Yes, I do mean it. CNAnime is the most poorly organized con Ive been to yet. First of all, its not JUST an Anime con, but also one for Science Fiction and comic books. I would have thought that would have made me happy, but no. The only thing really there is a dealer's room, which is mostly for comic books--VERY little for anime. Sci-fi had a little bit more, but not much more =/

The hotel I stayed at was advertised as being 4 blocks from the convention centre--they failed to mention that those 4 blocks were about a mile long >_< I had to walk it wearing my Utena costume, getting odd looks from the locals in the process.

At the con wasn't much better--the people there fer the Sci-Fi and the comics pretty much looked down at anybody in costume. My boyfriend and I were so disgusted by it that we didn't even stay for the last day.

My only highlights were seeing friends from Anime North and getting a free Revolutionary Girl Utena poster from the SoftWare Sculptors booth because I was in an Utena costume (They were keeping them under the tables :). I didn't even get to see Saito-sama and Ikuhara-sama there :( I guess its a good thing I was able to see them at AX!!

In short, I plan to avoid this con (because that is what it is, a "CON"), until such a time as I hear that they've gotten their act together. >/
