May 15th - 17th, 2026.Hyatt Regency O’Hare & Donald E Stephens Convention CenterDo you have a cosplay picked out yet?Any particular events or panels you're hoping to catch?What part of the convention floor are you most drawn to?Are you traveling in from out of town or staying nearby?Will you be attending solo or with friends?
Which one of you niggaz is making these threads
>>10964787Look to the MOON and you will find da WAY
>>10964793Ahh, I see. Thank you. Kind anon
>>10964796All good anon >>10964388South Florida anon rep!!!
>>10964783Anime Central
Can you guys die already? This is 6 months from nowLike genuinely shoot yourself in the head
>>10964808No. Fuck off. I'm starting my plans right now because of this thread.
>>10964808That one anon had it right.
>>10964808Gotta save that for day zero
>>10964808Do you not make plans in advance before the convention? You one of them lazy fellas who ask for a room the month of the con?
>>10964808Hopefully they will soon since that seems to be the trend. How many deaths do they have now, 4-5? Last one was that guy from Michigan.
>>10964808This. Last acen my friend got told to her face sheprobably likes BBC and is fat. FUCKING DISGUSTING
>>10964824Was it true?
I did not get a room so I'm not really thinking about it
>>10964825No she's a respectable nice kind and thin person, if I see the person who told her birds of a feather as a "light hearted line" and no I don't by the "it was about finding other gulls joke. It's revolting. I will lay down some hell.
I might do Asuka again.
I'm staying home because anime is gay and so are all of you
>>10964833checked
>>10964831Can you do burger king rei again? I know you out jew'd the jew Reisen that was EPIC!!! especially when you went on about the "haters" you have. Never met anyone who never fucked up in their life before and has so many haters. especially when walked into my room party, stayed an uncomfortably long time, annoyed the women, and I had to message the guy you told me you were. Why did you wear his bow man? I get nigga never coming back to acen since he moved to Japan or something but like man what gives?You must be a legend.
>>10964824She's probably fat and definitely nawt worthy of BBC. Save the BBC for a hot femboy like me.
>>10964839hey old man. where's revcon at. i know you know
How do you guys meet up with people? Ill be going solo for the third year, feels kinda sad seeing everyone with friends. The official ACEN discord seems so strange/weird to wanna make friends there.
>>10964905It is. Now people have discord and they meet with people they already know. At night you can talk to randos in the common area, even Thursday sometimes. Otherwise you might have to go through the discord. If you have any cons before then try making some contacts at those and join servers and ask who plans on going to Acen. Use common sense and be safe
How lame, another year alone. I did meet up with some people from here 2 years ago, last year I did but it was awkward. Time to make friends IRL? fuck.
>>10964905do NOT meet up with anyone from these threads.They're all groypers, pedophiles, and nazi's with none of the fun that comes with that and all the drama/doxxing/drugging.
>>10964969not to be weird, but met up with an 18 year old girl from the main discord. We hung out and ate. im 27.
I hope the Finn returns this year, I have nothing else to look forward to at ACEN
>>10964950A lot of them are ok, just a select few you need to watch out for
>>10964978None are okay those groups openly give passes to rapists/pedophiles I’ve heard “but he’s my friend” after a dude statutory raped a 14 yr old LOL They don’t see a problem with that because he’s the party guy
>>10964987but he’s my friend
>>10964989Make it three
I am very normal and sane and can be trusted to be awake past midnight at the Hyatt Regency O'hare
What do you think well see a lot of cosplays of? Rize?I hate women so much its insane.
>>10964989Its three but I also want invitesI got banned from main
>>10964974Don't answer this
>>10964866Even if I did know, why would I tell you?Also probably younger than most in this thread.
>>10964925He would like that
>>10964783ACEN had an actual pedo as a guest and never even apologized. I wouldn't go for that alone.
>>10965061Who? You?
>>10965061Shotacon ≠ pedophile
>>10965073Okay but what about her interest in actual 8 and 12 year old boys? Is that fine?
>>10965076Her friend is a twig
>>10965061ACEN is retarded because they completely shy away from idol culture and vtubers.One of the organizers when asked about idol guests just went "lol, lmao".ACEN also classically lacks in panels because everything is more "scrutinized" so the interesting panels go to midwest/magic/CAD instead because atleast they'll get accepted.
>>10965088She was only 19 when she said the 12 year old was cute. And that's all she said. Also, 19 was consider to still be a minor in Japan at that time.
Anyone wanna meet up?
>>10965152met some cool people last year
>>10965284what "AI" did you use for this ?
>>10965288Literally replying to an AI slop post.
>>10965293Grok 4 Heavy (SuperGrok)
Aaaaa don't know what to cosplay
>>10965101Acen 2022 had vtubers but hey were comically bad that year and so they've been effectively blacklisted from a lot of groups after they sold their guests on vivid mask mandates, then undid them right before the con.
