We put together a photo Cosplay gallery from Day One of Anime Expo. Anime Expo (AX) is the largest celebration of Japanese pop culture in North America! Join us in downtown LA on July 4-7, 2019, plus Pre-Show Night on July 3! Anime Expo encourages cosplay at their conventions and even states on their website that cosplay gatherings are a great chance to meet people from the same fandom and take some amazing photos together. All of the Cosplay Gatherings at AX are organized by attendees, primarily on the Anime Expo forum on Cosplay.com. They even have nine approved cosplay gathering locations for attendees to get together.
The term cosplay is a play on the words “Costume” and “Play”. It is a popular form of expression at most comic book conventions. Attendees dress up as their favorite characters from pop culture and attend the conventions in full dress up. Cosplay can consist of simple themed outfits, Halloween costumes, or elaborate homemade feats of ingenuity.
Check out our cosplay gallery from Day One of Anime Expo 2019!
