I realize that some attendees opt to cosplay as sexy characters and that’s fine within reason however I honestly can’t help but to get irked by the obvious sexualization that occurs at these events. There were a good amount of half naked guys dressed as Hashibira Inosuke from Demon Slayer and all I can say is yay? I say this because I often get turned off with how women’s bodies are sexualized at these events. Both movies were good and I’m glad I decided to watch The House of the Lost on the Cape at the last minute, despite originally not wanting to out of fear that it would be too depressing of an anime. It was filled with people and I got annoyed at times because a guy sitting in front of me was blocking my view halfway into the movie. The House of the Lost on the Cape screening was a different story, though. There weren’t a lot of people present for the screening of Ryoma! Prince of Tennis and all I can say is that it was like having the whole screening room to myself. I saw Ryoma! Prince of Tennis and The House of the Lost on the Cape. From the get go, the Exhibit Hall was filled with people and I just told myself I wasn’t going to bother with it since I would rather attend a screening. It seemed like this was the day that people really showed up to Anime Expo Chibi.

Like, dude, if you and your posse have an issue with other people viewing your car/cars, leave your car and yourself at home?)ĭay 1was popping. (I wasn’t too fond of this one dude that glared at me while he was photographing, though. Of course, there weren’t a lot of cars yet when I arrived, however it was nice nonetheless to see some good looking cars before officially calling it a day. Although I didn’t stay until the end of the night, I managed to visit a car meet happening adjacent to Anime Expo Chibi. Unfortunately, most of the performers faced sound technical difficulties. I didn’t stay until the end (11 pm) of Night Market, but found the traditional performance lovely and Black Rose amusing. The thing with LA is that I at least can take public transportation to the event and feel good about not having to waste precious cha-ching on parking.ĭay 0 was meant to be a day to eat food and watch performances. Yes, parking was a whopping $15, but I can’t complain since parking in LA would cost more. I wasted $15 on parking just to be able to pick up my wristband on Day 0. And I was right.ĭay 0 was wristband pick up, Night Market and Car Meet day.

Would there be a lot of people? Perhaps, but I figured it’d be a lot less in comparison to the main Anime Expo event held “every” summer. Regardless, I decided to buy a ticket since I was in desperate need of doing something to feel “normal” again. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I decided to buy a ticket to the first ever Anime Expo Chibi event.
