The convention is the largest anime convention in the Rocky Mountain region and each one takes eighteen months to plan.[5][6][7] Its name in Japanese roughly means nan desu ka (何ですか), "what is it?".[8] The parent company, Rocky Mountain Anime Association, is a registered 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization.[3][4]
