This year was much better than the last 2 years for sure, but lots of room for improvement. I was at the Nikke meetup and am in the vid somewhere lol The organizer thought it would be a much smaller meetup, and the crowd got so big that it was blocking the doors (hence security saying they would shut it down due to it being a fire hazard).

Definitely not a fun place to be

Lol they were mad pushing the comic con museum where you could pay $1900 and get a ticket for the weekend. That's pretty lame..

So you have to be upper middle class to go to cons now? Sweet, now ill never get to go

I am sure most of people who go to events like this are ok but as much as i like comics and anime and cosplay I am put off by stories like this and other horror stories i have heard about people been molested in cosplay ect

Bruh i shit you not. After the weston incident. We took a uber back to back to the expo to see what was poppin. But me and friends took different ubers. As i got there. I met this random stranger near the crypto area and approach me. Since i was smoking and he wanted a cig. I gave him one and he looked like a regular club joe. As i pop the question. "Where are you coming from i just came back from weston." Bruh replies"i just came back from a orgy. (Dont want to name of the hotel for reason)" At first i didnt belive him till he pop out a bag that might be worth 300$ in figurines. Re zero and he doesnt look like he came for the expo and he stole those items from the orgy session and his reason was because" the people in there. The girls wanted me to do it with them and i am more into guys. So they kept bugging and i just left while coming up with these cartoon toys." I shit you not. I readt my fist hard because the next thing he said was diabolical."hey you want me to suck you up for ***$" I was speechless and it was one mile awkward walk 😂

Even if a guy it's just paying for consensual sex with an independent sex worker, this would or could be labeled as sex trafficking. Often a "sex trafficking" sting is just guys setting up meet ups with a cop who's pretending to be a sex worker. Then those guys are labeled as being a part of a sex trafficking sting. Driving a sex worker to a different location would meet the definition of sex trafficking. So it rarely ever actually means kidnapping or something like that. So who knows what kind of sex traffickers they actually caught. The real ones or just some guy who technically meets the definition, or some sex worker trying to pay their bills.

I remember going January 13th and 14th 2024 Pomona.

No face without conviction

Im not surprised that they got some disgusting people abusing others in comic con, sadly where there is people and there is opportunity to make money bad actors will always follow.... Im surprised this hasnt surfaced earlier... WE dont know what happens in the hotels where I think most of the bad stuff is definetly happening specially in the after con hours

A family member showed me the article about this on Facebook this morning. It’s concerning that hardly anyone is talking about it. It’s a very scary thought that these kind of people are lurking there. It wasn’t even something I had considered.

Copyright infringement letters that were sent were fakes. Viz did not send any letter out officially. It’s a scam that has been done multiple times before

Brother from another mother 👨‍🍼

I show an outdated website towards the end of the video. my fault for googling the link instead of using the one from the email they sent me. www.seeticketsusdataincidentsettlement.com/

Hey there! I think the website you put in your description is giving an older/outdated website. I went to the link that was showing on your video and I see this looks like it could be the correct one? Just wanting to bring this to your attention!

This is concerning I had never considered the possibility of being kidnapped or trafficker at sdcc. I’ll be more alert from now on. In the most recent comic con I went all alone because nobody could come with me a scary thought

21:54 Plus, people with epilepsy can be triggered into seizures by flash. It is wild to bring one to an event like this.

i think they are run by someone else. the person in charge of the whole thing won't be there. its like that one lady who was in charge of those gang smash and grab. she was no where near there. i doubt those people are actually the ring leader.

they arent coming out in english any time soon, only bleach volume 1, black clover volume 1, and jujutsu kaisen volume 1 💀😅 I think the decks come out before the boosters but you gotta attend a special event for a special ap card game mat and I think a deck box or sleeves

This is just sickening these creeps are allow to be in events like SDCC.

Once in a while you'll get a weird/sad/tragic story from SDCC. One year a guy stabbed his friend with a pencil inside Hall H during a Harry Potter panel, another year a girl went missing and was presumed dead but she ended up climbing a fence to the Marriott pool and fell in, and one year a woman was killed crossing the street when the Twilight panel line moved a little (this was on the Monday/Tuesday before the con started)

There was also an EMT call at the AX crossing area where someone was run over and injured by a person riding an electric scooter.

Have you ever tried eating those $10 danger dogs people sell on their shopping carts? The ones that appear on that 3-hour wait line? Just wanna say I've seen people get sick after that.

The fact that the guy was dressed as Master Roshi and was messing with people 😭

I appreciate your info about cons. Not many channels cover them to this degree. Do you plan on doing retrospectives on failed cons?

Can you do the dark side of Anime NYC?

I remember seeing a child getting eaten by random furries in the middle of the show

I dont feel bad for the Roshi cosplayer. If you're being a creep, then you get what's coming to you!

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

Filian's model isn't custom, so she never owned the copyright to it, she only had usage rights, same as probably a thousand other people who use that same model

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.

When you get so drunk in cosplay you become the character. Cosplaying Master Roshi and drinking is a mistake. Never Drink and Roshi. When you forget flipping skirts is only OK in anime and doesn't work out well in real life.

aniki you are so sexy

Nanami locked in.

Been attending AX since 2011 and im amazed of all the drama I’ve seen throughout my years of going and it just keeps piling on without fail

it only affected people in the exhibitor hall. Artist alley as in the clear

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

2:26 it states in the exhibitor boothing rules that they are to use ips they own

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 ? 😅

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.

Why Nanami go overtime on master roshi😭🧌

Pretty sure fan art is fair use lmao good luck viz, what are they gonna do, sue every artist personally?

My friend and I walked out of the Pluse Sized Elf premiere. It was terrible... Not impressed, felt robbed, and it felt like a massive waste of time after the first 12 minutes. That show will get canceled soon and HieDive needs to reevaluate their choices or I.P.s to bring on board for their company. Cause this is is gonna brun them down 😂

Man the Nikke boom is real wth xD I wish we had as many people in an Azur Lane meetup in Europe like in here.

Oh man, I thought they settled everything soon after their "con," so I stopped following this whole drama...but nope, guess not! Insane, so many of my artists friends are out hundreds of bucks from this whole fiasco smh.

Yikes sucks to see a frequent amount of flops in the event scene lately. I predict it's only get worse for those trying to make a quick buck.

omygodd broo thank you so much😩😩😝😝 ive never been this happy in my whole life i thank you my brother💪🏿💖 love from pakistan

that Master Roshi beat down 😮

2 things i missed. konami has an exclusive yu-gi-oh time wizard plush for sale. and J18 is having a signing with an H author, check their socials for details.

Bro, i can’t believe this stuff is on KZbin. I was the TnT sound guy (I’m in your Japan Family Day video with them) last year, as well as providing all of the sound equipment for their Kazoku Fest 2 event last summer. After a bunch of little sabotaging from Marcus of TnT and having equipment I lent them come back broken, which wasn’t discovered until I was on site at the event I needed to use it for, I decided to pull all of my support and gear from them. As a result they ended up with no sound guy or PA system for their Little Akiba events, and you might have noticed that their involvement with those events have been dwindling. Anyway, I’ve also been the sound guy for Rosecity since the beginning. Marcus has always kept his hands clean on the little passive aggressive sabotage he does, which he could always blame on incompetence or oversight and he managed to keep his hands clean with this one too. I know how these dudes operate, I’ve been in their meetings and group chats. Marcus and Raijin totally planned the snitch, and Marcus threw Raijin under the bus when they were caught. Also someone called a city council member the day before H Night to try to get the permit for the parking lot across the street pulled. These people are snakes. Anyway, thanks for bringing light to this situation.
