Check out the Anime Contents Expo 2013 (ACE 2013) , which is scheduled to take place at Makuhari Messe venue.
Following intense discussions regarding whether to hold the event, the members of the Executive Committee eventually decided to do so for two reasons. The first is to respond to the enthusiasm displayed by the 41,628 people who attended the ACE 2012. The second is to provide an opportunity for even more exciting encounters between visitors and animated works.
They intend to scale up and make this event more enjoyable in every way than the previous event. The hall space will be expanded to make room for even more visitors. Come take your spot in animation's vanguard!
