For most Americans, the fourth of July no doubt brings to mind fireworks, bar-b-ques, national pride, perhaps a day or two off from work, etc.
But for many anime fans around the country, July 4th, and the three days surrounding it, is all about Anime Expo.
I’ll be at the LA Convention Center for all four days of AX, on the look out for some of the best cosplay of the show, so be sure to check back for galleries of days 2, 3, and 4. In the meantime, here are some of my favorite cosplays of day 1!
