"Los Angeles' Anime Expo 2025 describes itself as North America's "largest celebration of Japanese pop culture." The 34th such event finished recently, with the four-day spectacular seeing an extraordinary 410,000 people show up, and it even played host to a Sukeban (the Japanse female pro-wrestling league) World Championship Fight. Also, of course, it featured squillions of attendees showing up in some superbly good cosplay."
"Given the anime focus, costumes obviously skewed that way, but gaming still got a look-in. Look, it's not like it's possible to stop at least one Elden Ring outfit getting into the gallery. (The really shocking thing is that there's not a single person sporting an outfit from Marvel Rivals in this latest collection!) That does mean we get some superbly original stuff, including the most stunning Derpy from KPop Demon Hunters."
Anime Expo 2025 in Los Angeles ran for four days as the 34th edition and attracted approximately 410,000 attendees. The event included a Sukeban World Championship professional female wrestling fight as a notable feature. Cosplay dominated the floor, with designs skewing strongly toward anime characters while gaming costumes also appeared. Examples included at least one Elden Ring outfit and a conspicuous absence of Marvel Rivals outfits in the showcased gallery. The K-Pop Demon Hunters character Derpy emerged as a particularly striking and original costume. Photographers highlighted the finest fits and a video of the event is expected to be released.
