Glancing over the guest list. Still deciding what event to attend. Going to the Kill la Kill event with a friend and hopefully attend the Reki Kawahara / abec panel, but other than that not much than do photos of cosplayers.
Doesn't seem too exciting this year. We are going to the Kill la Kill event, though I still need to catch up on the series. I would like to attend the SAO II panel if it does not conflict with the KlK event.
How do you guys have time to stand in line for panels and photograph cosplayers? o_O Covering cosplay gatherings usually takes all my time. How early do you usually go to line up for panels? Can you get away with 1 hour early, these days? (Sorry for all the questions! #^^# )
+Ni Ondoy mainly a lot of planning to see where and when the panels are. Depends on how popular the panel is will dictate how early we need to get there. Not too popular will not take leaving too early. Popular ones like KLK will probably be 1-2 hours early without premiere pass. A premiere pass doesn't hurt for panels 🙂
Personally for cosplayer shots I reserve a certain amount of time wandering the main area(have to be stern with my time management). I do quick shots as well while I'm window shopping in the exhibit hall.
+Francis Huang Thanks for the info! ^o^ I really thought popular panels had to be like 3+ hours early or something. (But maybe I'm thinking of ComicCon?) o~o So I always gave up on them. But knowing 1-2hrs is good enough, really helps!

+Ni Ondoy in would check the line 3 hours ahead just in case…but I know AX tries to avoid really early queues due to fire regulations.
