The convention features exhibits for merchandise or self made products, and massive booths for notable names in media.
Anime Expo
In Los Angeles, Anime Expo is 4 days long and packed with content. Like other conventions, they have an Artist Alley, panels, and exhibitors. But, what sets them apart is their concerts. Annually, they have Japanese pop artists sing at the convention. In addition to that, Anime Expo also holds exclusive premieres, showcasing new anime movies, anime OVAs (Original Video Animation), and episodes directly from Japan.
Conventions give people a place to share their interests. Although one day is fun as is, going to all of the days gives convention goers a unique experience every time.
