I only attended one of the days, August 29th (being the Saturday.) I attended with 2of my other friends. I cosplayed as Suiseiseki from Rozen Maiden, and one of my friends cosplayed Chii from Chobits.
This was a particularly new experience to me, as the only other convention that I had attended was Anime North. Fan Expo was pretty fun, but when compared to Anime North, I would probably rate it a 4/10.
UUUUUGHHHHHHHHHH. Is all I have to say.
My friend went there two years ago, and told me it wasn't very good. She came back this year hoping for some improvements.... not so much, though.
I guess it's because it's a con split up between 5 different genres. It's not exactly all dedicated to anime so I didn't really do a whole lot of shopping. I did get a a poster, some Vocaloid prints and some lolita accessories though.
As for cosplayers, there weren't as many as I hoped there would be. The majority of cosplayers (I'm guessing) were characters from comic books. However, some of the cosplayers were amazing! There were zombies, anime characters, Marvel characters and a whole load of Darth Vaders and Stormtroopers. Also, my friend (Chii) and I got a lot of attention because our costumes were frilly and lolita-ish.
I would attend this convention again, but probably just to cosplay and see the costumes. (Maybe just sneak downstairs and sit around and have a cosplay picnic.)
But I would recommend this convention to people who are more interested in comic books, gaming, and horror!

Yeah, I agree with you. I only liked the anime part. I saw some pretty good Vocaloid cosplays and a FFX Yuna on Friday! Anime North is going to be much better.
