JORU BRUN AT

After two years, Anime Expo has returned. Let's see what awaits in Anime Expo's Two Year Time Skip arc.

I'm not really a car person, but the show was a nice change of pace and scenery. Hopefully this is something for car enthusiasts out there.

Despite the craziness that was the humungous crowd and long lines to get in, I had a good time this year. Here's hoping that crowd control is improved upon and that line management gets better, especially for going into panels. I also added audio from the panels I attended, hence why the length of the video is long. If you wish to skip those, then feel free.

I found out about this a week before it started, so I figured I give this place a try. And thank God that I did. Love to see something like this in Anime Expo. Also, my phone sucks, so some parts of the recording were cut due to piss poor memory. I need to replace my phone.

What happens when you combine Anime Expo and Rising Japan Music Fest? You get the OC Japan Fair. Really enjoyed this one and honestly would have stayed for another day if I went on my own. I had to rely on some friendly transportation for this one, but overall, not a bad experience, even just for one day.

First time going here and wasn't a bad experience overall, but this is way smaller compared to Anime Expo. Still, there were some moments here that I enjoyed. I would like to come back here again.

Unlike the safety hazard from last year, crowd control was handled way better, though the exits could use some work. Panels weren't that much of a problem to get into (assuming you show up at the line early) and the musical performances weren't that bad either (my favorite being Asterism). Had some gripes this year, but ultimately worth the trip. About Panel recordings: They're still lengthy as usual, so feel free to skip them if you wish. I also made some trims to highlight the more important or personal aspects so that way viewers/listeners can enjoy the panel audio without much excessive information.

Had to explore some uncharted territory to attend this. Not a bad night to celebrate another year living on this ball of dirt.
