Another Year has gone by and with it another Animazment and “The Anime Arsenal” was there to cover all the otaku glomping action. What set this con apart from previous animazments was the generous donation of $3,000 by Funimation Entertainment who has brought such titles as “Dragon Ball Z”, “Full Metal Alchemist” and “Ah My Goddess.” Equally amazing was the special guests that attended this years con, they included actor Richard Ian Cox “Inuyasha”, “X-men Evolution”, “Gundam 00”, Actor/Author Keiko Han “Mobile Suit Gundam”, “Sailor Moon”, Actor/Author/Screen writer Spike Spencer “Evangelion”, “Mar”, and “Bleach” and Musical guest Uchu Sentai Noiz and many more.
The cosplay this year was also astounding, spanning over several years of anime, video game and pop culture. Sparing no expense the con provided everything any otaku would need, from the video game rooms to the panel discussions which ranged from Japanese culture, meeting with guests to learn about voice acting, to talks about your favorite anime, and of course cat girls. This has been the second year for Animazment at the Raleigh Convention Center in North Carolina and it did not disappoint, still riding high off the excitement that came with this years con The Anime Arsenal is eagerly counting down the days to Animazment 14.
