GENERAL QUESTIONS:
Q: Why isn't there more information up?
A: This convention is run by students at the University of Oklahoma.

(and more accurate information) as time goes by.

Q: What happened to RuneCon?
A: Unfortunately, when we researched the name Rune Con we found that
another convention had been using the name since before us. So in order to
avoid any confusion we decided to change the name to Ronin Con.
Q: Why do you do this?
A: Two reasons really. First, we do this because we enjoy it.
Second, Ronin Con is the
University of
Oklahoma Animation Society's largest fund-raiser. The funds generated

of spreading awareness of Japanese animation by funding showings and club
activities.

EVENT QUESTIONS: (See the Events Page for more
details.)
Q: I'm going to be cosplaying, what weapons can I bring to
supplement my costume?
A: This one requires some common sense, especially since most
universities are edgy on this topic. Steel knives and swords are not
allowed. Guns must be the plastic toy variety (Orange tips). Exercise your
best judgment on this. If you think it will be a problem, it's probably best
not to bring it. If you aren't sure then please contact a
member of the Con staff prior to arrival and we can definitely tell you if
your item will be OK or not.
Q: Do you show anime dubbed or subbed?
A: Due to popular demand, most of the anime shown is subtitled.
However, if a title can only be shown dubbed, or if there's good reason to
show it dubbed, we'll show it dubbed.
Q: I'm a dealer, what do I need to do to attend your convention?
A: Visit the Dealer's Room page for info.
