Thanks to everyone who organised and attended The Liverpool Anime Con yesterday.
The Organisers did an incredible job and of course everyone who attended created a fantastic atmosphere.
So glad I stayed for the Karaoke, so many great tunes and voices.
See you all in Manchester.

I would've loved to stick around for that, been wanting to do Karaoke for ages, but it would've meant we got back to Sheffield far too late.

Due to ending up in the local Hospital due to a rib injury we were back ridiculously late anyway.

I might try and get to Manchester in April, it's just after my birthday, need to wear a more appropriate costume though, I'll raid the Barn.

We're doing all 3 days in Manchester. 3 costumes and doubtless 3 fabulous days.

At least I can just about move today, couldn't even crawl out of bed yesterday without intense pain.

Hi I attended the Liverpool event with my daughter and her friend. I just wanted to say how well it was organised. The people from your team were really friendly and helpful. Everyone seemed to have a great time. If I had one minor quibble it was that there was nowhere to buy food that I could find anyway. Brilliant event and we will be returning next year. Peace

For future reference, about 5 minutes down the road from the venue there's a McDonald's.

Just remember to keep your entry bracelet on then you won't have to pay to go back in.

This is my 3rd time going to this Convention and I did enjoy it.

However, I noticed a few vendors selling AI-Generated crap and was very disappointed to have seen they had been allowed to sell this slop.

Also, 90% of the Vendors were the exact same from the other 2 I went to. Also same events, same competitions, etc. Would like some things new to come to as it's starting to get a little boring having the same of pretty much everything plus AI slop and warning my friends not to buy anything from certain vendors they were looking at, warning them its AI-slop.

The raffle I feel on Saturday at least as that's the day I was there could've been done better, as after an hour, people were leaving the 2nd Stage as it was tedious. I suggest using the projector screen to list all the Raffle numbers up on so people could see the numbers, as it was very difficult to hear what numbers were called out. After an hour, my group just left as it was getting annoying.

Might go to the next one in August but if it's just the same stuff again, it will most likely be my last as it's the same everytime, just now with AI-generated scammers pretending to be Artists.