Can we talk about something other than drama?
>>10965398What do you guys think the big cosplay will be?
>>10965398It's the same thing every ACEN thread and pretty much all the Illinois cons.>Noting but drama because of those groups>mods nuke all the comments>ACEN finally comes>That group just starts more shit and it goes critical.>Mass deleting of comments.>Thread dies.It's always the same people too.
>>10965398I think ACEN sucks and lacks variety!
>>10965384they werent blacklisted, theres just a member of their parent organization who hates vtubers and idol culture.Which is why they NEVER have idols OR vtubers OR maid cafes...
>>10965405Good
this entire con is just faggot elitism failed to leave the nest cliques. mare fair mogs you
>>10965401when the magic is gone but you keep going to the con sometimes ppl who took too much get delusional and think their life is an anime their friends are the characters and they make up dramatic plotshow embarrassing
2023 was funGot to take a pic with her
>>10965437Who is she?
What are these ladies cosplaying? Is this Show By Rock?
>>10965539>ladies
>>10965401What a shame.ACEN is the only con I really go to.
>>10965401>>10965398i'm here to talk about cons and ignore the retarded schizo shit.Unfortunately theres so few non-schizos here that it's just me and like 2 others...
>>10965590what are you thoughts onthe color temperature of the con center's lights
>>10965591I have no fucking idea what "color temperature" means. I'm gonna assume like... how bright they are?I dunno, the stephens could use brighter lights cause it gets REALLY hard to see out of a mask sometimes lmao.Personally the best quirk of the Stephens compared to other centers like McCormick is that it has that 1 mile long walkway where the parking garages are on the completely opposite side.Genuinely, ain't nothing like a comfy half mile walk from the hotel at 3 AM back to my car
I really wanna hotel nearby even though I live 40 minutes away. I wanna after party and maybe tinder date
>>10965596I have a party both Friday and Saturday nights
>>10965599You managed to get a room?
>>10965622who didn't
>>10965632Me
I hope I get to see her this year.
Singles meet up?
I'm not single sorry
As in people going alone
>thread went from 110 posts to 79holy schizophrenia...Anyways, ya'll excited for C2E2?
>>10966395Not animeNo
>>10966395When is that happening
This thread was made way too early, who thought it was a smart idea to make a thread for a con happening this year, last year?
>>10967031Nah its fine the board moves slow anyway, it gives us a place to discuss
>>10967031Probably just the pedo gulls making it so they can infight like always. All the threads from Illinois just got like 80% of their posts purged.
>>10967031unironically the 2 retards who fight eachother in these threads made it to stir up drama.Theres really only like 5 of us who arent schizophrenic and post in these threads
>>10967110Oddly neither of us made this thread. One of the gulls did and I know which one.
Think shell let me take a picture?
>>10965599anon im a guy thats cool i do av for the cons can i go to the party also im shy tho
>>10967265>I know which one.lol, lmao even
>>10967329>im a guy>im shySo it's safe to say you're a *takes off glasses* SHY GUY
Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the guidebook from last year? I checked the app and it doesn't look like they leave it up.
I might be called out, Klefta. I am a degen. We are using 4chan, so of course.
>>10967722dubs of truth
QUIC: to the Chicago 'nons actually in Chicago rn, dak of any place I can get the foundational Jirai Kei outfit at? You know the one, the black overalls and off-white shirt one. I want to wear it for AMKE next week. I know I can buy one of the slop mass produced ones on Amazon, but umm, I already have like 3 of those lmfao and they are really shitty. I walked around today after going to WWE SuperStore since it was gorgeous out and did some window shopping but couldn't find anything worthwhile. I did get some things I can work into a "casual" Chihiro (Danganronpa) cosplay but I'm not the biggest fan of "casual" cosplays, plus I really do want another high quality foundational jk fit.
>>10968670what you should have done was not wait until the last minute and ordered some clothes from dear my love instead of amazon chinese sloppa.
>>10965073Most truest thing said all thread.
>>10965750hopefully in a cosplay from a non-shit series
>>10968763>shit seriesHeyyy Frieren isn't a "shit series", don't cha know, it's le heckin' BASED edgy just-saying-it-outloud common-sense series!
>>10968770TDD
i still havent bought my chinese made amazon cosplay
>>10968777You're running out of time
is the “not” black guy and his dickless alien cohort still banned?
Where that ftm that was there when the dude committed?
>>10968831Well, considering most everyone "involved" only ever got BINO'd (Banned In Name Only), it goes without say no, they are not still banned and WILL be there unfortunately. At AMKE too.
>>10968835They dress mad girly now (moreso than ever before) and use they/them pronouns more than he/him ones.
>>10968841Lies and slander
>>10964833Second most truest thing said all thread.
