| I've only attended one back in 2011. SMASH! Anime & Manga Show. It's basically one held here in Australia. It reels in a decent amount of people. But Anime isn't as popular over here in Australia than it is in the states specifically. The only thing I bought at the convention was "Air TV." Great series. One of my first purchases of Anime on DVD. (Overpriced though.) We do have Supanova too which is a whole lot more popular I'd say. |
| Never attended one. Anime culture in my country aint big so there has never one but i still wouldn't go cuz i wouldn't fit. |

| I hope to someday, pretty sure England will have one or two knocking about somewhere. And although I've never cosplay'd in my life I'd love to go as Roy Mustang and have my girlfriend go as Riza Hawkeye. Gotta find that girlfriend first, though. The previous one hated dressing up and would never have been down for a convention. I'll not make that mistake again. |
   |
| Never been, but I'd like to. Like someone else said, I feel like I wouldn't fit in. I imagine it's all kids, and I'd feel out of place and look like I was someone's parent. Wouldn't be able to go properly crazy as I'd want. |
 |
| To attend a big one I would have to fly to anyother country, but I really want to do it some day. |
| I'd say about twice per year. So not all that often, no. |
 |
| In my country, we held few big conventions every year and sadly, I only get to attend once in a while due to my schedule and the taxing long distance from home to the place it's always held at. |
xMx16 said: Yeah a lot of stuff at conventions are really overpriced. Sometimes you might pick up some figures for a reasonable dollar but I know with DVD's & Blu-rays...WAY overpriced. I'd say once a year or so I go to these types of things, never been to one for anime specifically but they have games/anime/comics and stuff like that all together. Usually pretty fun, you gotta be a bit careful with some vendors though. A lot of stuff is actually priced really terribly. Most of the time if something is more than 20$ and you're not sure what an average price is the safest bet is to go look it up on your phone quickly. When I go conventions I basically just buy stuff that I know what a fair market price is for, or if I'm not sure and something is really tempting and under 5-10$~ I'll just get it. It depends on the quality/scale of the event but sometimes the artist sections have some really talented people as well. |
| Never been to one. Planning on going to my first this year though (Anime Expo). |
| Just once a year for four years. Skipped last year because 2018 was he'll for me. I hope I can make it this year... |
 |
CassieXKR said: Yeah! Sometimes you do find out of print titles. I know some of the prices will be better than from what people list on Ebay. Lol. I want to go to one this year to hopefully acquire some rare anime box sets; buying knowing I'm not getting a good deal, but getting stuff I've been looking for for a while unsuccessfully. |

| Once a year cuz I need merch plus going with friends and looking and doujins are fun lol. Also, the Good Smile Company usually goes to the one I go to so it gets easier to just get figurines that way instead of searching the internet. |
  Don't worry about being lame now, you were always lame anyway!  |
| There is always a convention here each year. Most of the time I go to buy figures (or look around) but that's about it. It's fine, it gets a little better/bigger each year. |
 |
| I'd like to go to one at least once, but i've never been to one yet. |
| never attended one unfortunately because of distance Ill certainly attend one someday when I visit california with my friends |
| I'd like to to go to one but anime isn't a big thing...like not a thing at all... where I live so I guess I'll have to go elsewhere. I'd love to go to one in nipon. |
 |
| Haven't attended one before even though I'm near a big city. I'd like too though, but being in college makes it a bit harder for it to be feasible. |
 |
| Nope since there aren't any where I live, or at least I don't think there are? There's a Pokemon festival every year, but that's somewhat different. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Haven't yet, but wouldn't mind going to one if it was relatively close by. |

| Only been to one... I live in California right now so we got some of the biggest conventions down here... But I haven't really gotten around to going to any since I don't have any weeb friends and it's pretty depressing going to look at cute anime girl figures by yourself like a sack of shit |
| I have never gone to one, probably never will, not my thing |
| Never tried. Either it's too far away or I simply just don't have time. |

| I've attended Kumoricon last October and Comi-Con almost seven years ago (It's not fully an anime convention, but there's still plenty of anime related things in it so I'm counting it). I'm hoping to go to Kumoricon this year as well, so I suppose I'm gonna be going to an anime convention once a year from now on. |
| I go to one every year, it's biggest one in my country (bit over 5k people) and sells out quite quickly, you really need to be ready to buy the tickets ^^; Overall I think anime conventions are really popular in my country, but they might be bit different than in USA cause they are non-profit and kept by fans? Some years I have visited others too, but I usually don't have enough time to make cosplays and money to travel and buy stuff so one a year has been good pace for me. Conventions are one of my fav things to visits though, the athmosphere is great. You see tons of cosplays, there is anime concerts, panels and other fun stuff, tons of stuff to see and buy. And well anime circles are probably most accepting circles around in my country at least which is nice. |
| There was this one time, at a con, that I was going to get lewd pics of cosplayers because they're pretty hot right. So I got some pictures and had a look before I went to bed. After going through my photos I noticed this upskirt one where there was a slight bulge, and that was the cutest cosplay ever! Never again... |

| I've attended a lot of comic cons in the UK, some of which have had a small anime presence, but I've not been to one here that's purely devoted to anime/manga. I went to C94 back in August, that was a hell of an experience (burned through something like £700 in two days too) and that kind of puts me off going to a UK based anime con now, I know that they're not going to favourably compare in my mind, meaning even if the show itself is really good there'll always be a part of me thinking "this is no comiket". |
 |
| Never attended one. Anime isn't that popular in my country |

|
| Never been to one. Sometimes I feel like I'd want to try one but I think the crowds would make it more trouble than it's worth. |
| I prefer Idol stage Anime conventions are wasting time and money, better watch some anime in home. |
| I would love to, but I wasn't able to convince my friends to accompany me and visiting a con alone doesn't seem like much fun. There's the chance to befriend people there and hang out, but I dunno. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Not too often, but I did go to anime convention twice. Definitely worth a visit but it gets too crowdy at times and everything is a little bit too pricey. |
