The convention brought over 900 anime and japanese comic fans from across the country. Some of the weekends activities included anime screenings, costume contests and a midnight rave. Smaller conventions like this one are sometimes better than the large ones, claims some of the vendors.

"Actually the smaller cons are a lot more fun for actually getting exposure, for going around to smaller towns and just kind of promoting the brand. The sales are always, you know...I mean I made back what I spent so thats all you can really hope for," said Tatiana Kalba.

During the convention there was also a canned food drive in support of the Huntington Area Food Bank.

Tsubasacon is the only convention focusing on Japanese animation and comics in the state of West Virginia.
