Once a year around the weekend of July 4th, an anime convention called Anime Expo is held, ushering in fans from all over the world to join in the 4 day celebration of anime and manga. Anime Expo, or AX for short, is held in Southern California by the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (SPJA).

AX has its roots in Northern California from Anime Con, which was held in San Jose, California in 1991. In 1992 SPJA managed to acquire rights to Anime Con, and in 1994 they moved the location from Northern California down to Southern California. Since then it has attracted fans, guests, artists, exhibitors, cosplayers, press, and creators from all over the world; granting it the title of the largest anime convention in North America.

Thanks to the growing popularity of anime and manga in the U.S., AX continues to dominate attendance records and helps to promote upcoming series and novels for various artists and groups. AX is known for its large size and numerous guests from Japan such as the elusive CLAMP, who made their U.S. debut in 2006 at AX during their highly anticipated panel interview. AX also brings in hundreds of exhibitors, selling rare and highly coveted anime merchandise to collectors and con-goers.

AX also draws in crowds of Anime Music Video (AMV) creators hoping to gain recognition and experience by competing in their annual AMV Contest help during the convention. Anime Expo continues to be one of the largest anime conventions in the world, helping to spread and ignite the popularity of Japanese animation since 1994.

Welcome to the homepage of The-O Network Online's FanimeCon 2007 Con Report! This year's Fanime had a lot to offer including the first annual FaniMaid Cafe, the Black and White Ball, and a special visit by Seikihiko Inui, manga artist for Comic Party and creator of Murder Princess! We've got an extensive report lined up!

Check out our review on Fanime's FaniMaid cafe including exclusive pictures. From the Masquerade, we got a ton (I am not joking) of pictures taken from the front of the stage. Lastly, we were at Sekihiko Inui's private sketch session for the lucky raffle winners.

We apologize for the delays, we've gotten most of the Panel Reports up; it will take some more time to finish editing the Personal Accounts. This is also our very first official Con Report, so please offer any suggestions or comments on how we can improve our future Reports in the forums!
