AnimeNEXT

AnimeNEXT is a nonprofit organization that hosts an annual event dedicated to promoting and educating all aspects of animation and Asian culture. The convention, known as the largest independently organized anime convention in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area, takes place at the Atlantic City Convention Center in Atlantic City, NJ. The event features Japanese creators of anime and manga, voice actors from anime series, Japanese musical acts, artists, vendors, exhibits, panels, workshops, and gaming, all focusing on aspects of anime, manga, and Japanese culture. Founded in 2002, AnimeNEXT has thrived in line with the increasing popularity of anime and manga, with a particular surge in the 1990s and 2000s.

As it pertains to industries, AnimeNEXT primarily operates within the realm of gaming, reflecting the gaming element within the convention. Currently, there is no public information available about the last investment or the last investment investors. The focus on providing a platform for anime and manga enthusiasts to engage with Japanese culture and entertainment aligns with the burgeoning global interest in anime and manga, particularly in the Western world.
