People aggressively handing out free CDs. + I admired fans' creative and passionate cosplays. Yu-Gi-Oh characters wielding life-size duel disks, Kingdom Hearts denizens brandishing life-size Keyblades, and Akatsuki ruffians. - Lotta other cosplays with enough flamboyance to make TonyLCsign say "Anyways!" lol + Free nearby street parking within 3-5 min walking distance. At other convention centers, the nearest free street parking can be a 15min walk. + The venue is kept clean and aesthetic. + Good price. Only $40 for an exciting, bustling all-day event. (I only went on Thur.) - Some of the segments were boring. In one room about GenV Pkmn, the speaker was talking about non-existent Pkmn badges or something about how dog Pkmn "just hit". Felt like an unproductive, meaningless waste of time to me. + Other segments were interesting. One artist was taking impromptu live requests. An audience member requested a stylized Pokemon, and within minutes the artist drew a Slowking with abs swirling a champagne glass. lol + I like how in the gameroom, consoles were laid out with tables and chairs as well as arcade machines for fans to take a break and play some retro, nostalgic video games. - Have to bring your own controllers though. + Also like the tabletop gameroom where you could check out board games and play with people. - Surprised there were several mahjong tables too. + Many restrooms spread throughotu the entire event building. + Giant hall near the back had numerous shops selling merchandise and souvenirs. Also had heavily decorated animé cars and meet-the-artist booths. - Confused why it's called ALA despite residing in Long Beach, not Los Angeles. https://animelosangeles.org/

Definitely a huge upgrade from last year's con…read more More convention space, events, things to do, and much more organized! It's definitely not a small con anymore and I still reminisce on not just the days when it was held at the Ontario Con Center (already getting pretty big), but at the Marriott Hotel in LAX, but if you want a bigger winter con, ALA is the place to go! They still do have the traditions that make this con unique, like the ALA ribbons. These can be acquired from attending certain gatherings, events, or panels, interacting with cosplayers or other attendees, answering trivia or quiz questions or doing a challenge, cosplaying from a certain series or character yourself, going through the ribbon station (I believe there's trading and a ribbon gacha as well), and even from certain artists and vendors. Just be MINDFUL and RESPECTFUL regarding ribbons since I've seen con goers turn their noses towards others for not having ribbons to give them? Like what in the world? Relax! There's a decent amount of vendors and artists, but I think it's honestly enough to see in 2 days (I was only there for 2 days after all). They do have some of the industry guests that I've seen at AX, so that's pretty cool. Really liked the Gamer/Anime Waifu themed energy drink mix that they were handing out different samples out every day. There's a small arcade area that's free to play as well, a singular maid café serving food and boba, an itasha alley inside, food trucks right outside, and there's a wing connecting the main con area to a separate side with the costume repair and other rooms and gathering areas. Just an FYI for cosplayers or photographers trying to get to some locations. It would be noted on the con map, but wouldn't indicate which floor it was on so there was some lateness and confusion since there are upper and lower outside layers. Would be cool if they mentioned this in future program guides. Sucks that the photo backdrop room is no longer a thing at ALA, but alas, I guess you can just go to the aquarium or pier instead for photos. My biggest qualm is the swap meet. Not only was it inaccessible to those with disabilities (being reachable only through a staircase), it's just ridiculous to even expect the sellers to carry SO MUCH merchandise down those stairs instead of having an elevator available to them. ALSO, Jesus Christ guys. Just implement an online queueing system or a virtual queue system. It's ridiculous that some attendees have to physically wait in line for 2+ hours just to have good pickings of the swap meet line. That wastes so much time that attendees could be shopping or having fun elsewhere. Yes this is no longer a small con and it's growing and will continue to grow, so here's hoping that those organizing it can grow as well!
