Customer Reviews
For Fans, By Fans
Has lots of great tips for congoers, cosplayers and anime fans, and I really enjoy the interview segments with voice actors - interesting stuff you don't usually hear in panels. *thumbs up*
Great resource for interested congoers!
The voice actors' interviews are my favorite bit because everytime they talk about typical questions, it makes me know that my questions are way better than most, even if industry politics may make some uneasy! A lot of this information on convention behavior may seem like common sense, but it is still helpful for you guys to address them.
