Truly dead.The ony thing that sustains this thread is drama.
I want to go to AnimeCon Birmingham in June. Last year was the first time it was held and it was pretty good. The friend I usually go to cons with cant go though and I don’t think I’d enjoy it if I went alone
I’m excited for koko next week!
>>10906179>just nabbed off another websitethis one?https://animecons.com/events/schedule.php?year=2024&loc=ukI'm going to liverpool comic con in may, most of the cast of red dwarf are going to be there and the hobbits! not that i go for the famous names but it's kinda fun to glimpse actors in real life. might bring some other anons, don't know if the other lads can make it though.
>>10906595Yeah. Years ago I would have just known, now not so much. I met Chris Barry from red dwarf at one of those comic cons.
>>10906179MCM London 2024 24-26 MayHYPER JAPAN Festival 2024 July 19-21The two I'm going to were missing. Considering AnimeCon Birmingham. I know, I'm a basic bitch. Two cosplays planned.
>>10906654have you been to a con in london before?i have not but i hear they are too busy to really do anything/talk to anyone. also hotels and prices in london are appalling. I had more fun at my last two cons which were really small and cost, i think, £20 and £7, than i have had at any other. First thing that happened when i went into the £7 one was someone gave me a nazi salute lmao had a really nice time there, met a wide range of people including one older guy who really knew his stuff anime-wise.
>>10906714Honestly i personally find big cons a little more relaxing in a strange way, just go with a couple of friends, enjoy a day wondering around looking at overpriced crap and just be another body in a huge mass of other humans.The smaller cons i find kinda bad for my anxiety as theres a lot of social pressure, most people already know each other, and i find cliques are constantly splitting and reforming, and i don't keep up enough with the social dynamics to know what drama is going on currently. But theres a lot of people on the opposite end of the spectrum who hate being just a rando in a crowd and love being one of those 300 or so people everyone there knows.
>>10906592same
>>10906776Being in a big crowd and realising no-one cares about you specifically can be kinda freeing if you have social anxiety.
Anyone going to the Manchester con in 2 weeks?Wouldn't mind having some people to say hi to
>>10906974I was going to but my face is still too busted
>>10906591I'd probably like to go, don't have anyone to go with. Are you a nice anon?
I hate how my closest cons are in London. I hate London so much and I always have the autism around a lot of people. I can't even drag anyone I know to one. Are all London cons that crowded?
>>10907304kupocon wasn't too busy at least compared to the really big ones but stilled filled out a hotel conference hall in terms of numbers.
>>10907005What happened anon.
>>10907389Got myself a glow up. Not gonna parade in a con with a black eye and swollen lower face doe.
>>10907304MegaCon and EGX aren't nearly as busy as MCM
fuck togs, stomp on togs, stir fry togs, etc
>>10907642 What did togs do to you? Spill!
>all hotels for MCM london on my charge 720-800 for 3 days>travelodge does flexible for 480 for 3 daysGuess we're using a poorfag hotel this year.
>>10907903October event I mean
kokoro good
>>10907965Is everyone in the UK that fat?
>>10907968Average woman is 71kg apparently. So likely.
>>10907965huh, i always put off going to cons because i thought everyone else there looked like instagram cosplayers or the ones they put in their press material.
Had a bloomin amazing time at kokoro this weekend!
>>10907965holy shittttafter all the crap we get about being amerifats look at this shit!!!!
>>10908064UK con attendees do seem to run fatter and more disabled than average. Dunno why though.
>>10908085Anon, you can't convince me anyone in that room could break out into a light jog, let alone run.
>>10907903So poorfag hotel and also poorfag pub by the said poorfag hotel after leaving the MCM merchant halls?
>>10908216Na fuck that place.
>>10906176For excel veterans here. Is premier inn or hampton hilton better?They cost the same but hilton has free brekkie
Recently found out about animecon Brum. What the fuck is this. Why do my eyes hurt. Holy shit. It's so bright.
>>10909110The website layout or the cosplayers?
>>10909124Their website is so glaring I never even realised the cosplayers.
>>10909110Are they sponsored by maccies?
>>10909110Comiccon wannabe. Last two events have been pretty empty. Rather go to MegaCon
>>10909291they get better guests than Megacon
>>10909291Why would you want to be like Comic con? Honestly comicon has been pretty shit
come to sunnycon
What did you think of Manchester Anime con just gone?first con in many years for me. made a friendgroup and spent the day+evening with them. Quite a fun time, though I felt some of the panels weren't to my taste
>>10909571too many kids, which is worrying
>>10909572Thats literally the main demographic for anime, anon. Were just old and decrepit unfortunately.
I heard Kokoro con had some drama any news?
>>10909774Committee had a falling out. Kita has severed all ties to Kokoro. I don't know the details.
>>10909838Got any source on that?
>>10909838lol, kita can get fucked
>>10909838Sounds pretty childish on both sides. >>10909849Why do you want Kitacon to get fucked ?
Secretcon? More like SECRET NO CON.What con clashed with it?
>>10910067Insomnia
Thinking of going to animangapop
>>10909838Calling bullshit. People have been trying to create drama between Kita and Kokoro for years
>>10910191and it's always members of kitacon and kokoro
which con do people recommend more, Kitacon or Kokorocon?
>>10909930Well this might be the last Koko. Kitacon is every 2 year Amecon has dropped like a pancake And toko is every year.
