Convention Review: Anime Nebraskon 2011

Where: Omaha Nebraska
When: November 4th-6th 2011
Cost: $29-$47
Guests: Christopher Sabat, David Brehm, Keith Silverstein, Matt Greenfield, Chris Cason, Stephanie Young, Tiffany Grant.
Grade: B+

PROS:
Fun opening and closing ceremonies, great guests, short lines or no lines at all, lots of varied panels, excellent 'Tales of Con Horror' panel, the schedule came out two weeks before the convention, friendly hotel staff, friendly congoers, hardly any otaku funk.

CONS:
cramped and hard to find dealers room with not much variety, miscommunication among staff members, problems with the hotel showers.

OVERALL:
Despite some minor issues, Nebraskon was a fun convention with the kind of vibe you'd expect from a smaller Midwestern con. Going to Nebraskon feels like going back to your little hometown where everybody knows everybody and you're all like one big family. I would highly recommend this convention to anyone looking for a small con with a big heart and a lot of fun things to do. $29 is a steal for a convention as good as this one.
