Neko Nation 2012

Neko Nation would love to thank everyone for an absolutely epic 2012.  This year we finally toured all of Australia and we managed to pull of two shows in every city!  We broke our banks by dramatically investing in increased budgets into our shows, (our last Perth one cost 8x as much as the first show to put on!) but it was all worth in the end to see record crowds come out to our shows.

We held massive events all over Australia, including our very first official convention after party and all ages event taking place inside the Adelaide Convention Centre in AVCon.  This was an amazing special event as we never dreamed of such a huge event and we're very thankful for AVCon to help us create something this truly amazing.

We had a huge amount of support from all of our sponsors, especially Madman, Siren Visual, Beserk and Anime-X our main national sponsors, plus many other local sponsors.  We've had amazing catgirls with some amazing creative outfits and we even had the boys show them a thing or two with our shows too!  We saw amazing DJ's including massive talents from the hardcore, J-Core and hard dance scene such as Ravine, S3RL, Noc.V, Essi, Requiem and Triex join our events.

We expanded into new events this year by getting involved with Neko Domination, Hyper Dragon, Adelaide Chinatown Harajuku no Yoko and Neko @ The Pad.  Our favourite by far was Adelaide Chinatown Harajuku no Yoko, a local community event dedicated to cosplayers and lolitas looking for a place to hang out with the goal to create an atmosphere similar to Harajuku featuring stalls, DJ's, photographers and prizes, it was a great night for all which has been officially recognised and supported by the South Australian government and featured on Channel 10 news and The Project.

With new venues, even bigger budgets and international guests planned, expect an even bigger year from us, as we're working on making 2013 even greater, with even more free sushi served by catgirls for all our attendees!
