On June 4 2022, the FNN team went to The Awesome Con Convention and had a blast. We got to see a bunch of things like cosplayers, stores, and voice actors. My experience there was fun. I got to meet a lot of anime fans and play Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Sabor Punks and Street Fighters with other people. I also hung out with my friends. We checked out swords, necklaces, bracelets and posters at the stores.
There were also people dressed as characters from different shows and video games like Naruto, One Piece, Pokemon, Mortal Kombat, Halo and more. I got to talk to some people about our favorite anime shows. And I bought a Zoro sword keychain. I had so much fun and would definitely go another time. My favorite cosplayer was a dude dressed as Saibot. I rate my experience there a 10/10 and I would love to go next year.
