Now being involved with the whole con running thing and being an internet anime fan based in the UK, and so using UK anime forums (such as this) I really have no idea to make of this.
Complete bullsh!t? The BEST con venue one could imagine?
What really gets me is the little fact that this was posted as a rumour, but the original "tipster" sent it through as some kind of funny attempt at a press release. I don't know much about the internal shinanigans of other conventions, but if this is really an attempt to create hype, it has missed the mark by a mile. Without an ounce of crediabilty and seeming outright denial from atleast two UK based anime companies it really makes you wonder that if this a hype building exercise, who the hell would be stupid enough to do it?
The only conclusion I can make out of the shambles is that there are some people out there with either too much time, too much imagination (and misdirected imagination at that) and not enough brains.
Then again, I could be wrong, it could be true, and maybe London will be alive to the sound of mass pocky munching and catgirl catfights once more.
a convention set to take place in London
set to run in the summer of 2008
Is this hoax, or real?
We hope the people who tried to launch the disastrous KyuuCON are not involved
