We're once again approaching the time for AWA. Anyone here going? Any interesting cosplays you're working on? Will there be a /cgl/ meetup? Dates are December 18th through December 21st, 2025, located at the Georgia World Congress Center, Building C.
>>10966119Nobody wants to see fat girls with stretch marks and dumpy asses roaming the halls barely clothed, and you know very well that's what most of the bitches getting stripped down are
>>10966206speak for yourself i love fat bitches
>>10966208Blerd hands typed this post
>>10966206Nah, the commoditization of anime fandoms has made it so ethots and tourist sluts roam plenty. But there were always some hot actual nerdy girls around in cute outfits. I know zoomers haven't been to many cons, but it's okay if people are allowed to show a little more skin.Sadly I see many of the young dudes practicing their shariah law and wanting women to cover those ankles up.
>>10966117Yeah I had a group but most of them took the suits off after a few hours. >>10966122nya? Either way you were at the Signia lobby so ball knowledge. >>10966144lol that's pretty funny
What cons did you attend? Which were the best ones?Which one was the worst?who did you meet? what cosplays ended up being flashes in the pan,etc. whatever stood out in 2025, post it here
>>10966233buenos aires anon, generally tried to attend the Yukai Fest, Jigoku, and stayed out of big conventions (Ani-con, argentina comic-con)>bestTeyvat Market (Genshin impact themed con)>worstRetro Market in decemberthere was practically fucking nothing to compensate for the heat, but I bet Emilio and the other gaming chucklefucks that were invited were not just there for the hot dogs and soda. I dunno, I just feel like the priority went to making "famous" online personalities happy instead of actually having something outside of just a bunch of retro junk being sold in stands.regarding the OP image, oddly enough, I feel like I hardly saw any Marin cosplays this year. Lots of Genshin Impact cosplays, though. Winter continues to be iffy. Oh, and a bunch of people got shitcanned (actual pedos being outed) during february, that was fun. You'd hardly notice it if you stayed out of instagram and just kept going.
>local anime con in France twice (it was a waste of time because it almost only attracts normies)>local retro game event that was pretty nice but my friend didn't want to stay for very long and was doing retarded shit that could have gotten us in trouble with organizers like changing the settings of the old TV sets and making them unusable>yaoi and yuri con twice, once in my city and the other time in Paris which was good overall>doujinshi event in Tokyo in June or July which was really good. I think the yaoi and yuri con would have been better if you removed the yuri part because after the events, yurifags who started to watch anime during the 2020 lockdown and who think the green yuri manga and Arcane are masterpices were trying to start shit with organizers online for some made up reasons and they admitted that they're jealous that the yaoi part of the con attracted way more people as usual.Now I'm not sure what to do in 2026. I'm mostly interested in artist alleys, so I thought I should maybe take a break and save money, and to just stick to what artists post online. And on top of that I keep hearing about how Dokomi is better than Japan Expo these days when it comes to their respective artist alleys but I don't think the timing is right for me to go anywhere in June. On the other hand I'm seriously considering quitting my job after a specific date and traveling to several Asian countries until I get sick of it so maybe I could try to go to more Comic City events in Japan later this year. I heard Korean cons tend to focus more on merchs than doujinshi/fanzines, it shouldn't be a big issue if I don't understand Korean in that case. I also need to check cons in Australia, I plan to visit someone in Sidney in a few months.
>>10966235bs as here toostarted cosplaying this year despite being old as fuckI have never gone to either comic con or anicon, is there any reason you staying out of them?I have been going mostly to fuwa fuwa con, but its too full of people (more like the venue is too small) and the cosplay contest fills up super fastyukai fest is held in the same venue but with far less people, for some reason (theyre both organized by the same people)I have gone to a few other small events, but decided Im no longer going to non-vocaloid/pjsk centric events anymore, because I mostly cosplay a pjsk character and it kinda sucks when people dont know who it isas for the cosplaying itself, I bought a bunch costumes, made some pieces, and learned a bit about makeup and mostly about wig styling, my wigs sure look a lot better nowI have also won some places in contests (only 3rd and 2nd so far) I doubt I'll ever make it to first place unless I use a mask, but I dont want to be a mask cuck. I dont actually care, this all started because I started learning vocaloid choreos to do cardio and then thought I could try dancing in the contests for shit and giggles. the prizes are shit anyway, even when its actual cash, its very little, and most times its cringe merchnow I have to convince my bf to cosplay with me
>>10966312>I have never gone to either comic con or anicon, is there any reason you staying out of them?Yeah, it's personal reasons (locations, college stuff, etc). I went to one anicon when it was still called animecon, it was ok. Funny thing is that I got the ticket at the door and there was no line. Satuday iirc. Hopefully it's still like that but I doubt it.>comic conNot into comics and I hear that the variety of cosplays is lower there.>aniconmight go in april 2026, the location is more convenient than other times.

