AnimeFest is an annually-run festival held in Dallas, Texas.  It is also the name of the non-profit educational group which has organized the festival every year since 1992.  The intent of AnimeFest is to educate the public about animation, art, and other forms of traditional and popular culture and art.

Kabooooom.com Contributing Editor Matt Morrison and photographer/artist Scott LastRyghtz Van of Cosplay Illustrated were there for the Silver Anniversary, taking photographs of all the different cosplayers in attendance. A full gallery of Scott’s portraits may be found here.
