DeKalb | The fifth Karoshi-Con will feature 11 panels, including voice actor Lucas Schuneman’s revamped presentation on anime and video games. The convention is run by the Anime Association, is 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday in the Holmes Student Center. The 11 panels will take place 10:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., with some panels overlapping others. Alumnus Schuneman said he has been involved with Karoshi-Con since 2010, though he wasn’t able to attend last year’s. His panel used to be called “Who Wants To Be a Voice Actor?” and was divided into sections for anime and video game fans. The panel is now called “Wait A Sec...! You Do VOICES?!,” and it will cater to anime and video game fans at the same time, he said. “The video game audience is very different from the anime audience, I’ve found over the years,” Schuneman said. “Not gender, not age, not cosplay or not — just a completely different audience. I’ve found they have different questions.” Karoshi-Con will also feature a video game room with tournaments featuring games like “Super Smash Bros.” and “Guitar Hero III:
What: Karoshi-Con When: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday Where: The Holmes Student Center Cost: Free Legends of Rock” with prizes for the winners. Tournaments for card games like “Magic: The Gathering” will also be hosted. There are 18 scheduled vendors who will be selling art, stuffed animals and apparel from anime and video games, which aren’t too expensive, said Jasmine Cannon, Anime Club president and senior hospitality major. Karoshi-con also features a cosplay contest where people dress up as their favorite character from a video game, anime, manga or movie and compete to see who has the best costume. Lay Chau, junior public health major, is in charge of the cosplay competition and said participants are judged on quality, creativity and sometimes their ability to improv. The convention isn’t exclusively for die-hard anime fans as “it’s a convention for nerds” and the goal is to bring together people with the same hobbies, Cannon said.
