What's the best community? If you could just magically wake up already living in the city with the comm of your choice, where would it be and why?Are there any comms that you feel are too far gone and better left given up on to dissolve by their own internal squabbling?
>>10911782everyone has given you many reasons and examples but you just give shitty anecdotes about how it doesn't affect you. you can't back up something you stated as fact with a bunch of opinions. just take the L and stop derailing the thread.
>>10911813There aren't really any inherently lolita topics in general, barring simply talking about lolita. Activities and topics comms tend to stick to are just lolita adjacent and often barely. Plus I have never met a lolita who wasn't a weeb. 99% of lolitas learn about it through anime or cosplay or cons. Anyone saying otherwise is lying.
>>10911813I had a good laugh at this. Not wrong. Most every event I’ve been to 2-3 anime fans dominate the entire conversation and refuse to discuss anything else no matter how clear it is that the rest of us would like to move on. It’s maybe more related to being younger than liking anime but it is pretty annoying nonetheless. >>10911855I disagree. Best conversations I have are usually about life, school, work, and the fashion itself. Jewelry making/crafting is also a very common topic, haha and let’s not forget gossip about the community in general. There’s so much more to talk about than anime, and it’s actually not as common in my comm for people to have been introduced through anime. People definitely lie about that, but I know two people who were introduced through GLB which later introduced them to the anime scene by association. I also know people who were introduced through the Harajuku fashion craze of 2010s. People who feel the need to remind you 24/7 that they’re not into anime tend to be kind of douchey though, so take that as you will.
>>10911518People have nostalgia goggles, they hear "2000 anime" and think about classics like death note and soul eater, not shit nobody remembers like bottle fairy or magic users club which was actually the majority, kind of like how now most stuff is bad but some good
>>10911853No they have not. "fanservice has been replaced by isekai" and "they had more fanservice because of lax rules" does not disprove that 2000s was peak fanservice. "there is more anime being released now, so you could say there's more bad anime too" doesn't disprove that there's more higher amount of good anime being released now. "you got tricked by fanservice" isn't even an argument, it's a wild baseless assumption. "You're just wrong bro" is also no argument.You're all just mad because you think I'm spitting on your nostalgia.Take your own advice by taking the L and shutting up.
last one hit bump limit
>>10911814Ah yes the upskirt shots of him in lolita, definitely not done to be sexual
>>10911814did you conveniently ignore the pics of his literal nuts hanging you retard
>>10911814>i'm not attracted to it, therefore it's not sexual!also why do zoomers like you need everything to be subversive, including things that already are?
>>10911850Jesus y’all need a fucking Xanax. I saw zero nuts in my expedition, and it reminds me of the meta series that was either vinyl or latex. Not sure what kind of search history yiu got going on over there, but I literally said in my initial post that I might not be seeing the super gross stuff in my search. I’m certainly not going to go in depth trying to find it. Way to sperge out though. That’s the most excitement we’ve had on this dead ass board in a while.
>>10911859You didn't even actually look through his social media and made a very wrong generalization about what he posts, and now you're saying people are sperging because they're calling you dumb? This isn't excitement. This is a normal day on /cgl/
This is a containment thread for all questions like "how do I get a cosplay gf?" or "how do i hook up at an anime convention">required readinghttps://wingman.live/blog/how-to-get-laid-at-an-anime-convention>I can't get laid IRL. Can I get laid at an anime con?No. You need the basic competence from IRL>Thread prompt:What are your con romance stories? Either victories or defeats
>>10911822? I'm married? What are you talking about?
>>10911830Again, I don't believe your larp. But if it were true, your advice for someone meeting women at a con isn't valid because you're paying them, dingus
>>10911843Not to mention, even putting the paying part aside, getting a third as a couple is completely different and in my experience much easier (never actually did it but my ex and I got plenty of offers) than hooking up as a single guy.
>>10911843? I met my wife before I married her?
>>10911856Do you have to pay her every time too?
Anime North is only a month away, anyone else going but not buying a ticket this year?
