Many manga artists found the alcohol-based Neopiko markers to be a great buy at Anime Expo. Cheaper than the competitor, Neopiko markers are ideal when drawing manga because the colors do not bleed when mixed on the paper. Many anime fans released their creative energy when they used these markers to draw fan art live at the Akadot booth!

Fans enjoyed reading about famous 3D computer generated female models including well-known virtual idols such as Ken-Ichi Kutsgi's "Yuki Terai", "Fei Fei" from Blue Moon Studios Inc. and "Aki Ross" from Square Picture's popular movie "Final Fantasy The Spirits Within." Even though the models aren't real, at least you can buy them.
