The experience
What's special
Anime Frontier is a three-day anime convention at the Fort Worth Convention Center, created by LeftField Media, the company behind Anime NYC, and billed as bringing some of the biggest guests in anime and manga to Texas. The 2026 roster pairs the full Critical Role cast with live-action star Mackenyu on his first Texas appearance, Steven John Ward, director Seiji Kishi and a long list of English dub voice actors, several of them based in the Dallas area. Headline events include a Maiden Blood world premiere screening, an English dub screening of Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Pentagram, the separately ticketed Club Ironmouse concert on Friday night and the Wild West Idol Fest. Destination Cosplay runs a Main Stage masquerade, themed photo sets, meetups and a repair station, while tabletop gaming fills Room 204AB all weekend. Paid autographs are priced by each guest, and the rarest signings are given away through a free pre-show lottery.

Entry rules
Accessibility & comfort
What the organizer or venue publishes about getting around, and what they do not.
Accessibility bracelets are issued at the Info Desk in Registration during all fan registration hours, with no pre-registration, up to two per party (the fan and one companion). They give reserved seating blocks near the front of the Main Stage and panel rooms and an alternating accessibility line when rooms are cleared, but do not skip Exhibit Hall lines or guarantee admission or autographs.
Read the full notes
ASL interpreters can be requested through an online form or at the Registration Desk. Anime Frontier does not provide mobility devices; the organizer lists two local rental suppliers. Service animals are welcome.