>>10911784yeah, you're mid alright
>>10911785:(
>>10911786what are you watching this season
>>10911787unironically nothing
>>10911787how about you?
ITT: We post pictures of cosplay from the 90's or early 2000's.

I'm back with more links! Open through archive.orghttp://www47.tok2.com/home/boowy/menu/cosmenu.htmhttp://www.hi-ho.ne.jp/m-ihara/index.htmhttp://www.ztv.ne.jp/hibiki/
>>10908597I would if I could Anon. I miss everyone being talented enough to make their own stuff and happily talk about the technical aspects of it. I don't mind people buying their stuff but now there is this lost aspect of things to talk about with people. And of course people treat cosplay as a flavor of the month thing because there is SO MUCH to cosplay VERY FAST so they just toss on the latest outfit from China and then toss it in the closet after one wearing because now there is a new show they must cosplay from. They weren't even that attached to the character so who cares.
>>10911790nta but i feel this. there are still some people who do it but it's not the same most people only craft or sew to show it off for e-clout. i remember being excited when i drafted my own patterns or designed my own wig, but the only people i shared that with were my friends and people at the con. now people just ask where you got your cosplay, they assume you bought it.

Just lots of plain basics this week
>>10911792
Bad news: Melody Toys againGood news: it’s the regular jsk cut that a lot of people wanted!Bad news II: no mint or sax
>>10910878They do look similar but the art style and theme is way different for it to be traced
>>10911794this looks good. i wish they did more white with pink lace pieces though.
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?

>>10911832Any you don't know that small cons have limitations? Sure thing anon, must not really take a lot in if you can't understand the basics.
>>10911833(you)
>>10911835not a rebuttle but whatever. Just because a con that hosts at max 400 people doesn't take your payment method doesn't mean it's a scam. Zelle is with every major bank and cheaper than PayPal with less risk of fraud chargebacks.Calling a small con like the ones you listed a scam is just a shitty thing to do.
>>10911841OK, good. You don't have to be a *completely* smarmy cunt. Cause otherwise, I was gonna leave it at that. In those 50+ cons, there were ones run by university anime clubs and held in the library that felt more professional.>Your payment methodYeah, any form of card payment at all. I could have even overlooked that but "service fee" for Zelle is the one that really made me suspicious. Superfancon isn't great either, but there was one one year they held it at Xtreme Action Park which is something different. So yeah, I'm not gonna go to bat for subpar trash where it feels like vendors outnumber attendees
>>10911849You're complaining and getting about a small event that might be for only 200 people on 4chan. Nothing you said implies or shows proof of a scam. Don't attend if you don't care for the con, and don't call things a scam because you have some tinfoil logic
Last thread: >>10882643
>>10910468nayrt, it's a mix in here. I'm pretty sure there are some fat people here who have that waist size who admit 82cm waist is fat because they don't want to fuel anyone's delusions.There've been plenty of fat and chubby people on cgl talking about their own measurements and which dresses they fit in, and they weren't jumped or mocked for doing so. People just hate it when fat people pretend they're not fat.
This style is appropriated by Japs and then reappropriated by weaboos.
>>10909956>>10909896They have released 3 more since this commentShangri-la princess 160,000 yenPrincess Annette 68,000 yenEden (AatP) 69,000 yenBut yeah, totally normal thing they do every year, kek
>>10911836Nayrt, I wish they would release more normal pieces instead of so many over the top special event dresses.I'm personally waiting for a heart bag rerelease. I know they're not good quality (even for fake leather) but that's exactly why I don't want to buy second hand. You don't know how long it's been sitting in someone's house, or if it's actually in the good condition they say it's in.
>>10911837chinese girls need all these for their weeb oujosama larp shit.
Do you agree with this popular cosplay girl's opinions on male cosplays?
>>10907111So you're saying I should dress as a fireman, police officer, office worker, or a pilot?
