Without Vtubers, Anime Expo would have gone the way of E3. Be grateful ya cunts.
This year, I'm going to challenge myself by eating nothing but Jose's hot dogs during con.
>>10923076What's the going rate for a danger dog these days?
I want premiere. I never got to have it.I want a lounge where the guests come to me and I dont have to wait in lines for panels.any faggot running AX itt, bring it back. Ill pay $800. $1000 if you can guarantee premo seats and guest sigs.
>no bingo this yearGodfuckingdamnit
>>10923091Unironically $10. It's fucking criminal and I can't believe people pay that much for a hotdog cooked questionably. >>10923123I don't think we'll ever get Hiroyuki Sawano or Yuki Kajiura ever. They would cost more than AX would want to pay due to their large entourages (all the musicians and vocalists) and would not get them enough of a return on investment. You'll have to go to Japan to see them. Sawano doesn't really do stuff live too often but Kajiura has shows a lot. She's in the middle of a tour for that matter.
>>10923133Yuki Kajiura has performed at AX multiple times.
How is the AC? A friend is offering to upgrade but I had a terrible experience with its connected hotel, the Moxy, since it basically had no furniture to put our stuff down.
>>10923111>I never got to have it.this is redundant given that the rest of your comments proves you don't know anything about it.
>>10923134Sorry, I meant "again." Modern AX doesn't want to pay for musical guests anymore. They barely spend on solo guests nowadays and depend on industry to provide most of them.
>>10923024Really wish there was an orgy with cute alt girls/femboys. But just hanging with cosplay bros is well worth it as well
>>10923137the first part is what i want, the follow up is what i want included. learn to read nigger.
>>10923180>bring it backeven your feckless attempt at semantically arguing away your mistake is wrong. you can't bring back something that never existed.
>>10923076I've had some good danger dogs but also some truly terrible uncooked ones too. Protip, use your eyes because they will sell you whatever they have regardless of what state they are in.
>>10923123why would Yoko Taro or Kamiya ever go to AX
>>10923188He came last year actually. IIRC he got drunk and lost his head.
>>10923136A bit better than the Moxy, but the rooms are still small. You have room to put stuff around, but not great if you're bringing oversized cosplay.
>>10923180>Throwing more money away for little return That's why they got rid of it.
>>10923024>going to a glorified sdcc where nobody cosplays anymore and it’s full of normalfags and twitch streamers/youtubersImagine. AX has been pozz since 2016.
>>10923207ax has more cosplay than ever before since all the low tier whores realized they can fleece nerds without even having sex.
>>10923188He had to buy a leprechaun mascot head. Looked ridiculous lol.
>>10923207As someone who has been going to both for over a decade, AX still has way more things I actually care about.
>>10923195>>10923223Shit I forgot that was AX
>>10923136The basic rooms have either a long bench in the entryway or a chair by the beds depending on floorplan, no way to tell until you're in there. Important thing to know is that the bathroom and shower have frosted glass walls, anyone in the room can see a silhouette.
>>10923175same desu…wanna start one together?
>>10923181>something that never existedexcept it did retard prior to covid
>>10923175If you're actually strict with screening applicants, this would probably go pretty well.
>>10923024AX is full of spics and niggers that the problem!!
>>10923175I'll be Andy
>>10923286>prior to covidin every possible scenario you will still be a retard.
>>10923296the only people who have ever cut me in line or pissed me off or fucked with someone else or got caught stealing shit that i've seen at ax are fat whites.
>>10923302thanks for proving my point unable-to-reak-kun
>>10923324i'll explain it for you because you lack intelligence and this is fun. the premier badge you want, never existed. premier badges existed after covid. thus, in every possible scenario, you will still be a retard. you're welcome.
>>10923329>the premier badge you want, never existedno cap?thank you for admitting you are unable to parae basic english in the original post youve been mad about for 2 days now.
