This past weekend, AnimeNYC took over the Javits Center in Midtown Manhattan for three days of fun and celebration of Japanese pop culture. Here are some of the fantastic AnimeNYC cosplay we saw this weekend.
Held from November 17-19, AnimeNYC is in its sixth year and boasts an impressive roster of entertainment guests, big name exhibitors, and a full lineup of artists for the Artist’s Alley. There is even a food hall where attendees can try authentic Japanese food, such as bao, ramen, and takoyaki.
Recently, AnimeNYC announced that the convention will be moved from November to August. Whereas the convention has only utilized the first floor of the Javits Center for the past six years, it will expand to take over the entire convention center in August 2024.
Cosplay has grown in popularity over the years. Cosplayers draw inspiration from their anime, movies, televisions shows, comics, video games, or other sources of pop culture, and represent their favorite characters through costumes. As with all anime conventions, cosplayers turned out in full force in Manhattan for all three days of AnimeNYC.
Some of the most popular anime/manga represented by cosplayers this year at AnimeNYC was Chainsaw Man and Bungo Stray Dogs.
Other popular anime, including Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, and more were equally represented at this year’s convention.
The Jujutsu Kaisen cosplay meetup, hosted by Temple of Geek, drew over a hundred cosplayers.
