    Its crazy how big anime has gotten. During the 90s and early 2000s, the only anime people watched was dragonballz and pokemon and it was kind of a niche thing. Now it seems like every gen zer is into anime.

      Genz basically has the internet on them 24/7, they have it much easier to access stuff like anime unlike past gens who either had to import, buy overpriced dvds or torret whole seasons.

      American cartoons today: We're out of ideas. Lets reboot and remake our old cartoons and give the Simpsons and SpongeBob 50 more seasons.
      Anime today: We STILL have 1,000 original ideas and less remakes and reboots.

      In Japanese an "anime" is only the word for "cartoon". B It's come from the word "animation" and I guess the tv hostess use the word "cartoon" because we can assume that she is talking to a generic audience that maybe don't know what an "anime" is.

    Today was my first and possibly last AX. Has AX always had such a problem managing crowds and lines? Their presentation is great but their line/crowd management is pretty poor. I hope this is just because it's the first AX in 2.5 years since the pandemic. But my brother's friend went on Day 1 and they did not have fun. Overcrowded as hell and even ordering food at the convention center was a hassle. An hour wait just for their food and then the kitchen was shut down due to running out of food. Is it always like this???
    I have been to tons of San Diego Comic-Con Internationals and not even they're this disorganized. I will say this. AX definitely feels like Comic-Con once you get into the building. But not even their crowds are that disorganized.

      Have only heard from other con-goers, but the consensus I've received is that it's always like that. It's unfortunate, but it seems like in order to have fun at AX you have to prepare yourself with the extreme overcrowding in mind. For me, I'm not planning to get any food at AX, bringing my own meals instead so I can stand in one less line.
