Convention Report for FanimeCon 06’
written
by Master Jedi
Fanime
turned out to be a great convention. There was plenty of
action to go around, being that this is an Anime, Fantasy,
or anything goes kind of con. Just as last year, the
Convention was located at the San Jose Convention Center,
with the Hilton and The Marriot on both sides of the
convention center. There were also several other hotels near by so the tired
cosplayer can get some seep in their rooms.
As with
every convention there were some positive and negative
points.
Some of
the positive points included, huge convention room space ,
a place for registered fans to get snacks or drinks, Huge
Exhibit Hall, a Huge game room with gaming tables, a large
dealer room with over 100 vendors, Artist alley, several
24 hour video anime rooms, panels, Guests of Honor, Great
surrounding locations and photo spots, Masquerade. The
convention itself was a 24 hour con, so there was plenty
of time to see and do everything and be with friends. The
security was good, especially during the masquerade where
guards were seeing who was misbehaving.
Some of
the negative points regarding the convention included,
some events, and panels overlapped each other, The food
was expensive, had to walk a couple of blocks for less
expensive food. The judging for the masquerade took a long
time. The schedule for events and cosplay gatherings was
hard to find.
Overall
the Convention was a great success; the location was
excellent to host the convention, the staffs for the
convention were both nice and friendly. These points made
Fanime 2006 a great convention to attend.
