Anime LA is Absolutely Insane

Anime LA has got to be one of the craziest, most colorful and random conventions out there. With more than 3,000 people attending, all dressed up to the nines in some serious costumes, it would have been a bit like experiencing a children’s fancy dress party featuring Grade A narcotics.

The presence of an emergency costume repair center is a note of how serious these cosplayers take their craft. The images blow my mind, I can not say how desperate I am to go to one of these for real very soon.
