Anime Discussion

I'm curious to know how many of you attend anime conventions and what your experiences have been like.

I've been to Anime North over here in Toronto. I first started going around a decade ago and haven't missed the convention since then (except when it was cancelled for COVID). I normally just wander around the Vendors Hall and look at all the figurines that will break my wallet if I were to buy them.

Recently I started visiting panels which I generally have avoided in the past. You'll get some good panels that are fun, but you'll also get some absolutely awfully-run panels that makes you question how they even got to host those panels.
