About
WonderCon fills the Anaheim Convention Center with comics, sci-fi, fantasy, film, and the cosplay community that doesn't need a San Diego hotel room to have the time of their lives. Panels from top creators, artist alley discoveries, and a dealer's floor that takes hours to properly explore.
Day 2 at WonderCon Anaheim. The panels get bigger, the artist alley lines get longer, and the cosplay gets more elaborate. The second day is always the best.
The longest-running Renaissance faire in America. Eight weekends of jousting, turkey legs, period costumes, ale, and performances. The crowd is 60% costumed on a regular weekend. Anime fans, LARP players, cosplayers, and history nerds all coexist peacefully because everyone's too happy to argue. Runs every weekend April through May. This is the one.
The final arc of My Hero Academia is airing and San Diego's anime community is not watching it alone. Big screen, loud reactions, and the particular energy of a room where everyone has been following these characters for years. Show up early for the best seats. Someone will cry. That someone might be you.
The Anime Watch San Diego community meets monthly. No formal agenda — just anime fans in a bar talking about what they're watching, what to watch next, and aggressively recommending shows to people who didn't ask. First Sunday of the month. Free to attend.
Season 3 of Spy x Family premieres and the SD anime community is gathering for the occasion. Anya's face alone is worth the trip. Come for the premiere, stay for the debate about whether Loid is actually starting to feel things or if he's still running the mission. We all know the answer.
One Piece hits episode 1100. Watch live with the fans who have been there since episode 1. The Geek Group runs monthly communal screenings — full room, big screen, audience reactions that make the emotional episodes hit twice as hard. Snacks provided.
Ontario's comic convention focuses on what the genre was built on: the creators. Comic Con Revolution at the Ontario Convention Center is two days of artist alley, writers, cosplay, panels, and the kind of room where you stay longer than planned.
