Great info, thanks.
I’ve never attended any of the cons and see that there will be 2 in my area soon!! (Kawa Kon and Anime STL)
Just wondering if anyone has ever attended and if you might have an opinion as to which one I should attend. As much as I’d like to go to both, I can’t really afford it.
My main objective is pretty much shopping so I’m looking for the most variety and number of vendors.
Next priority are cool panels/events that my 11yr old son & I would enjoy. So, I’m looking for kid friendly activities. (I know he will probably spend a good amount of time watching in the anime room depending on the variety.)
Can’t think of anything else to ask, but I’d love to hear any input from anyone who’ve attended either of these cons in the past.
FYI Anime St Louis wasn’t listed in this post… I had found it else where, but it’s supposed to kick off March 27th.
@ Rainblue
Our pleasure…hopefully the info was helpful
@ Annie
Good luck on your con experience. I’m afraid I haven’t been to either of the ones you mentioned.
I post 2 months of cons at a time. The longer lists get a bit unwieldy. Anime St. Louis will appear
on the next 2 lists.
