Panels and Cosplay Meetups
This year, the panels will be held inside the Civic Auditorium.
Panels range from fan-run panels to panels with the cast of various anime. Check out the list of panels here, and make sure to get in line early. Space is limited, and the panel rooms will be cleared after each panel ends.
Cosplay, or “costume play,” meetups are fan-made meetups for cosplayers to get together, take photos, and have a good time. Cosplay is in no way required to attend a convention. Anime Pasadena offers its guests a list of the scheduled meetups happening over the weekend. If you want to attend a meetup or submit a meetup for a specific fandom, then head to their website.
More Exciting Events
Along with the variety of guests, panels, and cosplay meetups, Anime Pasadena 2022 will also be hosting more exciting events.
There will be two cosplay contests. One will be for cosplayers 16 years old and older and will take place on Saturday the 19th. The second cosplay contest is for child cosplayers 15 years old and younger and will happen on Sunday the 20th. If you are interested in the cosplay contests, sign-ups are available at the convention.
