>>10634532Con g rats. You support right winge h8.I hope you are happy for hate
>>10635151>>10635176
>>10635151>Remember this one riot by conservatives after a year of constant leftists riots in every major city
>>10631301>>10634603>>10634532>>10635178>>10635180You have been informed of the owners political lies. I won’t judge you, SOCIETY WILL.If you attend after being warned, people will judge you harshlay.
>>10635180Why is his face all messed up?
I was trying to book a non shitty hotel and they're all sold out, or priced at $600 a night.Is this con that big or what's going on?
>>10635238Since it's the first con in a long while I think everyone was desperate to go to it.
>>10628237>>10631301What's the actual story here? I was thinking of going to the Ontario one - normally I wouldn't go to one of these small first year cons but figured it'd be better than usual because first post-covid con and it'll also probably be my last SoCal con before I move out of state - but now I'm curious about what I'd be supporting by going.
>>10636298Same, I'm genuinely confused what the deal is. Saw a few friends saying they're anti-mask, but based on the website it seems they're requiring masks inside?
If y'all hate on this con so much then how come all the hotels within the con area are sold out?
>>10635188i haven’t been informed why don’t you let us all know wtf you’re on about
So is Dennis Gonzalez secretly the CEO disguised as a director like all the other pedophile con CEOs hiding in the ranks?
you think we'll be able to G H O S T ? ? ?
>>10628082Where the fuck did the get money and connections to start cons in Atlanta and Miami?
>>10628082Want to go with my gf, the hotels are kinda pricey for what they are. Even when ala was hosted there, they didn't get that expensive. Still debating, will it even be good? Also I don't really want to be wearing masks during the con Its annoying. We will see.
>>10645552They are probably leaving California because it sucks.
So are you guys going or what the fuck?
>>10650446ill be there
>>10650446I'll be enjoying the free play arcade for sure
>>10636298hey holly xD
Has anyone gotten their badges yet? Less than a week away and mine still hasn’t shipped.
>get to support a right winger and enjoy anime>no libshits will gobought a weekend pass now thanks fags
>>10651585You only got the badge shipped if you bought it before a certain date, if you bought it after july hit, you have to pick it up.Im just confused why theres people complaining about this dude when almost all the other cons have some trash ceo, why dont they talk about those?Is it just because this is a small con?I totally understand not going, but I'll be a bit peeved at the people not going because of it and then see that same person going to AX and not preeching the same thing.
>>10651815It’s a small con and people on Le internet want to feel like they’re defeating fascism so they’ll get buthurt about this small con but God forbid they ever boycott a large con like AX or ALA. just think of all the panels they’d miss!! In all seriousness this is 4chan and someone is always complaining about something here. I’m sure there are many more people lurking this thread that are going.
>>10651815someone drop some tea please on these trash con ceos
>>10651838Follow the money ... ps someone is sour that Animanga scooped up the ontario convention center and a Summer spot. Animanga could upset the whole southern california anime convention scene!
The impression I get from other people on social media is that Animanga will have a huge turn out. I get people miss the con scene but with all the free pop up events and gaming tournament happening in socal, I don’t see many people attending Animanga. I attended the last one and it was very small and boring. Will Animanga even have panels this year? Their website doesn’t say much.
>>10651883I, for one am glad that animanga scooped up this summer spot. Although AX is fun, a chill small con is so much better than a large corporate convention. It has to be a good con if they want to last in cali though. In 2019 some folks tried reviving Anime California and they didn't last through the pandemic. Only time will tell if these guys will do well.
they did a shit job advertising last minute didnt they. Hotel block was sold out prior to their post about it.
