And We’re off to AX 08!

And so it begins...

And so it begins… the four of us head off to California.

Our flight leaves for Los Angeles in a couple hours and I’ve got to say we’re pretty excited. Myself plus Rho, Kazeryu and JMPspin are all going to be attending AX for the full duration, and we hope to see you there. Leave a message if you wanna get in touch.

Throughout the event, we’ll be giving updates whenever we have a time to gasp for air and take a rest. Our hotel is the closest one to the convention center, so feel free to drop in if you give us prior notice XD.

For all of you who are going, hope to see you there! For all of you who aren’t, stay tuned to hear what fun stuff goes down at this con, pictures will be included!

Emerald City ComiCon ‘08 - An Overview

EMERALD CITY COMICON ‘08 - AN OVERVIEW

The Emerald City ComiCon is a 2-day long Seattle-wide comics convention hosted in the Washington State Trade and Convention Center. The convention, like Sakuracon, centers around merchandise booths, artists booths, and seminars. However, at ECC, cosplay/costuming makes a very limited appearance, animation is not shown, and there are no concerts or other massive events. ECC is a much smaller festival, with much less hype, and much cheaper (depending on how you spend your money) than Sakuracon. While this all so, the ECC is a convention that has much to offer in the areas outside of Japanese manga/anime, especially in the realms of superhero, sci-fi, alternative, and avant-garde comics from the States.

We at BrokenAnime wish that this following overview will offer you an accurate insight into the ECC, and hopefully encourage you to attend if haven’t in the past, and perhaps expand your horizons into the many facets of American comics. This overview will cover the basic descriptions of the ECC, then will review the great aspects as well as what we’d like to see in the future from the ECC.

If you don’t like reading too much, you can skip down to the bottom of the text sections and read “TO SUM IT ALL UP” instead.
