It is over! More than 1700 people visited the festival to celebrate the semi-organized madness pandemic called Anime 2009, Mental Maniacs! A virulent growth with 350 extra visitors, made possible only through pumping the hotel full with steroids. We laughed, we cried, we hugged, we drank sake and of course we watched lots of Cosplay and Anime!

But now the fun has ended! Enough is enough! In 2008 we celebrated our 10th anniversary, in 2009 we glorified madness! Now is the time to restore order, dignity and restraint to the festival! Anime 2010 will be a more gentle and civilized affair as we return to the norms and values so preferred by our government. So be on your best behaviour and prepare your most frilly costume as the world will know who is who and what is what at Anime 2010: Masters & Servants!

We do not know the date as of yet, but we will of course let you know even before we know ourselves!

Your gentle masters and humble servants,
The J-POP Staff