>>10968863Unless the Baird Center and the surrounding hotels have partnered with Palantir or even ClearView AI for RT OD facial recognition or unless they drive there and one of the FLOCK ALPRs in the parking lots and surrounding area catches their car, they're getting there. So it's really up to you anon to make sure they're not there bothering anybody! I believe in you! You can do it! -^.^- You'd be the con hero!
>>10968865>Unless the Baird Center and the surrounding hotels have partnered with Palantir or even ClearView AI for RT OD facial recognitionand even then, this is an event specifically DESIGNED to wear costumes and masks at, so facial recognition AI would have trouble identifying people
>>10968866Matter of fact, if you really think about it, most people at a con are either wearing cosplay (and thus shoes and other garments that they don't usually wear) or carrying stuff (like their haul from DH/AA or a bag, purse, backpack, etc.) all of which alters gait so if it really comes down to it, gait recognition wouldn't really be that effective either. Damn, Makes you think, makes you think.
>>10968863Ok this is the acen board can we talk about acen
>>10968870Nooo!! Now they're gonna go and shit up that thread too! REEEEEEEEEE
>>10968863Your schizophrenic as hell, but also using your schizophrenia to shit on people who are shitty people in general is pretty funny
>>10968898This.
>>10968898Don't worry hopefully they get their comeuppance Soon^(TM) whenever they manage to scrounge up enough money to visit the shitty ahh cons in their shitty ahh home state
>>10968835Out grooming their next victim like the rest of the Chicago groups.
>>10968995I would believe that for the rest of the squad but not this one, a pure soul
>>10965061allegations disproven, dipshit
>>10969052get a load of this ^o^
>tfw you're too tall for a platelet cosplay>tfw you're too short for a red blood cell cosplayI got this really cute set of overalls and immediately thought of doing a rbc cosplay from Cells at Work but I'm too short :/ it'll look like I'm cosplaying a long lost rejected genderbend AU Mario lmaoooo
Now would have been a good time to create this thread, not last year
think there'll be a fire pit this year like last year?
>>10969494I hope not, but then again it’s following the trend of getting worse with every terrorist attack during Midwest Furfest
>>10965539This is Muse from love live. Their cat twin tail outfits specifically.
>>10969501what the fuck are you talking about? I'm talking about an actual fire pit that was hosted on Saturday night by the back of the Hyatt that they allowed for some reason.There were weenies and smores and shit
>>10969509Sorry, I wasn't there for that and thought you were alluding to unfortunate events
this year will be my final, i hate going alone.
>>10969530The Finn will accept you, if you speak Finnish
>>10969530I'll accept you as long as your not a weird schizo who'll try to doxx me after you attempt to grope and drug me in your hotel room.
>>10969623>gives u drugs and sex>anon gets upsetwtf man
>>10969623What
>>10965343Five months to the MINUTE later and I STILL don't know what to cosplay. Aaaaaaa sooooo manyyyy things I want to cosplay Aaaaaa :D What are you guy going as? Does acen have one of those little graphics for cosplans? I haven't seen a 2026 one yet.
>>10969920Hornse
>>10969920Photographer
think ill just cosplay as miku, hope the 3XL from amazon fits my ass.
My wife and I will be there, hoping our stuff gets finished up by then. Kinda lost a bit of interest in the whole trip once finances started being bitched about despite the extensive list of cosplays & ravewear that was suggested. Oh well, c'est la vie. Hopefully I can find some decent merch this go around while trying to be the "scary dog" for my wife in her skimpy cosplays. Come say hi if you see a Hypno and Misty.
Is going Sunday worth?
>>10970039You either bought the 3-day pass at its cheapest or are too broke for friday. Explain yourself
>>10970042No hotel room
>>10970087How far do you live away? I like like an hour and still go
>less then a month and I still need to do the finishing touches on my cosplaymaybe tomorrow...
I’m going to ACEN which will be my first anime convention! Any advice?
>>10970264Stay away from the gull discords.
>>10970267>noooo stop making friends!
>>10970264im no expert even with 4 big cons under my belt. Make sure to look and double check any events you want to attend. Stay hydrated, get food for your hotel unless you want to spend a lot of money on con food. Be polite ofc. The con backrooms are long hot and confusing so be careful in there.
>>10970264>Any advice?Ask for Kyle
>>10970264Panels and Events are all free (unless stated otherwise on the website), look at the schedule and go to the shit that interests you!Don't forget to bring your ID to get your badge for the con!ACEN was my first con 3 years ago and now i'm addicted to going to them, they're fun as fuck with like minded idiots (and are generally funner then comic cons).Don't get overwhelmed and just explore and compliment cosplays and look at hot cosplayer butts from a distance.
Anyone wanna hang out? I'll be going solo
>>10970391Can you contain yourself?
GUIDEBOOK IS UPtheres actually a fuckton of interesting panels and programming.But no capcom or metal gear meetups is sad but i guess nobody organized it this year
>>10970488Militaria meetup seems new, which one of the /k/ommandos got washed up on our shores?
