holy shit that is a lot of people I knew anime was going mainstream but this is way bigger than anything I've ever seen quality of cosplays have gone up too, so many are really good!
@@vivt.9619 "anime expo just oversells tickets." nah dude. people who have money and are jerks, buy, THEN sell tickets for a higher price for those last minute people. trust me, days before, youll see people posting ads on reddit, and even on the street posts about their tickets they're selling.
I was there back in 2009 and throughout the years all the way to 2014. The place has become very popular to a point that it is just not feasible to go because you can barely walk around. There were years that I waited outside of the building along with hundreds of other people waiting to get our badges. They need to organized this into two locations to ease the congestion.
1:10:23 Thats me with the gray hat and black and green backpack. And the film camera rig on me. Filming my friend who is ghost face in front of me lol. Nice catch of me in my natural habitat!
Thank you so much! I wanted to go, but i live too far away and i would be too scared of overstumulation. Now i can see what an anime convention looks like! ❤
This is so cool! But MAN it's really crowded. It feels like what Saturday at SDCC used to feel like back in the day. Just stuffed in there like sardines. LOL Very cool video! ^_^
It was exactly like that! Been going to AX since 08, and this year was soo good and reminded me of the good ol days of Anime Expo. Hope next year is just as good.
You want to be around even more people? I enjoyed having less people in public places and people wearing masks so they aren't getting their saliva everywhere.
@@CaptainBuggyTheClown what??? Lol no I enjoyed that the con was ran more smoothly this year. Wth are you even talkin about? Lol we arent going to get around the fact that its become popular lol so my point is, they actually managed the large amount of people properly this year. No chaos, ppl didnt smell as much this year, they openes 2 entrances to the con, the lines kept moving and wasn't waiting forever, they blasted the AC the whole time. Shit just went well. Litteraly every popular con now-a-days is gonna be crowded...same as sdcc.
If you're going while cosplayed its tons of fun. The more well known a character is the more interaction from other fans and photographers you'll get. Although I had a friend who was super good in a cosplay and he got SO SICK of people asking for photos after so much walking. We would be eating lunch sitting down in a corner and someone would come up. Your costume heavily will influence how long you stay at the con. Larger costumes or heavy ones in the summer, plus so much body heat everywhere, will make you worn out within 3-6 hours. Merch can be a huge rip off and anything you buy will need to be carried unless you got a hotel room or car to store it.
I've never been, but I would go if it weren't for the rumors about the smell. Does it actually smell bad in there or is it a rumor or joke I'm not getting
Combine LA weather with a lot of bodies + cosplay fabric, wafts of cafeteria food and the occasional lack of hygiene = 😬 It's about the same at any convention really.
The people, oh my god, the people! The people alone would be worth the trip! So many interesting costumes and trinkets and accessories and mascots and etc... I imagine there's a story behind every single one. I imagine everyone I see here could talk all day about what they're wearing or what they're holding or carrying... I want to go! Please come to the east coast!
I went July 3rd, I saw online that the first two days were more crowded and no air conditioning but thankfully not a lot of people for me and air conditioning worked
yeah it was actually pretty chill the first few days, considering the amount of people. really impressed with this year, compared to the last few years
Man, I would Love to be at an Anime Expo. I'm 36, but I'd be a 6yr old kid in a Lego store 😂 I'd want to experience in Japan or this one in LA.. I don't think London's Expo can compete, from the vids I've seen 😔
I must be outta touch with current anime.. many promotions were unknown to me. I'll keep watching but curious if any new merch for Rurouni Kenshin; I've liked the remake anime so far on Crunchyroll. That Griffith figure from Berserk was also lovely.
To a degree, I agree. But, at the same time, I'm here for the exposure and due respect it finally deserves. Akira was my 1st introduction to anything anime as a child in the 90s watching 1am TV.
im dying to go but I live at the whole other side of the country and paying for tickets, rental car, hotel, cosplay, food and fun money to spend itsss soooo muchhhh!!!!!. I will do it one day for sure doe
I'm feeling disappointed I didn't even see any merch from Dragon maid, the time I was reincarnated as a slime, HighSchool DxD, Overlord, Arifureta, Rurouni Kenshin wandering Samurai, my dress up darling, my Senpai is annoying, buddy Daddies .ice blade sorcerer, I want actually anime merch not merchandise that doesn't even seem like it's anime at all!

Anime is mainstream
Anime is mainstream. It’s a $22 billion industry lol
So nice to see the different things at Anime Expo via your videos.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Fought with hotel wifi getting it uploaded as fast as possible ; _ :
@@KawaiiGuy Glad you filmed it.
Crazy how packed it is, had no idea. People can barely move! Los Angeles Convention Center needs to expand big time!! Like twice the size if they can.
all they need to do is have it more than once a year lol
the LA convention center is already really big, like, that thing takes up an entire block on the street, anime expo just oversells tickets

I am proud to be a weebs
みんな楽しそうですごくいい😊
Hey I'm the Sogeking on the bottom right in the first few seconds! Awesome video!
The first day was chaotic! Lol 😂 I’m there dancing!!! 🎉🎉🎉 woot woot! That was so much fun! Wish they would have come backed and played more music!!!
Thank you so much! I wanted to go, but i live too far away and i would be too scared of overstumulation. Now i can see what an anime convention looks like! ❤
Very interesting! Never been to a convention in my whole life
This is so cool! But MAN it's really crowded. It feels like what Saturday at SDCC used to feel like back in the day. Just stuffed in there like sardines. LOL Very cool video! ^_^
AX has similar attendance number to SDCC. This year the first day was on a saturday which made it worst than usual
Thank you very much for your posting☺👍
投稿、ありがとうございます☺👍
Really great video!!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!!
Sounds like so much fun! I wish I could go too.
Comiket in Japan takes place in August, if you have the funds and availability, please come visit!
Thanks for the tour!
This seems more like how con’s used to be pre-pandemic. I’m glad we’re heading towards that direction. Hopefully, SDCC will be like this.

