Anime Five Cities

 On behalf of all the staffers of Anime Five Cities, we'd like to say...

THANK YOU SO MUCH! <3

We are so grateful to all our Artist Alley and Swap Meet vendors! Thank you to our panelists and Guests of Honor! And most of all, to our 235 wonderful attendees, THANK YOU! The love you showed us was very much appreciated by all of us who worked really hard to make sure you had a wonderful experience!

Please join us again next year for AFC 2011! Also, don't forget to join us for other events throughout the year! We'll see you very soon! v(^_^)v

Welcome to Anime Five Cities, the Central Coast's first anime and Asian pop culture convention!

We are here to provide you world-class anime and Asian pop culture entertainment just like in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, only closer to home! Please be patient while we build Anime Five Cities. Visit this website often for news, guest announcements, and programming changes.

Anime Five Cities is a family convention! Bring the kids for a day of wholesome fun!

ADVISORY: Anime Five Cities is CASH ONLY. There is ONE ATM in the Avila Grocery Mercantile and Deli two blocks away, facing the beach.
