AnimeNEXT (AN) is an annual three-day anime convention held at the Garden State Exhibit Center in Somerset, New Jersey. The convention was previously held at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, New Jersey for several years.

Programming

The convention typically offers anime music video (AMV) screenings, cosplay chess, dealer’s room, panels, masquerade, video gaming, and video rooms.[2][3][4]

History

The first convention in 2002 was put on with limited staffing and was planned in eight months.[3] In 2008 parts of the convention were held in the parking garage below the Meadowlands Exposition Center.[5] The convention, now located at the Garden State Exhibit Center, experienced crowding issues in 2012 with outdoor space used for lines.[6]
