The University of Miami Anime Club is hosting their second annual anime convention, Miami Hurricon, on April 14. Yours truly will be hosting panels during the event on behalf of ROG. Although the con schedule has not been released yet both of these panels have been confirmed.
- The History of Vocaloids and their Fandom
- Spot the Fakes: How to Avoid Ripoffs and Other Unlicensed Goods
Hurricon does have many other things to offer. Two guests have been confirmed, Marianne Miller who’s an American voice actress for English dubs and Little Kuriboh creator of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. A costume contest will be held again this year and so will a video game tournament sponsored by Anime Gaming Experience. This a free event anyone who lives nearby shouldn’t miss. You can RSVP on the Facebook event page and like their official Facebook page to keep updated about their plans and future events.
I hope to see a great turnout this year, and if you can come drop by one of my panels that would be awesome!
UPDATE: Unfortunately, due to a scheduling conflict Marriane Miller will not be at this year’s Hurricon. But her husband (Little Kuriboh) is still coming as scheduled.