How early do you guys think you should to ACEN? How long are the badge pickups usually?
>>10970504Your gonna wait in a line no matter what.
I'm surprised no one has commented on this yet. Has 4chan forgotten its forefathers?
>was originally planning on just going without a badge and hanging with friends/ going to room parties>Yuki Kajiura and FictionJunction concert announced"Well, it sucks that I'll have to miss out on that, but $80 is a lot--">iDOM@STER concert announced>with best girls Chihaya and MikiWELPDidn't have a choice. Had to break down and get a badge.>>10970519Oh, I remember. Been on this godawful site since 2004.
>>10970491its the finn hosting it, gotta be
>>10970504There was a line like 3 PM Friday when I went, so if your taking the day off work I'd recommend going Thursday and just waiting
>>10970519>stayed up to 3 in the morning listening to the worst djs to see W.T. Snacks last year>he start playing the same bs as the other djsa lot of people seemed to like it but me i guess. was kinda cool to see him but not really worth it. especially since i can just go to his sets in vrchat.
Hotel sex with strangers
>>10970522He’ll be there, no doubt about it. May us rejoice for him bringing back genuine military fits to acen
How will I find hotel room parties?
>>10970557Use your eyes and ears, friend. I say that with no sarcasm or disrespect. Cons in Cornfield, Indiana have parties, this one's playing on easy mode
Chainsaw meet up when?
Should I get on the official discord channel?
I hope more drama happens this year because I LIVE for drama that has no impact on me but means everything to two schizo groups who are both a danger to the public
>>10970504I get there at 9 for the nice parking
>>10970569self report kek
>>10970519perhaps it's for the best ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ >>10970524not sure what you expected, bruhalso lmao I play the same shit in VRChat that I do IRLmaybe you just don't like raves??
>>10970580Sign my shit bruh
>>10970580Oh hey, I met you once in VRChat. I hope I can eventually meet up with you, again. I'm also gonna be volunteering at ACEN, so maybe I'll see you there as well.
>>10970580>maybe you just don't like raves??probably. friend of mine has dragged me to the rave there every year. I think im just picky when it comes to music.
>>10970580>we actually have a non schizo entertainer who's herevery funny. con raves aren't my thing (and when I have gone to them they've been dead as fuck) but keep doing what your doing bro.
I don't go to raves because I like to sleep for the next day
Wish I had gotten a hotel room for raves. I live 40 mins away.
>>10970580Play nightcore faggot
>>10970580nah hes only nostalgic name recognition not actual talent lmao
>>10970609The ring leaders? there hasn't been drama since then...
>>10970610What's the lore?
>>10970610nostalgic for who???>>10970582playing in VRChat this weekend SO MAYBE BOTH>>10970594okay ^__^;
>>10970614Which day and time are you playing
>>10970580>>10970614Play Kanye
>>10970623*One very specific Kanye Absolut BANGER that dropped somewhat recently as a matter of fact.
>>10970622opening Saturday 10:00-10:45 before Soichi Terada (Ape Escape) live set :O>>10970623oh god no
>>10970625wish you the best of luck bro, hope you get lots of hot cosplayer puss
Going to acen for the second time with my friend. Last time (2024) i had a super cool cosplay and had so many people asking to take my picture. But this year the cosplay I put together seems a bit drab in comparison. Also I waited way too long so my hotel placement FUCKING SUCKS. Last time I went my hotel was a 10 minute walk right up the main street, it was comfy as fuck. But this year my hotel is a 10 minute bus ride away, and im nervous about getting on the bus with my goofy cosplay. I guess i'll just have to become a stoic during the ride but I really wish i had gotten my hotel earlier. If you see a guy in kimono looking like the most busted up samurai you've ever seen, thats me!
who wants to hang out?
>>10970663E
>>10970666Alright cool!
Do I add women from the main server and private DM them to meet up?
>>10970707yes! that's a great idea!
>>10970707Send them unsolicited photographs of your genitalia
>>10970611https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_War
cgl acen has been crap ever since the site shut down for 2 months. The thread a year prior was the best. Wish I would had been here for the years I attended.
>>10970719>>10970717There's one I've been eyeing.... She's yummy looking.
post 'em bros
I'm still looking for hotels due to staying late at the rave
anyone going to the friday meetup at the rosemont blue line station?we're gonna stand outside of it and smoke weed and kiss eachother (sloppy style)
>>10970773I don't smoke weed
>>10970773sounds like a meetup for troons and fags. i'll pass
My dick is vibrating rn
>cracked 200 before the kickoffThis is it, Midwest /cgl/. We carry the flame
>>10970625I did get this video from last year. Guess its a good time to share it. I did drop by your last set in VRChat for at least the start of it.
>>10970726Who? Kinda curious how much you'll get shot down.
>>10970580happy to see you arround (here), tell the chinese moot that why he let /his/ die like that
>>10970773What meetup?
