>>10895602>>10891268Seems that Ippongi Bang was quite a well known and stared in nude films.>>10891598THIS. It's what separates the sluts from the whores.>>10891599>>10891605Because one is potentially accessible the other requires outright payment for falsely enthusiastic and strictly timed/set/defined results.>>10897885Need that cute blue hair slut.>>10898810Comment too long.

>>10891114Har, that Ranma viewing room thing, tons of TVs with tons of people with headphones watching different episodes. >>10898007Dats a Klingon?! Lol, thought it was some weird Chinese kung fu master cosplay of some kind.>>10919504Maybe she can apply for that 1.778 Trump support fund now.
>>10923186Until 2010, your only exposure to Jojo in the West was Stardust Crusdars because of the fighting game, the memes, the super condensed OVAs and the manga release that only did Part 3.
>>10970662still exists in cons these days tho
>Ask a cosplayer to take a picture of him/her.>Clearly looks annoyed while posing.As someone who's an introvert who handles socialization like a minefield, that's basically nervewracking.
>>10971328This, or maybe just being annoyed is part of their character haha
>>10971316How ugly are you?
>handles socialization like a minefieldSaying this>Clearly looks annoyed while posing.but still trusting your own judgment. Autist pitfall 101
>>10971316I remember this happened to me at Otakon in 2005 and it was the first and last time I ever bothered a cosplayer for a pic.
>>10974067jesus bro...
New day badges, new website, same old bullshit.Location: David L Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, PADates: July 23-26 2026
So how is the con today? Shitty? Bad cosplays? Ugly lolitas? Bad panels?
>>10973965Were you the gull I met on the rooftop last night? If so, glad I could get you a ribbon.Anyways I had a really good Tekko this year, met a lot of new people and got hella ribbons. The Dokibird panel was awesome too.

>>10967014yes
>>10967014Most threads in this corpse of a board are from 1-3 years ago lol reminds me of /w/
>>10967026no
Do you guys ever like to go through YouTube and watch con and cosplay fandom videos from before the 2010's?It's a hobby of mine. It makes me sad.https://youtu.be/vc2Zj1C_uKY
>>10882742>people who've been doing cons since before 2009 still kind of sideeye animecons.comNot being a con person and never having gone to them I don't know why, I only ever used them for con photos.
>>10954711>unironically said it's one of the most political animes out thereHasanabi is a massive retard and the voting populace needs to be screen for autism if they actually take away real life political messages in fucking one piece.
>>10967847an imminently fair criticism, but even those people aren't really all that different. Even without the social media presence, people still do that social thing of wanting to appear important/cool at least as much as actually having fun. That sort of behavior totally predates tiktok>>10967834>Not being a con person and never having gone to them I don't know why, I only ever used them for con photos.Its kinda related to what >>10967847 was talking about. There's doing stuff for the love, and there's doing stuff for ancillary reasons. clout, networking, set up gatekeeping, imagined authority, etc etc. After the biggest cons either hit 10 years or crossed about 20,000 people, all sorts of websites and community chains started popping up. Some were genuine, some... did not feel as genuine.

>the year is 2017>everyone at the con is checking their streetpasses every 30 minuteswe'll never get this back, and it hurts so much
>>10900384I think I wrote this and forgot so I'm not sure why I said mid to late 2010s when I enjoyed the first half more. It was like the near perfect bridge of high effort cosplay and genuine fans.
>streetpassesSure, those were cool. But have you ever live-shitposted in Pictochat during masquerade?
I take my 3ds to a local con every year but I keep forgetting to check it so I only cap out at 10 streetpasses for the whole weekendI just realized I'm really close to finishing puzzle swap so now I'm madI just started talking to people in lines or finding something to do instead of checking that stupid thing 24/7why the FUCK did they cap it at 10

