Anime Punch

Description

Known by many names and in many forms, Anime Punch (sometimes under the alias "Bakuhatsu Fest") was a yearly campus event for the OSU Anime Club. Sometimes a picnic, sometimes a marathon, it was good relaxing fun. Then, in 2005 an idea was formed to make it a campus cosplay event. Fearing that there would not be enough interest on campus alone, it was opened up to the public. In fear that cosplay wouldn't be a big enough draw, it was expanded into a "Micro-con," a one day event that packed the same punch as a three day con. Ironically, cosplay ended up being an afterthought in the planning as we all pulled together to make the best micro-con we could. We expected maybe 40 people to show up we got roughly 300! Inspired by how many people showed up, and by how few were actually from campus, we realized our dream of spawning a full convention! Then, in 2006 The Armageddicon had what was probably the most fun convention in Ohio. Over 1000 people showed up for what turned out to be one hell of a weekend! Though we weren't without glitches, everything ran fairly well, and we managed to create the controlled chaos we had strived so hard for. With some of the craziest programming, and some of the smartests (and coolest) guests possible, as well as a number of spontanious events and the light, party atmosphere, Anime Punch has quickly built a reputation for being both a party-con, and a convention that you can really take something away from...
