Oh, Anime Central, you sure know how to inspire Midwest nerds to party their asses off. ACen 2014 boasted an attendance of more than 30,000 people at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, which means there were plenty of costumes for us to photograph. Drop whatever you’re doing and browse our gallery! We promise you won’t be able to smell any strange odors through the screen (although, we can’t promise you won’t see any questionable visuals).

Don’t forget to enter our photo contest! Go over to our facebook page and tag yourself in your photo. Whoever has the most likes on their picture will win some swag from the convention! And if you’re not in our gallery, you can email us your picture to cosplay@capesandcartridges.com and we’ll enter it for you! Everyone likes free stuff so get goin!
