Anime Conventions

[Krisuvial1992]

Does anyone here go to them? I do with my sister In fact we are going to Otakon in August I'm so excited for it!

I went to a smaller one around here once. It was kind of weird and boring for me. I guess it would be more fun if you were going with someone or had a part in an event. It sure was strange seeing "grown ups" in costumes everywhere though.

When my daughter was younger, we used to go to the Chicago Anime Central. It's better when you do go with someone.

I felt the same way when I went to my first one last year. It was quite strange!
Small ones tend to be boring I have noticed. The larger ones have more to offer, so it is more fun.

That's one my sister really wants to go to. It's a bit far for us though...

Not to anime events, because most around me are not really big. And I might feel a bit out of place because, though I like anime, I am not an otaku, I don’t go in cosplay, use Japanese words to speak (like desu, etc.) and most people who attend are 10 or more years younger (at big cons I suspect that more adults are present). Running with the highschool crowd, not my thing

I have gone to general nerdy events though. Like a con where everything is mixed together; medieval/history, fantasy, sci-fi, anime, steampunk, etc.

I would like to go to those big comic cons like in San Diego, New York or Angoulême. Or just any big con. I could easily spend hours and hours at a place where there is much to see.

I've never been to one before, might be fun or scary. Lol

There are way more adults at bigger cons. I don't care much for the smaller ones myself. I go with my sister and friends, so we're all the same age ^-^

That sounds like an awesome con. I love all of those, so...

I really want to go to the San Diego one... I've only heard good things about it! Otakon is the biggest on the east coast, so I can imagine it will be slightly similar.

Both ^-^ I felt really out of place at my first one. But now that I've gone it's all fun

You're going to Otakon? Me too. I live in Baltimore. Maybe we'll run into each other lol.

Yep! I have been in Ani Cons for three times in my life and I really want to be a cosplayer myself.

ermmmmegodd amazing

I went to my local one once and it was sorta boring and I wouldn't have anyone to go with but will cosplay next year anyways

 

[FireRock]

I really like going to cons. I don't mind if they're smaller, as long as they're really well planned out and the crowd is good people.

I've only been to ones in the Midwest, and there don't seem to be many large cons around this area. Well, affordable ones anyway.

I've gone to three or four now, but never cosplayed. My husband has cosplayed at all the ones we've been to, because he's awesome like that. I'd love to cosplay as well, but I haven't found a character I like that wears normal amounts of clothing. *sigh* Someday though...someday!

I have been to
Oni-Con, Anime Matsuri and A-kon

I will be going to Otakon in about a week. I used to cosplay at every con, but these days I don't have enough time to make costumes (I'm not that good at sewing and the ones I've made so far aren't very good and I wouldn't want to wear them again). I go to three cons a year, Anime USA, Katsucon, and Otakon.

I went to them back in the late '90s, I forgot their names, but they were a lot of fun. The ones I went to where in L.A. and forgot what hotel they were at. Got lots of cool things when I went with my friend. I took my cousin and Godson to them as well, but after 2002, stop going due to college. I wish I could go again and take my friend's oldest son, to teach him about Anime and show him all the cool stuff they have.
