Anime Expo pics

I attended Anime Expo in Long Beach on Saturday. It was hot, sweaty, and packed with cosplay action--like an otaku fest should be.


Most of the big companies were there, and some of them had pro booth bunnies and mascots.


Like the old days at the Comic-Con, there were tons of smaller booths selling DVDs, comics, and toys. A lot blended together, but some were more specialized, like this yaoi one.


This place sold corsets and frilly parasols for the hardcore Gothic & Lolita crowd.


This R2-D2 pachinko machine would look great in your cantina.


Coming soon, Voltron kicks by Reebok!


Even otaku need a break.
