Any anons going to Kawaii Kon this year?
>>10970322The heat melted my costume but thankfully they let you use the hot glue guns in the manga library>>10970303I saw a Cirno in the dealer's room earlier today
Somewhat of a melancholy feeling this year, Friday being cut short to only a few hours and the reduced scope of events makes it feel a lot smaller. But the smaller crowds were nice.
>5PM opening friday>4PM closing AA sundaywhat a bust
>>10970362I'm just waiting for the concert at this point.
FLOW was awesome... see you anons next year.
Westerners will never be this cute.
>>10964563No, but their suffering can be alleviated with skin whitening products and online larping
>>10964492She is too small, she'll never make it in the anime cosplay world
>>10964492She could still lose a bit of weight.
This one is perfect
>>10969996Pretty clearly edited, if you've ever seen a real anything before. Even anorexic girls don't look like that
>what?an anime convention that stopped being good years ago>when?April 3rd-5th>where?Seattle Convention Center, Washingtonhttps://sakuracon.org/Hopefully it sucks less this time around!
>>10970148yes
>>10970148yeah they're probably a tiktok poser
>>10969959>Seattle for Sakuracon, i am amazed at how many fentheads are milling around >Jesus fuck it's gotten badI worked in downtown Seattle for 10 years, from 2012 to 2022We'd take day breaks from work to visit Pax and other cons at the convention center.>during covid I stopped going to Seattle for work>returned to downtown Seattle for a friend's going away party in 2023>the downtown core stank of stale piss and malt liquor>used needles and burnt tin foil were easy to find on the street>many once thriving businesses were now boarded up empty shells>graffiti everywhere>drug addicts and bums pissing in the alleys, shitting on the curbThe city has gone down hill and nobody in Seattle seems to care.Their rally cry seems to be "hey, at least we're not Portland".It's sad.Comment too long.

>>10970280>It's sad.It really is sad, because Seattle is an absolutely beautiful city. And it's pretty clean too... as long as you aren't near one of the places the homeless congregate at.Most "major cities" are just shitty. Boston, NYC, LA, DC, etc. They smell, look like ass, have trash everywhere and run-down buildings. I guess San Fran is kinda nice... but they have the same homeless problem, maybe even worse.
It was pretty great running into othe 4Channers
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.
>be me>dressed up with a friend>on my way to a meet (actually kinda late)>walking inna hall>guy wants photos.>he takes photos>wants more photos>takes more photos>says his camera settings are wrong>takes more photos>wants us to do different poses>starts trying to have a discussion about random shitI'm sorry dude but we gotta go.I love getting photos taken of my by strangers at cons while im walking to/from something, but usually its like 30 seconds.
>>10941060>walk up to someone in a crowded, noisy environment>don't look them in the eyes>mumble something>seethe that they ignored you
>>10963238This used to be the norm but you would be cancelled today
yeah it's rough. I'm hoping that I might be able to make some friends once I get more into cosplay and start travelling more for some larger cons but I'm still incredibly awkward and people are scary. I've seen several cosplays of characters I like in the past but have never been able to approach any of them
>>10941060Hope you learned a lesson, that not everyone wants your compliments. Get over it and move on, there are plenty of other people who would be happy with a compliment.
So Comikt is less than 6 days from now and still no thread about it on either /a/ or /cgl/. 4chan is truly dying & ober!Obviously all the early entry tickets are sold out but you can still buy them online or from in person stores like Mellon books or Animate.https://www.comiket.co.jp/info-a/TAFO/C107TAFO/For the gulls that have made it the promised land or just here in Japan on vacation. Who's going and what are you cosplaying as?I know traditionally anons met up outside at the "Red Saw" in Big Site.There are other events going on and around Ueno & and Akiharaba aswel.Expect crowds, lots of crowds...
>>10969402Don't attempt to go in the morning, get an afternoon ticket. If you think you're prepared for your first trip, you're not.
>>10967534That's why you use a flash...
>>10966026I've been to the /jp/ meetup at the red saw, way back at the Summer 2017 event. There was really only one objectionable guy and it was more that he was an annoying douchebag, everybody else was surprisingly well-adjusted and normal. Admittedly that was 9 years ago so I have no idea what it'd be like now, if they even still do it.
>>10966028>>10966026i will be going for the cosplay, and i will not line up to take pics, i will just simply cut in line
was looking for a Japan thread... glad to see cgl is still filled with the same catty bullshit that crazy foids still push>>10966825Japan is a once in a lifetime thing for most people, it's seen as special to many and others going to that special place devalues it especially to foids and weebs. Having people cosplay is seen as a gut punch on top of that as many people who are into the hobby. I've met people IRL who've gotten insanely offended by the fact I brought up wanting to cosplay at comiket. It's quite close to the responses in this thread I got, just not as keyboard warrior mode.
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
>>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?
>>10969610What do you plan?
>>10959987hetalia :D
Do you agree with this popular cosplay girl's opinions on male cosplays?

