Did you stumble across a few Pikachus or Zeldas this past weekend?
Don’t worry, you didn’t have a few too many cocktails, you’re eyes were correct: this weekend Downtown Milwaukee was taken over by all things Japanese for the 10th annual Anime Milwaukee.
Makenzie Boettcher | 88Nine Radio Milwaukee Hundreds of table set up in the Wisconsin Center this past Saturday sold various outfits, toys and Japanese gifts.
The three-day convention brought in over 10,000 attendees to Wisconsin Center for a nonstop event featuring live speakers, gaming, meet-ups, competitions and, of course, plenty of cosplay.
As anime amateurs, we stopped by this Saturday and Sunday to see what all of the commotion was about and, turns out, had a surprisingly fantastic time.