Nothing like this will ever happen again

Anyone going to Otakuthon in a month?
i'm going! i'm volunteering at the cosplay cafe. refreshing to see people on this board talk about otakuthon since i rarely go to any other con. =)
>>10973511Yep, my first time as well. Here's hoping Montreal can bring their A game.
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.
>>10972034>None of the girls I get to talk to are ever alone, either they say they have a BF/friends or they are surrounded by orbiters and running off somewhere I don't want to beThis sounds like confirmation bias, there are lots of girls who attend conventions by themselves
>>10972046You could've fooled me Every girl I talk to is apparently in a relationship, even the ones who are alone, even the ones who are apparently at the entire CONVENTION alone instead of just separated I don't use conventions as a dating pool, I go for the convention, so I just talk with whoever catches my eye in the momentI'm not going around talking to girls alone buying things without makeup on, cause I see them when I'm in the middle of doing my own shit and don't have an easy icebreaker even if I went out of my way to try Even the fat perverts at 18+ panels have orbiters and there's never an opportunity to actually TALK to them, you know, that thing human beings are supposed to do in person to get to know each otherEveryone at the con is just alone doing their own thing instead of trying to be social and meet new people or do fun things, the amount of people just sitting around staring at their phones while they were at an event or in a panel or something was depressing Everyone already has their own friends, their own routine, or more like their own social media page they're trying to masturbate above all else
>>10931985>go out to wander late at night at AN>first person I meet trauma dumps on me for 20 minutes>decide to go to sleepIt was an interesting conversation, at least.
old man here, i'm 38. When I was in my 20s I was a lot shinier, I'd go to cons alone and end up in room parties and make new fair weather friends. I'm not shining as brightly as I used to but I'm still going to arcades, making new friends, grabbing contact info from people, getting invited to house shows etc. Recently chatting up a bartender ended up getting me into a house show and getting enveloped into a friend group. I'm just going to rattle off some what I do & my mindset.1) Making new friends is a rollercoaster of painMost ephemeral connections will turn to nothing and you have to just accept that. I've chatted up plenty of people for like an hour and they seemed super interested, no follow up after. One night I was able to play dance rush with this girl for an extra hour or two and it was really nice. I loved talking to her and she seemed to like talking to me. no responses after exchanging info. You have to be able to withstand this and keep it together without either blowing up someone's phone or wanting to blow a hole through your head. You can't have expectations. If you feel like there's stakes to social interactions ("THIS WILL BECOME MY GF") it's going to be ruined. If you don't have restraint for either your actions or your thoughts put aside trying to socialize with strangers until you do.2) Numbers game is the worst possible advice you can getPUA nonsense. It's humiliating. I saw a guy doing this at a show. Alone, went to everyone in the bar and said his bit. People are always looking for something new to talk about and you don't want it to be You. Talk to someone because something about them interests you and the genuine curiosity will color your vibe. You'll probably have a natural jumping off point from there.3) be ensouledif your hobby is going home and passively consuming something like a video game or streaming content. with 0 thoughts about it. idk. die. talking to you sucks.
>>10973999It's always a shock to me when I'm reminded that society has deteriorated so much that making friends is now something very many people struggle with. It's wild for me to see terms like "numbers game" appearing in advice for how to make friends. But I'm also one of those people who got lucky in college with an extrovert "adopting" me, so I know how fragile it all is for the people that are able to make friends.Nice trips btw
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.
>>10973713They are owned by rapists to invite more rapists so they can keep on raping. It is no wonder that people aren't coming out.
>>10973713They don't put on a good show. Any controversies wouldn't matter if they actually ran an event worth going to.
>>10973713nothing, it keeps mogging every other tx con and it existing simply creates seething hatred
This latest drama about a guest canceling on Matsuri hours after their announcement is making me LOL.
>>10973710The desperation of AM is laughable. They're already begging for people to pre-reg next year. They are posting photos to show that it is empty when other people show walkaround videos of how empty it is. The rave photos were pathetic in how many showed up.AM needs to admit that it is in shambles. A shell of its former self. They won't admit that Dreamcon has taken its place.
