THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. Dear Fellow Otaku, Animarathon is the largest entertainment event on BGSU campus, which is best described as a one day swarm of Japanese entertainment culture enthusiasts. We welcome enthusiasts all of shapes, sizes and experiences, to a foster an environment where we can all interact with each other as if we were all one big family. It is our goal to create such an intense experience that it feels like a full three-day convention expe- rience wrapped up in one Saturday. This is only made possible by the funding allocated to us from the university and the generous donations from people who share our passion for this convention and club. Ani- marathon is a phenomenal experience for both old and new Japanese entertainment enthusiasts; this convention is an enjoyable time for a seasoned veteran and a newbie looking to expand their horizons or a reluctant friend dragged to the event. We pride ourselves on having something for almost everyone. It is my wish that everyone enjoy their time at Animarathon XII and return next year to see what new things we’ll be showcasing. Now without further delay, get pumped, get hyped, have some fun, and come back and see us next year in 2015. Panzer Vor!
