These photos were taken by me on May 16-18 at Anime Central 2008 in the Hyatt Regency O'Hare and Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL near Chicago.

Anime central is a place were people come together that like the Japanese creation of Anime; their version of an adult cartoon you can say. People come to buy Anime related merchandise, cosplay, go to discussion panels, talk to people, speed date, enter video game tournaments, play Trading Card Games games, just plain hang out, and way more than i can list!

Coplaying, for people that dont know, is when people dress up as anime characters, video game characters, Comic Book characters, Anything Japanese related, Etc.

I want to thank the people that made ACEN possible, all of their hard work made it a truly great convention. Of course, all of the people that were nice and posed for a photograph for me. Thank you.

In this Gallery, ive listed the pictures by from what anime they came from. I also tried naming as many characters names as possible. So there might be some mistakes, forgive me. I mostly took photos of people that i recognized from a series. I also took some pictures from people that i didnt recognized but i liked their costumes.

Enjoy!
