Dust off that Saitama costume. Northern California’s biggest anime convention is back. For the uninitiated, FanimeCon is that time of year when thousands of cosplaying eccentrics descend on the McEnery Convention Center. But the annual celebration of all things anime is much more than that. Fans can expect plenty of screenings, vendors, video games and tabletop games, discussion panels and big names from the world of anime. There will even be dancing—with swing, waltz and rumba lessons for those who get inspired competing in the Dance Dance Revolution tournament. The convention runs through Monday, May 28. (YK)
