With only one week left until the official start of the New York Anime Festival, it might be helpful for con-goers to know which musical guests are worth taking a look at. Of course, we’ve already reported on Minori Chihara making a guest appearance at the convention, but since then, we’ve been rather quiet about who the others are going to be. Without further ado, the guest list is as follows:
- Puffy AmiYumi – You might know them for the ending to Naruto Shippuuden.
- VAMPS – Mostly because of HYDE from L’arc~en~Ciel.
- Boom Boom Satellites – The guys who did the opening to Bounen no Xam’d.
So there’s plenty of action for this convention and hope to see some positive reports trickle down!
Club2theMAX Schedules Anaheim Convention during July 4th holidays.
Apparently, Club2theMAX, a new convention is seeking to make something out of its admittedly odd choice for a convention date. Club2theMAX, self-described as a place where fans and industry can meet (presumably related to all things Japan) will be held on July 1-3, 2011 in Anaheim, CA at the Anaheim Convention Center.
For veteran convention goers, you’ll know that this Southern California convention will clash with another well-known SoCal convention: Anime Expo. Where this convention looks to differ is the fact that it’s charging no admission, so for the budget conscious, that might be an appealing proposal.
Nothing’s been set yet though. Their website is trying to raise interest in activities such as concerts, cosplay, dances, and whatnot, but as of yet, there’s no schedule out. I’m admittedly a skeptic where this is concerned, but will be keeping an eye out on them nonetheless.
