Castle Point Anime Convention 2016: Two Days or was it a 1 1/2 Days?

It’s no secret that when it comes to anime conventions being held on college campuses, I am very critical of them.  I admit that I am spoiled in the ways of going to a convention at a hotel and/or a convention center that I expect the same thing across the board.  But then you ask, […]
