>there really are a fuckton of people and it takes an hour to get in
Compared to line con? Last time I did AX when visiting family I was looking at ~2hrs min. Early bird tickets for non-resident card holders exist IIRC a few friends got it last winter
>hour to get there via packed train and the thing only runs until 4pm so you really have to plan your shit
The monorail runs until midnight so no, not sure where on earth you get 1600 from, there is also a metro station not too far that takes you to any JR line. Shops around to eat and drink at to kill time for the mass of people to disperse.
> rarely saw cosplayers in the main halls.
There is a huge cosplay area outside most go to probably due to crowds get inside. Every time I've been with some friends we've seen cosplayers meeting their favorite artists. Granted it's not as big as the USA, but US isn't the only country on the planet with conventions.

I'd say it's more western, especially US anime cons, have become their own creature. It's more of a party nerd fest for the weekend than exploring and enjoying the source material and possibly those who make it.
