I spend the first few hours of the convention hanging around the Le Chanticleer room where at first there weren't any cosplayers heading over to the room at all. I'm sure this will be something that convention staff will address in the coming years. Very first two hours of this convention was spent in a line to get my pre-registered badge - and part of that was standing in the rain before they moved the line to a more dry spot. When I first arrived at the venue, I thought that Anime Conji was going to be held at the resort's Convention Hall. (They doubled their attendance this year compared to their first year.) While the convention still was pretty much using meeting rooms and hotel rooms instead of a actual convention hall, as more people attend the convention (especially those who get hotel rooms) the more floor room the convention will eventually have. Obviously, this convention is a new fledging convention only in it's second year, but it's growing exponentially. Please PM me through or direct message on twitter.Īnime Conji was first founded last year as a Anime convention alternative to the much extremely bigger, more well-known and more expensive San Diego International Comic-Con. I will most likely not see any emails you send to me since I get more spam then a military kitchen. I'll get to talking about Photoshop later in this post - and why I posted even my own horrible mistake shots in the gallery. If you just want to see the gallery, the photobucket link is here.īefore I get started with the rest of this blog post - if you are one of the cosplayers in this blog post or in the my photobucket gallery - you are more then welcome to ask me to remove pictures from this post or the gallery, as well as ask for the original-sized photos (they're pretty big in resolution and file size, you have been warned!) if you want to do your own photoshop touch-ups. For now though, you got this blog post to check out some early preview photos as well as my thoughts and opinions on the convention and those who attended. I have taken roughly over 700 pictures over the weekend, which is a much higher volume of pictures that I was expecting to take entering the weekend - and it's going to take some amount of time to get them all up. And over the weekend, a up-and-coming anime convention called Anime Conji was held at the Town and Country hotel and resort in the Mission Valley area. ↳ The Online AMV Iron Chef Tournament v4.As the right side bar of this blog says, I live in the San Diego, California area.↳ Project OrgEditor Season 3: The King of Spring.↳ 2013 AnimeMusicVideos.Org Viewer's Choice Awards.Do we want the panel again? Dinner? Where and when? The more input the better. So this was my take on last year's Meet & Greet. Is identifying videos in the poster too hard? Last year, I think only 3 or 4 people actually tried to win it. Something else I want to know, do you guys like the poster I create each year for everyone to sign? I ask because it takes a lot of effort on my part to make it, but if it's not appreciated then I'd rather not spend the time each year to put it together. ![]() Granted they did it, but they weren't happy about it. Also, Honda-Ya wasn't very accommodating about having to split the checks up. Unfortunately, some found it too uncomfortable to want to do it again. ![]() It made people get up and wander so they could stretch their legs. ![]() I blame having to sit on the tatami mats for that. Segue, the dinner the night before was a great atmosphere for mingling. 2, the set-up wasn't that great for those who wanted to mingle. 11am on day 2 or 3 may not have been as bad, but day 1 people were still getting settled so either came late or couldn't come at all. Two issues I didn't like about how it went: 1, we got scheduled way too early on day 1. Editors got a chance to promote themselves individually showing previous works, and lots of people earned awesome prizes for "Naming that AMV". We had an entire panel room to ourselves for 2 hours.
