Official Review
Anime Central brings together fans of Japanese pop culture and anime for a well-run weekend of anime "stuff," whether it be the huge exhibit hall or big rave dances. Anime Central 2013's exhibit hall was further away from other events than usual, and with the heat made walking back and forth a little uncomfortable - but as the path was shorter Saturday with the opening of Hall A, and with a ton of attendees who were staying in the other hotels already finding it more convenient, this change didn't really detract from the overall experience. ACen brought fans together with a ton of great guests to have a fun weekend, but all-in-all it sometimes feels like more could be done.
