This past weekend in Chicago, we attended the Anime Central Convention, or ACen as it’s known to the fandom. It’s one of the biggest anime cons in the Midwest, and features the most cosplay we've seen at a single convention. But it's also noted as one of the friendliest cons out there, and its community has continued to grow.

The Anime Central Convention is one of the biggest conventions for cosplay in the midwest. Whether you’re into anime or not, this is where you go to show off your hard work in the cosplay space.

ACen or Anime Central is happening this weekend (May 16th through the 18th) at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, and we're psyched! Sandwiched between C2E2 and Nightmare Weekend, but ACen is its own special beast.

As cool as the T-1000 fighting Kyle Reese sounds to my inner child, it was a cringey display of small dick masculinity.
