The debut of Colossalcon East took place this past weekend from September 8-10, 2017 in Pocono Manor, PA. I’ve never been to the main “pool party” in Ohio before, so this marks my first time attending a Colossalcon convention. Having run the successful anime con in Ohio for the past 16 years, Colossalcon has now…

After 18 years, Otakon has finally left Baltimore behind to find a new home in our nation’s capital. With spiraling attendance numbers and increasing discontent about the crowded and antiquated Baltimore Convention Center, Otakon is looking to open a new chapter in its history by moving to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center which they…

The 2017 edition of the AnimeNEXT anime convention was held this past weekend from June 9-11, 2017. This is the second year that AnimeNEXT has been held at the Atlantic City, NJ location (and my second AnimeNEXT as well). It was certainly a beautiful weekend for the convention, and I certainly look forward to coming…

Last weekend was the Zenkaikon anime convention held in Lancaster, PA from April 28-30, 2017. It is essentially my hometown con since it’s only about 25 minutes away from my parents house. But, forget the guests, panels, events, cosplay, merchandise, etc. This weekend was all about the donuts. Chocolate covered maple bacon long john donuts…

The Anime Boston convention was held this past weekend from Friday March 31 through Sunday April 2, 2017 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, MA. This was my first time attending this convention so it was an entirely new experience for me. I kind of made the mistake of flying in on Friday morning…

The Katsucon 2017 anime convention was held this past weekend from February 17-19, 2017 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, MD. Katsucon was just as good as past years and once again reminds everyone why it’s the premier convention for cosplay. The amount of cosplayers strutting their stuff was staggering…

The MAGFest 2017 Music and Gaming Festival was held last weekend from January 5-8, 2017 in National Harbor, MD. There really isn’t a whole lot for me to say about this year’s MAGFest because it’s simply the same great, fun, laid back place for all things video games and music, except continuously bigger. If rumored…

The annual Anime USA convention was held at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, DC this past weekend from October 21-23, 2016. The perennial small to mid-sized con featured much of the same experience as past years which is not necessarily a bad thing. New this year were themed fandom meetups where fans of…

The annual Otakon anime convention may have originated from Pennsylvania, but after calling Baltimore its home for the last 18 years it’s hard to imagine it taking place anywhere else. For better or worse, the sights and sounds of Inner Harbor have become synonymous with the convention and with the overall Otakon experience. But just…

The AnimeNEXT anime convention took place at its new home in Atlantic City, NJ this past weekend from June 10-12, 2016. Previously held in Somerset, NJ, AnimeNEXT feels right at home in the larger space that it occupies in the Atlantic City Convention Center. The location offers a number of places where con-goers and cosplayers…
