About

Ushicon is an 18+ only Japanese animation convention taking place in San Marcos, TX. We’re celebrating our 16th year in operation and our 11th as an 18+ only convention, but we are not a “hentai/porn convention.” In many respects, we’re like most anime conventions in that we have video theater, an arcade, a tabletop gaming room, a dealer’s room, an artist alley, panels, workshops, and game shows. What really sets us apart is the age limitation. The atmosphere at Ushicon is much more laid back than you would see at most all-ages conventions, and feels a lot more like a community of anime fans, thanks to our smaller size. By the end of the weekend, you’ll probably have made a few new friends and may even recognize most of the people you see, even if you don’t know their names yet.

So, why are we 18+ only? Although we’ve been operating as an age restricted convention for the past 11 years, we still frequently get asked “Why are you an 18 & older convention? It sounds like a hentai convention.” The simple answer is this: we’re recreating the atmosphere of an old-school anime conventions–no children, no drama, just nerds hanging out enjoying the good old anime!
