Zenkaikon, ho!

Another year marks another change of locale for Zenkaikon, eastern PA’s rapidly growing anime con. While this will be Zenkaikon’s sixth celebraton of anime, manga, and Japanese pop culture, it will be the con’s first time at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA. I’ve been attending Zenkaikon since 2009 (check out some posts about those pilgrimages here) and am looking forward to a con that seems to improve with every iteration. This year will feature the return of brand-new Ani-Gamers guest contributor and anthropologist extraordinaire Charles Dunbar, as well as former Ani-Gamer and otaku comedian Uncle Yo. Zenkaikon 2012’s full schedule for Friday, May 11 and Saturday, May 12 can be found here (PDF), and my very tentative schedule follows the break. As usual, conflicts of interest are usually resolved spontaneously. Follow @animatedink on Twitter if you want my up-to-the-minute whereabouts, and if you see me, come on up and say hi!
