#31 - Con-versations! - Ichibancon 2018

Author: Third Impact Anime Podcast January 27, 2018 Duration: 1:28:44

Third Impact did a good. We went to a con. 

Unfortunately, the podcast recording did a bad. 

We didn't lose much other than Tobias' intro (but you guys know him already) and Austin's breakdown of the convention which you can find here, now! 

Ichibancon is an anime convention in Concord, North Carolina. 2018 is it's 9th year running and it's the second largest anime convention in the state right under Raleigh's Animazement. It features the usual convention content like cosplay, panels, and dealers but also had a fantastic game room and some stand-out guests. The major guests this year were Dante Basco (Hook, Avatar: The Last Airbender), Cassandra Lee Morris (K-On!, Sword Art Online, Madoka Magica), and Vic Mignogna (Fullmetal Alchemist, Star Trek Continues). 

[We also lost a little bit in the middle so if it rapidly cuts, that's why. Our bad]

BUT! More important than all that is what we did, which is what we spend this episode breaking down. 

We discuss:

Dealers, artists, panels, cool cosplays, some lunatic pulling the fire alarm, Godzilla and her inflatable children, butt touching among friends, bootleg video game dealers, other cool panelists, Daicon IV, Ryan wanting to fight Charles Dunbar, Porgs, Pop Team Epic, Edwin, impromptu panels, Jon actually buying something, Chinese food, Bill phoning in kinda, Devilman, and twitter questions!

Every other week, the conversation starts around a microphone with a group of longtime friends who have spent years hosting panels at anime conventions. Third Impact Anime Podcast is built from those late-night hotel lobby debates and packed conference room discussions, channeling that energy into a deep dive into the medium we love. This isn't just a review show; it's an exploration of the threads that connect classic series to today's trending hits, always with an eye on the artistic choices and cultural history that shape them. You'll hear us unpack new releases and revisit forgotten gems, share stories from the convention floor, and occasionally sit down with special guests from across the anime community. The result is a podcast that feels like hanging out with the most knowledgeable fans you know-the ones who can't help but talk a little too much about the details that make anime so compelling. Join us for a bi-weekly look at the artistry and passion that fuels this global phenomenon.
