I have to say Anime Town was well put together. A very well rounded convention. They had a good lineup of guests, a robust vendor section and a spacious event location. The Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy UT is one of my preferred event spaces. The Oddities Expo is also held here every year. As well Isekai next year.
I only dressed up one day this weekend (Team Tengen!), the other days I just took photos. Communicating with staff about the Press Pass was really straightforward and easy, I always appreciate that. Staff over all was very friendly and helpful. With the exception of the weapons check guy who didn't realize my friends swords were attached to her costume on her back, he yanked them off and ripped her costume. Unfortunate mistake, but is what it is, we were able to reattach it more or less. Guest wise, I was stoked to meet the voice actor John Gremillion who voiced Vampire Hunter D. It was the first anime I ever watched and I have a large Vampire Hunter D tattoo on my arm that I got to show him. We also met Tara Sands, who voices Bulbasaur on Pokémon. Turns out she also voiced the evil baby on Jojo's Bizarre Adventure! Which she deeply apologized for. I died laughing. Ollie had never seen it and I made him watch that episode when we got home. Friends suffer together after all! It's definitely one of the more weird episodes from that season. Big thanks to Jessica for being my assistant and carrying my lighting! Definitely looking forward to next years event! Comments are closed.
