Anime St. Louis 2025

Step into the world of Anime at Anime St. Louis, the city's so-called "biggest" convention celebrating Japanese animation and manga. Held at the St. Charles Convention Center, this event tries to blend art, culture, and community associated with Anime. Over three days, attendees are promised a barrage of activities, from industry guests to various exhibitors and cosplay competitions, where fans attempt to bring their favorite characters to life. Anime St. Louis brands itself as more than just a convention, offering attractions like a Dealer's & Artist Alley, Maid Cafe, Onkai Idol Stage, and a gaming segment. With special workshops and other distractions, it's positioned as a can't-miss event. Slated for April 2024, the convention encourages fans to plan, pre-register, and save on admission. But, for those who've seen it all before, one might wonder if this is truly an experience like no other—or just more of the same.
