Because why notConnichi is around the corner - September 5 to 7 in Wiesbaden. Anyone going?Tell us about your con visits, your plans for the next months, cosplay struggles and everything else!Not sure where to go next? Consult this handy site which also lists smaller local cons:https://www.jam-cons.net/con-kalender
dokomi tickets are so expensive… are all german cons this costly?
>>10969576It's the biggest one after all, so afaik it's also the priciest. Connichi is a bit cheaper, AniMUC is cheaper than that etc, because they're smaller
This is is the state of my costume dawg, I'm so going to fail this project lmao
What other forums do you visit and how dead are they? Anyone got experiences with Cosbase or cosplayforum.net for example?

>>10968475its only funny if you make it obvious that you're doing it for funnies.Fat bearded guy in a Miku outfit wearing suspenders and a "yamaha" logo around his belly button? Funny.Fat guy in a "femboy hooters" outfit wearing the exact same outfit you just saw some 5ft5 twink wearing? Not funny.

Animecon was fun!It feels like animecon is finally back to its former self. Minus the location. I still miss world forum.They had concerts, special guests, events, lots of food and even a cocktail bar. And Miku!
>>10970161I was worried the stage venue wouldn't be able to handle Coda, but it went surprisingly well! Had a great time.Was fun seeing an IOSYS member live too.Broodfabriek still doesn't really work as a location. It inexplicably manages to both feel too cramped and spacious at the same time. Like the main landing spots for people are too small, and the complete open floorplan of the places like the EXP area and the gaming room just feels overly messy. Noise has been an ongoing issue with all events and lectures because everything is always near something loud. (karaoke, popup stage, and lecture rooms so close to each other is the worst offender)On the other hand, I get the idea they had with the dividers showing art to block off the artist signing area, but it made the entrance to the dealer room feel weirdly cluttered and ugly. Like they'd never finished actually setting it up. But they've struggled with how to divide spaces in that back area since the start. I don't think there's much you can do except move venues againOutside of that, I had a great time.
I also enjoyed Animecon this year.Glad they improved the outside space. In the past years it felt like some lost tents and benches on a parking lot but with the addition of the big parasols and the bar and food court it felt nice to hang out.Also liked how they are giving more space to experimental stuff on the pop up stage. I think some new ideas for new audiences are important to keep Animecon alive right now.The broodfabriek will never be the world forum and we will never go back but I'm starting to come to terms with it now.
>just over a month away>no threadSeriously what happened? I heard some BS happened last year but it wasn't bad enough to wipe discussion off the board was it? Just got my room filled and looking forward to it.

I wish there was a better lolita snark site/secrets spot than 4chan now that BTB has been gone for three years. I want places to be mean about itas and share secrets without threads constantly falling apart into trans discourse.

It must be amazing to be utterly ignorant to believe there isn't drama or bully in your precious communities....Cute. Real cute.
Shit like this is why im too afraid to get into lolita fashion despite desperately wanting too

