Anime Expo 2011 took place on July 1 - 4, 2011 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles, CA. The California heateave did not stop 46,000 otaku from all over the country to attend the largest anime convention in the Western Hemisphere. Even with another simillar themed convention running the same weekend 20 miles away, Anime Expo was in full force ringing in their 20th anniversay. Anime Expo 2011 promised to be the "Year of the Fan." Guests of Honor from the anime and manga industry appealed to seasoned and a younger generation of otaku. This is Anime Expo's fourth consecutive year at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

This is Scarlet Rhapsody's thirteenth consecutive year at Anime Expo. We are also honored to have a partnership with LAUSD to hire an intern for this event. The theme for this report is based off Lady Gaga's Born This Way album. The lyric, "Whether life's disabilities left you outcast, bullied, or teased, rejoice and love yourself today 'cause baby you were born this way" from the title track best describes the party vibe and celebrating fandom. We hope you enjoy this report!
