I've heard of that. Where is it? They usually have a lot of conventions like that here in LA, Long Beach, and Anaheim.
No I haven't been but I've been dyyyying to go to one. |

 My name's Katt. Nice to meet you! Group: Member Posts: 3,826 Joined: Jan 2005 Member No: 93,674 |
Um.. I think it's pointless to go to a convention about anime cartoons. What are people going to do? Dress up like Sailormoon or Tohru and run around hugging people?

Dress up like Sailormoon or Tohru and run around hugging people? Youve obviously never been to one. Theres litterally so much to do its impossible to do it all. I went to Anime Weekend in Atlanta, and it was amazing. They were showing anime in some rooms, for your viewing pleasure. They had cosplay contests, AMV contests, they had interviews with dubbing actors, they had card games, DND games, video game tournies, dealer booths where you could buy anything from a harry potter scarf to hentai to swords, and of course they had other booths where people advertised stuff and sold their own drawings and things like that, plus tee shirts and various anime "props" like Miroku's staff and the like. And thats just everything I saw on my way from one end to the other. There was so much more that went on through the night that I didnt get to see. |

Roffle, Roffle. Phil, you went to an animee convention
 I've never been to one. It sounds like fun, though. They actually just had one in Atlanta not too long ago. It was "AWA" or something. A couple of my friends went and they said it wasn't too bad. |

^lol yah i've never been to one either
I'm not exactly sure what you do there? And i'm not obsessed with anime or anything, i mean there is only one manga/anime that i love, and the others i'm not interested in. (that would be fruits basket :)) But naw, never been to a convention, lol i probably won't go to one either unless i'm there with a friend for..uh..emotional support? lol |

^ Anime conventions are also awesome. Because sometimes the voices of teh characters come and you get to meet them. I think 2 years ago I went and met the voice of Heero Yuey from Gundam Wing. and such and saw the new animes coming out and got samples posters and stuff.

From the Newtype issue I subscribed to back then. they have a list of anime conventions coming to many different locations and such. When I get my magazine back I will post up the dates and the locations.

I searched it online a while ago, and the dates seems to match up to me, so I thought I'd post it here. Well, the link anyway.
