Some familiar anime faces on hand: Nobu Yamamoto of Anime Village,
the Bandai subsidiary, was in the company's booth... |
...along with a hungry Jerry Chu. |
The bimonthly Protoculture Addicts magazine had a booth to sell manga
and mags, with publisher Claude Pelletier... |
...along with writer and artist Miyako Matsuda. |
Those people waited in the second-floor dealers' room while hundreds
of people lined up for the dropping of the green flag. |
The opening line snaked from one corridor across the convention center's
main concourse, then down another corridor at the other side of the building. |
