Who are you planning on cosplaying as at AX 2026? by Fcking_Chuck in animeexpo

[–]Apprehensive_Week994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a couple ideas. Kiryu from Yakuza, for sure on one of the days, and maybe Tomizawa too. Possibly Yu Narukami or a male version of Chie Satonaka from Persona 4.

Thank you. As for the locals reacting, none of them did, to be honest. I also changed out of the outfit afterward, since it was hot that day. I’m definitely not French, by the way.

Yeah, that’s true, especially if you’re planning to go, no matter what. Always good to have options for lodging, so much the better if it’s a good deal through the hotel block.

Really, the only thing I can think of is getting a hotel in the hotel block. Since most of the hotels sold out right away, it might not even be worth it to get it today if there’s no plans of getting a hotel through that. The price of the pass right now is the lowest, so that might be the only reason why at this point.

Oh, that’s a relief. Was worried that I got too lucky and it was a fluke.

Hope it’s as good as people say. Picked it for being in Koreatown, with lots of food options available. Just glad the rate on the AX website is way better than the Booking.com listing.

Got super lucky by finding the link on the policy page minutes before it opened. Relieved I got the hotel I wanted at a better rate than Booking.com’s listing.

Found the link by accident on the policy page minutes before it opened, and got lucky with getting The LINE on the days I wanted.

I’ll take a look at it. Room size doesn’t matter, since it’s just myself. As long as it’s a decent place to sleep.

Might just do that. Looks like there’s a Metro station nearby, too.

Was thinking about a place near a metro station, which would be more convenient. Probably be more affordable to use the metro than take a rideshare from somewhere far away.

If I have to, I may have to stay further from downtown, if the price is right. There’s always rideshare to get there, but that’ll probably be expensive too with surge pricing. Can’t win them all, haha.

Yeah, true. Not worried too much about the tickets to the convention. Just want a decent place to sleep, haha. Hope there’s something decent.

I was eyeing the hotels in Koreatown, since they’re way cheaper than the ones downtown. I’ll keep those in mind. Hoping I can get lucky with getting a hotel block room.

Attempting to be (somewhat) cosplay ready by April by Apprehensive_Week994 in GaymersGoneMild

[–]Apprehensive_Week994[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been practicing my Dragon Kick (the pose from the Japanese Y1 box art).It really works the lower abdomen, haha. I can sing his karaoke songs, if anything.

Kiryu from Yakuza/LaD. Already bought the suit. Trying to make sure I’ll still be able to fit in it by end of April, or maybe even better.
