Anime Fest takes over The Hilton Garden Inn in South Bend

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The South Bend Anime Festival was out in full force this afternoon at the Hilton Garden Inn, bringing together anime fans of all ages to come check out a wide variety of products from several different series.

It wasn't just buying and selling either, as the show also featured Jennifer Chihi, the singing voice of 'Sailor Moon', and Peter Kelamis, the voice of Goku from Dragon Ball Z's Ocean English dub.

"Oh yeah, everybody's enjoying time, enjoying the time, and they're out, they're out, spending their money, and they're doing what they need to do, and they're just having a great time. There's nobody's walked out of here without a smile on their face, and that's what I'm shooting for," stated Show Manager for the South Bend Anime Fest David Shess.

This is the first time the Anime Fest has dropped by South Bend, but they do other festivals all around the country.