This might be a dumb question, but I really like outfits like this that have this sort of look you'd see in certain jfashions but are a bit casual, but I'm not sure where to look necessarily to buy it. Devil Inspired kinda has what I'm looking for, but I heard mixed things about the quality.
Try thrifting on depop and the like, you can find a variety of jfashion clothes from many styles on there for very cheap! Sometimes you will find good quality clothes for very little money because they have stains or small imperfections that are pretty much unnoticeable, I have many times with jirai pieces. I hope you can find something you like ^^
>>10970194this looks like fucking trash
This is an important question that demands your attention
kinda just comb the front upwards then pull down, part the middle. The rest is kinda simple
What are your thoughts on these cosplayers?
>>10968375my man you didn't even bother to change the filename
>>10968375Not bad but I have seen Gumball and Darwin going harder than some high profile singing Hazbin Hotel ones.
>tfw you will never see a haven trooper or Quiet cosplay God-damned be Demon slayer and those trendy stuff, I want to see big tactical butts and awesome costumes.

Joker from the movie
All the pooners got the Vash out of their system, so he went from crazy common to almost zero overnight. This only occurred to me after seeing that '98 Vash became the majority again@10968106Awesome post, fag
>>10830159I'm not 8ft tall. I'm about as tall as the Major, but not that fat.
The Ghost cosplayers, both Papa and Ghouls really dried up but they'll be back. A band with album and tour cycles is different from an anime that ended 10 years ago
hey /cgl/ this me cosplaying as my cat rupert, who is on my shoulder for reference.Does anyone else here cosplay as their pet, or have tips on how to cosplay more like a cat without looking like a furry?

>>10967014yes

Rn im in the process of redoing the wig, but the clothes kinda bother me.Ill post some pics of the jacket, thats mainly what I wanna improve. I wanna add her little jewel thingy but I dont know how I could make it and attach it, id have to make a little pocket and I cant really sew. (beginner kinda, I started cos in 2023)also with her sailor collar, I dont know what color to dye it. I have tan dye, but I cant make out what the hell the color is in the anime. I will also paint the black stripe red.pleaseplease give me advice since it looks a little cheap, ill be posting more photos to show it. Ill post many updates as well!! :)
>>10963646good idea
>>10955347u still here?

>Late 20s cosplayer who was active pre pandemic and did fanservice cosplays>Pre Pandemic, most cosplay girls(even the ero ones) where definitely nerds, hot girls who found an outlet and overall it felt more authentic>2025? I go to a con and the popular or attractive girls are either failed models, athletes, fitness addicts who are trying to make it big in the cosplay and anime world by being an influencer
>>10966441They're advertising their onlyfans
>>10966441I have the feeling it already started pre-pandemic
Something I think a lot of millennials still dont realize is anime and cosplay arent subculture anymore like it was when you grew up, that world you grew up in doesnt exist anymore. Pandemic accelerated things yes but you have to be a genuine retard if you couldnt see the shifting tide beforehand. It isnt some obscure nerdy interest its just plain culture at this point with all that carries with. Which unfortunately in this day and age also includes lots of IG, OF, tiktok and other such engagementslop. They didnt change just to target some niche hobby, the world around you changed and you failed to notice.
>>10970203amazing insight, moron

Mooooods please manually delete these threads, if it weren't for the necro bumps they would have been gone by now
