Anime Expo is here! With it, a sweaty maelstrom of Otaku (fans of japanimation) lands on the LA Convention Center (the one from Face/Off). It's been 2 years since they've had one like this because of covid.

Just look at this crowd!

Get ready for the anime virus, folks. Also lol the security will take away your food and eat it so better line up for your $20 snack packs!

Nobody respects anime fans, not even the companies that make merchandise aimed at them, that's why those companies will charge $300 for a DVD box set that's just 10 episodes and force the fans to eat ramen to afford all the stuff they want to buy.

I mean if someone's running a booth I'm pretty sure they're there all day and not just a few hours, also it's just hilariously lovely to charge $20 for two vending machine snack bags and some dodgy-looking muffins

but lmao at any conventions running at all, especially at that size. lmfao that this still happened after the con organizers tried to remove covid safety protocols and got shamed into backtracking.

I don't see the reason to dismiss complaints that very well may be legitimate of how the expo is being managed. Yeah they attendee's and workers aren't any Darfur war orphans, but no need to mock people being unable to get food or drink for long periods of time.

the staff need to show some decency here and skip lunch. there is merch to sell. if anybody deserves to collapse from a lack of doritos, it isn't the people paying hundreds of dollars for figurines.
