Is it doomed going up against AX, or are the anime and science-fiction crowds distinct enough that it will survive its first year?

Different target audiences and different areas so AX shouldn't hurt it. I don't think they are expecting a ton of people too with their funding goal. While they do say "up to 10,000 expected" they're probably realistic in what a year one $60 con will actually get
