After canceling their 2020 convention and going virtual in 2021, Anime Expo will return to Los Angeles as a live event in 2022. Following two years of setbacks due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, Anime Expo has announced that the convention will return as a live, in-person event in 2022.

“Can kids cosplay?” A resounding YES. Children can cosplay and even do a good bit of the work that is involved in creating costumes and characters. Kids tend to be creative and take more risks and chances that result in amazing creations.
On average, cosplayers wear their first costume to a convention at age 21. However, there is no age limit for cosplay. People of all ages are welcome to dress as their favorite characters.
COSPLAY IS AN ALL-AGES EVENT. There will have one competition for children 13 and under and then a contest for anyone else entered. The Cosplay choice should be considered a PG-13 rated event at the most.
By attending one of our incredible anime events held annually in Chicago, you can experience the love and joy of the anime fandom! We put on some of the most amazing conventions in the world, and the people attending are so passionate about anime and games that well over 50% of our attendees on average will cosplay throughout the weekend. These conventions give you the opportunity to shop from some dozens, even hundreds, of different exhibitors selling all kinds of anime swag. Many people come to the convention just to shop in the dealers room or artist alley for hours.
We proudly organize Anime Midwest, the second anime convention to come to Chicago. Anime Midwest brings together several thousand fans each year for a celebration of Japanese arts, culture, and entertainment. Fans dress up in costumes, participate in tons of events, and have fun.
