A few members of our Collective team attended Anime Los Angeles 2017 this past weekend (which is actually in Ontario…go figure). If you’ve ever been on our blog, then you know that we love all aspects of cosplay, and are always eager to meet new cosplayers. We attended the convention in cosplay on Saturday and Sunday, and I took my handy Canon along for the ride in order to capture some of the best costumes out there. If you see yourself or someone you know in the gallery below, please contact us!

We even made it to a panel that focused solely on cosplaying on a budget. Run by @simbakun and @rockyrants_cosplay, we got great tips on how to create amazing costumes without spending all your savings. All it takes is some planning, hunting, and creativity.

Stay tuned for more updates from ALA 2017. See you at Long Beach Comic Expo!