>>10923337you already tried this excuse and it failed to stand up to scrutiny. .>>10923180
>>10923339>scrutinylet me break it down for you, as you are actually retarded>>10923111>I want premiere. I never got to have it.is separate, but related to>I want a lounge where the guests come to meas it is a separate line, and sentence, followed before and after by a enter. it is not part of the same paragraph.>Ill pay X, if you bring it back with guaranteed X (item)this is not specifying prior premiere, but rather what I would pay to include.the Premier Fan Lounge did have guests stop by, as my bastard friend met okada that way. i want that meeting but with confirmed signature for a paid amount.hope this helped you esl fag.
>>10923342okada signed autographs outside the premier lounge. so did trigger. the line was bigger inside than it was outside. keep going. i find your adamant ignorance about something you know nothing about absolutely hilarious. argue the waiting in lines thing.
>>10923350what am i arguing retard? those are things I want included. please learn to read.
How are the 2 IHG hotels near AX? Talking about Hotel Indigo and Intercontinental LA Downtown specifically.
>>10923373Indigo is a decent walk but its not bad. Has a bar thats kind of nice but gets crowded.
>>10923377there are shuttles to the local hotel block as long as you don't try to leave right when the exhibit hall closes.
I've got an extra room at the Moxy Hotel, single. If anyone's interested HMU
>>10923378where? and can you use them even if you arnt at a specific hotel? usually park near indigo
Just had to cancel plans last minute. Would have been my first time. Maybe next year.
AX needs to make masking mandatory. A new COVID variant is popping up and is making people really sick.
>>10923412
Dungeon Meshi autograph tickets gone in under 5 minutes
that was easy as fuck. got ryoko kui and a second ryoko kui because it was just sitting there.
>>10923415>>10923416I only had 32 people in front of me and it was unavailable immediately.
>>10923418standbys came up after a little bit. kind of sucks they didn't have them up immediately but it's likely you could have pulled one of those if you only had 32 ahead of you
>>10923420I waited and then it just said tickets not available so I closed the tab.damn.
>>10923423I'm assuming they did it the way they did so people couldn't order both a priority and a standby at he same time
>>10923279Oh anon, you're silly. I'm not cute anymore, I gained weight and am chubby>>10923292Oh very, although I'm too autistic to organize something like that.>>10923299Kek
Retard here. What side is the enterance? The top right?
>>10923437IT'S THE BOTTOM IT'S THE BOTTOM I'M SORRY
>>10923207>going to a glorified sdcc where nobody cosplays anymore There's a huge percentage of cosplayers, what are you talking about. The main hall is filled with the biggest showpieces and the entire perimeter is filled with people taking cosplay photoshoots.
>>10923415She'll be at Kinokuniya in LA from 8pm-9:30 on 4th of July
>>10923420I was 1500ish. Priority was of course sold out by then but leaving and going back into the timeslot eventually got me standby.
>>10923347I can never find people to majsoul with during AX
Who’s ready to cut absolutely everyone in line like every other year?
>>10923347>rare encounters of the 13th kindi know exactly what you meanone of the hentai artists went out and played with the randos
>>10923448one occasion where a bunch of non ax attendees showed up to help scalpers get autographs is hardly "like every other year." most line cutters stick out like a sore thumb and nearly all of the problems stem from unpaid line staff making mistakes. but ya all line cutters should unironically be given a dose of polonium-210.
The /cgl/ ax discord is still around for future meetup planninghttps://discord.gg/vamuq5P
>>10923441and tickets for those start this sat at kino. expect the line to be huge.
>>10923445they literally set up tables in the street, you don't need your funny cat tile game when you can play the real thing
late but thought I'd post this there since AX is having an official Beyblade tournament
>>10923472People still Gayblade?
>>10923024terrible con, always been packed like sardines elbow to elbow with smelly sick normalfags
>>10923477I go because it raises my self esteem when I get groped by unidentifiable people in the crowd
>>10923470Too hot outside
I have been practicing with my burro, so I am ready for con sexe.
I am ready to f**k a female dog in Anime Expo and lick their cat.
