Naka-Kon 2015
What up my glip-glops?! So, here I am waiting for Better Call Saul, no, Justified, nope, The Americans to come on (oh this is late), and I figure I've had plenty of
time to digest the latest Naka-Kon.
First, overall, it was pretty good. Prettay, prettay good. A positive experience and a good convention organized competently by people that don't get enough appreciation. We saw a lot of
enthusiastic people there, in a lot of great costumes having a lot of fun. As usual we went to some panels, did some rave documenting, did some shopping, went to some events, saw some games, and
some gamers, and it was all an entertaining well run affair.
The Good, The Bad, and The Cosplay: Naka Kon 2014 Review
Naka Kon is Kansas City’s largest anime convention and, being a Kansas City native myself, a home town favorite of mine. This year over 8000 fans came together over St. Patrick’s day weekend, and remarkably so due to the fact that another local comic book convention chose to hold their event the same weekend. Naka Kon has seen growth year to year and much of that can likely be attributed to the improvements that are implemented annually. From bigger and better programming to the improved functionality of the con as a whole, Naka Kon is proving to be a mainstay in the Midwest con circuit with a very promising future.
