It’s probably what I think it is. Master chief is talking about pro abortion rights. Good job John Halo. Person carrying anime body pillow count: 1

Everyone thinks they'll be the only person in the titty bar and then they realize there's other clientele and the magic is gone.

Is the maid cafe, like, a booth in the middle of a crowded convention arena?

I’ve been here for almost an hr now and it’s actually kinda neat. I got a small evangelion figure for 7 bucks, maybe they’ll have metal gear solid stuff.

People wearing ahegao shirt/sweater: 2
Body pillow carriers:1


It’s kinda a nerdfest but really no different than what you’d expect going into an anime figurine store. People are generally really nice here too. Nowhere near as packed as the situation in the OP yesterday, but there’s still plenty of people.

Genuinely enjoying myself here even though I have an understanding of maybe a quarter of the shows/animes here

I honestly think people who wear the sex face clothing must have some sort of brain problem that keeps them from realizing how awful it is to wear it in public. It's like they think real life is Saints' Row and they're the player character, and they can wear any disgusting clothing in public and no one will bug them about it because everyone else is just an NPC.

Everyone wants to be the main character who leaves people gasping at a loss for words when they lay down the law in a big speech about everything wrong in the world.

Eh maybe but I don't think so. Very few pictures available online but I get the feeling it's more akin to the kind of shows that casinos put on in Las Vegas all the time. Basically "ladies in costumes do some dances and you can take a picture with them". Doesn't sound like any actual stripping or nudity going on.

You want to get laid you go to an after party where some jumped up English voice actor starts using his cred to sleep with teenagers and then tries to sue people when his career tanks.

Sid wears it and Sid is a cool guy so therefore the aheago (sp?) poo poo that I find tasteless as hell must in fact be cool because, again, Sid is a cool guy.

I don't know enough about anime to know if this is a pervasive issue among voice actors (though I wouldn't be shocked because the entertainment industry as a whole seems to be a gathering of sexual assailants) but I'm assuming it's a reference to Vic Mignogna who is best known as the voice of Edward Elric on Full Metal Alchemist.

Anime expo was neat but I think I’m happy I only got a single day pass. I couldn’t imagine going through all this for four days in a row, let alone just two.

It felt like Little Tokyo: XL which is just a mile or so away, and there I can get a whole bunch of similar/nearly identical merch without having to spend $80 just to have the privilege to buy it.

Todays haul was a $7 evangelion figurine and a $12 manga called Beatstars which seemed really neat just by the cover art and my friends saying that it’s supposedly good. And then a $29 pita wrap with a coke from the extremely expensive food trucks, christ alive. Most of the photos I took were selfies, the rest were of mundane things this thread wouldn’t care about. Also surprisingly there was no general BO smell, but one dude did pass by me absolutely reeking of it and that probably singed my nose hairs.

I’d probably make this a yearly thing if the tickets were half of what they were, but I give this event a solid 3 ahegao sweaters out of 5.
