Anime Expo 2011- 7/2

So I randomly decided to head off to the Anime Expo in Los Angeles today. It was an okay experience. I'm not the biggest anime fan, but I do spend a lot of time with people who are obsessed with the stuff. I didn't talk to many people, but I did say hi to Gia (originally from WhikeyMedia's AnimeVice, but now works with AnimeNewsNetwork). I didn't buy anything other than food, which was already too pricey, but hey, that's conventions for you. At the end of the day, it was a...different experience, since I don't tend to go to conventions.
It's cool seeing people get creative with costumes. But while the atmosphere is interesting, the panels I attended didn't grab me, really. Aksys was showing off trailers to games I know nothing about, but it's fun watching fans flip out over these announcements. The other panel I attended was the one for AnimeNewsNetwork, who were taking questions. I also ran into Sora-thekey and Tom Pinchuk, so there's that. Anyway, I know what you're thinking - WHERE ARE THE PICTURES!? Alrighty then, here's what I took. Also expect a video up once I get the patience to edit it together. Any other questions?
