A Good First Convention

A question that I run into every once in a while that I sometimes find hard to answer.

Hard to answer not because I don't know much about anime conventions, but due to the fact that I can be so very biased.  Everyone that has ever been to an anime convention has a story to tell (some more interesting than other XD). Whether it's a good or bad experience can change how you view that particular convention forever. I personally have seen awesome times and very from pleasant times at anime convention, but all in all, I have to say that in their own ways, they were still really enjoyable. Except for... well, fuck Tigercon is all I have to say.

But moving on, back on subject: What makes a good convention for a first timer?

Personally, I would say it takes a nice balance of everything. Some conventions focus on a particular aspect of culture a bit too much for some people. While those cons are great for people who may be into cosplay, voice actors, or even something as specific as furries (yes, they have their own con -__-), having a concentration on something like that can turn someone away from the general them of "Anime Conventions" for good. Starting out on a nice and level playing field helps you find out what really draws in to these events. Being somewhere with a bunch of people screaming like little fangirls about their favorite English voice actor would probably annoy the hell out of someone who appreciates the original Japanese voice actor and the original translation.

But enough of my ranting, I can always do that later where everyone can avoid my massive wall-o-text posts. I'm doing this documentary for YOU and I want to hear how you feel about the subject. Please leave a comment or even feel free to send me an e-mail. This thing is linked to my account, so I'm pretty sure that that info's posted somewhere around here.

So, until next time
