Anime Fan Fest 2016

Anime Fan Fest 2016This past weekend was the start of a brand new anime convention for the tri-state area, Anime Fan Fest! Run by Otaku USA magazine, Anime Fan Fest takes place at the Garden State Expo center, the same place that AnimeNEXT has been held for the past few years.

AnimeNEXT 2015 Cosplay

AnimeNEXT-2015-Princess-Mononoke-Cosplay Over the past three days have been a ton of fun, since this past weekend was AnimeNEXT!

This particular con is a great place for cosplay due to all the green space around the convention which makes for really great backdrops. This post is basically just a dump of cosplay pics taken over the weekend, starting off with this beautiful Princess Mononoke cosplay!
