Who We Are

Where Anime Fans Come Together

Anime Crossroads is Indianapolis's premier anime convention — a three-day celebration of everything anime, manga, gaming, and Japanese pop culture. We're built by fans, for fans, with one goal: create the best anime convention experience in the Midwest.

From the moment you walk through the doors, you're surrounded by people who share your passion. Whether you're a lifelong otaku or attending your first convention, Anime Crossroads is your place.

We believe anime is more than entertainment — it's a community, a language, and a way of life. That's what we celebrate every February in Plainfield, Indiana.
