I definitely think it is worth watching. I personally preferred season one since it seemed darker and more mysterious but overall it has been one of the more enjoyable series I have watched in recent years.

I plan on saying much more about my love for the series in a separate blog post but I will say that I am absolutely excited to see the return of this wonderful series. I am however a but leery simply because all of the actors are sooo much older. Anybody who has watched the Psych episode "Dual Spires" will likely understand what I am talking about.

I tend to go to several cons a year and thought I would ask if anyone here has attended any local (to your area) cons and which they would recommend.

I live in the Midwest so I tend to stay in this area. Anime Conventions I have attended include:

AnimeZing! - (Davenport. IA)

Anime Midwest - (Rosemont, Illinois)

Con Alt Delete - (Chicago, Illinois)

AniMinneapolis - (Minneapolis, MN)

I have not really had any negative experiences at any of these cons and really enjoyed myself during the time I spent there. There also tends to be a lot of gaming that goes on over the course of the weekend (for me at least) and I would highly recommend them. I also found http://blackmateria.org/ - a website with several conventions ran by the same group so if you live in Nashville, Roanoke, or Atlanta you should check them out. I am however hoping to attend more gaming themed conventions in the future. Anybody know of some located in my vicinity?
