Since there are conventions that go on all the time and also since I want to go to another one really badly it made me think of my first and only con experience.
The first anime convention I went to was Fanime Con in San Jose California. I had just graduated from college and it was a gift to myself. I went with a group of friends that had went last year and it was amazing! I had so much fun and bought so many things.
I went to a few panels and was able to see so many amazing cosplays and it made me want to cosplay the next time I went to a con. Now this was the only convention that I’ve gone to so far but it was definitely a great experience.
But what was everyone else first convention like and what was your favorite part? I would love to know! So comment down below and like always I will answer back!

We’ll need to see photos of all the stuff you bought : )
Lol I know I wasn’t able to post them since they aren’t on my phone anymore.
The first convention I went to was Anime North 2011, I went for the Saturday only. All I did was buy A LOT OF STUFF! My and my friends walked around attended some screenings and panels. Since then I have gone every year.
That’s so cool! I’ve been wanting to go to another conventions but I haven’t had the time.
My friends and I always book our holidays around it so we can all go together.
That is so awesome!!!
This is awesome! I too went to my first one last year to the London MCM Comic Con, you can check it here: http://dailyanimeart.com/2014/05/27/my-journey-to-mcm-comic-con-london-2014/
It was absolutely amazing!
Wow!!! I read what you wrote about your first convention and that sounds so awesome!!!
The first anime convention I went to was Anime Milwaukee. I took my boys and I wasn’t quite into anime that much yet. What was bad: I didn’t pre-register and spent 2 hours in line (and we had only planned to come for one day). The next year when I went I knew to stay the night and to pre-register. The best one I’ve been to so far was Anime Midwest. The Steam Powered Giraffe concert and Greg Ayers panel, Why Your Fandom Sucks, were the highlights.
That sounds so cool!!! I can’t wait to go to my next convention and yes waiting in line for so long really sucks!
ohh I never been to Fanime Con but I heard of it. I have a bunch of friends here in Santa Cruz planning to travel to San Jose for this event. Personally I would join them, but I am way too busy.
I have been to an anime convention before. I been to the LA’s Anime Expo during summer. It was pretty cool especially with the amount of people cosplaying a certain anime. The first time I went I saw a gathering of Attack on Titans & Fairy Tail characters. I wasn’t really into much of the panels but the booths were fun to look at. Didn’t buy anything since everything is overpriced, but I did have fun taking pictures with cosplayers. I really loved my photo with Allen’s cosplayer & Suzaku’s cosplayer.
I would definitely go again one day but right now there isn’t anything that catches my eyes (no good anime this year). Though I do want to go to Comic Con for the Games of Thrones panel. 😀
That sounds like so much fun. I’ve always wanted to go to LA’s Anime Expo. But Fanime was so much and you should definitely go one year.
My first anime con was just last month – Naka-Kon. It was such an awesome experience!
That’s really cool! Also congratulations on going to your first convention! What was your favorite part?
Thanks – congrats to you too! While seeing all of the cool cosplayers and buying anime merch was amazing, I really enjoyed getting to meet the voice actors Micah Solusod, Greg Ayres, and Matthew Mercer!
Wow that’s so cool!!! I really want to meet some of my favorite voice actors too!
My first one was in 2008 I think it was and was called Avcon it was only a small con at the time but now is much bigger when it moved facilities. it use to be held in the university near me. I remember I was so amazed by all of the cosplays and of course made me want to cosplay, have been doing that now for 8 years now ^^
Wow!!! I’ve never cosplayed before but I’ve always wanted to. What is your favorite cosplay?
You should 🙂 cosplay that I have done?
Yeah what if your favorite cosplay that you have done?
Mine would have to be Yumemi from Munto tv 🙂
Cool!!!