Thank you!
I hope I can attend one of these in the near future it looks so fun.
Trust me, its not 😂

Went last Saturday and wished I could attend more than one day.
You weren't able to purchase 4 day pass?
@@finalxgohan1 Including hotel fees, just too expensive. Plus one day is usually enough anime for me.
I used to go 4 days, but by the third day it was starting to get boring. 4th day was mainly for purchase leftover discounted goods days. @@lonesoul663
i went there on saturday, it was crowded, but it was amazing! i got recognized a lot and people took pictures with me. i was basil from omori
Wow!
hello. thankyou so much for doing this

First time going this year next week I believe it is, any pointers on where to start maybe
I definitely want to check one of these out someday😅
日本のアニメを愛してくれてありがとう

Love the vid! What camera are you using?
I am shooting on the iPhone 14 Pro Max with a DJI Osmo gimbal.
19:13 that's Paul from Team APS
I was looking for someone who noticed too.
so cool
Cool i was on the expo anime today
Was that Varsenex in that Daisy outfit in 25:10 ?
I saw one short video about how very crowded this place is and this one is at least walkable
The hallways on day one were quite crowded, but once inside the entertainment halls people were at least moving/flowing.
1:16:06 wild Hayao Miyazaki spotted
2:28 holy shit SwaggerSouls dancing
How long do they go on? Like what time does it start and then ends?
I lost my penguin hat while at the airport. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VID I WAS ABLW TO FIND THE VENDORS WEBSITE TO BUY IT AGAIN.
Easily one of the best comments yet. I am so glad you found the vendor again!!!
Ayee I’m in the video with my popee the performer cosplay lol
The man at 36:44 was staring straight into my soul.
Man, I would Love to be at an Anime Expo.
I'm 36, but I'd be a 6yr old kid in a Lego store 😂
I'd want to experience in Japan or this one in LA..
I don't think London's Expo can compete, from the vids I've seen 😔
no age limit for being an anime fan man.
what day and time was this?
アメリカ、開催できてよかったねぇ～👍 …でもフランスのジャパンエキスポの開催がちょっと心配😓
Wish I could visit that place
which day is this from?
It's from Day 1 of the Con :)
世界の人がこうやって自分の趣味を楽しんでくれれば少しは平和になるのにな！
Agreed
I must be outta touch with current anime.. many promotions were unknown to me. I'll keep watching but curious if any new merch for Rurouni Kenshin; I've liked the remake anime so far on Crunchyroll. That Griffith figure from Berserk was also lovely.
What camera are you using?
I am filming on the iPhone 14 Pro Max with a dji gimbal.
I was about to say where's the anime wall Scrolls, anime tapestries I'm serious I haven't seen one anime tapestry
Was that Julia dancing around with the attack on titan Hange cosplay?! 1:30 - 1:38
58:38
First day was crowded af but the next few days were a lot better.
Damn that car why is iron mouse-chan 0:01
How is the stench?
Probably like 10099900%
RANDOM GokuFlex 😂 1:01
Thanks for the video. I couldn’t go to expo. I heard there was beta testing for games.
They usually have demo stations and beta builds you can play of both video and card games (similar to E3 :D)
Am I dreaming or was that Draco (Allen) from Krew in the crowd at 5:33?!
I had fun attending AX23!
Anime expo:better than comic con
What day was this?
Haha 😂 I saw myself
4 day pass
It was a cool expo
39:41 was this a specific artist’s booth? Asking for… research purposes
My germaphobia meter would be off the roof if I was ever there. I'll stick with Colossalcon. 😂
I need to get in shape could not handle all that walking. AX needs to bring back chairs and tables at the cafeterias.
Great video! But sadly not much HoyoVerse footage
All this money these anime cons be making they need to just make one big convention center since more people are coming to these things
I wanted to go!!! But I couldn't I needed a ride :( epilepsy is a pain in the ass...oh well I'll see you guys next time
At the 2:14 mark, it’s Yoson An!

I miss when anime was underground in the 90s.
To a degree, I agree.
But, at the same time, I'm here for the exposure and due respect it finally deserves.

至るところに見慣れたアニメやキャラクターがあり、日本語がモニターから大音量で聞こえてくるから。

自由でいいね
Every time I see an anime convention, I wonder if I just entered a giant freak show, I like anima a little bit but there is such a thing as too much
This is too much degenerocity for me
I'm feeling disappointed I didn't even see any merch from Dragon maid, the time I was reincarnated as a slime, HighSchool DxD, Overlord, Arifureta, Rurouni Kenshin wandering Samurai, my dress up darling, my Senpai is annoying, buddy Daddies .ice blade sorcerer,
I want actually anime merch not merchandise that doesn't even seem like it's anime at all!
