Das rite. Toying with the idea of a cosplay AGAIN but afraid of low recognition (again)

It'd be either Hanekawa or tracksuit Karen. I saw a lone Yotsugi last year which isn't super encouraging. Better try internalizing the

We suffer, but there's strength in numbers. That pic is actually from Otakuthon in Montreal and the poster there said there was a packed panel. To show how small the pool of Monogatari cosplayers is though, we also mentioned a Shinobu...who I've also seen at Sakura.

Yeh that settles it, we gotta make this happen even if its just a fandom meetup. Worth noting too by the way: my last con had Koyomi, Mayoi, Nadeko and Yotsugi together

I just want them to get their shit figured out for the cosplay contest. AFAIK it keeps conflicting with whoever has the main stage in the evening taking the whole afternoon to do a tech rehersal.
>>10967563
I missed to that because my fucking HUNK was in the goddamn hotel room! Didn't cosplay for the whole weekend and just drank at Pine Box with my bro instead.

The jury has deliberated and Nisemono Karen wins. Hanekawa might be closer in the looks department but I'd rather somebody with a unique fit

Kind of? It’s a blue karate gi I cut the sleeves off of. Red socks I cut out, and a black scarf I use for Luke’s battle over the Scarlacc outfit. The sword is rubber so peace bonding won’t give me shit. The mask is just a blue balaclava. You can’t see it but I have black ninja shoes.

You guys know that huge booth? The one with all the import games, CDs and art books. They were at the last con I went to and somebody (besides me) was buying Mono stuff every time I went by. Perhaps something to keep in mind for later

>>10966796
Is there any good panels/events/meetups/hangouts to go to? I'm used to Katsu/Ota/Mag, where everyone would just get drunk by the Gazebo or Marquis lobby.
I went to sak last year, but didn't actually spend much time at the con itself due to a hangover + visiting friends + the fire.

Depends on your niche. There's whole bunch of panels ranging from contests to interests in creating content to voice actors and celebs. Though some were canceled because of the cheese cake factory fire lol
