Trust me. This could only happen at Pioneer Courthouse Square. One half of the square filled with families checking out a new series of Lego games, and the other half filled with Japanese cartoon characters. I was waiting for [Ringling Bros.] to bring a couple of elephants onto the bricks. I really felt like I was in the middle of a three-ring circus. The Kumoricon 2010 convention was held at the Hilton Hotel on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The Hilton is only a block away and convention participants spent a lot of time on the square. Kumoricon celebrates all things anime and manga. Which are words that really just sum up any “cartoon” or comic book from Japan. Popular examples are shows such as Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, Ponyo, Speed Racer, and Pokémon. Anime and manga come in a wide variety, from workplace dramas to romance sagas to fantasy adventures.
