Conventions are an excuse to gather in huge numbers of otaku, either purely anime fans, or mixed in with Sci-Fi nerds and gaming geeks. The largest California conventions are Fanime in San Jose, and Anime Expo (AX for short) in Long Beach.
Contents
Fanime
The smaller of the two conventions (roughly 1/4 the size of AX), running in northern California since 1994. It was something of an off-shoot from AX, which originated San Jose, but has remained smaller over the years.
Happenings of Importance or Interest
- 2006: Annaliese's ruler of badassity.
Anime Expo
The largest anime expos in the US, growing roughly 25% per year. Each year they pull in some amazing guests, but the lines for presentations, signings, and the dealer area are rather ridiculous.
Happenings of Importance or Interest
- 2001 (or 2002?): Super Fanboy took all the time at the Shoji Kawamori panel, asking about technical details of a nuclear reactor in Earth Girl Arjuna, ignoring the fsking fact she was able to fly and stuff. Unfortunately, the fanboy was not punched, even once.
