Really Fun, Could Use More Anime
by Haig K on 8/1/23This event was largely a blast, but it lacked most of that anime flavor that the one they held two years ago had. The latter two DJs weren't as good as I expected.

by Lightningfist13 on 8/1/23A pretty fun and energetic atmosphere presented by the hosts; especially in regards to the many throwback songs played.
Rating: 1 out of 5 Horrible lineup
by Kaneki on 8/1/23You would expect that anime music would be played at an otakon after party, but both DJs, cam girl & kyon, (I didn’t hear the third DJ’s set) rarely played any and instead mainly played music from the 2000-2010s lol not even recent music. When they did play anime songs it was just the openings from pokemon, demon slayer, Tokyo ghoul, and cyberpunk, nothing else. And sure that would’ve been fine if the music overall sounded good and flowed smoothly, but it was just awful to listen to. The transitions between songs from both DJs were bad but one was significantly worse than the other. They also couldn’t read the room because when they finally did play a song people liked, they would cut randomly to another song. I’ve never felt like I needed to be severely wasted to have a good time at an edm concert until this event.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Best after-party for AX
by M. Y. on 7/6/23Everyone I met/knew had a great time. Been to 1 after party each day for AX, and Senpai squad was by far leagues ahead of the others. Stayed there til 2:30 am. Will go to their future events when I can!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Great lineup, likeminded people.
by Dan on 7/4/23Was really impressed with the scheduling and experience. The picks for djs were great (my group loved find_the_rabbit) and impressed with how smooth everything went. It was really fun.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Very fun but overpriced.
by Goku on 7/4/23Overall it was a fun event but it should have been no more then $30. Most Guests of Honor showed up late and didn't mingle with everyone.
