CONS 101: Anime Convention Basics [EZ Printable Format] [Bibliography]

by Frank Sanchez
Frank is co-webmaster of AnimeInfo.org and its main designer. He also works for an annual Anime Convention in the Midwest, Anime Central. An anime/manga fan for the past 10-12 years with varying tastes (including Ranma 1/2, Evangelion, Kenshin, and Nadesico, among others), Frank insists that he is absolutely normal, eliciting laughter from pretty much anyone who meets him.

Overview


Let's say you're a fan of Japanese animation and/or manga, and you've read and watched quite a bit of stuff. Maybe you've taken in one series that you've completely devoured and enjoyed, or maybe you've liked tons of old and new series alike. The only bad thing is that there aren't that many people around that like anime or manga, or if there are, you're a very small group. You'd like to meet more people that share your love of the medium but you don't know where to look. Look no farther than the convention, a tradition that has been around for years that brings together people of the same type of interest into one central location for a weekend of events, social interaction, and fun. Anime is no different, and the adoption of the convention has become one of its best ways to bring both fans and industry people together in appreciation of it.

Attending anime conventions, however, can be an overwhelming thing, especially if it's your first con and you don't quite know what to do or what to expect. However, Frank is here to help you out and walk you through what conventions are with regards to anime and manga, as well as give you a crash course on what you need to do to make your convention experience a good and also a safe one. You'll learn about things such as what to do and what not to do when it comes to conventions, as well as see what kinds of things go on at anime cons. With this class in hand, you'll at least have a basic understanding of what attending is like!
