Anime Expo is the biggest US anime convention of the year, and as such, it's also one of the biggest cosplay events of the year. Despite the Los Angeles heat, cosplayers of all kinds travel from near and far to show off their latest creations, from classic shows like Dragon Ball to upcoming games like Code Vein. And there are a lot of cosplayers.
If you couldn't make it to Anime Expo 2018, we have you covered. We have tons of photos of the amazing cosplay at the event, including characters from My Hero Academia, Dragon Ball, One Piece, and more. You can also find many of them on Twitter, Instagram, and other social media to see more cosplay.
Anime Expo also brought news of new shows and games. Be sure to check out our roundups of new anime coming to Netflix and what's coming to Crunchyroll to see what you can watch this year and in 2019. We also have more details about Arc System Works' Kill la Kill game.
If you're looking for new anime to watch right now, see our feature on the best anime to watch on Netflix. For those who want to catch up on last year's big series, try our list of the best anime of 2017.
