Animewhiz (2021) describes "Conventions are ultimately a social gathering and that means there are plenty of social events linked to them." These conventions catter not only upcoming shows, films, and series of anime but also merchandise or collectables, exclusive previews, cosplay, and competitions.
According to Dallas Middaugh (2019) The first American anime convention, Yamatocon, was held in Dallas in 1983 and attracted 100 visitors. One of the major gathering places for American anime lovers, Project A-Kon, which is also held in Texas, attracted around 400 attendees in 1990. The 1,000 attendance barrier was broken during AnimeCon in California in 1991.
