In my experience, anime conventions have been great places for me to attend and have fun. I've been to quite a few conventions since 2005, and all of them have been great experiences for me in one way or another. But this isn't always the case for others. Anime Matsuri is a convention held in Texas, and...it's become infamous in later years for things like bad business practices, poor treatment of its guests of honor, and sexual harassment on the part of one of the con's founders, among many other crimes, to the point where the hashtag #BoycottAnimeMatsuri became a thing on both Tumblr and Twitter. This past July, Anime Matsuri tried their hand at licensing and dubbing two short anime films. Now, normally, this wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing...if it were any other convention. But not do people already know about the convention's controversies, one of the people who spearheaded these dubs in particular was the nail in the coffin for some: Vic Mignogna. Yeah, I don't think I need to tell anyone about him and his crimes, but after he was rightfully kicked out of the anime industry, he tried to worm his way back into it. Since there's been absolutely no discussion of the actual films he and AM dubbed, nor have said dubs even appeared on the internet, I think its safe to say that his attempt to put himself back in the spotlight failed.

Moment #7: Vic Mignogna's attempt to get back into the industry and failing miserably, and rightfully so.
