Anime Fans Flock to Downtown L.A.
11:03 AM July 2, 2009
They're not Michael Jackson fans -- they're devotees of anime, Japanese animation. The second annual Anime Expo takes place at the L.A. Convention Center.
People from all over the world are attending. They come dressed as their favorite characters.

This wasn't the second Anime Expo. AX has been going on for years. This was just the second one to be held at the LA Convention Center. It'll be there next year too. Get your tickets now, it was amazing!

Paul, you are so right. I try and attend the The San Deigo Comic Con every year and I have a blast. The people are great, and there are many Anime fans who attend and everyone gets along. It's very positive. The SciFi and comic fans are the best hands down.

I would still rather be around them than any sports fan. They are far more fun.

I would really doubt there will be a riot with the Anime fans like there was with the Laker fans. They are just way cooler people. :-) The show ends on Sunday.

Nice to see the downtown populated with people with imagination and whimsy for a change than sport nuts. Go Anime fans go. Enjoy your weekend.
