Convention Complete! (Anime Impulse) (Patreon)
Content
Akumi got her very first convention booth 14 years after release! It was a unique experience. The first 3-4 hours we're energetic, exciting and hyper but the last 5-6 hours is when we started to fill exhaustion set in.
We we're the only booth there with monitor displays playing animation. Most artists there we're selling print merch, posters of known anime characters. Akumi being an original character I think confused a lot of people. Dave said he heard a lot people passing by saying what is this? Who we're our most attentive and most eager fans? Unfortunately, is was a younger audience that should not be anywhere near my content. :P It makes sense though, their eyes we're mesmerized by the colorful characters jumping around and fighting on the screens.
All in all it was a positive experience. We met a handful of fans who knew our works and a lot of AQW players as well. But I think the best time to do the next convention will be when the Akumi Wars game demo is ready this year.
My brother-in-law was the highlight of our booth stay. :D ( the pic with the tall guy on the left talking to the Deadpool/Storm Trooper ) He loved it, drinking, eating the asian food and taking photos for us. He took it all in and enjoyed the hell out of it. Got us coffees and beers to pull us through. You can thank him for the lovely pics of cute cosplay girls above too.
Later, I'll be posting an awesome convention related fan art pic from an amazing Patron artist. Until then...
Onwards and Upwards my Friends!
