Date: Friday August 17, 2018 Time: 8:30-10:00 PM Location: LP1 (Pasadena Ballroom) Hosts: Manuel, Kaz, Eunice Join A-to-J Connections as we take a look at the Visual Kei scene and how it has evolved in the new millennium. Along with history of the genre, we will also delve into the evolution of bands like DIR EN GREY and the GazettE as well as look into current big stars like Pentagon, Kiryu, Vivarush, and more! We will also take a look at the impact Visual Kei has had on the music scene around the world and discuss what the future holds for this hard-to-define "genre". Fun for both fans and newcomers alike! There is a charm about small southern conventions that, honestly, I do not think can be replicated! From young anime fans running around excitedly meeting internet friends to adults sharing a subculture they love with their own children - I think the variety of people who go to conventions has grown and expanded so much throughout my short time at conventions. Anime Festival Orlando, (AFO), was started back in 2000 and has been a strong contender in the Florida Anime Convention scene since!
While the con brings a small crowd, there is plenty of activities packed in the span of 3 anime-filled days*! From the Happy Happy Go Go Cosplay Contest, to the game room, to fan panels, I was excited to experience what this con had in store for me~! |
