"For a generation of TV-watching children growing up in Los Angeles (and across the U.S.) in the 1970s and ’80s, the fantastical sci-fi adventures of Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot achieved instant cult status upon first viewing. Originally produced by the Toei Company and airing on Japan’s NET TV in 1967 as Giant Robo, the 26-episode manga-esque series followed the high-adrenaline exploits of a schoolboy who accidentally becomes a secret agent in command of an imposing, missile-launching flying robot. In 1970, low-budget impresario Roger Corman’s American International Television company imported the action-packed Japanese series to the U.S., dubbed the dialogue, and edited numerous episodes into the compilation TV film Voyage Into Space. The beloved telefilm became a staple of local stations and UHF channels for over a decade — at one point airing five nights a week on KTLA in Los Angeles due to its popularity. "

*One of our all time favs

"One of the craziest horror films ever, the eye-popping, jaw-dropping phantasmagorical J-Horror classic House must be seen to be believed, and now’s your chance on 35mm film. Hoping to find a sense of connection to her late mother, Gorgeous takes a trip to the countryside to visit her aunt at their ancestral house. She invites her six friends, Prof, Melody, Mac, Fantasy, Kung Fu, and Sweet, to join her. The girls soon discover that there is more to the old house than meets the eye."

A classics professor has escaped to a remote mountaintop to exist on her own in isolation, only to have her carefully curated world invaded by a young video gamer and her estranged daughter. Presented by the Ghost Road Company and inspired by the myth of Circe, this performance explores the “banishment” of women of a certain age in our society. Conceived and directed by Ghost Road artistic director Katharine Noon and devised in workshop with the ensemble. Following Saturday's performance will be a Q&A with the director and members of the company.

It may be smaller than the big one at the LA Convention Center, but it's a got plenty to see and do. It might have our favorite version of Artist Alley. While, they say it's a smaller AX, it's still booking a lot of guests and talent. We could see you spending the day there.

Unlike Anime Pasadena, your options for food and parking are much smaller. We suggest just parking at the main lot that has shuttles near the airport.
