The following is a republication of a recap of my first Anime Weekend Atlanta in attendance! It was originally published following the convention in 2009. Since we’re in a situation where there are no cons to attend, unless virtually, in 2020, I figured this would be a good opportunity to wipe the dust off some of these posts, and with a little editing of typos here and there.

A LOT has changed since then, which also brings up a reminder that there are things that once were acceptable, which is now viewed with caution; I am not going to bring it to attention now, but you may figure it out as you read along, especially if you’ve been keeping up with the anime industry in the US in 2019.

This is follow-up video to the convention recap for Anime Weekend Atlanta 2018. With the recap itself recorded longer than I anticipated, I felt it would be easier to make a seperate video of the sights (and some sounds) of the con. I did not record EVERY moment of the con, but I hope it enough to satisfy to wanting to go to the con–if anyone is wanting to go to this con in particular, new or veteran con attendee. Please enjoy! ^_^
