For the second year in a row, the Sheraton Denver West, several miles
from downtown, was the home of Nan Desu Kan. |
Superfan Rob Miles was one of a group of attendees found at a breakfast

previous weekend's Anime Weekend Atlanta. |
This page saw the artist of Futaba-Kun Change in Cedar Rapids in 1999.
In mid-October of 2000, Hiroshi Aro was back in the U.S. |
Richard Noboru Kekahuna of Bandai was also at breakfast. (A little
later, we learned that another U.S. anime company - not Bandai - was getting
ready to announce the acquisition of a major anime title at Nan Desu Kan,
taking one of the biggest series in the business away from another company.) |
Here's a friendly representative of the (determinedly non-political)
Bay Area Anime Society, many of whose members spent the previous weekend
at the new Ani-Magic convention north of Los Angeles. |