>>10651980yeah but what do you expect from a first year con
>>10651988>first yearlooks like they've been having it since 2018, the covid restrictions within the state and the Gateway seeming to be closed for renovations seems like a more likely reason for this shitshow.of a con block
>>10651988They had a con in 2018 and 2019 just way smaller at the Pomona fairplex.>>10651815The main folks throwing shit on social media are folks who are con ops for a few SoCal cons like Titancon, Ronin, "IE the real cons of SoCal" they just keep claiming the CEO is sus and this whole thing is gonna suck and none of their cosplayer/influencer friends should go because of covid, while at the same time talking about going and ghosting it for pics and clout.TL;DR its more about money and competition than peoples safety and caring about women/trans comments or whatever they were trying to jump on it for
I want to go.>>10651905>all the free pop up events and gaming tournamentHuh?
>>10652007what does this image mean?
>>10652009Folks trying to figure out how to cancel the con, doxx the guy, and asking each other who this guy was and how he managed to afford the OCC, once they figured out he wasn't part of the circlejerk it turns into them trying to cancel the event by "influence"
>>10652011sounds like the itasha group
>>10651905>free pop up events and gaming tournament happening in socalLA here.wut.judging by hotels being booked and this being the first summer con in 2 years I can see this being a "big" "small" con.
>>10652011>>10652007so the hate is just socal fags mad someone else is doing a con and not them?>>10652012explain further
>>10652007>>10652007who tf are these faggots? and why dont they want me to see some anime tiddies this weekend!didn't know u needed to be in their "circle" to start a business in the USA.
>>10652012the itasha alliance? makes no sense since they are gonna be at animanga.
>>10652007This wouldn't shock me if this was another Kopf-con with another frontman to do the dirty work. I expected better of attendees so support his shit.
>>10652296Hi Ryan Kopf
>>10652007>>>>Anonymous 07/27/21(Tue)22:37:20 No.10652008▶hmmm.. is it me? or does this lookin like its Ronin con and Kiss maid cafe behind this callout on Animanga
>>10652313Hmmm… If this is true, we do not want a con associated with him here in Georgia. If anyone has proof either way, it would be appreciated.
>>10652328doubt it, looks like danny gonzalez is a real person
>>10652340AYRT- I straight up emailed the management about Kopf, so I’ll find out that part of it later. I did find the dude’s Twitter and it is full of extreme conspiracies about covid not being real and qanon nonsense. If you search Animanga + Reddit, you can find the same info I did. I’m pretty sure this is what the other anon was warning about, rather than Kopf’s involvement.Personally, I would not attend bc the leadership does not believe in or take covid-19 seriously, especially with the delta variety flourishing amongst antivax morons. They are disease vectors and the reason delta exists.If you care for your health, don’t go. If you think concurs is bad… imagine delta. Anyway, don’t take my word- go read for yourself. Hope this clears up rumors, anons.
>>10652341>if you think concurs…If you think covid-19 is bad…
>>10652341Not shocked that the person who runs it is a trumer. Pretty disgustng.
>>10652328unless ryan kopf had dennis gonzalez register the trademark for him, prob not. https://trademarks.justia.com/876/53/animanga-87653707.htmlthis dennis guy sounds like he's prob the owner. weird that he says hes the senior marketing director (or something like that).
>>10652341>Bad english>4chan would agree that Trump is bad>Refers to folks on here as "anons"
>>10652012It's always the damn itasha
>>10652367Good enlgish doesn't an anime fand would make.
>>10652341>If you care for your health, don’t go. If you think concurs is bad… imagine delta.Except masks are mandated and attendance is limited. If you think going is going to get you sick then don’t go. Let people have fun at a con for the first time in over a year. Go be a fag somewhere else
>>10652402Am I forcing people not to go? No. Did I say they weren’t mandating masks? No. I said I personally am not going, here’s what the dude believes per his Twitter, and if you are worried for your health, than don’t go.If you aren’t, have fun. Go take your fragile ego somewhere else.
>>10652403>If you search Animanga + Reddit,>RedditI think you're lost here friendo
>>10652404I didn’t want to dox his Twitter, but yes… forgive me
Animanga sounds like one of those cons that was organized by some guy just to stroke his own ego and say that he runs a con. Looks shitty no matter what angle you look at it from.
>>10652419That's every North American anime conWhat are you getting at?
>>10652341>flourishing amongst antivaxyou have that backwards but ok.
