Comic Con Talk (Renamed since LA Comic Con can't get it together)

Sun Wukong said

The Mechacon guest lineup this year is really weak. Shockingly so. I'm not sure if major voice talent was booked up previously or what but even people on their Facebook posts are like "I have no idea who any of these people are." But like you said, their vendor room is always really good.

Yeah, in a sense, Mechacon is not really a guest-driven con. At least not the way we've experienced it. They always have voice actors but, at least to me, none of those people are really famous at all. ISTM that the draw of anime is the art and the stories, not really the voicing (not that the voicing can't be done well or enhance the visuals).

We're in much more for the cosplay and the merchandise. Also, several people we know personally or do business with frequently have set up booths at Mechacon over the years, so we always make the rounds of familiar folks to visit when we go.
