You don't go to anime conventions to make meet people except vendors, you go there to buy stuff. If you want to go to anime cons with based otaku then you have got to bring them with you.

that's the problem, more people watch anime than ever, it's completely mainstream, but the number of hardcore otaku doesn't seem to have increased very much at all. Now it's just hard to identify who is who.

Why do you want to meet them? It sucks to have otaku friends because if they have a slightly different taste to yours, as they inevitably will because we are not clones, then this will lead to an argument.

If you want to make friends then at best you can do it by creating some kind of otaku product together but it'll last as long as the project lasts.

arguing about taste does not have to be a bad thing, it can be fun.

being an otaku would be more gooder if i could share my enthusiasm with someone. i like talking online but its not the same.

i went to a big anime convention a few years back, and i was taken aback at how little intermingleing of diffrent groups there were. couples or pre-established friends seemed to chat with each other, but i didnt see any interaction between new people besides complementing cosplay. i think the sad truth is that anime cons are more about consumerism, like a carnival, than about meeting people. if you want some actionable advice tho, you could just try and strike up a conversation with literally every interesting enough person you see. a lot of people will definitely think your weird for even talking to them, but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. its a blunt strategy but with enough attempts it should work at least a single time v(o_o)v
