Some (official?) God Eater cosplayers right inside the entrance, posing beside a giant statue of a Vajra Aragami. Thankfully we had already gotten ours the night before, though we still had to wait outside quite a while just to line up to get INSIDE the convention place. The pre-reg badge pickup line was even more ridiculous that morning. We were staying at a cheap AirBnB not too far away from the LA Convention Center where the con was hosted, so we just walked over. The crew (minus me, the photographer) gathered for some quick breakfast before heading off for day 1. Unfortunately the bag was pretty poorly made and I saw a lot of people with ripped bags, but one of my friends brought his backpack so we just stuffed things in there, then went back to the hotel for some good rest in prep for day 1. They gave us all nice-looking backpack-able bags (mine was advertising Akame ga Kill) containing mostly fliers and the program schedule booklet. With such large and ever-increasing numbers each year, it won’t be long before AX organizers will need to start considering line tactics used at even larger events like at Comiket (just kidding! Well kinda, at least maybe not for another 5 years…)Īfter over an hour of waiting, we finally got our badge and loot bags.

Except we stayed indoors most of the time so it didn’t really matter :Pįirst thing first, line up to pick up our pre-reg tickets! There was surprisingly quite a lot of people (AX is one of those large cons where the pre-reg line is always far longer than the walk-in registration line) but the volunteer staff managed to move the line quite smoothly.

Last but not least, I going to be attending the con with a couple of friends that I hadn’t met up with in a long time plus the lovely cosplayer Bridget and a few of my MMO guildies who I had never met before, so it was bound to be a fun time.īecause this was a four-day convention, there were a LOT of things to do and I took a LOT of photos, resulting in quite a long blog post which I’ve broken up into non-sequential sections:
I had also made a few new Dollfie Dream friends at Dolpa LA 2015 last year and would get another chance to hang out with them again. I had also made a second batch of hand-made Fate/Grand Order cards that I was going to be handing out while cosplayed as Gudao, so I was looking forward to the Fate photoshoot and meeting fellow TYPE-MOON fans as well. Revolution, etc.) as well as TeddyLoid, so it was a definite must-go for me. I hadn’t attended Anime Expo since AX2011 ( Mikunopolis LA), but this time it was announced that there would be a huge concert called Anisong World Matsuri featuring many popular Japanese anime music artists performing (such as JAM Project, T.M. It is the largest anime convention in North America, with AX2016 attracting over 100,000 attendees (more than four times the attendance we had at Sakura-con 2016). See here for part 2Īnime Expo ( AX) is a four-day anime convention held annually in Los Angeles, California. But better late than never I guess, so here it is! Note: This is part 1/2 of my Anime Expo blog post.
Due to numerous factors (mainly Black Desert Online, Revelation Online, Project Rem, and procrastination), I did not write this until today. Ticket sales have been pulled and refunds will be issued swiftly.Īnime Conji's web site content has been pulled and replaced with a FAQ.Note: This is a blog post I was supposed to have written literally half a year ago. We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest apologies and heartfelt thanks for your understanding and continued support. Unfortunately to meet this goal, Anime Conji will have to take a small break. We have collectively decided to focus on expanding and improving each of our events, bringing a level of quality seen in our larger shows to our smaller events. We at the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation regret to inform our attendees that Anime Conji 2016, scheduled for March 25th - 27th at the Sheraton Hotel & Marina has been canceled. The notice, posted on their web site on Friday, December 18th, reads as follows: The Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (SPJA), organizers of Anime Expo and Anime Conji, have announced that Anime Conji 2016 has been canceled.
