Hey tenchi-fans. So I’m considering coming to America next year for a convention. Though I’m not sure which one I should attend. An seeing as you guys on here are the only people I talk to from America, I was wondering what cons you guys might attend or recommend? So I can come over for a holiday and meet up, as well as attend the convention of course.
As far as I’m concerned American Convention far out weight Australian ones. We only have a few such as Supanova, Aus Comic-Con, SMASH and PAX-AUS.
mmmm1

Well are you traveling around the whole of the USA? or going somewhere specific? Is there something in particular that you enjoy out of a con more than others?
When, are you coming?
The top three meat grinders of people are Anime Expo (Long Beach, CA); Otakon (still Baltimore, MA), and
Anime Central (Chicago, IL). Unless you specifically “want” tons of people, or the events at those cons, I would
avoid them. ACen would be the only one I’d even remotely consider under normal circumstances.
Otherwise there are many many conventions throughout the year.
http://animecons.com/ andhttp://www.upcomingcons.com/ will list most of those happening. AWA and MTAC are on my list of cons to hit eventually. My crew will be hitting OMG!Con in June, but that is a much much smaller con. -

Was thinking the obvious tourist spots of course but will to make segway for a decent convention. I don’t particularly like anything about cons, I love panels, stalls and the cosplay. Lots of people don’t mind me. An I’m not sure when I’ll be coming over maybe 2018… -

Well you could make a tour of people from the board, nearest cons they plan to go to, which of course will depend heavily on who’s around then.
Otherwise you might want to hit some of the mid-large size important cons, Sakura-con in Seattle, AWA in Atlanta, I’m sure there’s a couple others. Just figure out your money well ahead of time, it’s going to cost a small fortune to go to multiple cons and have lodging, food, con expenses, and travel all together.

Ninja! Sorry didn’t see this sooner, man. If you’re still looking on coming over, April 2017 I think dagon and I are going to try and be at this con in Columbus, OH (and anyone else reading this who may want to meet up too, could be really fun). I thinkthat’d be your best bet for running into more than one of us, as we’re pretty spread out across the country! https://yoi-con.com/https://yoi-con.com/” class=”bbcode_url”> Reply or PM or whatever, if you’re actually going to all the trouble to come over here and you’re wanting to go to a con/meet up, we might as well try and meetcha’ half way! (So to speak.)
