I figured I'd make one. I only ever come back for cons I'm going to. Any of you men going? Yeah I know it's expensive. And mostly drunk. But I enjoy the atmosphere and laying by the pool during the day. I've been serious on the diet and exercise train. Should be looking good enough for my Krauser cosplay in a month.
>>10912418Agreed on all counts.Colossalcon is really starting to go down the shitter. And for those of you that are thinking East may be better, it definitely isn't. I won't go on a long rant about East here since it's kinda off topic, but suffice to say it has plenty of problems and the con head completely ignores all of them. The Poconos staff absolutely hates the convention and its attendees and they do more things every year to fuck with them.DESU I feel like there are some really simple things that could be done to greatly improve the convention at both locations, but con management just doesn't care and won't make even the smallest amount of effort to do anything.Colossalcon was the fucking best, and it makes me sad that it's gotten to the point where I'm not even sure it's worth going to anymore.
>>10912466I used to think that was a meme but the staff really does hate the con. Got to talk it out with a gym bro bartender my last year there. Basically they hate how the con attendees treat the hotel, the water Park, how there is no self control and no respect.
>>10912544Yeah, it's gotten really obvious at this point, at least at the Poconos location for CCE (I haven't been to "Prime").In all fairness, I can understand some of their staff's point of view, and I'd probably fucking hate con attendees too if I were them.The thing is, there are parts of every job that people don't like, and in most places you just gotta shut up and deal with it.But Colossalcon management/staff are content to act like giant cunts about everything and shit on us at every opportunity.Would be nice if the con head would do SOMETHING about ANYTHING, but it's clear that isn't likely to ever happen.
>>10912565Colossal con just has to much notoriety. It's known as THEE party con so it's always going to attract those idiots who are just there to party and get fucked up. Lucky there is still enough actual nerds to keep them in check and not have it overrun with drunken fratters.
Its only con that has an actually legit artist alley. And a adult artist alley. I mean that is just amazing.I think the guest they get for how big they are is just a joke. Like you got the money to pull big names and you keep getting shit.

>>10912758what were you planning on cosplaying?
>>10912760Coincidentally I was planning on a genderbent cosplay myself. I rewatched PSG in anticipation of the new TRIGGER season - had a lightbulb moment as to how I'd do a bent Stocking75% of it is in my room waiting but some of the big items that need modification haven't turned up yet.
>>10912762psg = panty and stocking with garterbelt?
>>10912769you got it anon
>>10912780ah it was never my kind of anime, it looks too much like power puff girls. I'm all about that beautiful artwork.
Looks suspiciously the previous OP pic but with a new account
>>10912671it'll probably go over 1k honestly it's met>>10912671a gobelin set what do you expect
>>10912671 #it'll probably go over 1k honestlyit's meta gobelin set what do you expect
>>10912696If we could have mods ban scalpers & resellers i think the world would be a better place. They arent even profiting off of them, unless theyre slipping them money under the table, so whats the fucking point??
>>10912770>they aren't even profiting off of themHow dumb are you?
>>10912807she means the mods aren't profiting off scalpers. why are you confused?
post pics of cosplayers interacting with some random breed of comic writer/artist/creator here(it’s all about the contrast)
ngl i'm surprised that's what rob liefeld really looks like
>>10910873Holy shit Tara has pretty big implants, but she looks pretty normal standing next to those two
short
>>10910849this one's pretty recent:
I know I'm embarrassing myself here, but Hayter's a sweetheart, we ended up shooting the shit for like 15 minutes because I was the only one in line.
