Anime cons...

[GhaleonOne]

This is weird. I found out that Saturday there's an anime convention/festival here in friggin' Wichita, KS. I didn't think stuff like this ever happened in Wichita.

Are there more anime cons out there than I realized? I'm not a huge anime fan, more of just a game fan, but I saw this as the frontpage of our local newspaper yesterday, and was shocked to find out about it.

There aren't a lot of major cons, most of which occur along the eastern or western seaboard, and only in major cities. But for minor cons (which can be anything from 100 to 1000 attendees), there are quite a few. You'd have to be careful, though... a few of the small ones are more like a bunch of folks getting together to drink, watch anime, drink, and watch gratuitous cosplay. KF

Hey, don't sugar coat your opinions, Mr. I "HATE" anime

There, your dirty little secret is out. The only way for you to save face now is to admit how awesome it is and watch it every day as penance for not caring when I launched AniDis

Which is how a majority of the people I knew in town that liked anime would be. I don't plan on going personally. I just thought it was strange hearing about an anime convention even in Wichita.

Oh there are anime cons everywhere. Glascow, Scotland recently hosted their first ever anime con. But yeah, the major ones are held on the eastern and western seaboards, mostly in the New England area.
