Anime Expo Cosplayers Turned Out Some Amazing Looks for 2023

Anime Expo cosplayers always understand the assignment.

After making a post-pandemic comeback last year, Anime Expo made yet another return to the Los Angeles Convention Center, and folks from all over the world came together over the long, Fourth of July weekend to celebrate all things anime!

While some of the annual convention's biggest draws include exclusive merchandise from big-name anime studios, panels, premieres, and a well-stocked artist's alley, one of the main reasons people attend AX is to show off their cosplay looks — and the folks this year didn't disappoint.

It's the middle of summer right now, and AX cosplayers definitely brought the heat for 2023.
