5:49 The reason why Nijisanji’s booth or Nijisanji in general has failed was because of their legal battle and abuse towards DokiBird formerly known as Selen Tatsuki. Basically Selen was making many events for the fans and her members, but the management kept turning down or canceling her events. This made Selen waste 200k with nothing in return, which led her to commit self-harm and rush to the hospital. Every PR control that Niji is doing to defend themselves keeps getting uglier or worse by a minute that caused their stocks to fall down and lose many fans in the process.

In that thread I also got to learn about an ADA attendee's unfortunate experience with the Ryoko Kui autograph session. It seemed like a mix of AX and individual guest's oversight on ADA attendees.

I'm the one who asked about which gate to enter for a Petree Hall morning panel but what ended up happening is that despite arriving there around 7ish the Max Gate line was soo long that it ended up near South Hall (according to my friend). They would not let him line up for Max Gate at that point. We ended up waiting at the Kisegi Gate line which stretched around the Crypto Arena but it wasn't so bad because the line would start moving at 8 AM. Secured a spot in that Petree Hall line with no problem, just had to go through the normal West Hall entrance intead of the original staircase. The most confusing line was probably Day 1 because everyone was lining up for opening hour. Of course the lines were let in pretty smoothly but for me I had a first come first serve mission for one of the Exhibit Hall booths so trying to figure out the Day 1 South Hall lines was pretty nerve wrecking. There was like NO line regulation for the Mahoko gate which everyone wants to go through so I hope something is done about that because there were many moments of the biggest line branching off into other lines

I was walking with my brother away from the con back to our car to the parking garage and as we were walking heard an explosion We saw a security men on the ground bleeding with his eyes fucked and the floor around covered in pool of blood. He was begging is life to call his mom but a luckily there was another security man calling for ambulance. There was 4 witnesses that night which was my brother, me, a white tall men and black security men. There's 2 things that coulda happen. He was either 1. Dumb enough to start a fireworks (which I doubt it) or 2. Someone started the fireworks and ran from the scene that night. But I don't know whether the guy lived that night, but I was left scarred that night. Only the doctors could saved him hoping that he's okay.

15:49 was this ticketed event? if it was then the panel room would have been cleared. if not, people were camping out by going to the panels before it and if the room doesnt clear they basically get to entrance to the next one without waiting outside it. its a hit or miss but i get the impression that most people just showed up near the start time and were not aware that they had to get their earlier. i do agree they should have distributed tickets online for free just so to avoid the crowd and the larger crowd of people that had to wait yet still couldnt get inside. a similar thing happened at the nove theater for ironmouse. it had capacity but it was not ticketed, just first come first serve. the line wrapped around the entire block towards the shuttle area behind the ritz and peacock theater. i think most people who wanted to go got inside but there were quite a few that didn't. it was literally inside a theater so to not provide a ticket to make sure its not over capacity is kinda dumb. overwall, AX was much better run this year. not perfect but i cant tell you how many years ive been going to AX and was disappointed in how events and parts of the con were run but for this year it did way more good than they did wrong. there's going to be a lot of people that cant be avoided but it was managed properly at least.

8:00 for real as someone who sells stuff, I DO NOT USE any artist that isn't willing to sell the copyrights. I pay the premium on all my art so I can sell it on whatever I want. If I pay for something it's mine so the idea of paying for a service and not being able to own it is wild to me. I was one of the ones super against Games going digital because you have less rights to it then when you bought the physical copy but times changed and now you don't really have a choice. But if I'm left with no choice, Oh Well. At least with Art and models there are many artists, especially on fiver that sell the rights and source files making all art yours. It's mainly twt artists that aren't willing to let go of anything they draw period ever. They lose out when it comes to business art. if I ever do Vtuber stuff I'm def going to use someone who will sell me the source files and all character rights.

they also seeminly hosed the whole area off later durring the nights and kept moving the metal fences around it seemed. i think the crypto arena staff are just fed up with ax staff, not sure if they are the same or not.

I never go to Anime Expo or Anime Con or whatever but I planned to go someday. So what should I expect from it ? Are these issues from this video will be common in most of Anime Con and Anime Expo ? 😅

each con has their own issues, large and small. But yeah AX has the most drama every year, Anime Los Angeles is pretty chill, I highly recommend that one as a first-time con goer. LA Comic Con isn't that bad either.

Great year. Kinda sad it felt smaller. But so much fun!! Only thing personal hurt that got me, only paying food with credit card or other money transfer. So the first night ending with a headache. Also a lifestyle choice of mine, but no physical cas for food. Not a good practice. But still a paradise going echer year.

as a security officer, its highly likely the officers were just misinformed or misunderstood their directions and were looking for a specific type of badge, and didn't know about other types. If that were the case, def 100% that security company's fault

The clicking idea with the clicker sounds like it will fail big time. You know how many people cut queue all the time or have people line up for them? It's an idea but I think there needs to be a better way
@EvilAniki
Ай бұрын
they had a person doing a clicker. They just couldn't confirm the number of open seats in the room so it was just guesting the cutoff point, I got told like 3 times that i might not/prolly wouldnt get in. Maybe like a deli/DMV ticket system where you come and get a ticket with a number and that's your chair would be a better system.

See the way I was expecting was more fighting and more criminal behaviors but this is low base so it should be fine for now. I don’t see anything Darkside from this nothing completely dark. This is more like a shadow than a Darkside.

For the C&D, that was only targeted to Artists who had booths in Exhibit hall, it never made it down to Artist Alley. In any con where you're sharing space with the publisher [as in if you're in the SAME FLOOR], its always better to have original work OR fan art that is allowed to sell. Viz is pretty strict which is why its better to not have any of their properties in your Exhibit Hall booth.
@EvilAniki
Ай бұрын
yeah, i think the kicker was the particular vendor i mentioned has done AX before, so they prolly thought it was okay. also some of the other comments on the video are saying the C&D made it to artist alley but idk. I do know other artists made videos about it at the event, and event on sunday there were stalls missing and replaced with chairs for booths who didnt comply with the orders from AX staff.

Some of the incidents mentioned here make me glad I have virtually no interest in attending Anime Expo and preferring more local cons instead. But also because I'd have to travel across half the country to get there, and that's not something I'm willing to do.
