I'm sad that this event has fallen off, but I also can't be too upset, because I've stopped applying to join. Having two of my three giftees not bother to post was particularly disheartening. I wonder if there's any way to bring this back in the future, because it was incredibly fun.
>>10976743>I wonder if there's any way to bring this back in the futureMy uneducated guess (I've been ignoring the vast majority of Discord invites from this website over the years) is that there's some /cgl/ Discord server somewhere that everyone flocked to, and going there would be your best bet for a secret Santa thing.
Damn so last year was it? I look forward to this every year. Love connecting with frills around the world. Hopefully comes back somehow.
>>10976752As with most small boards and threads on the chan, that's the most likely explanation. This place was already slow but it really died off during the chicken jockey fiasco.

Halloween weekend con!>Who are you cosplaying as?>What days are you going?>Who/What are you most excited to see?>Are you getting any tattoos?>If yes, what?
>>Who are you cosplaying as?Not cosplaying>What days are you going?Depends on if theres literally anything interesting on the schedule>Who/What are you most excited to see?nobody cause magic refuses to get vtubers>Are you getting any tattoos?lmaoI only go to ink'd because aside from CAD (which is about to be facing bankruptcy) and WAY smaller cons, it's the only thing to keep me sane until C2E2. I think its a mistaken identity con that'd be better if it dropped the "Anime Magic" name. Cause it scares away both Anime enjoyers AND Tattoo enjoyers.Plus they sure as shit don't reinvest the money they make from Magic into the primary con cause half their "bought" machines are still broke as fuck
Hii first time posting on this board but I’ve seen others show their cosplays on here so I wanted to show my best picture I have. It was taken professionally by a stranger on a convention last month
>>10944756Do we have 9S cosplays?
ive subjected enjinight to unspeakable acts in grok imagine
>>10973938isnt that cucked now? as far as real photos go?

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.
>>10976683I went two years ago and there was fuckall to do there besides buying shit and playing at the arcade, which are two activities you already have plenty of options for in DFW without this con. I can see it being worth your time if you're cosplaying, but if you're just going for weebing out on the weekend then go to Round 1 instead or something.
>>10976693the fun is doing a group bit and just fucking around join our group desu
Anybody know what happened? Surprised they never flagged down a single date, so I'm sure that didn't help with the demise
>>10976772Moving to the 4th of July was why. It didn't work out for them. It was deeeeeeeeeeeeeead. They couldn't recover from it.
>>10976773Texas con attempt to not be a total mismanaged shitfest challenge: failed.
hihihi /cgl/, just here to get some thoughts down ^-^im waiting for a haruhi cosplay to arrive, but im kinda worried i wont look as cute as the other cosplayers i see on tiktok and elsewhere on the net. im sure this is a common thought, but its a big one nonetheless. i guess it sorta leans into my sense of imposter syndrome - i dont think confidence suits me at all. i think that the second someone looks at me in cosplay theyll know im faking something.when it all arrives i may post some pics here so yall can lmk what u think ^p^any thoughts or similar experiences ?
>>10972507If I remember right, it was drawn by schoolchildren who liked Haruhi and was probably not worth their time.
>>10972510Honestly, that's probably why Kadokawa didn't sue. Then again, Japanese entertainment companies go after almost anyone no matter what their age is.
>>10972276Things just never change to be honest here.
>>10970755>you will probably mess up your first wig.how does one mess up they wig?
>>10970512>when it all arrives i may post some pics here so yall can lmk what u think ^p^Hi, when you post these pictures, which I'm sure you definitely will any day now, just remember to include a timestamp.
Why do you think so many woman cosplay as bunnies. To be honest it’s starting to feel repetitive.
>>10969229you can never have enough bunnies
They pack their fat in.
>>10976634At least they can, unlike you.
>>10969229Blame Hugh Hefner for it
The playboy bunny costume is a really common sexy look, and that goes since the sixties or so. It's meant to be sexy, playful and coquettish, and cosplay wise is easy to do. But I hate the cheap costumes and if I would wear any, it would be one similar to the official playboy ones
I don't get it. If your fat, just cosplay a fat character.
>>10976287thanks for the advice, I think i could make picrel work, but i've never made a mask or done body painting before.
>>10976777something tells me this could get u laid unironically
>>10976786You mean i could find a twi'lek dancer gf?
>>10976787picky, but maybe
>>10976788>pickybeggars cant be choosers...and im a beggar

