Silver Island (18+)

After the success of FanimeCon’s Silver Anniversary in 2019, we would like to announce the return of Silver Island, an area for older and mature audiences!  A place where you can enjoy all the exclusive mature, age-restricted programming you desire. To visit Silver Island, step aboard the shuttle service to the DoubleTree from the Convention Center area.

You must be 18 years or older, and have a valid, unexpired government issued photo ID in order to be admitted to any of the programming at Silver Island.

 Valid Government issued IDs (Must not be expired.)

  • Driver’s License
  • State ID
  • Military ID
  • Passport

School IDs, library cards, insurance cards, and other forms of IDs are not acceptable. No exceptions.

Adult Video Programming (18+)

Our infamous Hentai Nights returns to FanimeCon! Moans, groans, and panting from both the audience and the screen! Three scintillating nights of tentacles, school girls, and so much more! 

Accompanying Hentai Nights at Silver Island is Video Programming’s Midnight Madness and Hentai Music Videos!  From the serious to the silly, sensual to smutty, be ready for MST3K-style commentary from the community, and don’t be afraid to join in on some of the chants.

We understand wanting to take a peek at what’s under those post-it notes on the posters in the Main Exhibit Hall, or how embarrassing it is to ask a vendor about THOSE books hidden away under the tables.