>>10865342You know you can fold your eyelids differently to change the shape of your eyes instead of doing it by makeup, right? Here is one example. You'll want eyelash glue or something to hold the new fold in place: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT9jQh4dvYw
>>10864707>girlgo back to your liveboard
>>10911663no
>>10864707This is true and I'm going to take this a step further: very few people like masculinity at these conventions at all unless you are very, very attractive and are playing some sort of shirtless SERIOUS character or one who shows off physique in some form.I have cosplayed as both men and women. I am a guy but I look very feminine. Feminine enough that when put next to other crossplayers I look more like a woman than them, but when put next to women I look like a guy in a dress. I also do cosplay as bishonen and similar characters. I get WAY more attention from both guys and girls when crossplaying than when looking like a prettyboy. I get none looking like a bishonen. At the same con I often bring two outfits and wear both on different days, getting a shitload of attention as a girl and none as a guy, even if a feminine guy. Masculinity in general is not cared about at all and is often looked down upon when it comes to fashion and showing off situations. This goes for cons, this goes for real life.>>10907111>>10885670Essentially this.
May 17-19, 2024Are you going for the whole weekend?What are you cosplaying?Is your cosplay done or are you con crunching?Are you hosting a panel or working a booth?Going to the rave?Favorite part of the con?Any other activities you’re looking forward to?
>Are you going for the whole weekend?I have the weekend pass but am undecided about Sunday>Are you hosting a panel or working a booth?Yes, see attached image, check it out if interested!please hang out with me I have gone to cons alone for like the last 8 years, no one ever goes with me I need friends. I'm a awkward guy but not "unpleasant to be around awkward" just "not actively fun" awkward : (Last year I got tangentially involved in some /cgl/ drama at a party despite never coming here which is what made me think of this place now lol
>>10911537The real issue are the /cgl/ who never IP ban anyone who keeps bringing up this shit. Literally half the posts are people upset they didn't get to sleep with some ugly goblin girl while rasin did and the other half of the posts are rasin who will never learn that constantly antagonizing people isn't going to fix his image.
>>10911728nothing wrong with a gf/bf with that kind of dedication honestly
>>10911789It's easy to get past IP bans especially if you have a dynamic IP (most cell phones have a dynamic IP anyway)
>>10911650Anyone can attend?
Taking place April 27th-28th we're just over a month away, are any of you guys planning on going? Anyone returning from last year, or planning on going for their first time this go-around? Cosplay plans? C'mon let's hear 'ya out.
>>10909328I'm also going to Reitaisai after Touhoufest. Maybe we can meet up? I can help out since I been going to nippon for well over a decade.
>>10909485yeah that'd be awesome. the latest i'll arrive in LA will be real early in the morning on day 0. but i suppose we can meet up any time during 2hufest
>only days awayWell, I guess I'll be seeing whoever here decides to go! I'll be in my lame ZUN cosplay, so feel free to say hi if 'ya want!
I’m going to be on drugs the entire time :)
>>10905857i'm going for the 2nd year in a row, flying from across the country again. was a lot of fun, looking forward to tomorrow
another attempt at an appreciation thread to discuss this beautiful Austrian cosplayer. things to discuss:>her cosplay>her gravure sets>photos she herself poststhings not to discuss:>her nudes>drama>her flaws
>>10910147It seemed like quite a few people were planning on flying in, even outside of SEA.
>>10910163that anon is triggered because she doesn't just spend all her money on useless shit but also invested some of it.
she cute
>>10911817Very. I guess she has something in the works.
>>10911829a JAV?
199 days to go36 days to go until the 2024 Anime Expo Hotel Block Hunger GamesThread theme (slightly dated)https://youtu.be/v3lwLZ1jKZM?si=_WSNp1qWlbOtYUU7
>>10911797if they don't do that at stupid protests, they won't do it to an event road closure
>>10911766Cool, sadly only going for one day for the expo. Assuming anyone is free to hang out there, I'm down to drive to there the other days just to hang out and take pics
>>10911797>Road rager plows through anime event killing several peopleBased>>10911831I don't think any outdoor event for AX is free. It's not like Comic Con. Expect the street to be fenced off with AX staff and security personnel guarding it.
