AnimeNYC'25: Cosplay Edition!!!
Anime NYC was a full-on cosplay takeover — with over 148,000 fans packing the Javits Center, the energy was unreal! From jaw-dropping armor builds to perfectly sewn magical girl fits, the creativity on display was next level. We did our best to capture the magic, but honestly, with so much talent flooding the con floor, it’s impossible to catch it all.
Still, every snap we grabbed is a testament to the artistry, dedication, and love of cosplay. Major #shoutout to the novices finding their wings, the veterans holding it down, and the rising stars pushing cosplay to new heights. AnimeNYC proved once again: cosplay isn’t just a hobby, it’s a movement. Respect.
