History
The first Anime Express was held on April 25–27, 1997 and was solely a project of the Anything Goes Anime (AGA) club at Embry-Riddle. Since then, the AGA club has made many partnerships with other nearby anime-affiliated organizations to help run and provide content for the convention. These groups include Orange Anime, Anime Belle, and Wasabi Anime, most of which are based out of nearby Orlando, Florida. The convention is traditionally held the weekend before the Embry-Riddle's spring break, so it usually falls on the third weekend in March. In 2007, Anime Express was canceled due to a tornado that struck Embry-Riddle on Christmas.

“So in accepting the leading of the sentiments, it is not what we believe concerning the immortality of the soul, or the like, but the universal impulse to believe, that is the material circumstance, and is the principal fact in this history of the globe.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
