Description

Animania Festival is a celebration of all things anime, bringing together the best of the best for competitions and demonstrations, entertainment and commercial exhibits.

Animania began in 2002 as the first Japanese animation festival ever to be held in NSW. At its inauguration, the event was attended by more than 500 people. Each year after this first successful event, Animania has strived to achieve new heights and grow. In 2005, Animania headed up to Brisbane and in 2006, Melbourne, receiving great support in both states.

Bringing together thousands of people from local, interstate and overseas, Animania creates an environment for fans - old and new - to come together and celebrate Japanese pop culture in a fun and friendly atmosphere.

Animania Festival will push the bar even higher as the proud host for Australian Preliminary Competition for the World Cosplay Summit! This international-level Cosplay event will definitely bring out the best in Australian Cosplay. The winning team in the Australian Preliminary will go to Japan to represent down under!
