Report From Anime Expo:

This morning I rose at the hellishly early hour of 5:00 A.M. to venture forth to the Anaheim Convention Center, dragging my elder brother behind me. The reason behind my behavior was simple: Anime Expo, a gathering grounds for anime freaks.

Although I had long considered myself such a freak, this was the first year I decided I could handle a day at AX and a week at ComicCon and live. I wish I could describe the Expo to you as a mind-reeling force, not to be reckoned with unless you happened to be equipped with something along the lines of a cattle prod.

Sadly, this wasn`t the life-altering experience I had expected, mainly because of the many numbing years I had spent following my father to the Comic Convention. On the upside, this convention is strictly anime. If you spot a LOTR cosplayer or a weenery adolescent dressed as Harry Potter, you may spit on their sad little heads.

Beautiful, sweet, undaunted anime, after a few hours of walking the halls, I bought myself a special Totoro shirt, and I was happy. But my elder sibling, Tobias, was unhappy; he did not have a proficient amount of money for his Rebirth manga. Until I selflessly assisted in his purchase, and we feasted upon unhealthy food by the lobby doors.

Unfortunately, I couldn`t wrench the camera from my father`s iron grip for a day, and none of this was recorded. Fortunately, I have selected a few choice pictures of vaguely related topics for your viewing. Well, that`s about it my darling fishies. Say no to drugs, avoid fatty foods, join ASIFA-Hollywood. It`s the path to true happiness.
