Anime Midwest

Thousands of attendees show up every year to celebrate Japanese anime and culture at this annual convention, featuring guests who have worked on popular shows like Dragon Ball Super, Attack on Titan and Fullmetal Alchemist. In addition to a show floor stocked with merch and more than 100 panels and workshops, guests enjoy unlimited access to the ConSweet snack lounge, which is always stocked with Mountain Dew, ramen and rice. Stick around after the convention floor closes for late-night dance parties, cosplay competitions and karaoke—all included in the price of admission.
