Anime Conji 2026 — San Diego
0 people checked tickets — are you going?
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.

Anime San Diego Monthly Meetup — June 2026
The Anime Watch San Diego community meets monthly at the Kensington Club — and June 7, 2026 is no different: no tickets, no agenda, no formal structure. Just anime fans in a bar at 4079 Adams Ave talking about what they're watching, what to watch next, and what they've been wrong about for years. This is not a screening. It's not a panel. It's the version of community that happens when people who care about the same things are in the same room with a drink in hand and nowhere to be. The Kensington Club is a neighborhood bar — dark, comfortable, the kind of place where conversations start easily and end late. The group is welcoming to newcomers; nobody requires a credentials check at the door. Show up knowing five shows or five hundred. Neither is the wrong answer. The meetup runs monthly, which means it has regulars, and regulars means it has history. People who come once tend to come back. Show up by 7 and introduce yourself to someone you haven't met. That's the whole plan.

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.

Pokémon Night Out Concert — Los Angeles
The Pokémon Company brings a 30th anniversary EDM concert to the Kia Forum in Inglewood on June 15, 2026 — Marshmello and Alison Wonderland headlining with custom sets built entirely around the Pokémon universe. The venue holds 18,000 people. The nostalgia-to-bass ratio is off the charts. This is not a concert with Pokémon branding slapped on it. The production is purpose-built: visuals, set design, and stage elements created specifically for this show by the people who own the IP. Marshmello's fanbase and the Pokémon generation overlap almost perfectly — which means the room on June 15 will be full of people who grew up watching the anime and now have the budget to see it brought to a 50-foot screen while a DJ plays underneath it. The Kia Forum is one of the best large-venue experiences in Los Angeles — the acoustics are excellent, the sightlines are clean from the upper bowl, and production teams that play there are used to working at scale. Tickets at pokemon.com/events. This one sells on nostalgia alone, but the actual show is going to be something.

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.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero — Community Tournament SD
GameSync San Diego, May 23rd. $10 to compete. The Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Community Tournament is the version of the game that the ranked queue can't replicate: a room, real people across from you, and the specific pressure of knowing that the person on the other side of the table has been in the training room longer than the character select screen suggests. Dragon Ball Sparking Zero at the tournament level is a different game than the one you've been playing online. The reads are faster, the character matchup knowledge runs deeper, and the crowd around a close set turns a fighting game into a performance. The GameSync setup — real monitors, proper controller support, tournament bracket management — creates the environment where the game gets played at its best. $10 entry. May 23rd. Register at gamesync.us or show up and enter at the door. If you've been playing since launch and haven't tested your game against anyone in person, this is the tournament where you find out where you actually stand. If you've watched competitive Dragon Ball but never entered a bracket, a local GameSync tournament is the right first step — small enough to be accessible, competitive enough to mean something.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Community Night — May
GameSync San Diego, 2860 Main St. May 23rd. $10. Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Community Night is the version of the game that ranked matches can't give you — a room, real people, and the specific energy of a fighting game played with an audience watching who has an opinion about every character select. GameSync runs the setup right: real monitors, proper controllers, a bracket that treats the evening like the event it is. Community nights at GameSync have the benefit of regulars — players who come monthly and have history with each other, which produces a level of play and a level of competitive conversation that you don't find at a random online lobby. The Dragon Ball community is vocal. A close match in this room has an audience. $10 at the door. May 23rd. If you've been playing since launch, show up and see where your game stands against the room. If you're new to Sparking Zero, community night is the right entry — you'll lose to players who can explain what you did wrong, which is how you get better. gamesync.us for the full event details and schedule.

SoCal Pinball League — Summer Series 2026
The Southern California Pinball League runs competitive pinball tournaments throughout the summer at rotating venues across the Los Angeles and Orange County areas, offering IFPA-sanctioned competition that counts toward world ranking points and the SoCal circuit standings. The Summer Series format typically runs 6-8 events between May and August, with venues rotating through the established pinball locations of Southern California: Full Tilt in North Park, Pins and Needles in Los Feliz, Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda (visiting events), 82 Bar in Hollywood, and hobbyist host locations where private collectors make their machines available for competition. Competitive pinball at the SoCal League level is matchplay format: players face a random opponent each round on a randomly selected machine, accumulating match wins across the tournament. The format rewards machine versatility — knowing current Stern productions, classic 1990s WMS games, and vintage electromechanical tables equally is an advantage that specialists in any single era don't possess. The league welcomes players at all skill levels. If you know what a multiball is and can drain intentionally, you have enough foundation to participate in a league event. The regulars are uniformly welcoming to newcomers and the post-event gatherings at the host venues extend the experience well beyond the competition itself. Check the IFPA Southern California player directory and the SoCal Pinball League social channels for the 2026 Summer Series schedule, venues, and registration requirements.