>>10970861>he doesnt know about the meetupit's exactly as I said and described.I dont know how much clearer I can be
>>10970832this fucking thread was made in november bro...
>>10970881What meetup??
This is my first time going to Acen so I'm unfamiliar with the layoutis this all one building, or is it 2 different buildings across the street from eachother?And as for some of the idol showcase and live show, and Oriana's drag show, where are they held? Live event rooms 1 and 2?Thank you
>>10970773Who is we >>10970793Perfect I’m in
>>10970896It's at 10:30 PM, at the Rosemont Blue Line station where we'll just smoke and kiss (sloppy style) on Friday>>10970954You know, us
>>10970948It's 2 buildings literally across the street from eachother.They're connected by a literal mile-long skywalk that half the time smells dank and doesnt even have working AC.Otherwise you can cross the street but ACEN doesn't rent out the diner they have on the hotel side, so your walking around the outside of the convention center anyways.The schedule will tell you where it is, and you just have to find it.If it has a fucked up name, it's in the Hyatt. If its "live events" it's in the convention center.If its a BIG event its at the Hyatt.
>>10970958I’m showing up anyways sorry chud!
Are we going to all get hantavirus
>>10970994only if we're lucky
>>10970964Where is the badge pickup
>>10971020donald e stevenson convention center, its a big gray building with a red and a gold stripe along it. you enter from the west
>>10971020you stupid?it's literally on the map...
>>10971020In this map >>10970948 the C dip in the map by Live Events Ballrooms/Convention Registration at River Road is the entrance (kind of weird it's not marked on here)
The fomo is setting even though I pull up in about 3 hours and know nothing's happening yet
any saturday meetups?
>>10971037yeah, a ton just look at the guidebook bro
Bringing my polariod again, but im out of film for it. Should I bother getting film for it? stuff is expensive.
New Cosplay group i was supposed to meet and get lunch with yesterday ghosted me and only after i left mention that they where at the place 2:30 hours before the agreed time and now today absolutely nobody is responding to me again. I think imma just go home and cry now instead. Saturday at the Hololive shoot was going to be my first time cosplaying at a con
If a transsexual shared her drugs with me I would fold instantly
>>10971088>Letting retards ruin your con experiencethis is why when I go with friends I tell them "Im going to do my own thing, your welcome to tag along but you can also leave if yuo want"Also come to the hololive shoot you faggot.
Shots?
Where is the hentai room located?
>>10971088If you want to meet people in general, trying using the MeetUp app. Here are 2 group meetups.
Why are there so little Japanese guests now?
>>10971109they finally got scared away after what that autist did to that Kuroko's seiyuu last year
I'm gonna see if this "girl" I met yesterday would like to meet today and let me give >her a kiss.
>>10971110What happened last year?
According to /a/ this anime is funded by the UN
Why are all the lines stalled?
>>10971114It probably is but I love it anyways.
>fucked up the concert queue time>fucked up the queue itself>fucked up the bag policies twice>fucked up the VIP autographs that people paid $150 for>fucked up badge pickup today>only halfway through
>>10971112Same boat. Happy chasing to you
Trannies & their chasers meetup when?
>>10971103I strait up don't even want to go back into the con, its a Hololive group i was apart of so theres no way im going just for it. right now we’re supposed to have met up and get ready together and i have not been told where or asked where i am.
when will pippa borderline erp with me while playing mahjong again like last year
>>10971123>>10971121Let's have a chaser meet up real quick?
>>10971123>>10971121jvnkur on disc if anyone wanna meet up or 4chan solo meet upI'm >>10971112
>>10971120>>10971124>>10971088Come hang out with me and more people >>10971127
>every year try to find the most unapologetic brazen and bright anime girl shirt possible>every year leave disappointedYes I could probably find them online or in Japan itself or something but that's against the spirit and point
>>10971123>>10971126>>10971127Is there a Reimu among you? if so I'm in
>>10971124You want some company and booze? All my friends are off doing shopping and photos, I've got nothing to do till the hololive meetup.
>>10971120First time at ACEN? It's kind of a miracle the con runs at all given how dysfunctional everything tends to be
>>10971124Boo hoo, don't let it go to waste. Find more people. Don't waste your time. Go party if everything else fails.
We’re having a few drinks at Hyatt 2nd floor, come by and join us. Feel free if you’re solo or looking to make friends. Look for someone with a red wig on
>>10971141Better still be there in 30 when I drag my unc ass over there or I'm going to end up harrassing every Teto cosplayer.
>>10971143>>10971127Add this guy if you need instructions

What food options are there after 11-12?
Snacks looks old as fuck
>>10971152The older the better
anyone wanna meetup
>>10971124>Hololive groupwas it the kiggy's? I'll kick their plastic heads in for you anon.Those were really the only "groups" I saw, if not then its the holostar fags.Anyways, you should have gone instead of playing a pity party for yourself bro. It was fun and I coulda been your friend through our bonds of vtubers
Not a single kiss from a femboy, my life is a joke
The FictionJunction concert was fucking amazing.That is all.
