FanimeCon 2024 was held from May 24-27 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. This marked another successful year for Northern California’s largest anime convention.
The convention featured an impressive lineup of guests, including popular voice actors, artists, and cosplayers. Notable attendees this year Yuu Hayashi, known for his roles in Haikyuu!! and Tokyo Revengers and Hirokatsu Kihara, a former Studio Ghibli production coordinator and horror story author.
Rate the Con
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**
FanimeCon offered a broad array of panels and workshops covering diverse topics such as anime production, cosplay craftsmanship, and Japanese cultural traditions. These sessions provided both entertainment and education, catering to new fans and seasoned con-goers alike.
The Artist Alley and Dealer’s Hall were bustling with activity, offering unique merchandise, artwork, and collectibles. Live performances, including concerts and dance shows, added to the vibrant atmosphere. Highlights included a concert by the Survive Said The Prophet, Karaoke, and a swap meet.
