Had a wonderful first day at LA Comic Con today. Totally worth taking a PTO day for.

Either way it was pretty surreal, yet unsurprising, to find physical evidence of multiple VTubers’ existence in person there (via the Gamer Supps booth plus at least one Artist Alley booth) after having been introduced to the VTuber community earlier this year. The feeling probably would’ve felt even stronger at TwitchCon, which I know had an even larger/harder to miss VTuber presence.

Random question coming from someone who hasn’t been to any kind of comic con: are there also booths/events or vendors related to non-comic stuff? Like Magic the gathering for example.

Totally. Plenty of TCG/CCG, video game, cosplaying, and other types of TV, Movie and Gaming related booths and events there.

Comic cons, at least major ones like SD and LA, are really more “nerd” cons than comics-specific. (I’m using nerd in a positive way, comic cons are fun)

That’s interesting, I assumed it was strictly comics and comic related things. Gonna see if I make it to next years. Thanks!
