Among the standout cosplays was Ai Hoshino from Oshi no Ko, whose adorable yet determined persona captivated the anime fans in just a handful of episodes.

The terrifying yet fascinating characters from Chainsaw Man made a haunting appearance, leaving spectators in awe of their dedication to bringing these complex characters to life.

The epic world of Attack on Titan captured everyone’s attention as cosplayers brought forth the iconic Eren from the latest season and the monstrous Titans that followed his commands. Although, we’re sure that the strong female leads from Princess Mononoke, Urusei Yatsura, Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners were keeping them in check!

From the world of Spy x Family, cosplayers embodied the charm of the Forger family, making AX a real family trip complete with baby Anya. We wonder if Anya was on a mission to find the giant fluffy Totoro!?

Recently, the anime industry has graced us with a blast from the past, reintroducing old classics through remakes that have been just as popular as the new shows. The timeless characters from Gundam, Yu Gi Oh, Evangelion, Card Captor Sakura, Berserk, and One Piece captured the essence of their respective shows, adding a touch of nostalgia to the convention floor.

Characters from My Hero Academia, Trigun, Gintama, and various other anime series added to the vibrant tapestry of cosplays, showcasing the dedication and talent of fans who poured countless hours into their intricate costumes and attention to detail.

Videogame characters also made their presence during this year’s AX. Last year, many fans of Genshin Impact cosplayed as their favorite character, this year and with the expansion into the Hoyoverse, many more fans explored the franchise cosplaying as their favorite character from the newest Mihoyo installation - Honkai: Star Rail.

But it wasn’t just Anime and video game characters, this year we could see some VTuber cosplays entering the roster, like the famous little shark, Gawr Gura.
