ANIME EVOLUTION 2009
Van­cou­ver Con­ven­tion Cen­tre
BC., CANADA

Anime Evo­lu­tion 2009 is Vancouver’s pre­miere Asian popu­lar cul­tu­ral event where audien­ces and industry inte­ract directly in an infor­mal setting.

The three-day con­ven­tion is expec­ted to draw close to 5,000 peo­ple and brings together art, ani­ma­tion (anime), comic books (manga), video games, film and music in a cele­bra­tion of Asian popu­lar cul­ture and multimedia.

The con­ven­tion high­lights Vancouver’s local anime talent in addi­tion to the work of other pro­fes­sio­nals in the industry.

Cos­play (short for Cos­tume Play) where atten­dees dress up as their favou­rite video game, comic book and ani­ma­ted cha­rac­ters is encou­ra­ged. Gutsier atten­dees can par­ti­ci­pate in a fashion show or take part in the highly-competitive sin­ging con­test, Anime Idol.

quote from http://www.vancouverconventioncentre.com/anime-evolution/

The Con­ven­tion Cen­tre is inc­re­dibly mas­sive, I’m sure I’ve walked/run miles and miles inside and around the buil­ding taking pho­to­graphs. A lot hap­pe­ning in the same second, unfor­tu­na­tely I can­not be in 7 dif­fe­rent pla­ces at the same time. My arm felt like it will pop out from the soc­ket any moment, carr­ying my digi­tal camera that weight like a Ton. All and all, it was a blast and a fun experience!

Thank you to all atten­dants and artists and ever­yone who invol­ves in the pro­duc­tion, logis­tic, secu­rity, and all the volunteer! Anyone who mis­sed it should keep an eye for it next year.

Enjoy these pho­tos from the event.
