AnimagiC

By 2005 it additionally spanned the Kurfürstliches Schloss, two cinemas and a Koblenz discothèque named “Circus Maximus”.

In 2006 the event was relocated to the Beethovenhalle in Bonn as Koblenz no longer could provide sufficient capacity for the increasing number of visitors.

The guests of honor who attend the event every year include well-known people (graphic artists, directors, etc.)

Among the most renowned guests was Tadashi Ozawa (free animator for Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, The Castle in the Sky, Akira und Record of Lodoss War) who from 2000 to 2006 held drawing workshops for selected visitors.

Contrary to widespread assertions AnimagiC is not the largest anime convention in Europe; this record is held by the Japan Expo at Paris, France that annually takes place at the beginning of July and attracts over 230,000 visitors followed by the DoKomi in Dusseldorf, Germany attracting about 140.000 visitors in 2023.
