I present the rest of the loots that I obtained from this year’s Anime Expo.
Here are most of the posters I picked up this year at AX. The top seven posters are from the eroge Valkyrie Complex, the two in the middle are from Da Capo 2 autographed by the illustrator, and the autograph sketch on the left is also from an eroge. (>_<)
With Anime Expo 2009 over, I thought I’ll share some of the pictures I took there. Enjoy!

Leaving in the morning for a road trip down to Los Angeles, California to attend AX09. I’ll be gone for a few days, and there might or might not be new posts until then.
To anyone else that’s attending, hope we’ll have a great time! For the people unable to go, here’s a moe version of C.C. by Tatekawa Mako to cheer you up. ^^
So I’ve decided to attend AX this year and compiled a list of the GoHs attending along with some of the projects they’ve worked on. The info was found on the Anime Expo website along with some help from the Anime News Network.

For those still unaware, there is an Anime Expo 2009 being held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from July 2-5. Late registration for a 4-day adult pass is $65.00, with registration at the door being only $5 dollars more. This is way cheaper than Blizzcon’s two day pass priced at $125.00, which I will be looking forward to attending this August. The real cost is in the transportation, hotel fees, food, and merchandise (^_^).
I haven’t been to an anime convention yet which makes this tempting to go to along with the fact that special guests will be there. There’s Hiroyuki Imaishi (Evangelion, Gurren Lagann), Yun Kouga (Character Designer for Gundam 00), Toshiyuki Morikawa (VA for Sephiroth and more), and many more Guests of Honor along with Industry Guests. It would be awesome to meet them and get their autographs.
Of course, there are always the main and interactive events which should be fun as well. For those interested in getting more info, visit their site at http://www.anime-expo.org.
