Anime Conji 2026 — San Diego
About
The convention's fan-run character gives Anime Conji a distinct personality: the programming decisions are made by people who attend because they genuinely love the material, the guest selection reflects real community enthusiasm rather than marketing considerations, and the convention floor has the energy of a community gathering rather than a marketplace.
Anime Conji features programming across multiple rooms covering series-specific panels, AMV (anime music video) competitions, voice actor guest Q&As and signings, a dealers room with merchandise from licensed and independent vendors, an artist alley with original work from regional creators, and a cosplay competition with detailed craftsmanship judging.
The Handlery Hotel is at 950 Hotel Cir N in Mission Valley, accessible from the I-8 at Hotel Circle. The Mission Valley Trolley stop connects to downtown San Diego. Convention badge holders receive discounted hotel rates at the Handlery when booking through the Anime Conji room block. Weekend and single-day badges available through the Anime Conji website.

FanimeCon 2026
FanimeCon is one of the oldest and largest anime conventions in the United States, running every Memorial Day weekend since 1994 at the San Jose Convention Center. It draws 25,000-30,000 attendees over four days and is the flagship event for the West Coast anime community. Unlike larger conventions, FanimeCon is entirely fan-run. No corporate booths dominating the floor. The panels, screenings, and programming are organized by volunteers who have been running this event for decades. That community ownership gives it an atmosphere that is hard to replicate. It feels less like a trade show and more like the largest anime club meetup in California. Programming runs 24 hours across the weekend. The cosplay masquerade on Saturday is a full theatrical production. The gaming hall is one of the best at any convention, running tournaments, free-play consoles, and retro arcades through the night. The dealer room and artist alley are substantial, with indie creators outnumbering corporate licensors. Bay Area, Sacramento, and Central Valley attendees make up the core, but it draws convention-goers from across the West Coast. Four-day badges sell out. Single-day passes may be available at the door. If you have been to Anime Expo but not FanimeCon, the culture is meaningfully different.

SD Comic Fest 2026
SD Comic Fest is San Diego's answer to the San Diego Comic-Con overflow — a grassroots fan convention held in the spring that brings together the collector, creator, and fan communities that SDCC serves but in a more intimate, accessible format that specifically celebrates the print comics, vintage collecting, and creator culture that defined pre-corporate convention culture. Comic Fest focuses deliberately on what made comics conventions exciting before they became entertainment industry marketing events: original art dealers, back issue sellers, independent comic book creators at tables selling and signing their work, panel discussions about comics history and craft, and a collecting community that considers itself custodians of an art form. Cosplay is present but not the focal point. The vendor room at Comic Fest is a genuine market for original comic art pages, silver and bronze age books at fair prices, Golden Age finds, and small press publications from independent creators who wouldn't command a presence at SDCC's massive floor. This is where a collector who loves comics as objects — drawn pages, printed paper, the specific history of the medium — finds things they can't find anywhere else. SD Comic Fest typically runs in late April or early May in San Diego at the Town and Country Resort or similar event venue. The convention is all-ages and admission is charged at the door, with weekend passes available. Check the SD Comic Fest website for the confirmed 2026 dates and venue closer to the event.

Comic Con Revolution Ontario 2026
Comic Con Revolution is a Southern California comic book convention celebrating comics, creators, and pop culture. The Ontario edition returns to the Ontario Convention Center for a two-day weekend event on May 16 and 17, 2026, bringing together comic book artists, writers, cosplayers, collectors, and fans of all ages. Unlike larger conventions, Comic Con Revolution Ontario is built around direct creator access.

Cosplay is celebrated throughout the weekend. Expect panel programming, artist alley, and vendor tables spread across both days. Saturday typically draws the bigger crowd; Sunday moves at a slower pace with more time to browse. The Ontario Convention Center is located at 2000 E Convention Center Way, Ontario, CA 91764, accessible from the 10 and 60 freeways. Parking is available on-site.

MOTUNIVERSE 2026 — Masters of the Universe Fan Convention
MOTUNIVERSE is the first-ever dedicated Masters of the Universe fan convention in Southern California, celebrating 44 years of He-Man, She-Ra, and the entire MotU universe. Taking place May 23-24, 2026 at the Torrance Marriott at Del Amo Fashion Center, this Kickstarter-funded event brings together collectors, original fans, and the next generation of Castle Grayskull devotees. Guests include original voice actors from the 1980s Filmation cartoon series. The event floor features rare vintage toy displays, original animation cels, custom artwork, and dealer tables stacked with vintage and modern MotU collectibles. Panel discussions cover the history of the franchise, the upcoming live-action adaptation, and the booming vintage toy market. Cosplay is encouraged -- expect everything from classic Skeletor to Netflix She-Ra to Masters of the Universe: Revelation variants. MOTUNIVERSE is a grassroots event funded directly by the fan community through Kickstarter. It is not a corporate production -- it was built because fans demanded a gathering that did not exist. That Kickstarter closed fast, which tells you everything about the pent-up demand in this community. The Torrance Marriott is located at 3635 Fashion Way, Torrance, CA 90503, minutes from the 405 freeway. Parking is available in the adjacent Del Amo Fashion Center lot. Tickets are available through the official event page. Weekend passes include access to both days, all panels, and the main convention floor. Single-day passes also available. By the Power of Grayskull -- this one is for the fans who never stopped believing.
