It could be 2024, however we haven’t forgotten about 2023’s Anime NYC, the three-day anime conference that takes place in the identical hallowed halls as New York Comedian Con. Anime NYC 2023 happened in mid-November, and drew 60,000 individuals to the Javits Middle on the west aspect of Manhattan. As you may count on, most of the cosplays featured listed here are from fashionable manga and anime sequence like One Piece, Assault on Titan, Sailor Moon, and extra—however that’s not all that was on show final yr.
I admittedly know little or no about anime, however I do know cosplay once I see one, and all the ones listed here are jaw-droppingly beautiful, meticulously designed, and simply plain spectacular. It was a complete pleasure scrolling by these and seeing how a lot enjoyable everyone seems to be having, even when I do know nothing about Yuffy or Luffy or no matter.
We’ve gathered our favourite cosplays from Anime NYC 2023, dropped at you by Mineralblu, the cosplay photographer who has given us some unbelievable collections to pore over in the previous couple of years, together with one of the best appears from 2023’s NYCC.
