In honesty, the target audience is the connecting factor of
anime and video games. Though it is true that most anime shows have video game
franchises, there are some exclusive’s with both. You will only find Red Dead
Redemption on gaming consoles, and there are no video games based on Fruits
Baskets.
In some cases a video game can become an anime, like in the
case of Devil May Cry. So with both worlds being blended together in many
shades, it only makes sense to showcase both. A bigger expo attendance doesn’t
hurt in this model as well.
Based on word of mouth what attendees commented on the most were: the video game booths, food prices, and having a larger venue. The video game booths for tournament and free play helped greatly in eliminating mid-day boredom, but one thing that could be worked in is having on large gaming area so you don't have to search for the game system you want to play. Everyone agreed that food prices were ridiculous and would rather eat before coming, something even I complained about. Outside of food prices being a big comment, most attendees I questioned wanted a bigger venue with more vendors. So overall, this convention is a big thumbs up and the survey results spill those beans.
The survey was the meat and bones of what needs to be kept,
improved, or eliminated all together. Above all results expo attendees showed a
high interest in the subject matter of what LVL UP Expo offers. This vital
piece of information needs the most, and immediate, attention.
These things should take place: a bigger venue for more
content, more printed materials containing subject matter, and better props
that will have attendees geek out quicker than catching a shiny legendary
pokemon.