>>10923517i found new friends at the mahjong setup on w pico across from the convention center last year at 12 am, definitely isn't too hot around midnight :)
>>10923429>not cute anymorei’ll be the judge of that anon :)
>>10923473Yep.
>>shit panels>>not standing in line for 6 hours for autographs>>only concerts are vtuber garbagewhere the fuck are the parties? no fakku party no neon district no nothing, if i don't get to be drunk in cosplay by 10 pm i'll fucking riot
Is convention parking entrance for west hall only on LA Live Way side? Do they not open the Chick Hearn/Georgia St entrance?
>>10923574i think it's exit only.
>people I'm rooming with cancel 2 weeks before because their PTO was denied last minute FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
>>10923586Good thing you took their money months ago, right anon?
>>10923589I was rooming with THEMLuckily I didn't pay a dime since I was only going to pay the day before day 0Now I don't know where I'm going to stay
>>10923595and you can't change the hotel to your name? or you're too much a poorfag to room alone? if that's the case just get a motel nearby.
>>10923578I've actually never been to LACC before 7am since I just parked at LA Live. How does queueing for convention center parking work? Do people just arrive at 3-4am and stand by with their cars on the street until it opens?
>>10923586ironically I actually need someone to add to my hotel room cause all my friends ended up flaking. can you share contact info if you’re interested
>>10923618you can go in at any time during the con. they just have an attendant there during hours so that no retard blocks the entrance/exit when it's busy. some of the entrances are only open during hours.
>>10923024>Vtubers>gacha game bullshit>zoomer humorIts time I accept that I'm old and have aged out of the anime community
>>10923621>animePeople still watch that?
>>10923621All the vtuber concerts are less than half sold, so it's not that hopeless.
>>10923024>You Preregistered?Yes>for the premierfags, you still miss being a premierfag this year?Irrelevant>did you manage to get a hotel? Just a yes or no would sufficeYes>How’s your AX fund jar doing so far and what’s your budget?Getting paid biweekly is a bitch sometimes. Plus some concerts I wanted to go to came into the mix. Why couldn’t Megan Thee Stallion put her Hot Girl Summer Tour at Cryptocom Arena during AX weekend?>You got your work PTO approved?Yes>Any setbacks so far until the con?My overall thoughts are just absolute indifference after going to AX for 9+ years and my interests have changed since then. Seriously debating on this being year being my last AX.>Cosplay Day 0/1/2/3 plans?Casual>expectations?Dunno>what are your dream guests that you are hoping will get announced the week before AX?Too late for that>Going to that AX orgy that obviously doesn’t exist?If there are any gay ones, hit me up
>>10923472>beyblade expertsThere aren't many more embarrasing things to be known as
>>10923619sure.
>>10923621This is gonna be the third year running that Genshin bullshit is the single biggest IP at AX.
Other than the Dunmeshi live drawing, I'm not sure how to gauge how popular the panels I want will be compared to the panels before them. Trigun Stampede leads to WHA and King Records leads into Kuroshitsuji. Should I get in two panels before to be safe?
>>10923654>mihoyo>makes some of the most popular games in the worldvery few other things can match mihoyo right now. by default they're going to be the biggest IP holders at AX.
>>10923654that's incorrect. fotm will always be bigger than some chinese turd gacha. last year it was spy family. this year it's probably dunmeshi. also i don't think it's nearly as popular as people try to hype it up to be. it's mostly the autists that push it. the same hundred people crowd the booth all weekend. and a few people spending thousands of dollars in artist alley always guarantee sales. we'll find out this year from their panel how many people actually care about their games without millions of SEAs online inflating the statistics.
>>10923655you only need to get in one panel before to be guaranteed. i haven't heard of anyone struggling that hard anymore. for those panels you mentioned i doubt you even need to be one panel ahead.
Is this the worst AX lineup yet?
>>10923640Don't blame AX for it. Hasbro's the one that did the marketing for this shit.