>>10971158>>10971123>>10971121were you guys successful? The one I was talking to on Friday ignored me Saturday. :(
>>10971159It was but also sad she didn't do Akatsuki No Kuruma.
>>10971152So what did he end up playing?
>>10971157It was in fact them yes. I couldn't go out on my own, I had a panic attack trying as last year when i did try solo i got cornered and harassed not 30 seconds out from my room and that not one of them have checked on me at all dispute me telling them in our discord is just awesome. I ended up staying with other kig group who hear about it whats going on from a non attending kig friend
>>10971167Sorry, that reads like dogshit i just woke up.
>>10971167Oh wow the kiggers acted like gay retards what a fucking surprise
Anyone know what the deal with those cosplayers roaming around in like full uniforms or combat gear and also carrying painted but basically full on airsoft or replica guns?I thought I read in the program and other policies that not only does Acen not allow guns of any kind even fake or airsoft, the city of Chicago doesn't even let you no matter if it's painted or not? Am I misunderstanding something here?
>>10971176Most of us have just been doing it for a while, I’ve been cosplaying girls with guns for like 7 years and I don’t really plan on changing that. If im in full cosplay and want to have a prop gun that’s my god given right and no con janny will take that from me
>>10971178But what about the local Chicago police since it's a law that owning even deactivated fakes, no matter how much they're painted or orange tipped, are illegal?
>>10971123>didn’t get chasedI’m so chopped
>>10971180so you're telling me it's illegal in chicago to have this despite even how orange all over it is? huh?
>>10971181It’s okay girl me neither
>>10971180I don’t know, the rosemont cops around here saw me a bunch and never said shit. Tbf the bans are for Chicago only, so the suburbs are different? That being said I had no clue Chicago banned replicas that’s so cucked
>>10971182>>10971185Yes it's beyond cucked. I don't know the full story but it is so cucked.
>>10971182The thought seems to be that it's too realistic looking even with the coloring
The real post-con depression is while it still happening. looking at how empty and low energy Sunday gets>>10971163with my first attempt, no. The second one, yes
>>10971187>>10971186>>10971185>>10971182Are there any actual Chicagoans here who know and can explain?
>>10971189Lucky! Bro got to kiss >her!
Shoutouts to whoever yelled "around snacks never relax!" at me at the rave on the off chance shes browsing this thread. Ur very attractive btw
>>10971190Rosemont isn’t part of Chicago dumbass
Damn this thread moved slow. Three years ago it was peak. 4chan shut down killed this.
I'm considering AX
>>10971189Ended up missing the final day because I had to go to a baseball team with the family. I always thought the Cubs were better but it looks like it the White Sox. That ending was like something out of baseball anime.
Post con depression is hitting me so hard again this year. Going back home and having nobody
Bitch needs to stop eating
>>10971216Nobody cares you fat retard
>>10971167sorry to hear that bro. What were you kigging as if I may ask?
ATTENTION: I SAW THE FINN CHECKING OUT HENTAI EARLIER, HE'S NOTHING BUT A PERVERT!!!!(The military meetup was very cool, if you, the finn organized it, your a cool guy)
>>10971176The Finns probably deactivated panzerfaust got through security you’re fine>>10971219Most perverted thing I saw him buy was essentially letting one of the workers at Hen Da Ne humor him at Cad 2024 in his panzer outfit. If I remember correctly:“Anything that interests you officer, we have it”Finn: “You have anything that matches the fit?”“One moment”He was presented with what a believe was some SS battle maid doujin? Had some red eyed maid styled girl on the front with a gun and the lightning bolts on the cover. Genuine awe of how smooth it was, he bought it on the spot.Other than that he mostly browses for art books that are sometimes hidden amongst the boxes.>>10971211My feet hurtAlright let’s commence forth with dumping con images into the thread
>>10971220Post your rarest most unexpected cosplays For me I'd have to give it to this ladyI honestly was so blindsided when I saw it, I didn't even know people knew what digimon was anymore in 2026. And for good reason. I bet she was walking around with people thinking she was some sort of gacha game character or something
>>10971221I didn’t get a photo but I saw a haruhi which made me happy. I saw someone else post photos of a chrysalis mlp cosplayer and that made me happy too.
>>10971220From the official discordSeems like this lured out more than we thought existed in the IP. What do we call the others?Saying the nationality kinda doesn’t work now.
>>10971221Holy shit that’s amazingDid anyone get a picture of Triple T? There’s only been one I’ve seen with Reimu
>>10971212*Bitch needs to eat more.
>>10971223Haruhi in 2026 is a comforting sight to see. Someone has to keep that S3 hope alive
>>10971212She’s perfect nothing more nothing less>>10971216Someone post on the wrong board or something? Doesn’t look /cgl/ related
>>10971221I saw a different Angewomon earlier this year at ALA. Also Digimon got a boost because of that new game.>>10971223I got my friend who has never seen Haruhi before to watch it. Haruhi cosplay today are like cryptids.
