![]() | On 11 March 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Anime convention to Anime and manga convention. The result of the discussion was moved. |
I'd like to propose either removing the "Specific Conventions" section and just having the link to the List of anime conventions page or changing the list to be the ten largest anime conventions in the world. The conventions that are listed there now seem to be randomly selected and follow no selection criteria that I can determine. -- PatrickD 17:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
this article seems to only refer to the western, or even english speaking world variety of con. Should it be more global? or be sectioned off? RCHM 00:52, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
This article has become quite twisted over the years, it could use some cleaning that isn't trying to smuggle one con or another into the narrative... RCHM ( talk) 01:15, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
There's this intro text that I'm re-writing:
Historically the focus has been on the written form rather than audiovisual media representations, but this may be changing. People in attendance at an anime convention are traditionally known as members of the convention; invited celebrities including authors are commonly known as guests of the convention, though many professionals, including authors, will simply attend as members
This reads like a copy-and-paste from a general science fiction convention intro. Anime is all about "audiovisual media." Anime doesn't come in written form, unless one is talking about the script. Anime convention GoHs predominantly animators and voice actors, as authors exist outside the anime industry. While it's common for authors to attend a science fiction convention as general members, most industry professionals would get an industry badge at an anime convention.-- 24.5.125.75 21:31, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Maybe we could get a good group picture in for the cosplay section... I will try to look for one in the public domain. Kopf1988 01:49, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
In response to Farix's edit summary - Well, apparently this idiot! ;-) I really think given the similarity between AnimeCon and Anime convention article names and considering that conventions are often referred to as "cons" it would be fair to note something like "This article is about anime convention in general, for AnimeCon, a defunct anime convention, see AnimeCon." I'd like to open this up to further discussion. Thank you. AtaruMoroboshi ( talk) 18:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
I've known Trisha for a while on the ML and even discussed some of these cons, so I'm a little too close for COI. However, she has a very good article in Protoculture Addicts No. 96 about badly ran anime conventions. There is also a brief history of US conventions and some of the mechanics that goes into running a convention that could be incorporated into this article. -- Farix ( Talk) 01:38, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
That section seems to need some work. For the most obvious example, why list the 12 largest? Kind of an arbitrary number. Kopf1988 ( talk) 20:43, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
I have read the suggestions on here, and agree in the terms of having examples of anime conventions locations globally. With a larger scale such as global and in this case multicultural, it will give the readers an in depth understanding of these massive events. Along with these locations I also believe that the basic rules of conventions ought to be posted so that if a reader is studying this topic they will know how to appropriately be prepared and how to behave. For example perhaps a short passage on how tickets can be purchased, how to safely check in your props as a cos-player, and other helpful tips to better educate the public.

Anime convention → Anime and manga convention – The current name is too limited in focus. Manga plays a big part of those events. The parent subcategory is Category:Anime and manga fandom, not Category:Anime fandom. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:38, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
I've always seen the catch all term for conventions like Anime Expo, Anime NYC, Japan Expo, Sakura-con, Otakon, Katsucon et al. be referred to as simply "Anime convention". Why the page change at all? SimonLagann ( talk) 10:00, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
