Anime Cons are a different beast than either Game or Fantasy conventions. First of all the age of the people is young. If I wanted to pick on someone my age I would need to pick on 2 or 3 at a time. It is, in some way, an invigorating group.
They are more vigorous and active. At the same time they are very interested in Sue's art and she is busy trying to do all of the ink and grey scale commission artwork she has been paid for. They are also plucking up a good number of prints. Well worth being here.
It gives me a chance to experience a slice of americana that is different from my standard fare. A good sensation.
Their is a lot of coverage of web comics and all things internet. They have panels, movie rooms and a very impressive dealers room and artist alley. Many of the dealers are covering the same items you would find at Fantasy conventions with weapons, jewelers, leatherworks and costume dealers. The addition of a whole range of anime/manga items rounds out the dealers room. There are DVD's, books, anime computer games, posters, comics and anime collectibles. What is not here is any evidence of traditional games or even card games.
We are seeing a lot of interesting costumes of anime and fur suites. Some are extremely well done.
Well, I need to scan some more of the art Sue has been doing. More tonight.
