Anime Fusion is dedicated to bringing the classic favorites of anime back into the spotlight alongside the newest titles. In all areas of our convention, we do our best to honor new releases and retro hits equally to create an event that everyone can enjoy!

We invite Guests from a wide range of backgrounds. We fill our game rooms with a variety of choices that span the decades. We select shows for our video rooms that highlight popular releases and beloved titles alike.

Our parent company Quad Cities Anime Inc. grew from a small anime club that braved the leap of incorporating into an official organization, which sought to further the love of Japanese culture and media by backing its own convention. Anime Fusion was started by a handful of friends from that club that had been to several different cons and were inspired to try running their own.

Anime Fusion is the only convention that Quad Cities Anime Inc. puts on: This allows us to build our own structure and traditions to make the best convention possible for our audience. We believe that independent voices build a stronger community.

We have a devoted team of staff members with years of experience working at many of the other conventions in the area. While we love the other fan events Minnesota has to offer, we focus on crafting a unique, welcoming, and exciting experience that is truly its own. We hope you’ll embrace this by telling us what you’d like to see at the convention and joining in the celebration!

Tell us what new show you can’t get enough of, or what classic show you wish more people would watch! Host a panel on the series that first hooked you into anime. Check out a game you haven’t played in years, or a new one you’ve been wanting to try. Dust off a cosplay you haven’t worn in a while, or try your hand at your very first outfit! Join us as we build a home for classic and cutting-edge media alike at Anime Fusion!

We have big plans for the future! We’re looking to grow not only the convention, but provide more activities throughout the year for our members and friends. We also hope to begin giving back to our community in other ways, through charitable giving and outreach to those in need.

We’ve seen the difference animation and its fans can make in people’s lives, and we want to do our part!

Whether you’re a newcomer to the genre or a die-hard fan of the classics, Anime Fusion is the place to celebrate what you love!
