I went on Day 1. It was kind of deserted, especially the Yuu Kikkawa concert.

If you don't mind me asking, how many people showed up? I thought something like that would be popular actually.

What if we held an anime convention, and no one came...?

It looks like they had a truly awesome litany of vendors... and it also looks like they had practically no attendees. It'll be interesting to hear the final results, but I was completely confused why they wanted to do this in California a month after Expo and basically right after SDCC.

I guess there is such a thing as too many anime conventions in one state in the span of about a month.

There's an old phrase that goes "this is an embarrassment of riches." I guess that this is the sort of thing that it references. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing after all. People are more respectful of those things that they don't usually get access to, since it makes them more special.
