Which con should I go too? - 91.8 The Fan

08-10-2011, 10:34 PM

Hey everyone, I'm in need of Con advice! The next two cons (that I know of) in my area are Katsucon and MangaNEXT. However, they're only a week apart! There's no way I can go to them both so I figure I ask here! Which Con would be the best one I can go cover as press?

I've been to MangaNEXT before and it was pretty cool. I've written an article about it if you're curious.

I've never been Katsucon before though. It seems that they're gonna have a maid cafe. That's totally worth "reporting" on, because I'm sure you'll love an article about going to a Maid Cafe!

Any thoughts?

Katsucon, try a variety of convention :3

Katsucon has a long history and usually gets big guests for it.

Honestly I'm kind of interested in Katsucon myself, though I've never been to either con. As for other possible cons, I'm debating attending Nekocon in November. It's a bit farther off though, so it may be out of your range, I dunno.

Nekocon is out of my range

Katsucon is though, and appears to be the most popular option (as of this posting, this may change later). So to Katsucon I will go!

Go to Leviathan Mist-con, to be held at my house, on any day. Attending will be such famous guests as Leviathan Mist, Leviathan Mist's cat, Leviathan Mist's computer, and more!

...k.

Come to manganext. I am planning on taking my sister. We usually spend our time at anime next. T.T (is poor college kid who cant afford convention costs WAAAH!) but we are going to try to make time this year for a little more. I want to go to a smaller convention.

Bargain Gamer · 08-31-2011, 10:30 PM

Manganext, huh? That's actually within my range. I... I will need to consider this.

And to think, a year ago I thought Otakon was the only con within 5 hours of me.

09-01-2011, 12:31 PM

well I say go to both "if you have the money"
I can recomend none cause I havent been in those cons

01-02-2012, 11:18 PM

So, is any one else going to Katsucon? I totally need a hotel roommate or a person living nearby I can with! Anyone?????

OtakuManiac · 01-09-2012, 05:11 PM

I'd go to a con if I had the money. I've never been to one so does anyone have suggestions?

Amazingly enough, Katsucon may be perfect for you! Since you live in Virgina, you may be able to get to Washington D.C. (the con's location) with ease! There's even a cool guy who you can share a hotel room with to cut down on hotel costs!

01-10-2012, 10:58 PM

Might I also suggest looking through animecons.com --- also, you should check your area for concerts and festivals as well since those can be just as fun as conventions.

Really? And who is this cool guy? :D And the only other problem is that I'm a college student without a license and car so...yeah T.T
