Anime Central
The Midwest Anime and Manga Convention
Hyatt Regency O’Hare
Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
May 18th-20th, 2018
Rosemont, IL, USA
Panels on Japanese video games like Fatal Frame and Metal Gear, a history lesson on tea ceremonies, and mountains of options to read, view and purchase perennial anime and manga favorites can be found once again at the Midwest’s largest Japanese culture and entertainment convention in Rosemont. There’s a mess of bizarre Cosplay Dance competitions contrasted with discussions on Japanese religion. Special guests: fhána, Taleshi Nogami, Takahiro Yoshimatsu, Mitsuo Iso, Rosuuri, and Kenichi Sonoda. If you are a Japanophile, this is the place for you.
Here’s some pics from Day One…enjoy!
