2nd for the AKFG concert then going to AX the last 2 days which is plenty for me. RIP to all the people who bought Anisong tickets for the 2nd, hopefully if the concert goes all AKFG will come back

>>9485000
*Goes well

>>9485000
Anisong does not conflict with Asian kung fu generation. It's on the second. Neon alley is that night.

>>9485068
No, I'm pretty sure Neon Alley is on the 3rd unless they changed it

I'd rather have only the Buddhists allowed nearby. They don't force shit down your throat or in your face, they just chill, let you choose to pick up a pamphlet, and chat.
The other assholes can learn from them.

>>9483624
we stay at the miyako every year (we love being next to LT) it's not difficult at all, just walk on in casually and nobody cares or says anything.
It's only when you check in that you should have the same amount of people you booked the room for.
For us (since we usually have 5) The two who booked it under their name go in first (2), then the rest of us (3) just go to the room 5ish minutes later, guess it looks less suspicious if its not a big group going up all at once?

Although sometimes we all sort of do just go down altogether as a group but again nobody says anything, Miyakos p chill for being so small