>>10971239>Also Digimon got a boost because of that new game.Is it good? Is that why suddenly people remember it?
>>10971240I didn't play it myself but it was pretty popular, especially when everyone was dunking on that Pokemon game; though one friend said it's tailor made for Digimon fans.Here's the Angewomon in question.https://www.instagram.com/yeye.cos/
>>10971241Holy fucking shit 11/10
>>10971239next you need to get them to read itHonestly the Theater of Suzumiya Haruhi was, forgive the near pun, absolute cinema.I wish even if we don't get a proper S3 we can at least get an OVA for the Theater it was that good
>>10971245> not only is it recent, it's 2024 recentWow, I fell off a while ago and I'm surprised it's still going.
>>10971248True Haruhists will never give up and never lose the faith.
>>10971218Tokoyami Towa from Hololive
>>10971152>Snacks looks old as fuckBruh most the OG 4chan group is 35-40
>>10971195>>10971187>>10971186>>10971185>>10971182lmao cuckcago
>>10971259I feel like there's some falsehoods or general confusion in this whole conversation so far. Just look at >>10971224 and >>10971212 nothing happened to them. Nobody got arrested, there's nothing illegal. I don't know where this myth is being perpetuated.
>>10971250>Towa Kigyou werent the dude who had Towa merch at the con were you? Literally the ONLY guy with Towa Merch?Cause if you were, I fucking HATE you for not bringing your Towa Kig out you mother fucker. You BETTER bring that kig out for Anime Magic bro.we NEED more vtuber enjoyers in this scene.
>>10971221angewoman is EXTREMELY common gooner cosplay now you fucking tard
>>10971282The fuck? How? What made it resurge? Zoomers don't know what fucking Digimon is.
>>10971276Some Towa merch but my bag is mostly Faumei( I also had the official bibi hat on most of the week). I might be going to ANYC not so sure rn because while im a lot more calm now it was overall such a dog shit week i might just call off con session this year
well for my second acen that went much better than last time. And better than any others I've been to so far this year. Allah willing, I will finally make it to magic
>>10971291Why magic
>>10971292cuz it's the last notable Chicago con I've never been to, people seem to like it and I'm not interested in Kopfcons. Nothing political, just don't like him. Simple as
>>10971289Anon, if you come to magic and wear your Towa kig, if I see you I will befriend you (maybe).don't make me beg
>>10971293I dont like Kopf I think he's a greasy, fat, creepy weirdo.But sometimes his cons like Con Alt Delete are actually very fun.Midwest is a tossup between "panels for literal children" or "actual fun con with interesting things to do"The ONLY thing Midwest does that I like is renting out the Expoterra restaurant.
>>10971224>>10971220the finn is a cool dude, I talked to him like a year or 2 ago about his cosplay and he's autistic (the good kind).If he was the dude hosting the militaria meetup I want him to know it's appreciated because I like military cosplays (especially historic ones) at cons.
>>10971221>rarest cosplayI saw an SS13 cosplay (but the fag said it was from SS14 instead) which was cool.I also saw the final princess from Castle Crashers (the clown one)
I'm considering cross dressing. I wanna bag a tranny
>>10971300Can confirm he organized the meetup. I believe it’s the first one he ever did. Seeing the success of this, which he feared that it would either be full of the ‘black tacticals’ which I believe to be his description of the generic airsoft/Cod people. Or no one showing up at all. The Finn plans to do more, which is great. I liked his preparation in making sure everyone is documented and will be able to see the photos once posted. (unlike some other people).We simply need more people like him, /k/ has blessed us with the Finn.
>>10971299>>10971302duality of /cgl/
>>10971212she should go back to the trailer park
>>10971167Kigger please, I've seen the messages. You literally just demanded that someone escort your princess self from a hotel no one else was staying at to the meet on rather short notice, then raged when everyone else was busy getting ready.Though most those acen holo kigs are incredibly self absorbed even by kig standards, theres reason many other kigs dont really fuck with them. No comment on the harassment bit, you might need to git gud and stop looking so male when in kig.
>>10971306Which duality?