Years ago, when cosplay started getting popular, but also sexual, I remember being a big fan of a certain cosplayer. They turned out to be quite rude to their fans, and I was left being disappointed by it. Later as the years went by, I came upon information that her cosplay hype died down, her twitch and vtuber arc couldn't lift off the ground, and she lost her twitter verification, and just isn't popular anymore. Basically what I'm trying to say in this thread is; fuck that whore. But also how has the cosplay community/scene been? Has it gotten more slutty? Worse? Better? Are people chill, or rude? Tell me your experiences from before (5-10 years ago) v.s now.
this thread is helping me relieve a personal crisis I had at holomat 2023. Maybe people really are less friendly now? I went there to get some gifts for my wife and her sister's birthday but I also expected the old con experience I'd have in like 2014 or some shit. It never mattered that I was alone because I could always chat up strangers at the bar, often times ones that were unrelated to the con. For example my wife brought me to a MLP convention I had no interest in so I ended up spending the evening shooting shit with an elderly german woman there for her daughters and a maintenance guy that just got off his shift at the hotel. Typically at anime cons I end up chatting a bunch of different people up and get invited to room parties and shit.not at 2023 holomat. Everyone felt so unapproachable. Like I was getting iced out of even looking at a stranger's direction. Even at the bar people were sequestered into their cliques. I just chalked it up to my social skills getting rusty post pandemic but I had a minor freakout about the extroverted part of my personality being blunted somehow, maybe with age. like I stopped being this person that could make a total stranger smile no problem. Not going to say it's all the atmosphere changing, there were some people that felt friendly but I was to shy to even say hi and read the vibe from there.
>>10912575>I just chalked it up to my social skills getting rusty post pandemic The pandemic fucked over all our social skills. Some people got rusty, others forgot how to engage with society. Everyone is more angry and afraid. We all have collective social trauma now and hardly anyone talks about it. It really bothers me that it's not discussed...
>>10912582>It really bothers me that it's not discussed...literally everything about the pandemic has been memoryholed and it makes me both sad and angry because the worst effects of it were on youth who all have literally stunted development>>10912575yes it's it's really sad how nowadays it's considered weird to try to talk to strangers, and i practically never see anyone younger than like 35 anywhere in public anymore
>>10912575Different con, same experience. It was like everyone who was there had come with their friends and intended on not talking to anyone who wasn't already a friend.I've noticed the same trend online in the past few years though. People act like it's crazy, stalkerish or creepy if a random stranger comes across their public blog/twitter/whatever and posts a comment, or if someone tries to send them a private message. Hell, I've even noticed the level of interaction on Discord has lessened in the past 2 years - when someone writes something people are now just clicking a button to send an emote instead of actually writing a response, so the servers all die due to no actual conversations happening. Young people see no problem with this as they don't know any different.
>>10912748for discord, it doesn't help that all the big servers are run by power tripping mods who instantly kill any "off topic" discussion, the "no memes in #general" is the best example of this
>covid is over>too shy to cosplay without a mask
>>10912242Read the OP again. Slowly this time.
>>10907364YWNBAW
>>10907364know what you need?
>>10912244If 162cm 47kg is fat, then sure.
>>10908739cosplay is a hobby with a lot of leftists who love virtue signaling. covid related stuff like masks, social distancing, vaccines, are the ultimate form of virtue signaling because you are literally saving lives and those who don't are literally killing people I despise these people because they made conventions a no-go zone for 3 years
Thread for good cosplays that are suggestive but still for a blue board (no nudity)
>>10907158Who is she? She's cute even if the cosplay is inaccurate, mostly the pants
>>10912614Tsukides
>>10912623
>>10912614The way everyone wears their pants/panties in the comic is too comically low rise to actually be comfortable and has a super high risk of having a wardrobe malfunction.
>>10912743>has a super high risk of having a wardrobe malfunctionthat makes it even better
Well hello, Florida Seagulls. It's been a slower year here, but I know you're out there and you know I'm out there. Our local scene keeps on with one location change after the other doesn't it?

>>10912782Are you coming to oktakufest? 2022 was fun
>>10912787You know it. Otaku 22 was godtier from start to finish
>>10912787>>10912797...Oh and I'm gonna take a picture at Otaku of a busy hallway during peak hours on Saturday. Once Super rolls around, I'll do it again at the same place and time. Then the mogging will be officially complete
>>10912776I might switch up and let my fancy take me the next time I run to the liquor store but last time I brought gin, absinthe, kalua, triple sec, vodka, tequila, and bourbon. Usually also get lemons, limes, grapefruit juice, orange juice, soda water, and granulated sugar. I might experiment a bit, though.Any of the handful of people at the AWA /cgl/ meetup last year could vouch for me.
>>10912812Are you a high school girl?
Marin (and variations) and Yor were the obvious FOTM cosplays for last con season. What are your predictions for this year? My predictions:>Yor spillover from last year>a fuckton of Kobeni and Makima>Mitsuri from Demon Slayer (her arc comes out in spring)>Vash Stampede for guys
>>10830655I'm not sure if it will take off with regular congoers, but I could see some of the more complex costumes getting popular in the competitions.
you guys sure noone will get ye olde Holo cosplay back out?
>>10912520Just thinking at the original anime that brough Spicy Wolf to western attention was like 15 years ago. People who cosplayed Holo or Lawrence then would be like in their 30s to 40s now and probably no longer fitting in the costumes.
>>10912520LOL im probz bringing holo to otakon and katsucon
>>10910150>Then again, not a lot of people would be willing to openly say how they are a fan of this anime would they?normies think this is a pedo show so yeah you're not gonna see many cosplays, doesn't help how exposed it is (i wish modesty laws weren't a thing desu)
Previous thread: >>10897117The Flower Kitten series is releasing this week
>>10911794this looks good. i wish they did more white with pink lace pieces though.
Next saturday should have this
>>10911799sax is the best colorway, are they stupid?
>>10911799Do we have any idea why this print specifically has been re-released a billion times? Is it China's favorite print or something?
>>10912784No, it's not super popular there.My personal theory is somehow the fabric printing order got fucked up and AP wound up with like 10x more Melody Toys fabric than they needed. so now they just keep re-releasing it to use up all the extra. That would also explain why the color selection has gotten more and more limited through all the billion releases they've done, bc they're gradually running out of the excess fabric.
Discussion and analysis of CAP & SNK cosplayers.Post cosplayers names if you know them.Also Event & Year of pic.
>>10906883Not at all. EVO has tons of games being played other than Street Fighter and there would be tons of Capcom fans there that would appreciate seeing them. Although it would probably be more well-received if the character was at least from a fighting game in some regard.
>>10822930wish i could dwarfmaxx like this
Old thread hit bump limit.My comm president is having her 40th birthday tomorrow. Wtf, I would have guessed she was like 25, but she has 2 kids who both cosplay Sonic th Headgod chracter
>>10910770Anon, I'd do the same thing. I've never been into Miku or any Vokaloid shit, but I know who she is and I've seen tons of cosplays of her online already. So I'd compliment you but not take your picture unless I was taking one out of politeness since you took mine.
>>10911214Anime and cosplay are practically mainstream now. At least, you're probably not gonna get fired for it anymore. Just ask the guy if he's into anime since you saw someone who looked liked him in a costume. Best workplace of my life was when I finally dropped my shields and let my coworkers know I was a mega anime nerd, turns out several coworkers who didn't seem like the anime type at all were into the same niche series as me.
>>10911338Even if it used to be a super popular cosplay, if it's rare now you still get that huge nostalgia hit when you see them. I wish I could go to a con just full of 80s and 90s anime cosplayers. I wanna be surrounded by Lains, Shinjis, Spikes and Ranmas.
>>10912588>If I could live somewhere where women aren't allowed to wear pants I would move there.Saudi Arabia beckons you
>>10912792>Lains, Shinjispopular on tiktok>Spikes and Ranmasstill oldfag material
Anyone going to this?I might go to the one in Toronto on May 17.Sorry if this is the wrong board. I saw Anime Convention threads so I thought it might be okay.
Yeah this is the right board to post this at, but my guy/girl/xor enby you may NOT want to go to this. If you haven't seen all the drama surrounding Miku Expo 2024, basically Miku Expo as it was know is no more. It's just a screen now. As in, it's literally just a screen in the middle of a stage, not a hologram. Not worth it AT ALL, not even or the vibes.
>>10912422I don't know anything about the drama... was it always a hologram before? How come it's no longer one? Cost-cutting?
>>10912445>was it always a hologram before? yes>How come it's no longer one? Cost-cutting?yes, blame Crunchyroll
