Eventhough I did not attend the Anime Expo at the Long Beach Convention Center the last week of June, I did get to see a lot of the fan base and Anime's growing popularity in effect in the streets of Downtown Long Beach. My friends and I were at Gameworks and we got to see a parade of Anime characters and Japanese-Influence fashion. It was like Halloween! But in the summer, and without the creepy vibe and trick-or-treating bags. It was all fun and good times. Gameworks was blasting Japanese cartoons on the plasma TVs, and even video game characters like Sonic the Hedge Hog, and Mr. and Mrs. Pacman made brief appearances. It was an interesting experience. I felt like a kid in an amusement park. Seeing the folks so immersed in the Anime Movement got me intrigued and curious about Japanese cartoons. I had never seen an Anime prior to this event, but the excitement in Long Beach prompted me to go out and rent a few.