>>10964221What kind of guys do you like miss? I need an excuse to improve myself
>>10966220Thank you, here is the second picture of it (most pics of it had my face so)>>10966240Physical or personality wise?I like cute subby boys that take care of themselves who aren't needy and are able to hold conversation
>>10966260>cute subby boys that take care of themselves who aren't needy and are able to hold conversationSo, that disqualifies 99% on 4chan
How do you feel about China banning everything from Japan?
>>10966212Extremely based
>>10966212destroy all canadians
>>10966221Hey, wut did we ever do to you?
>>10966223you keep stressing me out every year during playoffs making me think this might be the time the canadians steal slanley's cup
>>10966151Not my problem
This is for the older con goers. How does it feel to go to cons? Do you feel out of place? What is the average age at cons do you feel, and when do you feel like you've aged out of the con scene? I'm early 30s myself and I'm starting to notice the age difference, and have been interacting with people a lot less at cons
>>10964739There was that old guy doing BarbenHeimer at Katsucon a few years ago. Maybe one day i'll be cool enough to be that guy. Probably not.
>>10966093I think you're a pedophile
>>10966108NTA Impossible, zoomers don't socialize IRL thus it is nearly impossible there will be underage b& at the con.This is an irrefutable fact.
>>10959877A post that hits close to home! And a problem I was not able to think though untill just recently coming back from Holiday Matsuri. So much so, I declared that I was sure this was the last con I was going too, that I had grown out of it. The space was way too crowded with Netflix warriors, they are all the same con just in different places ect. But luckily I had an amazing time, and it changed my perspective on alot. I'm 29 and have been con going since I was 14. I've met aton of people at cons and I've met up with people from MMO's and other online shit at cons. Made and lost friends. But good memories all things considered. And to just out right answer your question, too old is when you are dead imo. Enjoy yourself always, if you're struggling with finding people to conversate with one thing I noticed that gives me good hit rates for conversations are panels, especially on things I like a lot, Monster hunter, MMO's, "con survival guides". And what I'll do is once the panel ends generally there are a few people still lingering around spark up something with them. Or the panelist, generally people are a HELL OF A LOT more talkative at this point seeing out you both just sat through hour of listening to someone rambling, so the topic is pretty much already set just kinda add your view on it.
>be me>35 yo>cosplaying a character from a phone game thats like half my age>zero fucks given>40 something yo woman wants a picture with me>she knows the name of the character>she is with her two teen children>she looks very happy>the kids are kinda cringinglmao, nobody gives a flying fuck
im flat and have short black hair like rukia. kinda short too. so maybe choosing rukia as my first cosplay would be great. i like orihime but i look like rukia more. should i post my cosplay if i ever do it?
>>10965746first of all, hell no and second of all, i want context
>>10965744You should cosplay Rukia and then I should cosplay Ichigo (6'0" btw) and then we should kiss!!!!!
>>10965850no way im a proud ichihime shipper
>>10966270Are you a cuck?
Yes. Cosplay rukia, or the cosplay gremlin will crawl out from under your bed and eat your liver.
Are genshin cosplays dead at conventions? Does anyone care about genshin cosplays these days or is it dead like attack on titan cosplays? I feel like genshin cosplays, well actually specifically hoyo cosplays dont get any recognition or attention at conventions anymore.
>>10961491
>why isn't this gambling game popular anymore?other slot machines like Honkai star rail and ZZZ and other shit subhumans play opened up
>>10962203update from samefag: absolutely not lmaowe have a genshin impact themed con where I live. It's once a year.
>>10961491As long as aliexpress lives, hoyoshit and 2Bs will always be there.
