@texasmadeyo: Amazing to see a once-small San Antonio con grow into the biggest anime convention in Texas. ❤️ San Japan started as a small convention and has now grown to around 37,000 people. It’s amazing to see something that started locally become such a huge event and bring so much attention to San Antonio. #SanJapan #SanAntonio #SanAntonioTX #AnimeConvention #SanAntonioEvents
Does anybody know who started San Japan? I think it was somebody I knew.

What makes conventions like this feel so special is really the people. The people behind the event who put so much time into making it happen, the people who attend, and the people who show up, dress up, and put so much creativity into the experience.❤️❤️

it was fun but i think the problem is that it has grown too much literally every panel I went to I had to stand or sit on the floor there is no more chairs for anyone anymore and the lines to get badges lasted longer then it used to be 🤣
