Anime Weekend Atlanta IV - First Day Highlights - Oct. 9, 1998


First, a look at the people who made an early arrival at the convention hotel.

Then, a glance at the first costumers at Anime Weekend Atlanta IV.

More time strolling through the halls produced more images of anime fans in costume.

Some of the leaders of the American anime industry brought AWA up to speed on the real-world state of the business.

Then AWA took a turn toward the unpredictable with the opening ceremony...

...while things got rocking in an unusual way with the Ippongi Bang concert.

As AWA's first night ended, a fresh group of cosplayers appeared...

...and we looked at the costumers who came out after the sun set on Georgia.