I've never cosplayed before, but how exactly would I go about making this outfit? I have a sewing machine from my mom but that's about it.
it doesn't look like you'll need to sew anything just get the clothes individually like a grey button up and black slacks and im sure theres a place for boots and cloaks and stuff
Note this thread is for the kind of self improvement Jiraimaxxing like tips and tutorials on makeup, hair and coord styling etc, not the loser social media bully kind of Jiraimaxxing. Post all of your tips or ask questions on how to improve your look.
Texas thread died about a week ago or so... RIP, not OP of the previous Texas thread but the anon that had revived it briefly in October. Meant to revive it again this month in-time for it to reach 1-year-plus status, but had totally slipped my mind and was already too late by the time I had noticed... oh well, let's try this 1-year challenge all over again, shall we?UPCOMING NOTABLE EVENTS (for the next six months):Anime Frontier - Dec 12-14Ecchi Expo - Dec 12-14Ikkicon - Jan 9-11Ushicon / Komoricon - Feb 6-8 (both in Austin, Komoricon happening on Feb 7 only)AnimeVerse Houston - Feb 13-15WeebCon - Apr 3-5Anime Dallas - Apr 17-19Otaku Odyssey - May 8-10Riverwalk Anime - May 23-24A-Kon - Press X to Doubt (World Cup will be in town during Jun-Jul)Discuss topics about Texas cons here, including ones that have have happened recently such as Anime Impulse Dallas.
>>10966161That’s a shame, but yeah /cgl/ and most of 4chan has been in decline for a while. I just figured since there is an active Florida discord there would be one for other states.
iss texas worth visiting for cons
>>10966227Worth it for at least San Japan, Colossalcon Texas, and maybe Frontier. We have a lot of mid- to shit-tier cons here, ymmv on those
>>10966236how about tsumicon and ecchi expo?
>>10966238>TsumiconNever been so can't tell ya much about it>Ecchi ExpoI attended the very first one back in 2021... and never again. Even if the recent ones were good, the company behind it, Fandom Events, is a sinking ship it looks like with a few of their cons being cancelled in this past year alone. They're also facing corruption allegations, mostly directed at the con owner. This one's one to watch to see if they're happening anymore, alongside their other events.
Month early editionDecember 19 - 21, 2025 Hyatt Regency O'Hare9300 Bryn Mawr AveRosemont, IL 60018 Will we see our regulars at this calm and near barren con? A far 2nd place from Anime Zap with sub 100 attendees. CAD still gets its activity and a reason to do something in December, the festive season.
>>10965718Simo Häyhä Was there

What are your rare, unconventional or unpopular opinions in lolita fashion? I don’t like when girls wear gold tea parties in coords that have no gold in them, I see this particularly in sweet lolita and it gives off the same vibe as when itas wear white blouses with dresses that have no white in them, it just ruins the coord. Pic unrelated.
>>10966049madly jealous comment
>>10966105Public transport and carpooling exist, Nona.
>>10966107>points out that poorfags shouldn't get pets or kids>gets called jealousnever change cgl.
- dresses made in china or with that chinese fashion inspired dress does not fit lolita fashion at all - too high platorms- invovling non fitting lolita accessories in the coord - ppl who say lolita isnt expensive when it is - non styled/crimped wigs, looks cheap - too much fondation idrk how to explain it - "wrong" looking poses in photoshoots
>>10966178the enemy is both too rich to be helped and too poor to deserve help
>bf says he’ll take me to a lolita fashion store >ask if it is a sweet lolita, classic lolita or gothic lolita fashion store>he laughs and says it’s a nice store>go with bf>it’s kawaii fashion
>>10960115yeah!
why do you let this subhuman bump this bait thread eternally?do something you fucking faggot
>>10920890holy fucking simp
>>10920890kill yourself you indian faggot
>>10920890>The only exception to all of this is if he buys cringey materialistic consoomer shit for himself that's as expensive as your hobby.whatif you dont like eachothers hobbies maybe you should reconsider having a relationshipdont get me wrong I would be a bit weirded out by somebody spending half their salary on funkopops but if it is not out of control I dont see any reason to judge it over spending money on other stuff
ITT: We post pictures of cosplay from the 90's or early 2000's.
