Ani-me Con was held at the Manchester Mall in Fresno, California, March 20th and 21th . This is Ani -me con 4th year of having a small two day show . they have a lot of independent artist/ craft makers of selling their wares. A small console game area and a lot of areas for trading card games there wasn’t any type of Anime viewing taking place. they do have two cosplay contest that takes place on both days of their event. they had a lot of people coming into the show
Erika Harlacher, who is a voice actor, which right now you can hear her in the English Dub of Kill la kill. it was very nice meeting her.  Holly Brooke is a professional cosplayer who attended their show and was, the judge of their cosplay contest on Saturday the 20th, she is a very nice person if you ever get a chance to meet her.
Ani- me con had a lot of live music band from the Bay area with a distinctive, J pops sound that are getting recognition on a national level. In the weeks before the event they had a drawing contests which the contest was then voted by attendee’s at the show .
On their main stage, they had panels for Erika Harlacher, Holly Brooke, there cosplay contest, music bands came back and talk about their music and what their plans are,  some of the vendors  there talk about what they were providing.
behind the main stage, they had a mock fighting arena, if you were in costume or not could battle and fight for your own glory and triumph
with the amount of people that are coming to the show.  I sure would like to see more vendors with more variety of different items to sell in different price brackets sold. . they did have a  variety of stuff, but some of the other things that are from an import market would be out of the price range of some young, Anime fan who doesn’t have a lot of money to spend and he or she has a very limited collecting experience  This is still a very young show i would like to see some more variety , Anime is for everyone, I think it would benefit from an anime viewing room.
