Conventions A handy list of various anime conventions you can attend, with a little about what distinguishes each one from the other. |
|
|
THE local convention! Fanime Con '96 had 700 people, sponsored the theatrical premieres of Patlabor 2 and Tenchi Muyo, Fanime '98 had 2,200 people, and '99 had 2,400 and Mari Iijima's first anime convention performance ever! This is the real convention designed for fans! |
|
Every region has its anime convention to go to, and for Texas, it's got to be Project A-Kon. With past guests like the irrepresible Ippongi Bang and extremely cool and fun convention events, if you can make it, do so. And if not, you can at least visit them virtually on the web. |
|
Expo is the older West Coast convention, happening each year in Southern California. They have been known for some really great Guests of Honor and wonderful premieres. Check out their homepage to see what's going on. |
|
Japan's Comic Market is the largest fan conventions of any kind, pulling in a quarter of a million people. Now they have their own homepage, so you don't have to go to Japan to visit them. |
|
Katsucon is one of the other great anime conventions, and is probably THE con to attend if you're on the East Coast. In their second year, they managed to snag Mr. Katsura Masakazu, the creator of Video Girl Ai, so you know they're good. |
|
Well, okay, this isn't exactly an anime convention. But it's one of the largest comic book conventions, and anime plays a good role here. Plus, where else did Ms. Rumiko Takahashi appear a few years ago? San Diego, of course! With upwards of 30,000 people, you probably haven't seen its like before! |

Anime Clubs These are the clubs you can attend, along with what makes each one unique. |
|
|
Cal Animage Alpha is one of the best known anime clubs around. With their weekly showings of anime and their contacts, you can't go wrong attending one of their meetings. |
| Eastern Entertainment Association | EEA is the anime get-together in San Francisco. They usually show a good mix of Japanese animation as well as Asian movies. Plus, EEA is another supporting club behind Fanime Con. |
|
Foothill has been around for a long time! And the current incarnation had its first meeting on the same day as No-Name's first meeting! This must have been a sign that our two clubs would be working together! Foothill is a way-cool club, and they show some really awesome anime. Try to stop by! |
|
TK Anime is a local (Bay Area) anime club that helped tremendously with Fanime Con this year. They're a bunch of cool guys, so try to drop by their page and their meetings if you can. |
| BeefBowl Anime | Also known as BeffBowl Anime, BeefBowl operates in the Bay Area. They used to be pretty nice guys, but for some reason, recently they've gone out of their way to upset and insult other people. Why? Who knows? But until they get over it, there won't be a link to them here. |
