Last weekend was Anime Expo, a gathering of the fans for the fans. While the event may have smelled a bit like someone who hasn't left a dank basement nearly enough (most likely because some attendees haven't), I always have a blast. I was amazed by the dedication of the cosplayers, and some of the outfits this year were unbelievably good. I usually have a tough time not shelling out for some of the awesome toys and cels, but I managed to escape with my bank account intact. Also, the "Artists Alley" section had some really talented individuals.

Check out the photo gallery for some highlights, and be sure to watch the videos to see the "Caramelldansen" 4chan meme in full effect.
