Sakura Dragon Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I am in Illinois and live one hour away from the city of Chicago. The anime convention held around there are Anime ZAP in January, Con+Alt+Delete in December, Anime Central in May, Anime Midwest in June, and Anime Magic in August. I go to every one of these conventions every year save Anime ZAP because that one is the furthest away being two hours away. Anime Central is definitely the largest convention out of the ones I have listed. I am telling you that it is massive all in in convention center size, number of attendees, etc.). I think my favorite convention to attend is Con+Alt+Delete because it takes place in the winter season and I just love colder temperatures.

fluffybug Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 i could've sworn i commented in here before but! my home con i grew up near is Youmacon in Detroit! we have a few other cons within an hour or two distance in state like Isshocon, Dokidokon, MiAnime, and JAFAX. Most of the bigger Midwest cons aren't super far either :3 (acens about a 4ish hour drive for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarada Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 We just had anime Midwest here where I live. It's always held in Rosemont which is not far from where I live but I didn't go this year because I've had bad experiences there before. There's another con coming in August I'm going to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 There was Louisville Anime-Fest today not far from us that @Sakura and I went to. We didn't stay long and neither of us thought it was very good. The booths didn't have a lot of anything that interest us or good merch and no good panels going on or voice actors to meet. We ended up to leave after only around an hour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted Monday at 07:22 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:22 PM I’ve never been to an anime con and I don’t know if there are any near me anyway. I think it sounds both cool and nightmarish lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellal Posted Monday at 08:13 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:13 PM I've been to several cons but not very many of the large ones. The large ones seem to be where you run into the worst kinds of people at. I enjoy the local smallish ones that don't get as much attention. Large cons to me are just good for going in and grabbing exclusive merch and then making a hasty exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the larger ones are more likely to have industry people there, and that's probably what I'd be most excited for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
