Day 4 and still no photos...Could this be the result from a glitch?

Is everyone having this problem? I can't replicate the issue you're having - the photos show up fine for me. I'll ask our team.

It seems a lot of people are - I haven't been able to see anything either.

@Zac
I am not seeing the pictures with Firefox (with AdBlock and Noscript disabled on that page), the Chrome browser, or IE. All running in Windows 7. |

Ah, now I see the problem. The photos are not in the article, they're displayed right on the frontpage itself, in the sidebar. I'll add the Twitter widget to the article as well. |

Are the photos from the Twitter feed https://twitter.com/ann_events? 12 tweets in the last 24 hours doesn't seem like a huge lot for such a big event. |

Yeah, on the last two days the editorial team's interview and panel schedule was packed and we didn't have quite as much time as we thought to tweet the show. We'll keep the feed busier at Otakon, scout's honor! |

Thanks, I can imagine that it can be hard enough to get good photos even without such schedules. Editorial content is good also, I've seen a concert report on another site for a previous Otakon where there were 92 photos but only mention of one song by name from the set list. |

I love Bamboo's cosplaying of Nico--she looks adorable!

I am sorry for the late reply, but there was an element of earnest behind my earlier jest. Our weather is, for the most part, an endless autumn. Having grown accustomed to this, the scorch of a real summer is hardly to my taste. To an extent I pity the poor souls bracing the artists' alley of AX—accounts from attendees suggest it was tropical in the most perspirant of ways. |

The weather was not bad on Sunday, but it was definitely humid. We picked up our badges on Saturday in the evening, so there was no line. In the past would always pick the badge the morning of whatever day we picked. It would a two hour wait, minimum. Like leafy sea dragon said, there was no tarp for the 503AB. I went to the Studio Bones panel. This year was better organized than most. I have attended all but two or three AX's since 2007. I should be at work right now, but I picked up a virus from somebody at the con. Yeah.. |

Now I can see the photos! Awesome!
The scene that's had trouble being described is Kirby and Gooey. Kirby is, of course, the Nintendo platforming character. Gooey is the Player 2 character from a couple of the earlier Kirby games and controls identically to Kirby. I never saw that Jibanyan anywhere. That's so awesome! I also want a plush of Kuro from Blue Exorcist. Never saw them sold anywhere. Yep, I spent most of my time in the entertainment hall at the "coolest spot in all of anime expo." I got the #1 high score on Terminator 2: Judgment Day on Saturday night with a high score of 147 million (initials are CHR), but they were reset the following day. The top rollover lights were fiddly, however, so it screwed with my ability to multiply the end-of-ball bonuses. Then, the following day, someone way better than me was at it, putting up scores in the 300 million range. Go fig. I was never any good with the Super Jackpots; I prefer to get my scores via Payback Time. I have no idea how to play Rollergames though, so I couldn't get the massive scores its high score list boasted. By the way, the bags were themed not just on Akame ga Kill, but on Parasyte, Ushio & Tora, Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma, and more I can't recall at the moment. Both Sentai and Crunchyroll were competing to get their bags to attendees, and on Day 0, there was much clamor over the Akame ga Kill bags from people who instead got the tiny orange Crunchyroll bags, though starting on Day 1, Crunchyroll started giving out the bigger bags Sentai had been providing.
I finally went to a non-403 event on Day 3, and it not only did not have those tarp tents, the line ran parallel right next to a row of them. (It was the Room 515 line.) I think I just had bad luck. (My job requires me to spend large amounts of time outside in the sun lifting heavy objects. I would LOVE to have shade, but I'll put up with 20 minutes of walking to the convention center and another 20 minutes back. For the record, it's the lot at the northwest corner of 8th and Flower, which is $6 for each weekend day and weekday evening. It's slowly getting taken over by reserved parking spaces though. When I first parked there a few years ago, I could park on the second floor. Now I have to travel almost to the fifth floor.)
Yeah, I think I mentioned it already, but this is the coolest, weather-wise, an Anime Expo has ever been that I went to. And again, the brutal California sun makes it a world of difference between whether you're in the shade or not. |