This year's metrocon was my first con EVER, and although I only went on the last day, I honestly feel like it captured the "pre-2020s" energy of anime cons I've been searching for!! (I'm only 18 so obviously I don't HAVE the experience of a pre-covid convention, but I've watched old con vlogs religiously and it was closer to those than say, modern AnimeExpo, if that makes sense). Anyways, I'm currently saving up for my next cosplay, and want to go to my next con in December--is Holiday Matsuri still any good? Or has it been taken over by tourists??
>>10976132Mostly taken over by tourists and clout chasers; the soul is completely gone and some could argue the soul was gone a few years before it left the Marriott. Holmat last year was fine, still had a lot of Christmas themed cosplays but Orange County Convention center will never beat having it in that Marriott. I had more fun at it than Metro tbdesu. Metro is a decent enough con but I think Holmat had more things to do. I'd potentially travel for Holmat if I didn't live in Florida but I don't think I'd ever travel for Metrocon.
>>10976132>I honestly feel like it captured the "pre-2020s" energy of anime cons I've been searching for!!It's much harder to discern when you're brand new, but being a green is an advantage here. By which I mean: throw away everything the whining doomgloomers tell you. They were saying just a few years ago that cons were literally over forever and you were going in a FEMA deathcamp for noncomplianceyeah check out HolMat, it's alright
>>10974722No need to be so mean anon. We can be frens.
why do gulls never pay people back ffs
The wig better arrive soon.
>>10959176How tall are you?
>>10955338You need to be over 18 to post here, young lady.
>>10965167Not everyone wants to own a phone that gets its CPU downclocked by the manufacturer with every year that passes.
timestamp?
KEWLL :D
Nothing special.. just dropping a photo to say hi ꒰ꈍᐜꈍ꒱How have you guys been?Who do you guys think I should cosplay? :>
>>10976714in b4 the timestamp police starts crying again
>>10976714You're cute! As for who you should cosplay I got no idea because I can barely see what you look like :)
Is this another b8 thread by the no-life troll? could very well be
>>10976714>How have you guys been?It's okCould be betterCould be worser>Who do you guys think I should cosplay? :>Hard to tellMaybe Misato from EvangelionOr Rosalina from Super Mario

This thread is 3 years old
Well I guess it really is all over now. Time sure passes fast..
>ambition is closingNow it's truly over.
>>10974105It's a new beginning.
Is it normal for people to ask for pictures and immediately leave after?Or is this another Switzerland specialty where everybody hates socializing?OR is it because I'm male?How do you even make friends at a con?I went to a convention as Chainsaw Man last October and while over 20 people asked me for a pic, nobody actually stuck around or even made an attempt at small talk. I was hoping to meet people. There's another convention coming up next month and I'm not sure if I wanna go get photographed and go back home all alone with no new contacts or friends again.
I really like taking pictures but I need a flowchart for the entire interaction or I get overloaded and confused. Even if its from something I really like I won't allow myself to make small talk because it introduces too much variancealso, I used to cosplays in my 20s and I don't particularly like it when someone starts chatting me up after a picture so it reinforces my desire to not do it
I'm a prop maker so I generally lose my mind when I see crazy props and, they usually also lose their shit because I think these people are dying to have their efforts noticed.
What am I supposed to say other than compliment the cosplay? I already feel awkard asking for a photo with a stranger.
>>10908990>Is it normal for people to ask for pictures and immediately leave after?Yes. I remember this always being the norm since I started going to cons back in the late 2000'sYou're sounding like one of those old people who pretend everyone used to be nice and openly talk to each other on the subway until those evil smart phones came along
>>10971179it's how i ended up in a couple of my relationships
ITT: We post pictures of cosplay from the 90's or early 2000's.
>>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
Previous thread: >>10850236Instead or recapping a 2 year long slow thread, allow me to recap 2 years of Dutch conventions and they're current state:>Animecon lost half their visitors, is slowly falling to irrelevancy and going through severe financial problems (again)>Tomo started to ficus more on the fairs, is now rebranding to Japanfest and already went on a "ruined reputation" speed run>Viencon has grown a lot, learned drugs are bad m'okay, and it wont be long until they can rent out the entire Center Parcs location>Abunai! is somehow still standing tall and winning by not doing anything>Nishicon is a decline, had maybe 50 visitors this year and pulled the plug>Ibaricon came onto the scene but proven itself problematic to work with>Elfia is no longer welcome at Castle De Haar>Castlefest remained comfy to this very day>Heroes Dutch Comic Con and Made In Asia are going stronger than ever>Comic Con Holland came onto the scene and is growing fast despite some backlash>Aniway, a Dutch anime magazine, ended their run after 24 years.>Nintendo is tired of there being 9001 Poké-cons using their IP and took actionComment too long.

>>10974165first time having a weekend pass, looking forward to it
any afters?
>Viencon 2027 is announced to not be happeningWtf, they announced the ticket sale date at the ending ceremony.
>>10976140I guess after the ending ceremony Vien started having second thoughts. At least he cancelled it before the start of ticket sales.RIP Viencon. I'm surprised they managed to last this long after shit like OD-chan.
Well shit, now Castlefest and Abunai are on the same day.
