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
>>10967777>>10967778Wow there, ease up on the hate, bitch. I never said I'm happy that normies invade cons. I like anime and I'm a nerd and I like people who have sewed their costume or show otherwise effort and are nice. My point was that everyone doomposting about big cons is forgetting that there are a lot of chill places still.>getting into anime, cons, and cosplay before it went mainstreamDon't tell people what hobbies to have, moron, and those were the best times, precisely because the hobby was free from normies. Most likely free from you as well.
>>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.

What make yall like the cosplay of a cosplayer?
>>10969284I hate to admit it, but these days I mainly prioritize bust size...
>>10969290What's the confusion here? If your race is too different from the character's the cosplay can look bad. For anime characters with ambiguous undefined features it might not matter as much, but for others it does. Skin tone also plays a big role. There's wiggle room, but if your skin is too dark or too white for the character it won't look good.
>>10969284It's either the cosplay being hard to do and being awesome (like most full armor cosplays, or Cyborg Raiden)Or the cosplayer is a hot woman wearing a hot cosplayYeah, I'm a pervert, I don't care
>>10969284I like seeing unique stuff. Things that aren't done commonly or from older stuff people don't do anymore. Seeing the billionth FOTM cosplay just bores me, even if it's super high quality effort.
>>10970319this desu. I'll always prefer a mediocre cosplay of some old obscure character I've never heard of to the billionth technically competent but extremely boring umamusume/kpop demon hunters/whatever other slop cosplay
I'm looking for tutorials and guides how to make makeup and wig styling for crossplay.

>>10966078>>10966080Hi, could you share your ID number, as well as the ID numbers of the people who sent you these gifts, if you have them?
Thank you so much for the gift #3879! I'm so sorry to post it so late. I'm incredibly happy about your amazing gift and it's more than I ever expected. You picked out the perfect items. The h.naoto and Baby items match my style perfectly, I always wanted to get AP arm warmers and this Hello Kitty bangle. The sanrio gifts and the sweets were really lovely too. Thank you so so much!!!
If anyone is interested in doing a Secret Santa (or any sort of gift exchange) with /cgl/ users again this year, or any year in the future, please send me an email! secretseagullsanta@gmail.comI'll need to know if there's any interest, and I can also send an email as a reminder when Christmas is getting closer. It'll probably be done a bit differently from previous years, more suiting the small number of people, but if there's anyone left who still wants to do gift exchanges, I'll help make it possible.Also, if anyone has anything they want done in regards to the 2025 event, please email me about that as well.
>>10970286Doesn't seem like the community is there for these anymore. Very little excitement or hype chatter, and very few posts of gifts. It would be better off it was put to bed if there weren't enough people with their hearts in it.
>>10970368I agree, but even if only 2 people remain who want to exchange gifts, I'd help them connect. Even if it ends up being done in a way that doesn't resemble past events at all, maybe it'd all be done by email. And I don't think any new thread will be created, but if there's any desire to share things with /cgl/ this thread could stay up.But from the looks of it, the event seems to not have much of a future. I was thinking if anything could be done for people to go back and look at old memories, when new threads will no longer be made for the event each year. There probably would not be much interest even in that though to be quite honest.
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.
>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. Click here to view the full text.
>>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
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.
Do you agree with this popular cosplay girl's opinions on male cosplays?
>>10957743

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
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
going to AX this year for a bit, but I wanna improve my mamimi cos. 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!! :)

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.
>>10947302>you could watch a true crime documentarytrue crime is industrial grade gossip
Thread is 1 year old today!
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
