Anime Expo

[thetokyootaku]

This will be my first time attending Anime Expo so I'm pretty stoked.

Anyone here going?
Any AE vets able to share the must do's and must don'ts of Anime Expo?
Any Anime TV hosts/panelists going to be in attendance for meet and greets?
What's the must see stuff this year?

I know that's a lot of questions, just trying to start a discussion.

Wish I could go to AX. I wanted to compete in the last comic standing.

I really want to go but I can't get time off sadly.

There sounds like there is some really cool stuff to see this year.

Johnny Yong Bosch will be there, but I don't think there will be an Anime Tv panel or anything.

Vic Mignona will be there also which is cool (though I have heard from a few people that he is very rude to fans. I never met him so I don't have first-hand experience)

Shinichi Watanabe will be there which is awesome as well as Katsuyuki Konishi who is a great voice actor. The guy who voices Ichigo (Japanese voice) will be there too. (can't remember his name)

Toshihiro Kawamoto is going to be there too, he is a must see in my opinion since he's worked on Cowboy Bebop and Wolf's Rain.

However, the person I would most want to meet is Rei Hiroe. How could anyone miss seeing the creator of Black Lagoon!

I've never been to Anime Expo but I figure you should follow the same rules as any other anime convention.

Don't run around screaming and glomping people.
Always get food outside of the convention center or be prepared to pay 8 bucks for a crappy hot dog.
Try to save all purchases (unless it's something super rare or something you've been looking for for years) till Sunday. Ask if the vendors can give you discount and they usually do since they don't want to have to pack up a lot of stuff on the last day.
If you don't want to get glomped, you should wear something specifically saying you don't want to be glomped.
Don't touch a girls breast without asking (kind of a given, but it happened to me, so I always include it in my suggestions)

Have fun!
I'm jealous..... maybe next year.
