Fandoms, gamers and anime lovers around the community are gearing up for Eagle-Con 2026.
Eagle-Con is Eastern Michigan University's annual Comic Con-style event, showcasing vendors, artists and cosplayers for a night of cartoonish entertainment. Organized by Campus Life, Eagle-Con is designed for anyone to come and have a good time, regardless of taste in media. Attendees in years past have seen prints, crochet, handmade earrings and various merchandise, all for sale for those looking to expand their collections.
Students can look forward to a performance by the Anime Music Club, a student organization on campus that meets to learn and perfect songs from different anime. The group was formed in 2022 and can be found performing at Eagle-Con, the Anime Ball and Philippine Culture Night.
Anime Music Club is set to perform songs like "The Cruel Angel's Thesis," "Baka Mitai" and "Fuyu No."
Event coordinator for the group, Cole Patton, hopes for the performance to reach a wide audience.
"We are hoping to put on a show for everyone, whether they be interested in anime, video games or neither, all we at AMC want to do is have fun and entertain people with song," Patton wrote in a statement.
Anime Music Club is planning to host a giveaway along with anime trivia at their booth during this year's Eagle-Con.
Eagle-Con will be held in the Student Center Ballroom from 7 to 10 p.m. Feb. 17, 2026, and admission is free for all.
