The energy inside the convention center was palpable, even in the final hours of PrimCon. After five days of excitement, fandom, and celebration, the 35th edition of the most important spring convention was drawing to a close. It was Friday night, March 19th, and the crowd that remained seemed determined to savor every last moment of the event.
PrimCon had always been more than just a gathering—it was a cultural landmark in the Sakura Abode Country, marking the beginning of the spring season. With cherry blossoms just beginning to bloom outside, the vibrancy inside the convention center felt like an extension of that renewal and energy. The sheer scale of PrimCon was staggering, with five full days of panels, exhibitions, artist meetups, and exclusive announcements from some of the biggest studios and publishers in the industry. But tonight, as the clock ticked closer to 9 p.m., there was a bittersweet air about the crowd.
