Do you guys go to panels when you visit conventions?>What do you like to see?>What do you not like/find boring>What was the best panel you've been to? What could have been better?>What was the worst? What made it bad?
>>10937348Worst panel I've been to was a "Monster Girl Encyclopedia: A dramatic reading" where the girls hosting it couldn't handle it and kept getting offended like they didn't know what they were getting into.
>What do you like to see?Something at least semi-unique. If not, full audience participation>What do you not like/find boringOff-topic trash and "Here's a circlejerk zero effort excuse for me and my buddies to make gay unfunny in-jokes cuz we wanted free passes">What was the best panel you've been to? What could have been better?All my answers would be cheating ex. concert (though in a panel room), my own, karaoke. I'll go with con horror stories then, since those are pure comedy every time. Also "not long enough">What was the worst? What made it bad?A roundtable that I hoped would be a time killer. What i got instead was "Is any black man able to do Black Panther like Chad?", "Why is it ok to get new actors for white heroes?" etc. High school-tier except it was literal grandpas. Later, I learned one of these grandpas publishes his own Yakub-tier stories like "It Happened on Negro Mountain"
I wanna see Weeaboo Kill Tony
>>10937348I don't usually go to panels but I am usually dragged to by my gf. And they have been almost without fail been either woke as shit or boring as fuck. The one I did like hosted by two lesbos talked about resident evil 4's production and how it evolved into Devil may cry. Which was a decent and informative panel but I almost slept though though I wasn't bored. I just can't stand lectures or movies in the dark anymore. And some gay ass magician who could allegedly predict your zodiac sign by reading you.
>>10937348Ask an Anime Character is up there for my fav, but I haven't been in ages since moving. You just got to talk to ENG VA's for popular characters and they'd RP the answers back as well as interacting with the other characters. Was very fun.Otherwise I'm always a fan of the arts n crafts ones where people share tips and show demonstrations. Kinda varies on what you can use but it's always comfy
>>10937348>What do you like to see?A fun crowd, interaction, and a fun over the top premise>What do you not like/find boringAnime Trivia where 90% of the questions are some old ass obscure anime that nobody in the crowd has actually watched. It also pisses me off when the trivia hosts start making fun of the crowd for not knowing "Generic 80's slice of life anime #3984">What was the best panel you've been to? RE4 themed Bingo was fun as fuck, the hosts were great and knew the games and kept making jokes, they'd put up random esoteric memes on the screens, and the prizes were pins of characters, kinder eggs, or other various RE4 theme paraphernalia. The crowd was also great because nobody expected actual bingo so everyone was just making jokes and shit and having a blast playing bingo.>What could have been better?The time was literally only an hour, and the con wanted the panels to end 10 minutes before which made the whole panel 50 minutes long. If it was like 2 hours, it would have been better.>What was the worst? What made it bad?Worst was again, that stupid fucking Anime Trivia panel I went too where it was random anime nobody knew and the hosts were like, "Guiz come on this is middle school level! Are you not weeb enough?"Even disorganized gameshow panels like Jeopardy or other shit involving anime are more fun because atleast they have more SOVL. Had one relating to Fairy Tail that was a mess, but at least it was fun.
>>10937394>casual seethes over being clowned on by their superiors
>>10937398Here's your upvote, friendo! Don't spent it all in one place ;D
>>10937348>>What do you like to see?Educational and/or interactive panels.>>What do you not like/find boringOpinion, pseudointellectual, or dishonest panels.>>What was the best panel you've been to?History of Vocaloid panel and Guess those Tits.>>What could have been better?Nothing for the Vocaloid panel, the panelist covered all his bases. Guess those Tits had questions with massive difficulty spikes only the most coomer of coomers would know.>>What was the worst?Anything western and cartoon related. This one "What OP is that?" panel.>>What made it bad?They have their own cons they can fuck off back to there. OP panel was mostly all fujo and yumejoshi slop only the biggest degenerate females would know. Very dishonest panel.
>>10937394Themed bingo actually sounds fun and cozy af
Why do small cons even do panels outside the guests?>walk into fan panel>barely 5 people in the audience >run by a lone beard showing everyone PowerPoints >anything related to creative writing is just the host regurgitating basic bitch storytelling advice
>>10937557>Anything western and cartoon relatedWestern stuff in general is way less relevant at cons now than it was a decade ago. It's probably because western cartoons are a dying medium and zoomers/gen alpha think "cartoon" carries an aura of being for babies while watching anime is fine.
>>10937843Watching anime slowly go from a subset of "western" cons to the overwhelming majority has been immensely satisying
>>10937557>They have their own cons they can fuck off back to there.I mean, this doesn't really matter to me. If I see a dude dressed as solid snake at an anime con I don't care.The shit that makes ME mad is when people treat cons as a party haven to get drugged and do coke and shit at. I got approached at several parties outside for "plugs" for molly and coke and shit.Bro, i'm a meek fucking nerd who's at these to find fellow nerds. I ain't trying to fuel your stupid ass normie addiction fuck off out of my circle if your only here to do drugs and get high.
>>10937835Because some of them barely even have guests and it's something that isn't just the dealers room or the bar.
>>10937354Just totally stole this idea and submitted it for a local con. I'm hoping it gets approved because this is an absolutely great idea.
>Wanted a Monogatari segment for my panel>Quickly realize it needs a dedicated panel unto itself>Going through one episode with a fine-tooth comb takes 3 hours>Doing this too with the novels and manga>And there's the in-character commentary tracksthat feeling when that face
>>10938082and there will STILL be a fat, sweaty nerd who somehow knows more than you.
>>10937939Which con?
