What is Con Ja Nai?

Once a year, we have a massive, free, public event called Con Ja Nai (which means, in English, "It's not a con[vention].") Running from 10AM to midnight, Con Ja Nai includes four screening rooms of anime, a panel room, and special guests. We show a lot of great anime titles, popular and unknown, as well as a few old favorites. It's a great day of fun, and we love it. We hope that you'll join us for this year's Con Ja Nai XVIII.

Animania is thrilled to bring Crispin Freeman to Ann Arbor! Already well known as a voice actor in American dubs, Crispin is also a scholar of Japanese mythology. We've brought him all the way into the Frozen North for Con Ja Nai XVIII to hold a lecture on about giant robots and superheroes.

Con Ja Nai is happy to welcome Fred Gallagher back for another year! Last year, Fred gave a general Q&A. This year, he's looking to expand by hosting an old-school panel: "By Mail and 4th Gen: Anime Before Digital Subbing" featuring a bunch of old VHS tapes dug out of the archives.