>>10923693>premiering the dub of Beyblade X during a panel
>>10923621the youngest zoomer can legally drink alcohol.
>no 2024 Good Smile Company AX product list dropped yetIs it over nendobros??
>>10923703they usually release their list way too late.
>>10923702a lot of ppl still havent caught onto this bakaBoomers just found out about "Gen Z" when they were still calling us "millennials" until 2021. I wonder how long it will take until normies find out about Gen Alpha.
>>10923720idk im a millennial and the 90s is still only 10 years ago.The shit show that was the online GoH auto and kino auto makes me realize anime becoming mainstream was a mistake. Damn wuflu and streaming.
>>10923619Depends Which hotel
>>10923703>Is it over nendobros??They announced over 70 new nendos at smilefest this weekend
>>10923728if you're a millennial it would be embarrassing if you couldn't just buy one from one of those jobless losers, and if you really just want to talk to them for some autistic reason just tweet the artist's hashtags or send a letter. literally free. they get a handful of replies if at all. everything these days is kiddie shit compared to what happened in the past. love live wasn't that long ago. ten years ago ax had 100k attendees, more than now, and they couldn't even get people into the convention center.
>>10923707Just buy it online and save yourself the hassle of being in line.
>>10923747they usually sell stuff you can't buy online like trigger merch. and it comes with extras and the tote bags. getting in the gsc line isn't as horrid as it's been in the past. plastic mania has kind of died down a bit since zoomers would rather spend their money on simping and digital pixels.
>>10923733Biltmore
>>10923745ive been going to AX since 2007 before it was even at staples, and what the fuck are you even talking about
Who's ready for the annual gay orgy party?
>>10923760only if 18-20 CD/traps are thereno tranny freaks tho
I'm not an EDM type, but my friend went to some concert that was held at the LACC last year. It can't be this bad r-right?
>>10923760Any big guys joining in?
>>10923777Take that and now add lots of Asian photographers
>>10923751>ive been going to AX since 2007it clearly hasn't given you any perspective if you're unironically whining about autographs and muh nostalgiafagging.
Can't wait to find VRCHAT pedophile community lead in his cirno cosplay.
>>10923785you implied AX had more people ten years ago which clearly is incorrect.
>>10923702>the youngest zoomer can legally drink alcohol.what third world shithole do you live in where a 14 year old can drink
>>10923814Epsteins Island. Vick M's house. Comic Ping Pongs basement. Anywhere in hollywood.
>>10923820>legallynot to mention hollywood bars don't like to fuck around with that kinda shit.but im sure there's plenty of late zoomers getting extra-legally wasted in the palisades.
>>10923822joke(((you)))
anyone still looking for roommates
>>10923844yes, see my previous posts: >>10923619 >>10923750
>>10923849thanks
It's my favorite time of year: when all of the artists begin to post their AX catalogs and I get to see what I'll be going broke on
Anyone know where I can get a Ryoko autograph ticket? I don't see anyone selling them online after the lotto happened
>>10923915Yen Press booth have 25 to give away, you need to literally be at the front door as soon as the dealers hall opens to have a chance though
>>10923915Some dude on Twitter was asking $1000 but no takers. Someone at the Kinokiniya line supposedly sold it to some idiot for $700 who then tried to sell it for $800 immediately after (no one took him up on that offer), so that's definitely an overpay
>>10923919more than $200 for any signing at ax is overpaying.
>>10923914Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, vtubers, and one obligatory FOTM anime keychain.
>>10923684I mean its women really. They are really the ones to decide what is or isn't popular at these cons.The women like something, and the guys get into it too to be around them and get their attention. Its all very exhausting. You'll never see something like Warhammer get big unless women approve of it first
>>10923935>The women like something, and the guys get into it too to be around them and get their attention.Where's all the Twisted Wonderland, otome, and male idol merch then?
