NashiCon 2017

South Carolina’s first and oldest anime convention, held every year in the spring in Columbia, SC!

Main Events:

Anime Dating Game: A game show where in-character cosplayers compete with each-other to win the heart of a bachelor or bachelorette that is also cosplaying, and responding in-character. The lucky Bachelor or Bachelorette, usually a popular and recognizable character like Sailor Moon or Duo Maxwell, will sit on one side of a screen and ask questions to three contestants they don’t know the identities of! At the end of the match a contestant is chosen based solely on the answers they gave during the round.

Cosplay Chess: It’s anime vs. video games this year in an all-holds-barred fight to the death! Drama! Passion! Revenge! Blood! Will we prove once and for all video games are superior, or will it be anime? And what about anime based on video games? Or video games based on anime?

O.T.A.K.U.: Welcome to O.T.A.K.U, the life-sized board game! After three years, Nashicon is bringing it back once more for our 10th anniversary.

Other events include: Cosplay Contest, Formal Ball, Karaoke, Late Night Dances, Gaming events, an Artist Alley, and more!
