ACEN 2017 (20 years of ACEN)
15 years of ACEN for me. Every year it gets bigger and I get busier for it. Our first year we did a day trip and saw everything we wanted and left happy.
By now we are pros at the convention game. Heading down early for panels and not letting it ruin your mood if you’re past the cut off for example. The dealer room was bigger than ever. I think as a side effect artist alley was tucked and pressed into a corner. It was tight be we got through!
The video games moved to a bigger area and that was great. Normally the line to play the imported games is so long I’ve not felt it worth the time. This year I tied out a good handful. Also they had more room for consoles so I took the time to rent a game as well.
The screening rooms were fine. Either we missed the memo on what the must see anime was or they were not as popular this time around. I know it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but live action bad horror movies were missing this year.
Our adventure ended with a Final Fantasy concert Sunday afternoon.