>>10923024>Anime Expo 2027 will be nothing but Vtumors and Chink and Gook gachashitGrim
>>10923918I heard about that but I've got basically no faith in getting one. Besides, insiders will probably be taking a few of those tickets before the doors are unlocked to the public>>10923919>>10923923Yeah I wouldn't do more than $300 personally
>Check out upcoming anime series for the summer>90% of them are all isekai shitNow you know why people are moving towards gacha and Vtubers.
>>10923941As if the nips who guzzle up isekai don't also guzzle up gacha and vtuber shit. It's all the same amorphous "content" for them. Hyperreality.
>>10923939Yeah if you don't have an exhibitor badge don't bother. 25 is basically zero at anime expo>>10923941Remakes and adaptations everywhere. I don't even have to watch them because I've read them in the past
>>10923944Yeah not planning on it. If we're being realistic that 25 is gonna be more like 10 after people with exhibitor or industry badges get their pick, and I'm not gonna compete with thousands of people to line up first
>>10923935theres an entire R18 section thats geared towards men.
>>10923929I've come across a few artists that sell entirely from the Tumorous Trio which has been salt in the wound, but the artists I follow have some good shit that I'm excited to see. That's the hope I'm hinging onThere's a shit ton of stamp rallies this year though. Did anyone else notice? Some of them seem cool but the prizes are not worth the $40-50 to participate. I'm approaching it as "if I happen to get stamps, cool. If not, I won't go out of my way for it".
>>10923951>There's a shit ton of stamp rallies this year though. Did anyone else notice?It feels like every artist is taking part in two or more too, which seems like it would get confusing. So far I've only seen one prize that seems worth the trouble (a cute travel bag), but there are a few where the reward is just stickers or coasters.
>>10923951I've been baffled at the few rallies that require a $20 minimum purchase from each participating artist. Imagine dishing out $240 completing that Genshit rally only for all the prizes to be gone.
>>10923956They deserve it.
>meshi panel is after mha and bleachdo I like meshi more then my not-care for shonen? probably not. anyone else see this as a panel-lite year for them.
>>10923948I didn't say there wasn't anything for men. I'm saying popular anime/cosplays trends at cons are dictated by the woman audience.
>Triple digit temps are likely in DTLA during AX
>>10923991Most forecasts are showing low 80s.
>>10923993Silence, realist! A demoralizer is speaking.
>>10923991>>10923993I feel like 2018 was really the only fucked up triple digit year in recent memory. Most other times it's just 80s, sometimes 90s, and 70s isn't unheard of either.
lol lmaohttps://www.anime-expo.org/2024/06/25/important-update-regarding-nijisanji-en-summer-jam-and-welcome-to-wonder-wander-world-concert-in-l-a/kk02
>3 vtuber concerts cancelledL M A O
>>10924004>>10924005Niji is getting blacklisted from ax after this lmfao
>>10924004Seat sales too low?
>>10924007It HAS to be. I can't believe they booked the fucking Peacock for this.
>>10924004>going to see a screen concertI dont get miku concerts either.
>>10924004Oof. I'd bet Hololive would have done a lot better.
>>10924011Holo just sold out there anyc show yesterday so yeah, they would have
>>10924004Vtubers are a meme.
>>10923955Yes, I noticed that too! On the artists' side, I've heard that rallies can really boost their sales due to the minimum purchase thing. I've participated in some in the past that just required any purchase (even as low as a dollar) or a tip which I thought was a nice compromise.>cute travel bagHaha, good taste anon. Those have caught my eye too. Specifically the RPG and Miku rallies. The Dungeon Meshi coaster set is cute and all, but again, $50 worth? No.>>10923956That's fucking insane.
>>10924004
>>10923955>It feels like every artist is taking part in two or more tooI'm not sure how to feel about some of these artists having a 1 stamp per transaction rule
I'm doing a bad crossplay of Flandre, anyone doing a bad crossplay of Remillia want to link up?
>>10924079No, but my group is doing a bad crossplay of some Touhous. Are you going to the cosplay meetup on Day 4?
