Have you ever been to an anime convention?

there never seems to be any cons like that in england apart from MCM london expo in october... such a long way away

Conventions? Yes.

Anime conventions? Sadly no.

I'm not even sure if we have something like that around here. (Or at least big enough for being worth a visit.)

Anime Week Atlanta for me.

Though...they have a lot of rules...Like...some stupid kid almost died wearing roller skates...so no one can do a decent air gear cosplay anymore.

Anime Iowa and Naka-kon

only one I've gone to is Anime Next, but I'm going to try to hit Anime Boston maybe next time since alot of people I know go there.

There's 1 in Montreal, it started about 3 years ago, its slowly starting to grow and become popular. Its not really a convention, more like a festival ( Montreal has the most festivals in the world :P ) Anyway i go every year, lots of fun. But one day i'll go to the bigger ones

This is the one I go to in my city :P I'll be going on the 27th, since the 26th i'm working. LETS ME UP YO!

edit: JACOB I NEED A FAKKU SHIRT! MUST REPRESENT FAKKU OUTSIDE THE FUCKING BOARDER YO! Through paypal / whatever :D need 1!

ACen (anime central) is my primary convention outlet. 2009 will be my 4th year. I go for a few select panels but my main reason is figures. They're good places to find rare pieces that may have stopped circulation on the internet.

Finally got enough money to go to Comic-Con this year. Other than that, I usually just hit the local comic conventions.

I live in ontario too and... never been to one, never heard of one around where I live :P

Some years back from now, my dream was to go to an anime convention, but there was none in my city. So, I think in 2005 or 2006 they started making conventions here, but I was surprised to see I was not interested, and am not until today.

Nope, I have never been to one, since there aren't that many held locally. Even if there were, they will usually include some other aspects, such as toys, comics, etc.

Well i live in alaska so it's kinda hard for me to go down south for them but we do have two up here one is done by the local college anime club and we get stores from around town and even a person who apparently gos from convention to convention selling their otaku wares. then we have a second one called urora con up here i have pre ordered tickets for that and that one is held at the local convention center even though their small i easily spent over i think 1-400 dollars (bear in mind i don't have a job yet and forgot to save up) got the whole series of those who hunt elves manga same for sorcerer hunters manga again and i think a few more things so it must have been over 400 dollars oh yeah got arjuna as well. so they do have some nice stuff eve though their small.

i live in california, so definitely fanime, but sometimes i go out of state to go to anime expo

shit i meant i lived in NorCal and have to go to SoCal

London MCM EXPO twice 3 times in october
