The Association of Japanese Animators yearly study of industry earnings, calculated from roughly 150 significant anime-related companies found that for the sixth year in a row, the size of the anime industry grew in 2019. It was also the sixth year in a row the industry reached a new all-time high of earnings at US$10.939 billion.<\/p>\n<p>In California the craze is going strong. There are dozens of anime shows, comic cons and events that typically pack convention halls and meeting spaces with enticements such as Maid \/ Butler Cafe, artist presentations, meet &amp; greets, photo ops and vendor markets.<\/p>\n<p>Some events are racy with adult themes and age restrictions, but most cater to the broadest audience. The Burlingame Babs Con in April, for instance, is a My Little Pony fan-run convention with activities for kids and families.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you attend Babs Con, Asahicon, WonderCon, Comic Con, Ani-Me Con, LumaCon, NostalgiaCon, BayCon or even Silicon, you&#8217;ll be amazed at how many con jobs there. These expos &amp; conventions can attract 100,000 attendees or more in places such as Los Angeles where the annual 4th of July Anime Expo has earned a reputation as the largest anime convention in North America.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seecalifornia.com\/festivals\/california-anime-festivals.html\">California Cons<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>SAN DIEGO: San Diego Comic Fest March 5-8, 2020<br \/>\nFRESNO: Ani-Me Con March 21-22<br \/>\nSACRAMENTO: Comic Con March 2<br \/>\nLOS ANGELES: Insanime Spring Break April 2, 2020<br \/>\nANAHEIM: WonderCon Anaheim April 10-12<br \/>\nBURLINGAME: BABSCon April 10-12<br \/>\nANTIOCH: Asahicon April 18<br \/>\nVENTURA: Ventura Toy and Comic Expo May 3<br \/>\nPASADENA: Monsterpalooza May 8-10<br \/>\nWEST SACRAMENTO: Intergalactic Expo May 17<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industries such as anime (Japanese word for animation,) make for great jobs if you&#8217;re into hand drawn and computer animation.