Is this con worth the crowds I gotta fucking wade through, I potentially have a room that I can go to but seeing all those fucking crowds gets me anxious. Tbh I'm not sure what I'd like at this con besides the Dungeon Meshi shit, and I doubt that I could actually get any tickets for that.
>>10924081I'll be there on day 4, so I can be aye
>>10924085https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UnDhjfrBd0ka2QIyjemgLmb64HAcuZFcs-Ol3jLNoTA/edit?gid=0#gid=0The full schedule is on here, the Touhou cosplay meetup is @ Site #7, 12:00 PM on the 7th. I'll most likely be in cosplay during some of the /cgl/ meetups as well so hope to see you there
>>10924082>Dungeon MeshiThe only thing that required a ticket was the autograph sessions, and those were free. There are two panels, but you'll need to camp one or two panels beforehand to guarantee a spot.
>>10923377For context, when you say "decent walk", how fat are you?
>>10923437Look at the minimap in the top right. I believe in you, retard.
>>10924057This one is also pretty cute! There's a recently posted Pokemon one that looks promising, but not all the artists have their catalogs up yet.
>>10924094its half a mile but in LA heat and a backpack full of shit its not super fun. Its farther then hotel fig.not fat just out of shape. the JW was perfect.
Best way to stalk twitter for AA items?
>>10924117@AXArtistAlley or #AXArtistalley2024
>AX loses money for renting out Peacock Theater for Nijisanji >Nijisanji may pull out all together and decide to not have a booth>Reading tweets of Nijisisters who spent money on AX badge, flight, hotel, etc. seething about who will refund their travel, lodging, and badgeCouldn't happen to a nicer fanbase
i watched dunmeshi to see what all the autograph fuss is about. it's literally marvel tier slopi want to know how many retards are pretending to be interested in it without even watching or reading any of it. because right now it's pretty obvious scalpers are hyping up this garbage to make a quick buck.
>>10924126Trigger shows are usually pretty popular. I liked the show but I watched it without any knowledge going in so I didn't have any expectations. I won't even attempt an autograph or panel because it seems way too popular and it's going to be crowded.
>>10924123I hope this fucks their perception on any other V-Tuber focused concert, fucking flaking bastards with no fanbase
>>10924126>marvel tier slopwhat does this even mean in this context? Never watched a marvel movie, but I read all of Dungeon Meshi and its a really solid fantasy story with a good grasp of how its world functions.
>>10924130The whole last five months has been quite a journey for niji. Prior to that people thought they were solidly number two and their free events last year had a lot of attendees
>going to be 85 next weekDamn I was hoping the temp would stay down more
>>10923777This is usually what it looks like at the front of the line when it opens on any given dayIt mellows out over the course of the day but that first hour is pretty funny
>>10924118>@AXArtistAlleyDamn, this is actually a really helpful resource. Thank you anon. Is there anything similar for the exhibit hall?
>>10924199I haven't found one yet unfortunately, other than checking #AX2024 every few hours. Industry has started posting their offerings and exclusives, but it's still a slow trickle. Goodsmile should probably have theirs up by the end of the week.
>>10924129the only noteworthy parts of the show are trigger only anime memes that obviously aren't in the manga. but the signing isn't for trigger, it's for the manga.>>109241491 dimensional characters, cringe forced gags during inappropriate parts of the story, characters acting like assholes to progress the story, lul inclusion, nonsensical plot and character motivations.i could see how trigger would want to attach themself to this project due to the fake viral cooking video aspect of the series, but there's just nothing here that would legitimately make ax attendees foam at the mouth.
>>10924212>lul inclusionIs this because there are brown characters or what
I got room in the JW, a double queen. Looking for a few to room with. My email is emoshidesu@gmail.xom
>badges still availablewow, must be an even shittier con this year
>>10924218because of the fat women and mentally ill. and the browns.
>>10924221Please God let this be the one AX where wer aren't balls-to-dick with every single attendee at the con. I want to be able to breathe this year.
>>10924118the amount of early 2000s kid tv and garfield items are throwing me off, is this zoomie nostalgia kicking in?
