IsshoCon is an annual convention dedicated to all things anime and Japanese culture. It is held at the Sheraton Detroit in Novi, MI. This event is growing in popularity and for the first year they sold out of single-day Saturday passes. That is a great accomplishment for any convention.

Like most events they featured several guests. This years guests included Anairis Quinones and Zeno Robinson. Events included a rave, cosplay masquerade, idol festival, hallway cosplay competition, and gaming. You could also shop at the vendors or attend a panel.

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.

Of course the main reason people are there is to hang out with others who think they like they do. To show off your favorite fandom, dress up in costume and participate in photos shoots. We all like to show our newest costumes, practice our poses and in general have some good fun.

Cosplay photos are provided by a neutral third party with no opinions given on the event. Cosplay photos are provided to highlight the skills and enthusiasm of the photographer and cosplayers. All opinions and facts in the article are by the author.

Thanks to Da’Vonte D Byrd for providing us with some great pictures and a look into the convention floor.
