moyism: it’s always a good way to kill time if you’re bored, to read con forums right after a con. LOL GRIPELAND.

But yea, AX this year is the dramatic. From some of the more inside people, it seems that there was simply a serious problem with the staff LBCC had and they were not under AX control at all.

Seth, ah. Figured as much as I doubt any type of convention, as you mentioned, goes off perfectly well.

Impz, yea. I think it really just came down to AX not being prepared and thus, dicked over both attendees and GoHs.

drmChsr0, I take any chance I can get to diss GS/GSD whenever possible

Ray, I think while Momoi may have had the worst experience out of anyone there, the general feeling I’ve gotten is a lot of people simply got screwed over. But yea, it royally sucks to the 10th degree what Momoi had to deal with; I’m just glad her fans helped make up for 90% of that.

Hinano, very true. Guess I choose a great time to attempt Otakon huh? lol

omo, yep I agree with everything you just said. Great job on posting one of the first post on AX; the links to the specific forums given gave me a few hours of entertainment as I read through what folks dealt with XD

jp, yep!

Jason, yep. As omo mentioned, if you read through some of the AX forums, a lot of people voiced the same exact opinion you said.

wildarmsheero, yep I doing it. No clue about any type of Anime Nano since I’m doing this on the fly. Wouldn’t mind one though. Maybe I’ll try to set something up…

Ah, so you’re going to Otakon? Do you happen to know if there will be something of an Anime Nano meet? If so, I would not mind being in attendance.

While I still don’t understand the idea of Anime conventions…. It seems like they all have a organization problem and need like some real professional management and organization.

Oh, I get it. The problem with AX this year was that it was planned out by the director’s wife!

If you dig around on the AX forums they talked about what really was the problem this year.

I personally think it’s just that this is their first time at LBCC in a few years, plus there are more people at AX than ever before. Otakon had the wisdom to stick to the same venue and cap attendance…

Well. Con management is pretty complicated. Who knows what else went wrong.

The most organized cons are the small ones. Otakon has never been organized in all the 3 years I have gone and with Tomokazu Seki, AAA and that chick who plays Matsuri in Sola, I imagine the insanity will be at its peak.

[…] opposed to this move are either non-entities or too absorbed in other news, like LOL ELITISM and LOL AX […]

One should never screw over a former fangirl turned into a pro - they screwed MOMOI! Why? Just because she isn’t super huge for the moment? She didn’t even get a hotel to stay at? All her events were going to get canceled completely? Wow…Great convention they organized.