>>10923472>Making a tournament about beyblade.You might as well turn throwing a d20 and seeing who gets the better score a sport. Damn that's fucking retarded.
Industry chads where are you ?
>>10924231>mfw im tall and make sure to eat the gassiest food possible to shart on all the tiny "people" at AX
>>10924235Garfield is a meme, but >early 2000s kids showsI like Yu-Gi-Oh DM so that doesn't bother me one bit.
>>10924265no I mean like blues clues, spongebob, shit like that. non-anime literal childrens shows from early mid 2000s.
>>10924072In the past, I've seen artists place restrictions on what you buy from their table to count towards the stamp rally. For example, if I want to complete a Trigun stamp rally, I'd have to buy a Trigun related item from their table. I think the reason we're seeing the popularity of the $10 rule in its stead is because less people were participating. I don't mind 1 stamp per transaction, but the dollar amount does bug me. Not only are the prizes not match the value of the spend, but sometimes there isn't enough that I want to buy from an artists table worth that amount, so I end up having to pick up shit I don't want. To be frank, the quality of the artists participating in a single rally isn't always at the same standard.
>>10924082Aside from the crowds, I don't think the ticket prices are worth going to this con if there isn't anything you're sure you want. But yes, the crowds are what they look like. It levels out after the initial entry but you will always be shoulder to shoulder and baby stepping through the AA and Dealers' halls.
>>10924107I love these artists, it's so cute to see them collab. I know! I'm actually surprised that some of them still haven't posted this soon to the con. I used to see them three weeks out last year.
>>10924170It was 85 last weekend and projected to be this weekend too. We're just unlucky on our days off over here. Hopefully there'll be some wind.
>>10924199Like the other anon said, you just have to follow the accounts of the brands you want to see from. There isn't a singular tag. Animate has posted some of their exclusives.
>>10924235Yes and it does surprisingly well with buyers so it makes more sense that artists are selling.
>>10924249Just lurking. Old habits die hard, and I still use the other boards.
>>10924283>I think the reason we're seeing the popularity of the $10 rule in its stead is because less people were participating. I wonder if the rally's prize (presumably) also being Trigun related had an effect too. In that situation, I'd imagine that mainly people with itabags would really benefit from completing the rally.>I don't mind 1 stamp per transaction, but the dollar amount does bug me.I was kinda bothered at the 1 stamp per transaction rule since a few of those artists' multiple rallies would have overlapping fandoms. Riot fans would have to make separate purchases if they wanna participate in both the League and Valorant rallies and there's an artist who's in 2 different Genshit and 1 HSR rallies.I think a $5 minimum is pretty reasonable but yeah, >$10 is starting to push it for the exact reasons you mention. I also prefer to buy things that I know I'll use so sadly I don't see myself completing any of these rallies. If I get a stamp, cool and if not, then whatever. I've been finding stamp rallies useful in finding artists for more niche stuff anyway. It also boggles my mind seeing rallies for Mihoyo and other popular stuff since they're gonna be everywhere in AA anyway. Maybe it's a way to get people to buy from the participating artists over everyone else?
I got room space at the AC. 2x queen. Prefer males and don't mind having other males in the room. Every night will be booze and hot male sex.
>weeb mingle mixer happening during the masqueradeI mean chances were that I wasn't going to find someone to click with, maybe a new friend or two at most to add on instagram. But damn.
>>10924316>Every night will be booze and hot male sex.are you hot? i will drop by if so. gimme some contacts.
>>10924107where can I follow along for the pokemon one? I'd be interested in completing a rally for that
>>10924334It's this one.
>>10924337oh just stickers? hmm, well thanks for the info, I was hoping for a cool fire pokemon thing
>>10924339The Slowpoke/Psyduck thing is a collapsible nylon fan with a little bag and the Plusle/Minun thing is a magnet. I think the other one is a print or something.
>>10924340Oh I see! that's very handy and worth the hassle if I was into those particular pokes, oh well. I wish em luck
