July 4th’s over, and that means only one thing: it’s finally time for Anime Expo 2018, the biggest anime event of the year. Day one of the massive convention kicked off yesterday, and it certainly didn’t disappoint.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of booths lined the exhibition hall, with heavyweights like Aniplex, Crunchyroll, Square Enix, Fate\/Grand Order VR, and Blizzard Entertainment all\u00a0showcasing their new products and merchandise. Whether it’s custom designed clothing, plush toys, collectible cards, or action figurines, Anime Expo simply has everything a die-hard anime fan would want.<\/p>\n

Not only that, special events like the AX 2018 Fashion Show<\/em>, “OTAQUEST LIVE”<\/em>\u00a0Concert, Cosplay Deviants<\/em> and\u00a0Anisong World Matsuri<\/em> added to the hype, giving expo attendees one-of-a-kind experiences they’ll never forget.\u00a0AX 2018’s Cosplay Senpai is also a major event, starring handpicked Cosplayers who’ve made significant impacts in the community to answer questions and give advice through panels and discussions.<\/p>\n

Speaking of cosplay, cosplay this year was extravagant as ever, with fan-favorite costumes like Naruto, Luffy from One Piece<\/em>, and Serena from Sailor Moon<\/em> seen throughout the convention. Here are some of the other costumes we captured.<\/p>\n

Aside from some of the signature Syber L and Syber XL cases on display at our booth, the main attractions were the four custom anime-themed cases on display. And while they were still each packed with hardware, these vinyl-wrapped cases showcased some of the hottest anime designs around, including My Hero Academia<\/em>, Darling in the Franxx<\/em>, Tokyo Ghoul<\/em>, and Food Wars<\/em>.
