Bigger in Texas
MELISSA WHITLER | NBCU FellowMelissa@DallasVoice.com Anime Frontier, held Dec. 6-8 at the Fort Worth Convention Center, welcomed thousands of anime fans to Cowtown for a weekend filled with fun, cosplay and panels.
The exhibition hall featured more than a hundred booths, with local vendors as well as sponsors and other attractions. The first ever Anime Frontier happened in 2021, and the annual event has continued to grow since then, with more than 40,000 badges sold this year.
For first-time con-goers, the sheer size of the event and the crowd can seem intimidating, but you quickly adapt. Anime Frontier fostered a very open and inclusive atmosphere, where people of all ages could come enjoy the event.
The convention space included a sensory-friendly room as well as gender neutral bathrooms and accessibility accommodation including seating, allowing service animals and elevator access to the second floor.
