Japan Expo > Anime Expo. I'm not just talking about Attendees.

And Comiket is better than them both...
Actually I've never been to Japan Expo, admittedly. Wonder if it's as bad as the few American cons I've been to. |

Looking at the number, It seems like French fans treat Anime and other Japanese pop culture better than American fans.

They do. It's been in their culture a lot longer than it has in America. European in general is better at anime than America is. Italy's another good country. |

Forget AX, that number even eclipses San Diego Comic Con by over 30,000 people. It's a very impressive number.

I think that expo is for all of france right? France is only about the size of texas from what I can see.
AX, the largest anime convention in the US has 47,000 but thats mainly in CA. |

I just got back from covering it for ANN (article coming), and I was very impressed with the way they treated the culture as a whole. There was a lot on offer that dealt with traditional Japanese culture as well as pop culture, with armor smithing, traditional music, tales from The Kojiki, and a lot of traditional artists and artisans displaying their wares. It was really quite something, and I'm most excited about them bringing that aspect of the con to the US. I guess rather than saying that they treat Japanese culture better, it would make more sense to say that they simply have a more inclusive view of what fandom is. |
