I've peered behind the curtains we'll say. If that sounds too much like "My uncle works at Nintendo" then check back here when it goes lives. You'll see how much overlap there is with years prior

As a con it's very oldhead, in attendees and things to do. It's also noticeably more political than anything else I know in the state. Don't be too surprised either, when you see that the venue is kinda small. On the unofficial side, 5 gulls handle the party side and we've had great reception till now

same anon here
too bad the last thread was nuked bc my honest opinion about my previous adventures still stands

the scene is so dry ive been attending to one offs and cosplay raves (like the ones in baoshi) and theyre fine i guess but in the end its just people drinking eating or dancing or just talking
that place is not suited for a party but sure whatever

uhhhh fuckin uhhh collect a con was fine if you dont care about trading cards pokemon this isnt for you

megacon BAD im truly never going back ever again

otakufest being so close to me this year but not in miami is gonna be a shitshow but well see


ngl i might just hit up other cons outta state cuz the schedule this year is just not very good and coincides with other cons (otaku and AFO)

The "trans inclusionary" and "Life as a Black Otaku" side of it. Way more than any other Florida con I can think of, including Holmat

Oh this is going to be a fun con season in Florida again this year, wonder what con will be "the worst ever" again as the result of sneaking in and trying to get into room parties of people you don't know.

Sadly that garbage just comes with the territory of the anime/cosplay scene, no?

I got Rockville coming next week. Kinda planning on going to Metrocon but I haven't gone to it. Anybody been to it before? How good is it?

metro is a fine con
some years are okay some years are hype and if you go with friends its better

i always go to it every year and i end up having a blast anytime i do
the dates this year is im not gonna lie kinda weird kinda off but whatever

but i have been critical over the years because its practically the same thing over and over between the chess matches and the fire show and the masquerade if anyones not too drunk to understand the story and dance time

theres no 18+ stuff and metro is a party con however last year they mentioned WHY theres no 18+ stuff


inna nutsack they making metro family/friendly and for entertainment only and theyre "not equipped or educated" enough to check ID and why they dont serve alcohol there

>I just think the fandom needs a convention that focuses on entertainment and interactive events and community MORE than it needs another party con with 18+ panels at night.

????? isnt that the whole point of a con???

This would be dope
