A little about Anime Evo:
"What is Anime Evolution?
Anime Evolution is an annual three-day event celebrating Japanese animation and Asian popular culture. Activities that we feature include interactive panel discussions with industry guests, cultural demonstrations, 24-hour video rooms, costume contests, a charity auction, games, and more. It is an event suitable for people of all ages, and families are welcome to attend. Partial proceeds for the event are donated to the SFU Foodbank.
Anime Evolution’s focus is entertainment, community and cultural diversity in a fun, inclusive and accessible setting.
History
Anime Evolution started out as a 1-day public Japanese anime showing by the SFU Altered Reality Club (ARC) in 1998, named Anime Showcase at the time. This was expanded to a yearly three-day run at SFU Harbour Centre with participation from other local anime clubs: the Vancouver Japanese Animation Society (VJAS), the Vancouver Sleep is for Wimps Anime Team (VSWAT), and the UBC Anime Club.
Evolution
In 2002, the 3-day showcase made the leap from local campus event to a full public convention under the name of Anime Evolution (AE). Attendence grew from 300 to 1,200+ as special events, vendors and industry guests were added to the video showings. The goal was to accommodate growing mainstream interest, while maintaining AE’s grassroots ties.
We are proud to be supported by the efforts of local fan organisations in the Vancouver area, as well as industry and other groups in North America and Japan. We are also committed to giving back to the community and our charity of choice has been the SFU Foodbank since 1999 along with the BC Childrens’ Hospital Foundation since 2005.
Today
In 2007, total attendance for Anime Evolution’s fifth year as a convention was just over 4,200. Projected attendance for 2008 is over 5,000 people and 2008 will mark Anime Evolution’s sixth year. AE will continue to expand and evolve to satiate the growing appetite for what is quickly becoming mainstream entertainment in North American culture!"
