So far nothing to shed tears over but it's definitely been a constant pattern.

Going to try to get a full 8 of sleep and get to the con early tomorrow. About what time do you think people start really flooding in?

Daily reminder to SHOWER DAILY!

Take a good sniff at yourself.
Since you naturally filter out your own body odor, take a good sniff at your tshirt, preferably your underarms.
If you can smell any odor at all, even slightly, people around you can smell it 10x more than you.
Also, don't attempt to cover it up with deoderant, now you smell like sweat and deoderant.
You don't have to use shampoo, just take a 5 minute once-over with a bar of soap, it'll keep you from smelling awful.

Been hearing rumors AX has gonna full censorship police for 18+ content at exhibitors this year. Anyone else heard this?

Hey, this is for the thirsty men on here:

How does it feel knowing that while you tried your hardest today and couldn't find anyone, I ended up fucking a seagull? I even told her that I didn't like anime and manga, and she still got in bed. (after giving me recommendations) So stop coming to these cons and think that you're gonna find some qt /cgl/ gf when guys like me are a dime a dozen, here.

It was fun, W. Don't talk about your pharm school plans too much, and your art's not that good.

Why don't you go and try to have some fun? Fuck, sit in the dark rooms and watch some new anime and have yourself a good cry while a magical girl sits to your left and a furry sits to your right. Go the comedy AMV showing. See some mega dorks dress up and eat some pokey. That sounds a lot better than making a quick 100 bucks for something you've already paid for. Plus NOT going isn't going to make you feel better.

They usually have posters for sale you can buy for them to sign.

I hope so, guess I'll have a dig around the dealers room. I feel like an idiot for not checking now. I'm used to it where they sell you something to sign as you said.

Is the guest you're after part of AX or an industry invite? Crunchy's doing this weird thing where they're only allowed to sign from a specific series (i.e., the YoI guests are only allowed to sign/draw on YoI merch despite having worked on other titles),

>>9540174
>weird thing
You mean profitable thing.
You know exactly why they're doing it.

>>9540174

Both. Yoh Yoshinari is industry but I'm going to drop my their booth tomorrow to find out what the deal is there. Then there's a bunch of animators which are AX guests.

>>9540176
I guess? But I'd assume 90% of the YoI audience don't know/give a shit about their other series so they probably already have YoI merch on hand anyway.

Yo, West Covina bro.

It takes about 50 minutes to get from the Covina Station Metrolink to LA Union Station. Here's this weekend's schedule, I found it on the Metrolink website.

As for pricing, I believe it's about 16 dollars for round trip, which is a little cheaper than parking and going through traffic but keep in mind you may need an Uber/Lyft to actually get to the convention center which can cost about 10 dollars more each day.

Good luck with your travel!

What time would you guys recommend getting to the convention center for badge pickup if we want to get into the exhibition hall when it opens at 10 am?

You guys were right

Nothing but creeps and uggos at the meetup. The female only (with some guys) after party saved it tho

No, I wanted to film but no one else was so I thought I would be looked down of for it.

It doesn't even feel like a decade. I can't even point out memorable moments from each year. What the fuck have I been doing?

Now that it's over, whose bright idea was it to put one of the major events on Day 0?

>>9540266

Sunday, it's the best time to actually do things since Day 1 is a litetal clusterfuck, and Monday is....well it's Monday.

That picture was the meetup? Because I walked past you guys multiple times like an idiot.

>>9540283
I would go Sunday if I could but I have other plans I can't cancel.>>9540283

How long are the lines to get in usually? This is my first time, and I already have my badge. I want to get the most out of Day 1, and I don't want to waste time outside in a line when I could have arrived earlier..

Do the single day passes actually ever sell out?

I use those bags to stash muh dirty laundry..anything heavy or hard edged will tear that bag in short time.

>>9540286
it opens at 10 and theres going to be a SHITTON of people but its not like youre gonna have to wait like hours just to get in if thats what youre thinking.

>>9540215
Was able to check-in early at intercontinental around 8a..came in on a 6am flight. Thank God I dropped like a rock once I walked into the room. Doesn't hurt to try! Usually 50/50 chance a hotel will be able to get u in early so do it.

Is the final fantasy bag gonna be fine for carrying things or am I gonna need a different bag

so when are the jealous shitposters gonna start posting about how "cringy" and terrible cgl meet ups are?

if im not able to check in eaely im planning to bring my luggage into the con and use that bag check. will i die at the bag inspection?

Does anyone remember last year's clusterfuck of a line to get into the actual building. I remember standing in that line for 2 hrs trying to get into the main entrance. The line kept getting cut. Whats the best entrance to get into the convention hall?

What time do premier badge holders get in the exhibit hall?

>>9540380
9

>>9540036
Boots. Anything else is for faggots without real jobs.

>>9540374
It would be extremely painful

>>9540227
Take blue line to con it's cheaper than uber. Like 6 bucks.

>>9540375
The back side. That's where I always line up at. Or the side entrance next to staples center

Street closures around the convention center are gonna be traffic hell for anyone not already here

>>9540375
I remember some trick where you go upstairs and sneak in on the 2nd floor but I dunno if you can still do that.
Otherwise just cut in line like everyone else does, it's not worth waiting hours to just get into the goddamn building.

I wish I were there this year. Maybe next year.

Was someone really yelling at vendors yesterday about smut?

That's per-guest right? It's confusingly written.

Has anime expo gotten too big for it's own good?

>>9540440
In 5 minutes

Hmmmm maybe I should've picked up my badge yesterday

>>9540442
Has been for a while.

