Bahrain is set to host the second annual edition of Animania, one of the Gulf region's biggest anime and video games convention at the Prestige Hall in Adhari Park.

The convention will feature a cosplay contest in which participants dress up as their favourite anime/video game characters and the winner will be chosen as Bahrain's top cosplayer.

There will be a separate contest for anime/video games skits.

A major highlight this year will be gaming tournaments in which prominent players from across the Gulf will vie for glory.

The popular Movie Hall from the inaugural event will return in an improved form and the latest in anime cinema will be displayed. Karaoke, games and an art gallery are other attractions.

New features include a scavenger hunt in which Animania guests will have to locate 10 clues/figures in and around Adhari Park, with the first to spot all 10 figures the winner.-TradeArabia News Service
