Anime California has been through a rough start early in it's anime convention career, today didn't help its cause. Today on Anime California's social media, has announced that this year's Anime California has been cancelled.

Good evening Everyone!
.
While Anime California had a good run the last couple of years, there have been some major issues that we have been unable to overcome.
We all know that Southern California is an extremely expensive place to start up and run an event, especially without any capital.
While we would love to continue to host this wonderful con, 2017 has already started to present challenges that would make it impossible to host, and as such, the CEO and executive team has respectfully resigned.
We would love nothing more than to see Anime California be successful, and flourish, but as it is evident that it is not,and as of now, Anime California will not be returning in 2017
To all the staff- attendees, and wonderful guests across the years- thank you for sticking with us. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for giving it all you had and then some- these past three cons have only been amazing because of all of you.

We hope that we’ll be able to see all of you at the other wonderful cons in So Cal.

While indeed this anime convention has had a rough start, its never a good sign when it cancels all together. Anime California will try to return again in 2017, and many fans will await it's return. Running anime conventions are never easy kids.
