As always the event will be a mixture of various fandoms, notably anime, sci-fi, fantasy, gaming and comics. Anime fans will be able to explore the stalls of many specialist retailers dedicated to anime, manga, figures as well as the obligatory cosplay masquerade. Manga UK will be recording a live onstage podcast and will have a stall along with other distributors such as MVM Entertainment. Sci-fi and fantasy fans get it best though, with cast members from shows Merlin and Young Dracula in attendance, as well as the ever popular Warwick Davis and Kai Owen from Torchwood. Gamers will be able to meet the voice of Vaas Montenegro from Fry Cry 3 and enjoy the best of new and old, with demos of |
the latest games on show, retro gaming and Dance Dance Revolution
machines available for playing. Also, two of the developers of
Saints Row IV will be talking about the game on the main
stage. |
Lastly there will once again be Robots Live, which will including
machines from the old yet still popular TV show Robot Wars.
At previous shows this has been accompanied by loud, exciting
commentary akin to that of Craig Charles, so it does make for
a good show. |
