ANIME CONJI STREAM REGISTRATION

Anime Conji in San Diego I heard has become a train wreck, and it's held too close to when WonderCon is anyway. It's not nearly as big as AX (yet), but it's another option.

There's also another growing anime convention in Anaheim later this summer called AM2. It's permanently staying in Anaheim in spring each year, and it's like a Comic Con lite (run by same organization). There's some interesting history with the operation of AX, google it if you want to know more.įor future reference, you should check out Wondercon going forward if you're looking for SoCal conventions. Oh yea, there's shitty My Little Pony panels.ĭepending on who you ask (people who went to AX when it was still in Anaheim vs people who only know it as being at the LACC), AX is either awesome or it's a shell of what it used to be. It's mainly about cosplay, voice acting, creating anime/manga, promoting upcoming North American releases, and a few cooler gaming panels like the Mega64 panel and our GameTrailers panel (Sunday, 11:15am, LP2!). It's panel content is nowhere near as diverse or appealing as SDCC, that's a whole other league. You will see all you need to see at AX in one day if you're thinking it's a gaming convention (unless you care about the tournaments). You said you missed out on E3, but AX is no E3.

Hopefully it isn't nearly as bad as FanimeCon's on-site registration was this year.Īgain, I guess what matters most is what you're looking for. I'm not sure how bad normal registration on-site is, I've always gone as press/industry and had minimal wait time.

You do not need a badge to get into the convention center, only to enter rooms or exhibit halls. Exhibit hall isn't as packed as E3, but it's still crowded. The cafeteria area is super crowded, and people sit everywhere in the walkway connecting the two halls. Except the South Hall lobby will be jam packed as it's Cosplay photograhy hell (everyone is doing shoots there). If you're familiar with E3, then AX size wise should be similar.

I think it's the only convention to do this, which sucks because it's free to go to these things elsewhere, including the much larger SDCC. A few of the events are already sold out. Main events like AMV content, Masquerade, and concerts all cost extra (in addition to the badge fee). There are panels, main events, and screenings if you want to sit down and chill and watch good stuff. On rare occasions Capcom, Square Enix, and Sega have been spotted at the event, though I haven't seen any of them there in a few years. Usually Atlus, NISA, Namco Bandai, and Aksys are there with playable stuff. Stuff like Viz, Funimation, Aniplex, and Crunchyroll.įor gaming stuff, this year Namco Bandai will be there with playable Tales of Xillia (English build) and other stuff. If you're not, there is a decent exhibit hall where you can browse okay import shops and a few big name booths. If you're into Cosplay, you'll probably have a really good time meeting new people and going to gatherings and stuff. I would say most people who have a remote interest in anime or Japanese culture will enjoy going for just a day. I've also been to a few non-defunct cons, like AniMagic.ĭepends on what you're going for. I've been to Anime Los Angeles a few times, and both Anime Conji and AM2 during its first year. I routinely go to FanimeCon in San Jose, too. Edit: Forgot to say I've gone to AX every year since 2006.
