[Vicious]

Anime conventions always sounded stupid to me. It's not like a star trek convention where everyone there is centering around a specific series or a political convention where they center around a specific ideology. It's a convention where the only similarity between all the participants is that they watch a specific type of cartoon. When it comes right down to anime, I like specific types and hate other types, just like any other media, like movies, books and TV shows. In the end, I'm not going to be interested in a convention whose central base is something as broad as animation. Just like I'm not going to go to a convention about books or movies in general.

"I like movies"
"me too! we should go to that movie convention where we can find other people that like movies too!"

sounds rather ridiculous when you replace anime with movies, eh?

Well, I mainly go because of the VA's and the studio panels. If it wasn't for them, I probably wouldn't go. The Va's are extremely entertaining and very cool people. The studio panels are informative sometimes and you cna snag some decent freebies. And you also get to watch some anime for free at all the screenings and see if it's worth buying.
