A final pair of #cosplay photos from Saturday at #AnimeLA18 - the black-plugsuit Ayanami from the Rebuild of #evangelion movies. Specifically, movie 4, since she's wearning her farming equpiment ove rthe plugsuit: sleeve covers, a straw hat, and a cloth holding the the hat in place. The small plushie version of herself is a nice touch

On my way out of the front of the exhibit hall area of #AnimeLA18 I found this #StevenUniverse group. I've watched maybe 5 episodes, so I'm guessing that these characters are (from left): Lapis Lazuli, Pearl, White Diamond, Spinel, and Pink Diamond

Here's a funny thing about my #cosplay photography habits: if I see a whole bunch of cosplayers for a given show at an event, I'm actually less likely to get pictures of any of them - they seem too ubiquitous to stand out. That's why I got almost no #ChainsawMan cosplay photos at #AnimeLA18. I almost didn't get this photo of Makima holding a Pochita plushie, until I saw something very unusual and did a double-take. Can you figure out what it was? Answer in the next post

At the back end of the #AnimeLA18 exhibit hall I found a group of #KimetsuNoYaiba cosplayers - specifically, a whole group of demons. In the back row starting from the left we have Daki the oiran, then Muzan himself, followed by "Mother" of the spider demon family (the one who peacefully accepted her death in the end), then Kyogai the Drum Demon. In the front row is Akaza the martial artist on the left and Enmu the hypnosis/dream demon on the right

Now in the area between the Dealers and Artist Alley in the #AnimeLA18 exhibit hall, we have a couple of #Trigun cosplayers. On the left we have a classic (i.e. late 90s anime) Vash the Stampede, complete with the giant red jacket, super-spikey blond hair, and oversize pistol. On the right we have the priest/killer Wolfwood toting a relatively small version of his signature cross ("relatively small" meaning it isn't as taller than he is)

Also seen at #AnimeLA18 in the Artist Alley: #KiryuCoco, formerly of #hololive. This cosplayer made sure to pose in character by flipping off the camera

The Scooby gang at #AnimeLA18. No Scooby himself, though - he must be scoping out the food trucks. Left to right in the back row we have Daphne, Shaggy, Velma, and Fred. Front row features two ordinary con goers on the right and an unmasked Spider-Man on the left, so I’m assuming he was the spook for this episode and got caught in one of Fred’s traps

At the south edge of the #AnimeLA18 Artist Alley there was a display section for itasha (“painful cars” if I remember the etymology). Here we have a #SPYxFAMILY cosplay group in front of the Spy x Family car: Loid Forger in his green suit on the left, Yoru Forger to his side, wearing an Anya Forger hand puppet between the two. To the right is the car (focused on large decals of Yoru), shown with additional detail from side and front in the other two photos

#AnimeLA18 at the back edge of the Artist Alley area: Rei Ayanami from #Evangelion in her iconic white plugsuit. Rei is pretty similar between the TV series and the Rebuild movies, at least early on, so I don’t know if there’s any way to distinguish which instance of Eva this cosplay is modeled after. Heck, maybe the manga by series co-creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto
