Have many anime cons outgrown their current convention centers / venues?Anime Expo and Katsucon both seem at their limit
How did Otakon do in DC? Haven't been since like 2016 or something.
>>10909918Daniel?
I know that's why Anime Weekend Atlanta had to swap venues. I'm gonna miss that convention center!
>>10909959Nope, Anime Boston recently signed contracts keeping them in the Hynes currently up to 2028. It's also been said that the BCEC layout/configuration does not align to what Anime Boston wants to do/offer.
>>10911461It shrank down to about 24,900 in 2017-first year in DC, climbed up to about 28,500 in 2018 & 2019. Coming back from COVID in 2021, it shrank down to 25,564 despite only having a masking requirement. It climbed to about 40,500 in 2022 (in part due to AnimeNEXT's issues in 2022) and to about 42,000 in 2023.
So I'm trying make the weapons in pic related and I was wondering what materials I should use.
>>10910692Real metal. Go hard or go home.
I've only seen one thread on this in the past, but it's getting into the peak time of year soon so why not see if there's any interest.>favorite designs/tailmakers (fin fun, mertailor, fin folk)>fabric tails vs silicone>the actual exercise component of swimming with a monofinI know there are mers on here and I'm trying to actually take the plunge and get a tail this year.
>>10904973Really wish I could have gotten one of the merbella ones. Sigh.
>it's summer againAny plans?
>>10913849Workout until i attain my ideal merman body
>>10913849Trying to organize a big swim meetup for all the mermaids in my area at a pretty area, a very nice natural spring... but it's several hours away so not sure how many people will end up coming. Me and one other mermaid are committed but I have the feeling a lot of people saying "yes!" right now are going to bail closer to the date. But even if it's just us two we'll still enjoy it at least.I'm also trying to make more jewelry for myself. Bracelets and such out of cultured pearl beads, so I can stop using plastic ones when I swim.
Heya /cgl/! I made the decision to give cosplaying a try. I cant describe how much i enjoyed it, especially because im a very extroverted person. What do you guys think of my first cosplay? :]
>>10898637>even when cosplaying a CRT they still dress like slutstiresome
I'm going to do my first cosplay soon too.
>>10909969Me too anonTomorrow in fact
>>10909969>>10909995what did y'alls cosplay as?

I just started new journey of cosplay! Please support me on this new journey.
>>10913302I use very good perfume!
>>10913309i fear men on 4chan
>>10913299Looks good.
>>10913299slightly showing your panties, good whorish move
>>10913299>>10913313Looks rad!
Films/tv shows that are based on cosplay/con culture or at least reference it in some way.I felt that 2Kawaii4Comfort was (for better or worse) the most accurate description of going to a small con and having a bad time at it. It's a shame it ended on a cliffhanger.
>>10863278Honestly as someone in the competitive scene this show is like crack to me and my friends. Competitive cosplayers are just /like/ that, the show is spot on with the ridiculousness and how life or death serious people get stressed over it
>>10911577I just finished the first episode and I agree. This is pretty accurate to how intense/emotional some of these people can get with this competition. On that note, the difference between the contestants who are treating the cosplay contest as a life or death situation vs the ones that are having fun with it is night and day. One of the contestant's perfectionism resulted in her completely skipping the competition.
>>10912048Agree, will say it's also super interesting to rewatch the show through the 2024 lens of competitive cosplay, where we have so much more available technology that is the norm in contest cosplays now. Seeing a pre-3d printer competitive scene was great
電車男 (Densha Otoko). Although it's an exaggerated comedy and not directly related to cosplay, it's one of the few series I've seen that still pretty accurately portrayed anime nerds and 4chan-esque culture (there are a couple cosplayers/LARPers featured in it) in many respects. I recommend the TV series over the book.
>>10912087So I'm 5 episodes deep into this show and here are some moments that stood out.1) One contestant wearing wool that she is allergic to. Which made her so sick before a cosplay skit she ended up puking before going on stage, only to do a performance that no one understood or enjoyed.2) Yaya Han having this weird beef with Jessica Nigri over her doing lewd cosplay. It turns out they're friends in real life and the show overdramatized it simply because Jessica didn't want to be on the show.3) Monika Lee saying to another cosplay that "you'd be the last person I'd team up with" was just a dickhead way of going about that. It's fine to not want to collab with people, but she could have had more tact.
I did a jax cosplay and at least 3 women wanted me to fuck them what the fuck is wrong with people.
>>10910877>jaxWho?
>>10912152league of legends character
>>10912152what a hottie!(what r the odds they r both purple)
>>10910877You see that video of the Michael Myers pretending to choke a woman? The look of pure bliss on her face was something.
>>10910877You made them fear for their lives and they tried to preemptively appease you. It's a classic female survival tactic, which is why you see women flock to abusers and psychos.
Lolita aprons: practical, decorative, or costumey?
post hideous dresses
>>10904594holy shit this is awful. i love it. i'd buy it if i came across it
Not ugly, but I swear every single person who's new to lolita owns this thing and I'm getting sick of seeing it in beginner's coords without a blouse, a petticoat, shit accessories (if they're even wearing any) and shit shoes.

>>10910499This thread is an anomaly, it never falls lower than middle of the list. Even newer thread get archived. But this is still page 5 despite no one wrote anything here for far longer time than new posts arrived in new thread. I guess jannies set some flag here or something.
As the new thread get archived (WTF jannies?) and this is still for some misterious reasons active I'm postink link to a newer freshly baked thread >>10911232