Unless you get a premier ticket, its basically linecon.

are their gonna be drunk/high people again this year

>still on the bus
how bad is the line?

>>9540455
Awful

Did they get a bunch of power hungry retards as con staff again?

>>9540449
Yes you should have. You'd be retarded not to if you had the chance.

Do things sell out today normally? I want to get some exclusives but can't make it today, talking about the Good Smile Booth in particular. I can make it tomorrow, is more crowded in the morning or the afternoon?

I assume that tomorrow afternoon badge pick-up won't be terrible.

>>9540374
Most hotels can hold baggage for you. Might be a better option.

can someone post some pics of neat cosplay

>>9540227
omg thank you so much anon!

Linecon returns

Anyone at the back entrance near the entertainment hall?

If you're not in line to pick up your badge right now it's gonna be maybe a 3 hour wait. Line is huge

>>9540514
Nah. It's pretty much as big as last year and it's an hour wait tops

>code vein panel just added
>It's in 30 mins
why

>>9540514
why do people say this?
maybe that was true like 5 years ago, but they make the line super fast these days.

>>9540474
That really old couple in the pic, that will be me and mai waifu wait in the future!

>>9540531

>>9540538

I really regret not going. Have fun everyone. Time to wait for the badges to on sale again. Do I go for regular 4-day or premiere badges? I like industry panels, autos, and the anisong concerts.

>>9540546
Oh, but I thought it was just a lie and that it's an hour tops??

>>9540548

>>9540571
its way worse than it was an hour ago, youre looking at an at least 3 hour line

>>9540570
I wouldn't brush it off so quickly. If what >>9540554 said is true, I'd bring this up to an authority just in case. >>9540557 could be just trolling but you never know.

>>9540571
Welcome to linecon

>>9540573
its a meme you dip

Line is starting to form near parking structure. It curves around multiple times. Like at least 3 tents worth.

>>9540571
AX is always lines at all times

I've seen two exhibitors selling metal prop weapons

I thought those were banned?

I've been in line for about two hours and it's gotten way longer since then. There are a lot of cutters too.

>nothing but uggos and creeps at the meetup

Every fucking year

>>9540582
Well you attend every year so what do you expect?

>AX in charge of crowd control

>>9540584
if they have to cut panels short becaude they cant manage lines again like last year Ill be pissed

What the fuck is happening with the line at the intersection REEEEE

Who's still in the badge pickup line? How long have you been there?

>>9540600

New year, new adventures.

Right now it's the responsibility of fellow anons and femanons to make the party happen.

Has anyone found a booth with a nico plushie

It took 2 and a half hours to get my badge and now its probably going to take another 2 hours just to get into the building

Mah oldfags. We should get together and reminisce how things went wrong.

Is it possible to do badge swapping to get in without a badge? At this point I might as well just pick up mine tomorrow and do cosplay suit in the entertainment hall by taking a friend's badge in and giving it back to them.

>>9540582
which one are you?

What the fuck is this line?

>>9540604
It took me two hours, but that was when the line "only" wrapped around 9 timed.
>>9540627
It's super easy. They don't check at all. I get in every year on days I don't have badges for.

>>9540600
Yes, and bigger than last night

>>9540600
We're planning one but it's gonna be female only, due to creeps from last night.

It's in the walkway area between the exhibit hall and the West hall.

The drinks are extremely overpriced though.

True. Oh so true.

When to line up for Cardcaptor sakura?

>>9540687
The answer is always two hours in advance at minimum.

>>9540689
Even with premier?

>>9540691
>Having premier

Can premier passes cut the line or what

>people are freaking out over a dub at sentai

where can I park?

then wait in line for next hour

>>9540696
Not so much a matter of where but when.

Yeah, I came late too.

The line clusterfuck is always fantastic

>>9540701
All cons have a lifespan, early days it's super cliquey and lame at same time because lame guests, as con gets popular better guests, better floor. Then it gets too crowded, too many normies, too many lines, but still great niche panels. <-Ax is between these two-->Then it gets taken over by corporate PRs, every other panel feels like a commercial, loses the hobby niche feel. <-- this is where comiccon is.
I haven't been to comiccon for years but I remember they didn't clear rooms, so if there was a meme panel (like Simpsons) the room would be camped out from 8am, which meant there were a bunch of panels where 80% of the people in the room didn't care about the panel, would talk over it amoumst themselves, etc.
Some of the booths at comiccon, you have to line up in the morning, just to get a ticket to come back and line up at another time to to shop. AX will be like that in a few years

Any rave / EDM gulls out there?

Just cut in line, it took me 5 minutes to get in that way and nobody said anything.
Getting out was a clusterfuck though, next time I'll try and exit through west hall.

Don't forget this and please put in next thread's OP:
Meet up at 9pm every day just outside of west hall.
Girls only meet at 8:30 pm same place

Fuck yea I went to the Altus, goodsmile, and got a ticket for yoh yoshinari.

They can't monitor every entrance. The doors up the stairs are usually unguarded.

I keep hearing that they ARE emptying out LP2 even tho they weren't supposed to. I've been standing in lines for hours I just want to go to the YOI panel

and I haven't even been in the main hall yet

be sure to take lots of pictures so I can live vicariouly through you later pls

Do you think the lines will go away later? I'm thinking of heading back around 7 for some late panels but I don't want to fight my way through that bullshit again.

Well check where the lines are for the events you want. Some can be accessed without entering the convention center so there is no need to go through the hassle.
