Costumes at Anime Expo

Earlier in July, the Los Angeles convention center was host to the 2010 Anime Expo, the largest event of its kind in the United States. Drawing in crowds from around the world, this gathering of industry professionals and fans was all about this very popular Japanese pop art form that is found in television, films, video games, books and more. Organizers of the 4-day convention report that more that 100,000 attendee visits were counted and spectators say they saw nearly as many costumes on display.
