Due to a growing number of visitors the event spread to a growing number of additional premises.

The AnimagiC is a German annual anime convention and one of the largest of its kind in the German-speaking world with currently about 12,000 visitors.From the first event in the summer of 1999 through 2005 the AnimagiC took place in the Rhein-Mosel-Halle at Koblenz, Germany.

By 2005 it additionally spanned the Kurfà¼rstliches Schloss, two cinemas and a Koblenz discothà¨que named “Circus Maximus”.In 2006 the event was relocated to the Beethovenhalle in Bonn as Koblenz no longer could provide sufficient capacity for the increasing number of visitors.The agenda of the three day long event includes Japanese pop culture (j-rock, visual kei, cosplay), video rooms, a cinema program, a traders room, bring and buy stands, show acts, Japanese guests, role-playing games, drawing courses, concerts, and much more.The guests of honor who attend the event every year include well-known people (graphic artists, directors, etc.) from different animation studios, mangaka and singers.

Among the most renowned guests was Tadashi Ozawa (free animator for Nausicaठof the Valley of the Wind, The Castle in the Sky, Akira und Record of Lodoss War) who from 2000 to 2006 held drawing workshops for selected visitors.The total number of visitors of the three day event currently is around 12,000.
