It's big but not as "cold" feeling as Anime Expo (Los Angeles). Anime Expo also didn't seem to have as many fan-run panels, but had more exhibitor presence. Anime Weekend Atlanta had a lot of artist interaction. The artist ally there is right in the middle of the con, so there is a lot of love for fan artists. The only other con I've been to is Kumoricon (Portland, OR), which is small but has a lot of love poured into it. (Although if you have no reason to be in the Portland area at that time, I wouldn't recommend traveling out of your way to get there; as much as I love the con, it's tiny, almost completely fan-run, which is great but not exactly something to go that far out of your way for).
