Anime Expo 1993.

Anime Expo opening from 1993. American Anime fandom is so much larger now. EXpo is one of the cons that contributed to its rise.

S.K.I.N. concert at Anime Expo looks insane.

I know anime expo is huge but that's an arena sized concert that many bands who have radio songs could not fill. Good for Anime Expo.

Anime Expo puts you at the con with Anime Backstage!

Anime Expo has launched the site Anime Backstage to give everyone not at the con an inside look.
