Have you ever been to an anime convention?

I was always hesitant to go to anime conventions, as it can be seen as the first step into becoming a true "otaku". But after going to a few I have to see it's a really good time. Of course idiots roam rampant, but they are easily ignored. The only problem I run into is not having enough money to buy the massive amount of things that I want.

What does everyone think of anime conventions? And if you've been which ones have you gone too?

Summer Anime Top Manga!!!!!!!!

i dont hear about too many conventions happening around ontario, but the one i never miss out on is anime north. bunch of cosplayers no matter what day you go, and merchandise you couldnt dream of finding anywhere else but the internet. its a hell of an experience, any otaku skeptical about going should at least give one a try. i promise youll at least be amused by some of the costumes lol some people have no shame!

I have to find one near me first.

I've only been to Anime Boston but it was awesome. Going to Connecticon in August and I plan on going to many more in the future.

Uhhh does a small convention count? and i mean so small it's at the local Barns and Nobel

Well the conventions I go to are pretty fun and it's quite refreshing to have a intelligent conversation with someone with the same interest as you.

Anime Expo
Anime Central (x2)
Anime North
Ohayo-con
Youmacon (x3 and counting)

And I plan on a few more.

yes, but in disguise. And by disguise, I mean dressed casually.

Anime North once and Otacon twice. I've had a little more success with Otacon, especially with meeting Tomokazu Seki and Steven Jay Blum, my favorite seiyuu and voice actor respectively.

i been before some like animax's conventions and even some private anime conventions held by art or designing colleges ... is fun when u are bold enough when u act as the character in ur cos, oh yeah you can be anything u want just make sure it fits ur cosplaying character.

Anime USA and Otakon. ;) I mostly hung out in the dealer's rooms... I loved seeing everything they had to sell. But I also checked out a few anime that were playing and got an autograph from someone who worked on Love Hina. Hell I got a hug from someone who was in a Kuroneko outfit (love that little cat).

There's all kinds of neat things to do! I think you'd love it if you went to one.

only been to te one at my local atomic comics store.

So far just Fanimecon but many times. Next year I might end up going to Comic-Con though.

I've been to one Con, but I plan to go to it again this year. I think I would go to other Cons if there were any good ones in Oklahoma.

I've only been to fanime 4 times
