Anime St. Louis is an anime convention that takes place annually in St. Louis, Missouri. It was founded in 2006 by Alisha Bingham, president of the Maryville Anime Club at Maryville University, as a replacement for Kunicon when it went out of business. The convention is currently in its second year and is being co-sponsored by the Webster University Anime Society and ShowMe Con, a local sci-fi convention.
