I've been an anime fan for 6 years now. My favorites are the Slayers series (it got me hooked), Ranma 1/2, Full Metal Panic and Love Hina. I went to Otakon (2003-2005), Manganext (06), Animenext (07), and volunteered at New York Anime Fest (07). I'm really into Harry Potter, Harry Potter fanfiction, and fantasy books like Dark Materials series. IF ANYONE IS GOING TO ANIMENEXT I'LL SEE YOU ALL THERE! Anime Expo 2008 and Intermixi Japan Tours are holding a very awesome sweepstakes for the July 3 to July 6 convention. What is the prize? An all-expenses paid trip to Japan. How do you enter? All you have to do is pre-register. That’s right, all you lucky people attending this year’s Anime Expo have a chance of traveling to Japan for free just for signing up to go. Going to a convention is already sweet, but adding a chance to go to the place where anime originated is nirvana. I have never felt so jealous of West Coast people before.
In order to enter the sweepstakes attendees must pre-register before June 15, 2008. At the opening ceremonies on July 3 the two extremely lucky winners will be announced. They will then get to choose to go on either the Kame Hame Kansai Tour, the Neo-Tokyo Tour, or the Tokyo Game Show Tour. To see what is involved in these tours, visit the Intermixi site.
For anyone still thinking over whether to register for Expo, I think you just found your reason.
