| abstract | - Manifest, or the Melbourne Anime Festival, is a three day fan convention focusing on the art of anime and manga, East Asian culture, and its fandom held annually in Melbourne, Australia. Manifest has traditionally been held in August at the Parkville campus of the University of Melbourne, but has recently been held in September. In 2009 it is back to its late August date, but at the Melbourne Showgrounds Run by the not-for-profit organisation Manifest Inc. and staffed entirely by volunteers, Manifest is the longest-running Japanese animation convention in Australia. Approximately sixty people make up the Manifest Organisational Committee, meeting on weekends to plan and co-ordinate the event. In addition, more than a hundred individuals volunteer their time on the event weekend to help run the convention. In 2009, Manifest moved to the Melbourne Showgrounds and for the first time, ran overnight with a branch out event called Mani-Midnight. Manifest 2008 was held at The University of Melbourne for three full days, starting on the morning of Friday 26th of September, and finishing the evening of the 28th. In 2007 Manifest decided to support the Amaranth group - who organised an Anime Ball, on the Thursday evening (13th of September) prior to Manifest's commencement. The ball, known as "Amaranth" was a huge success. It continues to be a part of Manifest, with the event occurring the Thursday before Manifest proper.
