We are proud to announce that anime expo chibi will return this November 11th - 12th at the Ontario Convention Center! Back for its second year, anime expo chibi is a smaller-scale spinoff convention that provides fans an additional, cozier opportunity to share their love of Japanese anime and pop culture. This event serves as a marketplace showcasing exhibitors and artists - and having fun! Inspired by the adorable art style, anime expo chibi is a convention aimed at celebrating what truly makes Anime Expo so incredible — you!
