Zenkaikon: Philly’s Anime Con is Back This Weekend!
Excited con-goers wait to get in at Zenkaikon 2010
Break out your sailor fuku and your cat ears! Our favorite local Philadelphia anime convention Zenkaikon is back for another weekend of panels, guests and cosplay!
It’s hard to believe this is only the con’s 5th year in existence. I fondly remember the days when the entire convention was held in two tiny hallways.
Zenkaikon has since grown into quite the affair, bursting out of those two narrow hallways and taking over most of the Valley Forge Scanticon Hotel in King of Prussia. Zenkaikon was a great time last year, despite some of the overcrowding issues. And as the convention has proved year after year, it can only get better.

The convention will run this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 18th to the 20th. The con will feature guests like voice acting extraordinaires Vic Mignogna and Todd Haberkorn with musical guests Gelatine and Rose Noire.
Registration is a mere $55 for the entire weekend, $25 for Friday and Sunday and $35 for Saturday at the door. Get there early whichever day you plan to arrive so you have plenty of time to register.
See you there!

I’ll be there in my Goth Catgirl costume!
Goth Catgirl? Sounds lovely!
I have not seen any “real” anime in years. If I go, would I be utterly confused and lost? Would I just curl up into a ball and cry?
Also note we have Sci-fi content and board gaming now!
