Anime Expo (AX) stands out as the largest anime convention in North America. The convention takes place annually in Los Angeles, California, to celebrate Japanese pop culture with fans, professionals, and creators! This year, the convention ran from Thursday, July 3rd, to Sunday, the 6th, attracting incredible cosplayers from around the world. Throughout the weekend, fans organized meetups for their favorite fandoms, providing a gathering space for cosplayers.

Cosplay trends flourish across social media platforms. Cosplay is a fun way to show love for their favorite characters. These characters can be from anime, movies, TV shows, comics, video games, and other pop culture sources. Cosplayers create amazing costumes that allow them to embody their favorite characters and express their creativity.

Riot Games hosted a League of Legends meet-up for cosplayers, but due to some changes in location, the meet-up got split into two. However, the cosplays we saw were amazing!
