Wow, what a weekend it has been at Bowlers Exhibition Center!
For the Love of Anime turned the venue into a buzzing haven for otaku, with back‑to‑back live Q&A sessions that let fans pick the brains of a dazzling lineup of anime voice actors, while electrifying live music kept the energy soaring.
The cosplay competition turned the hall into a runway of color and craftsmanship, and trader stalls from every corner of the UK offered everything from rare figures to handmade merch.
We got to meet the very lovely Sean Chiplock voice actor of Kinger from The Amazing Digital Circus, and Arden Cho the voice actor of Rumi from worldwide sensation K-Pop Demon Hunters.
Towering 9‑ft‑tall Gunman robots strode through the crowd, drawing awe‑filled gasps, and gaming stations pulsed with fierce battles that stretched into the night.
In short, every moment—from heartfelt panels to impromptu tiktok's—made For the Love of Anime the ultimate celebration for any anime enthusiast, leaving us already counting down to next year’s epic showdown. 5/5 Would definitely recommend again!
