History

The convention originates from a 1997 36-hour anime marathon, organized by the Triangle Area Anime Society (TAAS) at North Carolina State University. [1] It was first held in Raleigh, North Carolina at the North Raleigh Hilton in 1998, moved to the Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Convention Center in Durham, North Carolina for 2001, and to the month of May in 2002. [11] [12] [13] In 2009, four Japanese guests canceled appearances due to quarantine concerns over the Swine flu. [14] In 2009, Animazement moved to the Raleigh Convention Center. [15] Noboru Ishiguro was scheduled to attend the 2012 event, but died prior to the event. [16] The convention celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2017. [17]

Animazement was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]
