Official Review
Anime Midwest 2014 knocked it out of the park. Everything was smoothly organized and professional. The badges and program books looked incredible, and almost all of the convention events ran on time. The video game room had dozens of arcade games, and the vendor hall was bigger than ever. This was a giant con that still had the appeals of a small con, like camaraderie and being easy to navigate.
