Anime Expo (AX) is one of the largest gathering of Anime Fans in the U.S. Last year's attendance was 17000 members and this year the rumor is that there were 25000 people. There are literally many thousands of costumes worn over the 4 day convention. However, unlike prior years, mainly I took pictures of friends and family. These are some of my favorites.

The characters portrayed in this picture are Ed, the protagonist and Envy, a shapeshifter, from the Anime Full Metal Alchemist.
