This years guests included voice actors Erica Mendez, Ricco Fajardo, and Barry Yandell. Special events included combat chess, masquerade and Kpop battles. Whether you were into gaming, cosplay or shopping there was a little of something for everyone.
Ratings:
Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We hope to eventually have a rating system set up for many of the conventions.

We realize that these don’t apply to all conventions, so if they don’t apply to your con, give them a 5 star.
**Later additions to the rating systems will include things such as guests and ticket prices**
The Artist Alley and Dealer’s Room were bustling hubs of activity, offering attendees the chance to browse and purchase artwork, manga, anime DVDs, collectibles, and pretty much anything else they wanted. Talented artists and vendors from across the country showcased their creations, providing fans with the perfect opportunity to find unique and exclusive items to add to their collections.
Cosplay, a favorite at anime conventions, was in full swing at Anime Milwaukee. Attendees showcased their creativity and craftsmanship with elaborate costumes inspired by their favorites.
