Anime Convention
The Anime Banzai Convention is an educational convention focusing on Japanese anime (animation), manga (comics), and culture. Anime Banzai is sponsored by Utah Anime Promotions, a non-profit educational organization dedicated to bringing the culture, art, and fun of Japan to Utah.
The goal of the Anime Banzai Convention is to bring an event to Utah where fans can come together to celebrate Japan and Japanese Culture in a fun, safe, family-friendly atmosphere. To that end, we hold our convention three days each year in October over UEA weekend with panels, events, and contests that will let fans enjoy their favorite aspects of Anime and Japanese popular culture.
The Anime Banzai Convention was founded by the Salt Lake Community College "End of the World" Japanese Animation Club in 2005. That first year, there were over 600 attendees. We were only expecting, at most, 200 attendees! The second year was also held at Salt Lake Community College.
