Bigger and better and chock full of anime goodies, Exhibit Hall was an exhausting trip. And that was just after stepping inside! This year's Exhibit Hall was completely sold out and packed in a record number of booths with bigger spaces, wider isles, and larger budgets. Also with all the buzz about Best Booth Decoration Award from AX, everything turned into an wild industry spectacle. With each booth earning more customers by adding attractive sound and light displays, free promotional giveaways, and endless racks of new and old items piled high and across numerous tables for everyone to see, AX2004 was the hotbed of a total anime shopping experience. CDs, DVDs, art books, magazines, toys, games, dolls, shirts, pins, hats... everything and anything... it was there and if it wasn't, it was probably bought up! This year's Exhibitors included: A.D.
