Each year, Florida Anime Experience themes the convention based on a popular Japanese animated title. For 2015, that title is one of the most influential anime of all time: Neon Genesis Evangelion. To reflect that, our guest lineup features the voices of the key pilots from the Evangelion movies: Spike Spencer (the voice of Shinji), Tiffany Grant (the voice of Asuka), Brina Palencia (the voice of Rei), and Trina Nishimura (the voice of Mari).
Entertainment at the convention includes an anime viewing room, manga library, Japanese video game room, fan and industry panels, Japanese culture panels, Maid Cafe Latte, costume contests, dance parties, and much more. A complete schedule will be made available online at www.FloridaAnime.com/schedule early next year.
