I haven't really bought a badge in a few years because I haven't had any reasons to go.Well... we skipped a year. Or two. Or then we got a day pass or exhibit hall pass.
I did hear we have some good panels this year though!
I almost sorta regret not going to last year's because Uchikoshi showed up and announced Zero Time Dilemma (Zero Escape 3). Instead I just hyped it up by refreshing neogaf and the subreddit in Little Tokyo.
I mean I may go if I find out friends from out of state go but I generally skip out on Anime Expo itself now. I don't spend much time going around the hall or to panels, when I go to Exhibit Hall I check out my friends' booths in artist alley or check if there's some odd manga I haven't been able to purchase online. But almost all the time I find a hallway with an outlet, hook up the Karma or Wifi hotspot of choice and play FFXIV. Then find food.
AX is "Find friends. Say hi. Check out Exhibit Hall. Sit in hallways. Eat with friends. Sit in hallways. Eat FUCKING BOMB AYCE KOREAN BBQ WITH FRIENDS. Go home."
