Get ready, because anime is about to take over Fort Myers in the best way possible. Charlie’s Anime Con is happening on Sunday, May 25th, 2025, and it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable one-day event packed with voice actors, cosplay, shopping, and non-stop fan energy. It all goes down at the DoubleTree by Hilton at Bell Tower Shops, right in the heart of Fort Myers.
Let’s start with the guest list, because it’s seriously impressive. Tony Oliver will be there—yes, the voice behind Minato Namikaze from Naruto and Lupin from Lupin the Third. Brian Beacock is also coming, known for roles in Digimon, Bleach, and Danganronpa. Fans of Dragon Ball Z will recognize Dale D. Kelly, and if you like your voice acting with a side of stand-up comedy, Mark Britten will be bringing his unique energy to the stage too. All of them will be available throughout the day for panels, photos, and autographs.
Of course, no convention is complete without a little shopping spree, and Charlie’s Anime Con is ready for it. With over 70 exhibitors expected on the floor, you’ll find everything from rare manga and anime DVDs to imported collectibles, fan art, cosplay accessories, plushies, and more. Whether you’re searching for that one item to complete your collection or just browsing for fun, there’s going to be plenty to tempt you.
Tickets are on sale now, and there’s a price point for everyone. General admission is just over twenty dollars, and kids can get in for around seven. If you show up in costume, you’ll get a discount, and yes—that includes all kinds of cosplay, from detailed builds to casual anime tees. If you’re looking for the ultimate experience, VIP tickets are available too. Those come with early access at 9 AM and include one free autograph from any special guest, up to a forty-dollar value.
The convention runs from ten in the morning until five in the evening, giving you a full day to explore, shop, attend panels, and meet fellow fans. The DoubleTree is a comfy, convenient location with food options close by and plenty of space for cosplayers and photo ops.
Charlie’s Anime Con is more than just a fun event—it’s a celebration of Japanese pop culture, creativity, and the shared love that brings fans together. Whether you’re into anime, gaming, manga, or just want to dress up and hang out with people who get it, this is your kind of crowd.

My love for heavy metal and horror films runs deep—these genres are practically in my DNA. Friends know me as the go-to guy for everything from crushing guitar riffs to the most bone-chilling horror flicks, and my enthusiasm is contagious. Whether I’m headbanging to the latest metal release or dissecting the creepiest storylines, I’m all in. And, yeah, I’ve got a soft spot for anime too when the mood strikes!
