5/28/2023 0 Comments Anime conji artist alley faq![]() ![]() Ran into Nitemare1004 at the swap meet, where he was in his White Rock Shooter cosplay! Ran into Crunchyroll’s lovely SailorBee and talented Tomochiyuu! SailorBee was afraid it’d be too dark, but I think it came out great! :O So embarrassed that I even showed her this amateurish photo after I took it. I found out later that this is Guest of Honor Yamamoto Asako, the Chief Editor for COSMODE’s “COSnap”. We saw her shooting and we all asked for pictures. “How to make Geek Culture pay your rent with(out) really trying” was quite interesting and informative! Took in one of the several Chocolate Covered Cosplay panels held that weekend. Here is Super Saki as the adorable PMX mascot! Ran into many of my friends from AX (both are run by SPJA) and PMX down there. The lovely and personable Guest of Honor Vampy in her Metroid cosplay! This amigurumi (crocheted stuff toy) of Totoro at one of the tables was huge! It’s an animated holiday special produced by David Choe and Good Smile Company and animated by Japan’s animation powerhouse, Sanzigen, of Ultra Super Pictures!ĮDIT: Photoshoot with Kazumi Cosplay as well as photoshoot with Hikari Twinkle and Nomster are on-line!Īrtists Alley was set up along the walls of the Dealers Hall. When Halloween is in trouble, a mysterious masked boy goes beyond his limits to try and save Halloween. Good Smile Company shared a booth with Guest of Honor Rhode Montijo, who is the director/creator of the upcoming animated special The Halloween Kid, based on the children’s book published by Simon & Schuster. I was able to participate in a couple of photoshoots (photos soon!) and I also peeked in on the dealers hall and swap meet. This year’s Anime Conji’s theme was “Celebrating Cosplay”, and with “Cosplay Is Not Consent” being the topic du jour, there were signs everywhere reminding people of the fact. I’m glad I was able to get one of this very well-done Belle! I saw some Ariels, but I didn’t get a chance to take pictures of any of them for one reason or another. The locale was rather lovely, the event taking place at a resort, and the overcast weather helped in keeping the weather cool. This cosplay (and cosplayer Luna Lovely Cosplay) was quite eye-catching! Lots of white, which offered a nice contrast against all the beige and green. In 20, the event was held online due to the coronavirus pandemic.Had always heard about Anime Conji, so when the opportunity for me to check it out arose, I took it! Drove down to a couple of friends’ place and stayed the night before heading down to San Diego in the early (early for me, anyway) morning! The SPJA also took over the Anime Conji convention in San Diego in 2012 and managed it until the convention’s cancellation in 2016. Anime Expo New York was held in 2002 and Anime Expo Tokyo took place in 2004. The Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation has organized two spin-off conventions outside California. The convention also hosts a charity auction. It includes Exhibit Hall with nearly 400 exhibitors and vendors offering all kinds of merchandise and Artist Alley where semi-professional and amateur artists showcase their work. Like most other fan conventions, Anime Expo has a large shopping area. It features an impressive array of events and activities including AMV competition, AMV theater, industry panels, manga lounge, premiers & screenings, dance battles, game shows, comedy showdowns, masquerade, tabletop gaming, cosplay gatherings and photo sets, art show, fashion show, game shows, maid cafe, workshops, arcade, entertainment hall, concerts, karaoke, and more. Previous guests include voice actors Junichi Suwabe, Masakazu Morita and Ron Rubin, producer Yuuichi Fukushima, founder and president of P.A.Works Kenji Horikawa, and many others.Īnime Expo offers a rich and diverse program divided into several sections: Anime/Manga, Contests, Cosplay, Culture, Gaming, Music, and Shopping. Every edition of Anime Con has featured anime creators, manga artists, produces, screenwriters, voice actors (seiyū), musicians, and cosplayers. Over the years, it has grown to become the largest anime convention in North America, surpassing Otakon (a major anime convention held in Baltimore, Maryland).Īnime Expo attracts over 100,000 anime and Japanese popular culture fans thanks to the many notable industry guests, including those from Japan. In 1994, Anime Expo relocated to Southern California where it has been held every year since. It was a kind of successor to AnimeCon, an anime convention held in San Jose, California in 1991. The first Anime Expo was held on Jin Northern California. ![]()
