As with any convention, the vast mixes of culture that make up the attendance can have a dramatic effect on the personality of the convention itself.  Well, we can confirm that this year was absolutely CRAZY.  Shown below is LLNN's surreal trip through the AX cosmos.

Anime Expo 2001
Alien Sightings Part 2

 As if it wasn't already obvious to the public, AX made it known that it would be dominating most of the area.
 Dominating the Hyatt Hotel lobby.
 Dominating the walkways.  Dominating the LBCC areas.
 Lines constantly formed for 35mm films showing Pokemon 2000, Iron Giant, Batman: The Mask of Phantasm, Escaflowne the Movie, Cyberteam in Akihabara, Blood: The Last Vampire, Perfect Blue, Ah! My Goddess! the Movie, Akira (original 35mm film print), Tenchi Muyou! in Love, and Legend of Galactic Heroes: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars.
 But for some people, nighttime at AX is a time to relax and soak in the distant lights on a quiet pier.
