Yeah, I didn't even go into, say, Voltron, which my friends and I watched and loved as a kid (born in late 70s, childhood memories are mostly the 80s), and at the time we didn't know it was Japanese. It was just a cool cartoon. I've heard other people my age or a little older got to see Robotech and Speed Racer on TV too, and had the same kind of thing going on - they just didn't even know it was any different than other cartoons, except maybe cooler and with better toys. ;)

But at any rate, AX has been running since 1992, apparently, and had close to 2000 attendees then, so it's pretty obvious that SOME kind of organized anime fandom had existed for awhile, even if many fans were unaware of it until the internet started facilitating things.

I remember going to an anime con in Dallas in the mid-1980's (YamatoCon). There was an anime fandom back then. You could find other anime fans at comic shops, conventions, sci-fi clubs, etc. I was at university at the time. There was a lot more face-to-face networking back then. The internet makes things much easier and convenient!

My first AX was in 2000. I feel a little sad because I'm too old for it now even though I still watch some anime.
