Hello my southern anons! Has anyone been to animate or any of the cons in NC? Are they well attended? What type of cosplay do you see?
>>10964679My partner and I regularly go to GalaxyCon (the big big one in Raleigh) and Animate!GalaxyCon has always been great, except the crowds are enormous and its hot as balls outside. If you cosplay, people are super friendly and like to chat (the overall vibe feels that way). If you get the attached hotel its 100% worth it.Animate! is newer but so far awesome, it's like a smaller GalaxyCon, less crowded and just as fun.. I haven;t had a bad experience (so far). Going as Qrow to Animate! In January since his VA will be there.One pro-tip: The best event is the "Masquerade Costume & Performance Competition", it's usually on the last day. It's not a Masquerade but a straight-up talent show, and people go all out on skits and songs with their cosplay. It's so, so good, I look forward to it every year.Second, the cosplay wrestling is super fun. Watching Ms. Trunchbull beat the shit out of vanellope von schweetz is awesome, even if you have no interest in wrestling itself.
>>10965077Thanks for the info! I actually live in the triangle so hotel won't he necessary. I bought tickets for the last day so this seems like its a lot of fun!
Animate Raleigh is great if you want a chance at seeing Chris-chan. >>10964790I very much enjoy Ichibancon. It's a small regional convention, so set your expectations. I do like the venue and the parties are great. I've been the past 4 years. Lots of Genshin and ZZZ the past few. Tons of beginner/intermediate level cosplay. A few wannabe influencers do show up and try to flex. I'll be at Ichibancon, Triad, and Banzai. It's like >>10964703Animazement is always a blast. I end up meeting cool people and hanging out more than actually doing the convention. Great dealer hall. The cosplay is usually a good mix of everything.>>10964748Usually shares the same scene with NC. You can bump down to ATL for the bigger conventions. Banzai is my favorite convention down there.
How was Ichiban? I was out of country.
10968455It was great because you, specifically, didn't go
I'M GONNA GUM!
Is it just me or does Gumbun look like Isabella Janke?
>>10967821hot as fuck

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.
>>10967025>>10966859What did (You) mean by this?
>>10967073weird stuff

What are your thoughts on these cosplayers?

>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.
>local con just ended this weekend>talked to a few girls but interactions were brief>still no cute weeb gf
>>10968324It took me years of going to cons thinking "this'll be the year, I have so much travel planned!" before I someday actually met someone I clicked well with and crushed on and somehow landed a relationship with.
>>10964518It's not just zoomers. I've watched groups I've been part of, where most people are 30+, repeatedly let obvious sleazebag predators in while ostracizing people (especially dudes) who are a bit awkward. On several occasions I've been shunned for saying a dude was a creep only to have that dude actually rape a girl in the group a few months later or whatever and then they all act totally shocked.
>>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.
anyone coming to comiccon cape town this year? what are you cosplaying? on what days?im only coming to eye out some qts ive followed online, im not going to do any of their other crap personally
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?

Marin (and variations) and Yor were the obvious FOTM cosplays for last con season. What are your predictions for this year? My predictions:>Yor spillover from last year>a fuckton of Kobeni and Makima>Mitsuri from Demon Slayer (her arc comes out in spring)>Vash Stampede for guys
>>10942521i've barely seen any cosplayers for that in the past year. Before that it seemed like there was far more.
>>10933948>>10933976"Lol"
>>10966941I've underestimated how short-lived the hype of these indie horror games can be. They may only be just long enough for some only fans cosplay shoots the first month after release.
>>10966945Should have been a slam dunkHarley one of the most popular cosplaysGirls already cosplaying Joker from the first oneAnd then they released that shit
>>10968323Capeshit has been on a severe decline since... I don't even know, probably End Game. Suicide Squad might have been one of the most popular couple cosplays but it's not 2016 anymore either

>>10822930RIP lil man
>>10822930Absolute legend
>>10823984oh my
Popular female cosplayers seems to of become more of dressing slutty for attention than putting together a well made costume for a hobby
>>10874263Nigri will always be the queen of slutty cosplay and coom
>>10854442i will never sleep with her but i like her content and don’t pay for leaks. i like her and i laugh at the seethe she generates
>>10854442Because it costs money to make shit, and you losers only want more and more porn
>>10958345>>10939976Opposite effect for me, I'm almost 40 and she's been famous in the cosplay scene as long as I've been in it, I'm surprised to realize she isn't significantly older than that.
>>10959810The image is at least 16 years old. It is quite reasonable to assume that anon is not underage b& because if anon was 2 when it was taken, they would be an of age newfag. Hell, I myself am a wizard and I don't know who she is.
She is low tier compared to some chineses and japaneses.But when compared to americans she is pretty good.Most of the female americans are fat and ugly.
>>10965083She's not even the best cosplayer amongst her close friends.
>>10965675Jesus, that's super
>>10965675Emiru is pure and does not have an Onlyfans unlike this girl
>>10965755Maybe she should have one
>>10965083No fucking way at ALL. She just wears cheap shit online and barely styles her wigs. She just piles on filters and makeup and its a "good cosplay" cause she's cute. Need i remind anyone of "im aysa"? She doesn't make any of her shit and just throws on crap for coomers. Bottom of the barrel. I'd take a fat mom that crafts her shit from scratch over a bimbo in temu.

What do you think of kids at cons? Good? Bad?Should more cons ban them, I've noticed actual porn stars at Comic Con dressed very revealing and selling their stuff there so maybe that should go 18+
>>10968102more like degen subhumans should be kept away from normal people, and have their own "special" cons with as many obese teannies in little clothing as they like, fucking subhuman scum
>>10968114> Anon posts on the most coomer website outside of pornMost people going to cons are degens already. In fact, most people are degens. Ergo, there really shouldn't be any families going to anime cons when the majority of the people attending are just single people or couples wearing skimpy clothes.
>>10968109This happened yesterday at katsu.>10pm, clearly time for slutty outfits to start coming out.>With my friends, walking around. All od us Wearing a somewhat adult outfits.>Some mom and her kid ask for a photo with me.>Agree because the kid said his name was the same as my character.>Suddenly 5 other kids come out of the woodwork, youngest one being like 3 years old, and start clambering to be in the photo. >3 of them are touching me.>One of them grabs my inner thigh.>Nope out of there.What. The. Fuck.
I say let kids attend Anime conventions. I don't get you fucking weirdos with your hatred for kids other than the fact nobody wants to have children with you BPDemoms and degen males or you're still traumatized by some normies kids mocking you for playing dress up or because you're autistic.Keep the skimpy slutty cosplays for nighttime shit when there aren't any kids.
>>10967959>ven then, the whole hyper-sexualized cosplayers never made sense to begin with, since it feels like a step away from full on porn/sex shit in public.I mean, cons have always been kinda freaky. What annoys me is that 99.9% of sexualized cosplay these days is just girls advertising their onlyfans. Used to be a girl at a con in a slutty costume was probably either an exhibitionist getting off or a hornygirl who actually wanted to get fucked that night and I can respect that, shit if I could dress up in an outfit that made every girl that saw me wet I'd probably do it too, and shit, a lot of us older guys in the con scene would probably be way less adjusted and experienced if it weren't for slutty cosplayers. I hate that now it's all fake and done for profit.
What was your first cosplay? >did a closet cosplay from a hotline miami mod maybe 26 people played>most work I did was dyeing a stupid hat
10963862AMAZING post, you absolute fucking faggot
>>10963870why thank you, kind sir
>>10961695Thanks! Got to take it for a spin during dragon con. Got some pretty sweet pictures of it.
