Last year, I had the opportunity to attend the ANIME Impulse convention at the Pomona Fairplex, and it quickly became one of my favorite conventions. Held annually in January, 2020 marks the fifth year of this event with plenty of entertainment for all. This is a wonderful convention for fans of cosplay and anime art, video games, as well as Asian heritage and culture.
This year, ANIME Impulse is eager to debut two new features at its event: The Cosplay Showcase and the Cosplay Avenue. From dedicated cosplay backdrops in Cosplay Avenue to the Showcase by the main stage, attendees can find the right aesthetic to get great photos. Enjoy gaming? Check out the Super Smash Bros tournament. You can register at smash.gg/animeimpulse.
Making a grand return this coming January includes a multitude of beloved highlights from ANIME Impulse’s convention event. From featuring them on its flourishing YouTube channel, ANIME Impulse is delighted to have Fire Emblem: Three Houses voice actors Joe Zieja (Claude von Riegan) and Chris Hackney (Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd) as part of its 2020 guest list. Some other names that will be in attendance include IG cosplay stars such as @armoredheartcosplay, @Akemi101xoxo, @aly.brazil, and @miso_tokki. There will be something for everyone at this event!
As always, entertainment, shopping and food is ever bountiful at ANIME Impulse, and 2020 will absolutely be no exception. The mainstage will be the place to check out lively performances, engaging panels and the Cosplay Contest. Across the vast space of the Fairplex, attendees can join the Cosplay Parade as part of a unique Lunar New Year Celebration, engage in fast paced 3D action at the Gaming Corner, marvel at the itasha showcase, and more.
