Matsuricon 2025
August 29th - August 31
Greater Columbus Convention Center
Anyone here goin?
Any panels sound interesting?
Will you be staring wistfully into your overpriced Naruto themed drink at the attached bar?
What you cosplaying?
I always find myself having a better time here than I expect, and there was more than one fairly active thread for this con last year with a surprising number of people attending so figured I'd make a thread this year.

Eh, if I'm not mistaken, last year the thread made the day before the con ended up being active, so not too concerned. Do hope people are going though, last year I went alone and had a surprisingly great time, in part due to gulls having gone.

I'll be going, I'm retiring my nostalgia critic cosplay though and opting for just wearing an indie animation shirt.
Hope to see some anons there.
Also, I'm getting older but still want to have a fun time. Open to recommendations on what to do there.

Not sure what you feel too old to do but they still have that open mic karaoke which I might try this time if I get drunk enough

They donโt even have Love Live: School Idol Festival in the game room. Fuckers. Guess itโs time to check out the rave then. Bastards.

I ended up going, getting stopped at the door because I had a bag, going to walk it back to my room, and then accidentally passing out there since Iโd been up for 30 hours. They better have fuckin AMVs playin when I go tonight tho.

We didn't realize this con had a maid cafe until the last day. They were doing a armor workshop thing and we made keychains. Pretty cool.

This was my first con in like 5 years after being bored with how swamped colossalcon got when anime became for normlords, loved it! So many kind and fun people.
And, space to actually move around freely! Woo!

It's no humongous party like Colossalcon, which, in a way, is a good thing really, but it's usually a good time. Personally had a less fun time this year but I also mismanaged my time and went with someone who killed the vibe a little for me. Was also a little disappointed I didn't see any gulls like the previous year, that's always interesting. Next year I'll prolly just solo again.

Con was fun this year. Shoutout to that Shiki and Fujino I saw in the parking garage. And the Bojji/Kage duo.

Somehow they knew all the 80s and 90s shows but no one in the room knew K-On's OP.