>>10971309Wouldn't say asking since wed to meet with anyone so i can figure out whats going on short notice but mkay. Nor did i “rage” at anyone i had a legit panic attack, damn near tore my hada off. i didn't tell anyone what happened last year bc it wasn't appropriate to put that on the group but the vicim blaming is a nice touch, thanks. So tell me strait Joy, do you all want me out or not? Not the nice lip servicey horseshit after the con is over about how everyone was just soooo busy because every single other person was coordinated together just fine. Even if you want to try to claim i didnt give enough notice on Saturday 9:30 AM is a lot of fucking time and then i tried to offer to go over to you all at 3
>>10971319And to be clear i am perfectly fine letting this whole week just be water under the bridge, shit happens Its fine i have no intention of holding this over anyone or to continue bringing it up in the server. my problems aren’t yours or anyone else from the groups. All i want is a sorry from literally any one person or that they should have tried to communicate better. It shouldn't have taken someone who wasn’t even at the convention dm’ing an entirely different group for any movement to have happened
>>10971319really your only mistake was trying to be friendly with other people and ask for a handler.Which I assume your a first time kig if your asking.If not, then kinda weird and you should know when you need a handler atleast. Plus the comment about "just going home" makes the entire chat awkward bro.But overall nothing detrimental unless you DID throw a random fit and your just not showing it.
>>10971321I live extremely close by so me going home was not really a big thing, i didnt end up leaving i tried to go out solo and thats when it got real bad. The messages i cut out from that day was the other groups person pinging me to check dms, while simultaneously me informing the group i had a panic attack trying to go out solo. Next day trying one last time to meet and get things hashed out and then just trying to figure out what the hell happened, why I was ignored the whole time. My last message is the only time i mention in the group i had a really bad acen last year so thats why i needed help.I should feel bad about posting the groups msgs but fuck it, it’s almost all just me.
>>10971309Actually you know what. I am actually going to keep the vicim blaming part on you though. You can DM me an apology over that directly bc you clearly know who i am or im turning it into a whole server problem. Everything else, is whatever people get busy ya I'm sad but I’ll get over it. Multiple in the group already know don't try running to a mod and get me targeted.
>>10971307>>10971212Why is this whore clothed and naked at the same time?
Lmao kigger drama
>>10971330the tacticrap normies take turns plapping her and sometimes she forgets to put the shitty outfit back on
>>10971350thats kinda hot ngl, it's an obvious tell that she just got a train ran on her and is freshly filled with cum
>>10971349more juicy than the regular drama we get unironically.I hope the Towa Kigger finds a handler cause I wanna see his kig, and that he stops being so sensitive.
>>10971330That’s peak wdym
>>10971358I hope I never have to see another kigger again in my life
>>10971360Ideally cons will filter them all out, kigs thrive more in their private meet ups anyways lol
>>10971360kigs are cool. But the people (much like furries) who wear them are so far up their own ass for something they just commission it's insane.Same with some 3D Printer fags, like YOU didn't craft shit, all YOU did was upload a file and hit "start" on the printer bro.
>>10971364I model my own prints fuck you anon!
Can we stop arguing and post funny images
So many white women with their tiny flat ass out
>>10971372I saw a couple slam pigs that i'd 100% have my way with and only use for con hookups.
>>10971372first con?
>Go to an anime screening>the door of the screening is left open the entire time>light is shining onto the proctor and can hear everyone in the lobby>leave after 15 minutes Are all con anime screenings like this? I don’t know how anyone would willingly watch something like that.
>>10971381close the door retardbut yes they're all like that because con goers dont respect anime (especially if its some shit that everyones seen 1,000 times)
>>10971372Good I hope there’s more next year so I can ogle them
I bonded with a girl(man) at the hentai pannel(secret room)
>>10971191It's been a few years so I forgot just how overrun ACEN is with crossplayers. My favorite type to hang around platonically and more-than-platonically
later virgins
I got to touch her thighs. Omg they're soft.
Resident karaoke gull here. I didn't even make it in this year cuz on Friday, they capped entries after only 2 hours and I was too busy Saturday. It woulda been hella gay. Thankfully, bro at the room party pulled up with his karaoke machine and saved the day
>>10971509No one invited to a room party wyf
I went just to see if I could catch a glimpse of my ftm waifu but didn't see her just a bunch of weirdos in bad outfits
>>10971165wapanese music
>>10971613How do you feel about moot being in the Epstein files?
>>10971622Who’s moot?
>>10971613Gonna be real with you, couldn't figure out half the songs you were playing during the rave because of the bass. Otoh our whole group started missing your set after ape escape man's AI sumo men came on
Did anyone here get a photo of me and my fiancée as the main couple from Hi Score Girl?
>>10971613why did you get tung tung sahur kicked out of the rave bro?
>>10971678shoulda said something earlier
welp, good con.See you fags for Midwest and Magic
>>10971613Snacks is actually back wowee
>>10971613was cool to see you in vrchat then acen. your opening was better than the next guy.
>>10971714Yeah, I shoulda. Ah well, maybe next year.
>>10972077The guy after snacks sucked so bad i left the rave for an hour. Weird AI sumo wrestlers and AI beats.
>>10972114AI visuals != AI musicall the music that Soichi Terada performed live was made in the NINTIES lmao, including music from the soundtrack to the Playstation game Ape Escape>>10972077lmao I figured that was you, I noticed the avatar at the beginning of the set
>>10972155maybe you can dj for /vrg/ at somepoint.
