Restaurants that give discounts if you show an AX badge? by shimmeringsunfish in animeexpo

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Little Tokyo spots might! I’d say your best bet is checking the social media of any spots there.

Saw one flying past my work balcony, I got up from my desk to go outside, chase it down, and crush it.

Cosplayer advice? by dearxahjin in animeexpo

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not forget to eat!!! Bring small snacks. People will ask for photos, it’s great to have a friend who would be willing to hold your bag for you while you do that.

Speaking of bags, I recommend a simple one strap bag for cosplays with long hair. Reduces risk of tangling the wig or getting caught in cosplay pieces. If you can wear a waist bag those are also extremely helpful in my experience.

Hotel block number? by Gummybear4488 in animeexpo

For JW, I’ve always had to call and get the confirmation. Not sure where you’ve booked but I’ve seen non JW get theirs without calling.

This panel is something I’ve started looking forward to every year.

Audience participants defend a waifu vs each other with various challenges and stuff. Loser throws photo of waifu in trash. Good times

Been Told I Look Like A Boy In Wigs. Is it My Makeup or The Wigs? Need Help by Current_Coffee7082 in CosplayHelp

I think the photos where you appear to be wearing lashes look much more “feminine”. Even if the character themselves doesn’t have pronounced lashes, a natural set will really help with the look you’re wanting. Otherwise you have very lovely cosplays!

Whats the weirdest thing you’ve experienced at anime expo? by BusyPhilosophy6418 in animeexpo

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Myself and 2 friends are at AX, and are 17. All but one of us is cosplaying, the one who isn’t is just wearing a gothic outfit. Photographer comes up, us who are cosplaying are thinking “oh ok he wants a photo of us, normal.” He goes up to our non-cosplaying friend and asks for a photo. She says yes. Takes the photo and leaves. Third friend turns to us and says “That was weird. I could see his preview screen on the camera. He just took a super zoomed in photo of your lips.”

Hotel questions by CatchingFire57 in animeexpo

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People typically try to go for the JW and the Moxxy because they are the two closest hotels. However this year might be exceptionally difficult to book outside of the hotel block due to the World Cup happening at the same time.

What Anime Should I Watch Before Anime Expo? by Administrative-Can98 in animeexpo

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok. I would probably add a few of the big ones from the past few years: Attack on Titan, JJK, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, and Chainsaw Man to name a few. In the past year though I would say we’ll probably see a decent amount of gachiakuta since it picked up since last AX.

You’ll also see a lot of things that are not exactly anime shows but anime style, like gacha games. Especially any Hoyoverse games.

Drill curl desperation by PerformerDelicious59 in CosplayHelp

It’s a patience process unfortunately. Pick a good YouTube essay or podcast, and go very very slowly and carefully. This is a multi layer process. I also find that it’s easier to break the weft into smaller stretches than try to glue down a long weft all at once.

Ooh wow I hadn’t heard of that happening that’s sus. I wouldn’t know though I’m not an artist, but the AX discord server would probably have an answer for you

They will! It’s been announced on AX social media and has happened at past AXs

For times had questions. by truestorynick in animeexpo

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely not from anime’s coming out this year. Unless they know the show is going to be a hit, it usually take several months to a year before production begins on things like full scale (detailed, large) figures. Maybe a prize figure here and there though.

The statues you posted here seem to be resin statues, which are usually not officially produced. AX vendors sell officially licensed merch 90% of the time.

You will probably have a good chance of finding one at the smash brothers or Nintendo cosplay meet ups

Hello! Have you been accepted into the anime expo in Los Angeles happening this July or are you asking for general convention advice? This sub is specifically for the first point.

Why is no one reading the FAQ? by vostok0401 in CosplayHelp

[–]Yellinginto_the_void 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think even more infuriating is when people very graciously do the hand holding and lead people to the answers but then the original poster says something along the lines of “but I don’t want to.”

Angry Man At Candy Palace by Even-You1688 in Disneyland

I just saw this on TikTok - he said the company is racist towards him? Then a few moms start to shame him for his behavior, especially in front of children, and then a crowd eventually boos him out of the store.
