Check that reality at
the door, because AX2002 was a total anime convention experience from day one to closing
ceremonies! Registration tallied up over 15,000 attendees over the packed weekend, and
that's not including the Exhibit Hall-only roster! With so much to see and do, it's no
wonder so many attendees walked around with glazed eyes of having no sleep 'til
whenever! For many, AX is one of those dream-come-true vacations only the hardcore
otakus could envision, and LLNN managed to capture most of those visions as shown below. |
