What is NatsuCon anyway?

“Natsu” comes from Japanese word for Summer, and “Con”- well, “Con” is short for Convention. The two combine to form “NatsuCon” a summertime convention in St. Louis, Missouri.

During the summer, various conventions are held around the country, and around the world; from Defcon to to Comic Con to Otakon… The only problem is, they’re hours away!

The goal of NatsuCon is to provide St. Louis with an easily accessible convention packed with star-studded guests, entertaining live acts, talented artists, and lots and lots of pocky.

NatsuCon is an anime convention, meaning it will focus on Japanese animated features, manga stories, voice actors and actresses, and Japanese traditions. All attendees are allowed to and encouraged to dress up as their favorite characters, and will even have a chance at winning awards for best costumes!

If you don’t watch anime regularly, or don’t get what it’s about, or maybe even don’t know what it is, you are still welcome to join us this year at NatsuCon 2010! With your help we’ll make it a great second year!
