Anime Impulse Orange County 2026
I
IMPULSE UNIVERSE Inc. (Anime Impulse)
An importer unrolls something that circulates at exactly these shows and nowhere else, and two tables down an artist is selling work she made specifically for this weekend. Neither thing exists on Amazon. That is the whole reason to come.
It runs less like a convention than a market: merch, fan art, imported goods, tiny runs that are gone by afternoon, spread across two full days in a hall large enough to let it breathe. The move is to split it. Saturday for the rush, Sunday for the second pass, when the lines shorten and an artist has time to tell you what a piece actually is. Sunday is where people find the thing still framed on their wall years later.
Anaheim Convention Center on West Katella Avenue, a straight run off the 5 or the 57, admission through animeimpulse.com. Bring the friend whose wall is running out of room.