You need to learn how to vibe and talk to people at conventions. If you're underage that's one thing. If you're old enough you should budget for a hotel room so you can party and party with strangers and make new friends. The best part about conventions is meeting people and subsequently running into them at other cons in other years and it's all so fucking beautiful. It's the only time you don't have to suppress your powerlevel because guess what? They know all the dumb memes you do and have a lot of overlap in interests and other things you enjoy. You can ask someone why they're green and actually learn something about Startrek because they fucking love star trek so much they painted themselves green! SO WHEN I ASK THEM THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO GUSH ABOUT THE SHIT THEY LOVE! I FUCKING LOVE NERD CONVENTION SHIT HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>10967674Man, wasn't a con girl but I did meet a girl recently like this. It's a shame too because I think she's really cute and she's actually a really great person to be around but>was raped by a family member>slept with a random guy to try and run away>just got out of another toxic relationshipShe's basically exactly the type person I want but holy baggage and mental illness.
>>10969232this is the one I always think of
>>10964082>3. Dealing with them getting bored of events after ten minutes and having to leave the area or look at stupid shit on their phones like kids grabbing for an iPadThis isn't unique to zoomers, if anything my mid-30s friends are even worse. They'll insist on leaving a fun party or whatever after 15 minutes to go smoke cigarettes/weed by themselves in a parking lot for an hour.
>>10964082Everyone lives online now so they are never taught their words and actions have consequences, nor are they taught how to properly fight back. They think they can just do whatever they want and at most block someone or just delete their accounts and start over the next day. They don't ever have to take accountability for anything they do and worse yet is that when it does start to effect them in real life them, or the abusers can just say "Lol the internet isn't real nerd!" and everyone will just shrug and let it go.
>>10908957I'm nearly 40 and I talked to someone half my age because he recognized my Legend of the Galactic Heroes OVA shirt, and then we dove into small indie Japanese wrestling promotion talk.It's only weird if you make it weird.
Trap HereI'm planing on cosplaying Goth 2B soon and I'm looking for shiny boots similar to the ones on the pic on the right, that are in a mans size. I also want to find better fake boobs than the ones i currently use. Preferably latex without being too huge, I don't want to look like an obvious troon or those shitty crossplayers. Make up will be done by my gf.
>>10969548>>10969569Ehh, I'd fool around with (ravenously fuck) at least 3 of these cuties.

>>10968834oh no he was talking positively about it.
>>10963603>and after the con let out they just went back to the AirBNB and played fucking baby horror games like FNAF on a switch.LMFAO, so does everyone just have friends like this they know from middle or high school? I'm around 22 and would like to make more weeb friends that I can go to cons with and interested in social activities as well though I’m pretty shy . Nobody I’ve met up with from /cgl/ threads has ever taken issue with me being younger, though we sadly usually only have one conversation and never see each other again.

>>10965674getting into sex cliques with a bunch of aging millenials doesn't sound like fun. I actually like anime and want to make stuff for it, I don't want to deal with more groups of randos tangentially related to the thing I'm into.
>jfash these japanese fascist sure dress in a curious way
>ITT: Dating in the hobbySeems like there is a tough barrier to work through when it comes to trying to keep your partner within the hobby. My ex hated cosplay and anime and it has done nothing but drive me to want to date cosplayers, more to help them afford better cosplays and all that, as well as just enjoy cons together and all that stuff. All the apps try and say that you can narrow down your search, or apps like Boo, but it just ends up being normies who either catfish or ghost. Is there an actual place or app to use that isn't dog shit? At the same time I've found that cosplayers generally want to be left alone at cons while they do their thing.
>>10961180I hand out cards with a link to my girlfriend application forum. Hasn't worked so far but this next con is the run
>>10961180I'm a good looking dude but i dont cosplay. It kinda bores me, I prefer music, I dont know what am i doing in this board I was reminded of Mana and Visual Kei in /mu/ and I decided to visit.
Some you retards are looking in all the wrong ways. Most people are at cons to have fun, women included, they're not going there to find a bf.The girls looking for guys at cons are almost always trouble. Mental illness, gold diggers, etc, theres a reason they're single and looking to mingle. The real meta is to find a gf open enough to get into cosplay and who has fun doing things with you because she likes spending time with you. Not the mentally ill one with 30k simps on instagram.
>>10970064>Not the mentally ill one with 30k simps on instagramtheyre the best type of cosplayers though
I exclusively date men that cosplay.
It feels pointless going to cons alone. I just went to Otakuthon yesterday and I saw tons of people, I went to panels, I had tons of nice conversations, interactions and pictures, but it hurts knowing I'll probably never see any of these people again. The only real long interaction I had was with a guy playing Go with me and some other people, but beyond that, it never moved outside of small talk and compliments.I'm still happy that I probably talked to over a 100 strangers in one day, something most people who are lonely fail to do, but being alone in a crowd truly hurts.
>>10932434>Joke around with staffOne time the event organiser asked to get a photo of me arresting one of his workers
I was depressed a lot of the con, my mental was not good. A lot of the time I wanted to break down and cry. A few events made me happy. I had a lot of fun doing some dtuff but my mental was not in a good place this con. I was constantly worrying.
