Anime Central is coming to Rosemont May 16-18, 2014! Anime Central (ACen) is Chicago’s and the Midwest’s largest anime, manga and Japanese popular culture convention. The convention is currently held in Rosemont, IL, less than 30 minutes from downtown Chicago.
The Chicago Japan Festival in Arlington Heights has announced a J-POP concert event featuring vocalist Ayane and human beatbox Daichi! Other offerings are anime screenings, Cosplay events, and more!
Free Comic Book Day is a single day – the first Saturday in May each year – when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely FREE* to anyone who comes into their stores.
For the past few years, we have been meeting up Thursday evening before ACen begins to eat, hang out, and chat about the convention we are about to experience. This year we will meet on Thursday, May 15, 2014.
