-Alita Battle Angel did not do good in theaters. Fox Home is trying to salvage that at AX with some random ideas at AX. The best is a mural that seems like you can put yourself in it when taking photos across the street from the convention. Or at least we think that what it means from the press release:

Thursday, July 4 – Sunday, July 7

WHRE:           601 W Pico Blvd.
                        Los Angeles, CA 90015

WHAT:           Across the street from the convention center, artist Cloe Hakakian is painting an amazing manga inspired mural that embodies the essence and humanity of Alita. There will also be an interactive AR component that will surprise and delight fans and passers by alike! There will also be a panel for consumers to put themselves in the mural.
 
-Little Tokyo's Retro Game Camp is gonna be there.

Anime Expo is coming back and so are we! From July 4th to 7th catch Retro Game Camp at Booth #4518 in the South Hall for your favorite import Japanese games, consoles and accessories!#AnimeExpo #AX2019 #RetroGameCamp #Nintendo #Sega #Sony #retrogaming #retrogamer #retrogames pic.twitter.com/kxlMqXlTsG
