AnimeNEXT June 11, 2009

AnimeNEXT is the largest independently organized anime convention in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. AnimeNEXT 2009 is June 12 to 14, 2009 at the Garden State Expo Center & DoubleTree Somerset Hotel in Somerset, New Jersey. The convention is held on a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The convention will grow even more due to the change in dates.

The convention features Japanese creators of anime and manga, voice actors from anime series, Japanese musical acts, artists, vendors and exhibits, panels, workshops, and gaming. Events all focus on aspects of anime, manga, and Japanese culture. With the popularity of anime and manga growing in the 1990's and 2000's, anime conventions have seen positive growth in their attendance; AnimeNEXT is no exception.

AnimeNEXT has been in existence since 2002 and is organized by Universal Animation.
