Madman Anime Festival is one of the biggest gatherings of anime fans in Australia, and Melbourne was where it all started in 2016. We'll be preparing a full breakdown of all the panels and events we attended (and greatly enjoyed), but for now, here's a small collection of decked-out con-goers from this year's Melbourne MadFest!
