It’s been almost 20 years since I was last at Michener Institute for an anime con.\u00a0 The one SO long ago was my first anime con, Anime North 2.\u00a0 Lots has changed.\u00a0 I hardy recognized the area let alone the building that begat Anime North.\u00a0 It seems fitting that 19 years later I be attending that another number 2 event at the very place that started it all.<\/p>\n
Anime Shogatsu is billed as a Japanese New Years event.\u00a0\u00a0 New Years in Japan is coming of age in Japan.\u00a0 Oddly those who celebrated their 20th birthday come of age at New Years.\u00a0 Being this is my 20th year of being involved with anime in one way or another, it is a coming of age.\u00a0 Many of the animes we grew up with are hitting anniversaries themselves.<\/p>\n
Unlike with AN so long ago, I’ve come a long way from taking limited pictures with film. In the end, I had nearly 400 photos and videos on my camera and 3 cameras recording the masquerade. I had positive\u00a0 feedback for webVR I showed to people. A few things didn’t go as planned but each con I learn a little more to make the next better.<\/p>\n
