Check out these cosplay photos from the first ever Anime Riverside! Anime Riverside brought so many incredible cosplayers out to the Riverside Convention Center in California.
Anime Riverside
Anime Riverside is a convention put on by NERDBOT. NERDBOT also hosts Anime Pasadena. This year is the first time Anime Riverside has happened. In Riverside, California, the Downtown area surrounding the Riverside Convention Center was turned into an exciting anime convention space on June 4th and 5th. Outside, there were carnival rides, food trucks, and a concert stage. Inside, the convention offered karaoke, a full artist alley, a variety of voice actor guests, and vendors. This convention also offered a gaming lounge with gaming competitions.
Cosplay Photos
Cosplay, or “costume play,” is a fun way for convention-goers to express themselves, be creative, and make new friends. Cosplay is in no way a requirement for attending the convention. It is optional for all attendees.
You can usually find several fan-organized cosplay meetups throughout the weekend as well as a Cosplay Competition hosted by the convention.
