This post is related to my September 14, 2014, Twitter review of the Nan Desu Kan convention. Here's a link to the thread.
This review shares a thread with my review of the TEDxMileHigh Convergence event, which I covered in my previous post.
Nan Desu Kan is an annual anime convention held in Denver. It's the largest anime convention in Colorado and the 13 surrounding states. The 2018 Nan Desu Kan event takes place August 31 through September 2nd. Here's a link to the event.
One part of Nan Desu Kan I loved in 2014 was the fan vids. Here are some of the fan vid artists I saw at Nan Desu Kan. Here is a video by Vivifx.
Here is a video by lolligerjoj.
Here's is a fan vid for Mawaru Penguindrum by Brianna King. I don't think this was the Mawaru Penguindrum fan vid shown at the 2014 Nan Desu Kan, though.
By now -- even in 2014 -- people knew that fan vids, AMVs, are works of art in themselves. They can be really beautiful, really funny, etc.
I also watched a panel on Sailor Moon while at Nan Desu Kan. I didn't actually know that Sailor Moon had had a live-action TV show! Wow!
I hadn't actually known until researching for this blog post that there had ALSO been a plan for a live-action American TV show of Sailor Moon! Looks like it would have been wonderfully awful -- something like the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers meets Limozeen: "but they're in space!"
My Twitter thread also talks about a panel put on with Japanese lolita fashion label Angelic Pretty. I really liked them, so it was cool to see them. Here's a link to the Angelic Pretty website.
While at Nan Desu Kan I also met with the band Kazha. They have a J-pop style, but sing in English. They're really cool people -- I chatted with them for a bit. I also bought their album Evolution. Here's a song from that album.
Apparently Kazha has very recently announced a comeback. That's pretty cool! I definitely wish them a lot of success. They're really awesome people. I hope to meet them and watch them and chat with them again one day.
