Most cons: 500-5,000 people
Otakon and AX: Freakin' huge

As to put how big Anime Expo is. They are now the world's biggest anime con.

"the US' biggest anime con" you mean
there was easily half a million people at Comike 67 this past week.

I somewhat go by more anime cons that are full anime cons then one that is a anime and comic convention, but that is just me. Since I never hear of Comike at all and don't know what its like and all.

So, yeah. AX is the biggest anime con in the US then.

Oni-Con
October 22-24, 2004
Sheraton North Houston
Houston, TX
Attendance: 3,000 people

Holy cow! I was there, and I didn't realize there was 3 THOUSAND people there too! I think most of them were in line for the dual jewel concert

[Saint Kevin]

Here's another con if you're interested: The 'Nan Desu Kan' in Colorado. Can't say exactly how many it draws, but they supposedly get about 3000-3500. The website for it is quite dated, but is http://www.ndk.cc/, if anyone should care.

=D I went to a Dual Jewel concert they had at AX...2 years ago, I think. x3 They were awesome! One of the band members squirted me with his water bottle.

[Rev. Doc]

We were really happy to hit the 2700 mark at Animazement as it was looking somewhat iffy for awhile. We are hoping to break 3000 this year.

[oro!]

Do they usually cost at all or much? It would be cool to go, but money is always a barrier to me with things. :heh: I mean, how much can a 14-year old make?

[Roy Mustang]

There are some anime cons that are free, but they are small ones.

most cost like $20 to $30 or so. The prices for cons go by how many days you are going to be at the con.

The one that I go to every year (Anime Weekend Atlanta) has a good deal if you buy a pass now. You can get a three day pass for only $20 untill May and then it goes up to $25.
