Aug 22 - 24, 2025Hyatt Regency O’Hare & Donald E Stephens Convention CenterWho are you planning to cosplay as at the event?What are you hoping to see or experience during the convention?Where do you plan to spend most of your time at the con?When are you planning to head to the convention?Are you going alone or with a group?
no thanks to another drama thread wnt be attending a con filled with pedos and rapists
>>10958512forgot to mention troons not a single person who attends is straight M00SE
>>10958501Whats going on here
>>10958512the con filled with pedos and rapist is Midwest.also>magic thread before fan expoya'll are slipping.
>>10958610whens fan expo
>>10958614next weekend retardo
>>10958610Doesn't warrant a thread, smart guy. And if it did, why did you choose to complain instead of making it yourself?
what the FUCK is this thread...
>>10958512Magic isn't a Kopf con.
>>10958686it will be with the decisions they keep making
>>10958692QRD on the magic drama?ACEN had Samurai Dan in it this year bro and he's like Kopfs right hand man
>>10958696No drama. They're just shitty organizers
>>10958702oh, then they'll never be a kopf con, cause kopf cons are fucking awful with the drama that happens every year at them.this year was probably my last one cause it was super shitty. Panels weren't very good or interesting, the floor wasnt that good, and nothing really enticed me like last year.Still probably gonna go to CAD though, but yeah i'll just go to AX or something instead of Midwest
>>10958610>>magic thread before fan expo>ya'll are slipping.There's very specific reasoning as to why threads regarding Midwestern cons don't get made until a few days before the con or quite simply don't get made at all.
>>10958730But theres always threads for midwestern cons well before the event!
>>10958692Still better than what happened to Ramencon.
we excited?I hope that pushy faggot bookseller isn't back this year. Dude literally pushed a stack of meditation books on me after I told him no and was just looking, talking about his weird indian guru and shit.I straight up mentioned his ass on the "response form" they emailed cause fuck him.
What's everyone going as?
Anyone doing Fan Expo?>>10958771What happened to Ramencon?
>>10958962I'm doing Saturday Fan Expo because BF6 calls to me and most of the friday panels arent interesting enough for me.
Is there a way to view the guidebook WITHOUT this stupid fucking app?It's so clustered I cant see shit and make a good schedule for myself...
>>10959147No haha oopers just the app :)
I'm going to get a cute horse girl gf
>>10958962>What happened to Ramencon?They moved from Merrillville, IN (a relatively short drive from IL) to South Bend, IN (like 2 hours from IL) and lost almost the entire IL crowd. The numbers they brought in from the new area didn't make up for it. Dunno about this year's event but last year's was literally crowdfunded. They're on life support. All because they chose to move further from IL and not closer to it.
>>10958962I'll be at Fan Expo
>>10959173Oh I knew about the move, I saw the last one that was actually held in Merrillville. DESU I kind of figured it would start to die, not a lot of people are going to take the train to south bend. They just need enough people to convince them to move it to at least hammond.
>>10959185Hammond would have been based. Anywhere west of Merrillville would have been based. But no. And it ain't worth getting a hotel room for. It's a fucking ghost town, maybe a few hundred people; the facility is too big for the event, it looks depressingly vacant in the main hall. My fiancée and I are cosplaying at Anime Magic as the main couple from Hi Score Girl, we're not expecting anyone to recognize the series and I'm sure that if we went to Ramencon (not likely, ever again, I fucking hate driving downtown South Bend) no one would, either.Still, really looking forward to magic. Maybe 3000+ people, it reminds me of the good old days of ACen before they became a 30,000+ attendee circus. (same hotel as ACen, even; just the right amount of attendees)
>>10959213Magic is fun and so is ACEN.I find smaller chicago cons like CAD and Magic are fun because they aren't huffing their own farts and allow wild panels.ACEN is fun too, but really only because it's a 24 hour con that brings a FUCKTON of fandoms together like Vtubers, Kpop, Jpop and other things, not just anime.
What activities are gulls doing? Any fun plans for this con?
>>10959314Going with my fiancée dressed as the main couple from Hi Score Girl and having no one recognize our cosplay.Other than that? Video gaming rooms, and just wandering the halls with friends.
>>10959225What wild panels are you going to
>Vtuber guestsFUCKING FINALLY CHICAGO GETS SOMETHING, and 4 of them are actually relevant in the indie scene holy fuck.Now we just need actual proper M&G's in our cons cause it's disgraceful that every mid-level con everywhere else gets at least 3 vtubers but we can't get shit.
>>10959401i havent looked at the panels list yet cause I have to use the dog shit app on my phone that compresses EVERYTHING
>>10959314I learnt that the vendors DO sell real katana's that are sharp as fuck last year.So i'm kind of hoping the gulls fight to the death with their katana's infront of the Stephens
>>10959430yell at them about it https://www.animemagic.org/contact-us

>>10959581>dead con.yeah
>>10959502deltarune daughter or uma musume son
>>10959581>>10959584Anyone else surprised by just how so few people are here today? Hopefully it's just because it's Friday and tomorrow will be better, but seeeesh. I thought this was the "good" con.
>>10958704I will always give that little shit credit, because I admire his singleminded determination. Fifteen years ago I told him to GTFO of my dept at AI, and lo, he actually did go build his own theme park with blackjack and hookers.
>>10958512Out of all the cons run by Kopf, you manage to get the single one that isn’t kek>>10958730You’re retarded there was a Fan Expo thread no one cared about it>>10959151

Party tonight dm for info you'll know who I am
>>10959670>>10959647>>10959559>>10959502brother?
Magic was a solid 8-9/10 con for me.Panels were fucking great, Arcade was expanded, more Artists in the Alley, and everyone's vibes were immaculate and fun as hell.Easily btfo'd Midwest, Kopf left crying and shitting once again.My only real complaint is that the fucking panel list on guide book was so shitty. Some were double booked rooms for the EXACT SAME TIME, other panel hosts didn't show up, and even more damning is half the ones that didnt show up tried to cancel like 2 weeks before the con and never got a response...I don't know if Guidebook can even be updated after it's posted but holy shit dude that was abyssmal.Also the "Leon Bingo Night" host was talking shit about other peoples panels, and I genuinely think that guy is a douchebag. Don't put down another persons panel cause you have a small dick bro, ESPECIALLY at a con where 90% of us are straight losers. That's just retarded behavior that is more appealing at a frat house than it is a con.
>>10959725i didnt go
>>10959725i didn't know there were any panels going on
>>10959647Your party was actually fun
Gooner orgy neutralized!
>>10959838Nobody cares about that fat faggot or discount kanye and his mail-order chink.
>>10960094>>10960094You care enough to comment
