Anime Night

We love this city - and we’ve working to make this happen for a long time coming.

Shadow Realm’s final VA appearance of the year is at the one and only NekoCon!

Nekocon is proud to announce our musical guest: SHADOW REALM!

Every great anime hits different when the soundtrack kicks in, and Shadow Realm is here to bring that energy straight to the Nekocon stage. This supergroup of dedicated musicians turns iconic anime themes into a full-blown live rock experience, transforming your favorite openings and endings into a jaw-dropping show you’ll feel in your chest.

With a rotating lineup of powerhouse vocalists handpicked to honor each original series, Shadow Realm is the live soundtrack to Western anime culture, from classics like Naruto and Dragon Ball to modern hits like Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan. Get ready to sing, scream, and lose your voice, because when Shadow Realm hits the stage at Nekocon, it’s not just a concert, it’s an anime OP come to life.

We’re excited to welcome back RedHinata as one of our featured cosplay guests for Anime Night this Saturday!

Returning as a guest after joining us at our Virginia Beach event last November, she became one of the creators we knew we wanted to work with again. We’re always excited to bring back familiar faces who help make Anime Night special, and we’re thrilled to have her returning to Norfolk.

Red has been cosplaying since 2013 and has built a reputation for creating incredible budget-friendly cosplays that prove creativity and passion matter far more than a big budget. Her work has been featured twice in Cosplay Realm Magazine, and she has also earned a Judges’ Award for her craftsmanship and dedication to the hobby.

She last appeared as Mitsuri Kanroji from Demon Slayer, and to this day is one of our favorite cosplays of the character we’ve seen. She brought her recognizable hairstyle and coloring to life in a very natural way, and remains one of the most impressive wig stylings we’ve seen. We can’t wait to see what cosplay she has in store for Saturday!
