Is an anime convention different than a comicon? I went to a comicon one time and it was just a yard sale in a building that I had to pay $60 to get in and was super lame.

Yes, Comic-Cons lately bring in movie/TV show guests which greatly expanded the demographic (though comic books are still the anchor) so you get a lot more socially able and well-functioning people that want to meet the "guy from Sons of Anarchy". There are weirdos there, no lie, but they are so few and far between you can laugh at them and feel better about yourself as everyone else does.

That's assuming you go to one of the bigger regional ones that rents a proper venue and books quality guests (a hotel ballroom rented is a big red flag, avoid).

I don't recall any massive bushes. Neatly trimmed or shaved. I'm sure there are cases of poor grooming, but that's probably true from any pool of people.

i went to otakon once. it was this big anime convention at the baltimore inner harbor. a friend of my best friend got him to go so my friend bought me a ticket and talked 16yo me into it by telling me it was going to be a convention full of girls wearing almost nothing. he was kinda right except instead of "full" it was about a dozen and maybe two of them were not gross lookin. i didnt know poo poo about anime really so it was really fuckin weird. i saw a bunch of dudes near the entrance with an "ADTRW" banner. everyone was talking about japan and eating pocky. a couple people had headbands with metal plates on the front and like every alcove had a dozen guys surrounding a single girl. there was some punk stringbean.guy dressed in a black costume lookin all brooding and walking down the center of every walkway and making everyone walk around him. like the fourth time i saw him i played chicken w/ him and he moved and i bumped him w/ my shoulder and he just awkwardly kept walking with his mean mug on.

satisfied with beating the boss of the otakon we went next door and ate at hooters for a pallette cleanser. we went back to the convention to the hall where people were selling poo poo and some of it was creepy as hell. they announced the dance floor was open so we went there and there was just a single guy dancing to trance and doing all kinda hand flourishes while a couple people watched. we wanted to get the heck outta there but hadnt seen the dude we came with since an hour or so after we got there. i was like gently caress it and led my friend to camden yards and took the light rail and a bus then walked like 5 miles to his car to get out of there.

never go to an anime convention. i think it was a three day thing but we never talked about it again. the things people say about the BO smell is 100% true. i had conversations with a few people who werent intolerable japophiles but they were the exception by far. the whole place had this cloud of desperation hanging over it. the adtrw gyys looked like some of the most normal people there if that tells you anything. well thats my trip report. it was gay as hell.

no they met at several cons, and the facebook drama in regards to the few she dated was interminable and annoying

the really hilarious part is it wasn't even all characters. it was limited to the gay lover of a character she cosplayed, so basically one character from one game was her dating pool.

the thing you have to keep in mind about anime cons is if you're there for a specific purpose like attention whoring in a costume, or going to the dealers room, or meeting a VA, you have to deal with a lot of awful smelly people who have questionable limits on personal space. There ARE cool things that happen at them, but you have to be willing to ignore the majority of whats actually going on around you to be at the cool things. For me it was meeting cool people. Someone earlier said that normal people get bored and leave while the crazies stay; this was pretty much my experience as time went on.

this doesnt make me any less nerdy but whatever, sorry about the :words:

there were panels and stuff but i didnt know any of the things they featured. the only brushes id ever had with anime was a dude i knew from korea showing me his korean subtitled vhs of dragon ball and the first bit of berzerk. i might try watching the rest of that some time if i come across it because i actually liked it.

apparently otakon has 30k people attend now. it wasnt anywhere near that big then so theres probably a lot more to do.

i strongly doubt it. The last time I went there it was around 12k people and it was impossible to walk anywhere without being surrounded by walls of BO and gokushirts.

its a comic con for bugeyed chinese comic books

also the big comic cons have branched out into other stuff besides comics so there are people there less broken and pathetic than people who would go to a convention for comic books, anime cons dont have that
