Dressing Up To Join The Fun
I was excited and dressed up when we drove to Pasadena. My husband and I are Ninjas inspired by the anime series “Naruto.” Initially, we wanted our baby to dress up as Naruto, and we’ll be his ninja; however, we found a “Dragon Ball Z” baby costume, and we fell in love with it.
Our baby was “Goku”, and we were his ninjas, think of it as a Multiverse, a series of worlds intertwined by a catastrophic chain of events, which was made popular by the “Avengers” movies.
Getting In Takes Time
Anyway, what I hated about the event was the line to get into the convention. It was ridiculously long! We waited for 3 hours to get inside the convention. It was also COVID times, so maybe that made it worse? That was an unpleasant experience for me, especially with a baby; however, after we went in, I was like, “It’s actually worth it.”

Event Shows
Free Photoshoots
My favorite part of the event was the free photoshoots! This was definitely the highlight of my day. Our baby had a blast showing off his costume; even the photographer was ecstatic to see him smile.
Pikachu's Everywhere
Outside the convention, there were two gigantic “Pikachu” and a “Baby Yoda.” What more can I ask for?! What would have made this event even better is having food stalls or food trucks? We were starving during the event.
Thanks For The Featured Post
There’s another exciting thing that happened after the convention. The photographer who took our picture loved our family photo and featured us on the official Anime Pasadena website. Our first Anime convention and we had an amazing time, can’t wait to try Comic Convention next time.
