   From the dust of the Mach 5, through the power of the reconfigurable
   veritechs of Robotech, "Anime" (Japanese Animation) has expanded and
   expounded within the U.S. It's most easily recognized by the
   non-afficionado because of the prevalence of cute, female characters
   with short skirts (or alternately skin tight spandex), outrageous,
   high tech mecha, oddly colored hair (blues, greens, neon reds)
   arranged in asymmetrical, geometric shapes and the ever present combat
   phrase (and pose, a necessity). Plot twists, unique things happening
   to characters (water based sex changes?), and the use of cute, fuzzy
   creatures make anime a true treat to behold. So look beyond tales of
   the electric mouse (Pikachu) and visit the Chicon 2000 Anime Rooms.
   
   There will be a limited edition, special program guide available at
   the convention, as well as some other neat surprises. Don't miss out!
   
Anime Sponsors

   The 58th World Science Fiction Convention / Chicon 2000 Anime Room is
   being sponsored by MANGA Entertainment, a Chicago-based company that
   has become a household name in the anime community. Their best-known
   anime is Ghost In The Shell. MANGA will be showing the Special Edition
   DVD version of Ghost In The Shell in surround sound at the convention
   along with their other various titles. We are also being blessed with
   anime videos, discs, and series from Bandai, Urban Vision, Media
   Blasters, and AD Vision to name just a few. We would like to thank
   these companies for their support in making this year's Worldcon the
   best yet.
