It's a new year which means it is time for new conventions! This past weekend we went to Anime Los Angeles, known as ALA, for the first convention of the...

Now that everyone is wearing masks for safety, it can be easy to blend in with the crowd. Fun printed masks can be a fun way to show your personality but what if you want your personality to shine even more? With so many comic book, video game, and anime characters out there that wear masks, I thought it would be a great idea to mask a face mask that looks like one of my favorite characters. This tutorial will show you how I did it and at the end I'll even give more examples of characters for costume masks you can make yourself!

This Anime Expo, we were tasked with not only finding the coolest cosplays of the weekend, but also with exploring some of the con's cosplay content. AX prides itself in being a con built for cosplayers so we wanted to highlight all the special things Anime Expo has to offer attending cosplayers. Let's take a look at Anime Expo's Unique Cosplay Experience.

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!

Anime Expo 2018 was a hot one both literally and figuratively! Temperatures this weekend reached over 100 degrees but that didn't stop cosplayers from showing up with their best! Anime Expo is North America's largest Japanese pop culture convention. This weekend we met people who flew in from all over the country to share their love for Anime, Manga, and other aspects of Japanese Otaku, or nerd, culture! You can always tell what Anime is most popular based on what cosplays you see most at AX so we went on the hunt for this year's best anime and cosplay trends!

When many people think of Anime, the first thing that comes to mind is the colorful, strange, and gravity defying hair of the characters. One of the hardest parts of putting together an Anime character's costume is styling the hair., time to style your wig, or money to buy an expensive pre-styled wig, this part can be a nightmare! Luckily with a little bit of time and internet searching, it isn't hard to find an inexpensive wig that can be easily styled into what you need for your character.

Summer is officially here so it's time to have some fun! Con season is in full swing, so if you're in the Los Angeles area, you're bound to find some fun events that allow you to dress up in costume!
