From what I'm seeing on Facebook today was confirmation that AnimeNext canceling their 2022 convention because the Atlantic City Convention Center wanted to operate as normal, was a fatal mistake. There has been universal criticism of the shuttles. And reports that the programming was lack luster for 2023. For the vast majority of the people who came is to be with people and for the artist alley and dealers room. I do not blame anyone bailing out or skipping this year. #animenext2023 #animenext #animecons #animeconventions
