This Fourth of July Weekend, we headed to the Los Angeles Convention Center with over 100,000 other Anime fans for Anime Expo! Anime Expo is presented by the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Arts (SPJA), a non profit that inspires the world through Japanese pop culture, art, and music. This convention definitely achieves SPJA's goals! This 4 Day convention was PACKED with things to do. So packed that we couldn't fit everything in one blog post! In this first post, you'll find just a handful of the thousands of awesome cosplays we saw throughout the weekend! Here's our Anime Expo 2019 Cosplay Recap!
Day 1 started early. Everyone gets to the convention center starting hours before it even opens to pick up their badges and get in line. The earlier you are, the better chance you have of buying exclusive merchandise, or being first in line to meet some of your favorite celebrities and industry professionals.

Even the Premiere line for express entry was packed!
