20 Excellent Cosplay From Crunchyroll Expo

Hey y'all! I'm Alyssa from the Crunchyroll Social Team! This was my first Crunchyroll Expo EVER and I was so excited to see what our tight-knit community would pull up in. So, I got some of their fit pics and compiled my favorite ones from the weekend that show off what the Crunchyroll community is really like. 

    Without further ado, let's get these credits ROLLIN'! 

  1. Soma Yukihira - Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma

  This cosplay came with its very own food stall cart AND signature dish - peanut butter squid! This Soma Yukihara was just *chef's kiss*.

  2. Tomie - Junji to Collection

  TOMIE ???????????? #CrunchyrollExpo IG: Stargirleslie pic.twitter.com/iGR4cc8DU3

— Crunchyroll (@Crunchyroll) September 1, 2019

  Tomie is the most independent woman of all horror and you can't tell me otherwise! This Tomie is so otherworldly and expertly crafted that I was legitimately terrified. 

  3. Naofumi Iwatani - The Rising of the Shield Hero

  Naofumi is SO EXCITED for Season 2 and 3 of The Rising of Shield Hero at #CrunchyrollExpo ????????‼️ by: @j_falcon26 pic.twitter.com/ieD6EeikRH

— Crunchyroll Expo (@crunchyrollexpo) September 2, 2019

  We truly have the best fans! The energy from announcing Seasons 2 AND 3 of The Rising of the Shield Hero really got me looking out for the best Naofumi cosplays and, well, here he is! 

  4. Kizuna Ai

  Kizuna Ai-Chan is here at @crunchyrollexpo Day 3 hanging out at@the @nomsdesigns booth 1624! I’ll also be doing a panel at 2:45pm in classroom 3 for @UNIVRSinc #AniVRJapan with @naoyakoji and @tokimekishiken! #crx2019 #crx #crunchyroll pic.twitter.com/DTyODxECLK

— Vivid Vision @CrunchyrollExpo Booth 1624 (@VividVision22) September 1, 2019

  Vivid Vision's Kizuna Ai was so on point with her bubbly features and enthusiasm! Everything was there and just in time for Kizuna Ai's guest appearance at Crunchyroll Expo! 

  5. Edward Elric, Colonel Roy Mustang, Lt. Riza Hawkeye - Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood

  Cool moment at #CrunchyrollExpo during the Fullmetal Alchemist cosplay meetup. I noticed the actual animator for the famous Roy Mustang-Lust battle, who had just done a panel for Mob Psycho 100, came by quietly to take a few photos. pic.twitter.com/ampn0KPtuk

— THRILLHO⊿ @CRX (@azukisenpai17) September 2, 2019

  I love seeing cool moments like this at cosplay gatherings! It's incredible to see the intersections of our favorite anime and be able to live the moment with fellow members of the community!  

  6. Megumin - KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!

  @mushiFox ????‼️ Megumin! pic.twitter.com/7RC2OcSQZy

— Crunchyroll Expo (@crunchyrollexpo) August 31, 2019

  Mushifox's Megumin was super duper cute and she even got Megumin's single move, EXPLOSION! Can't say she was an explosion maniac, but I was pretty obsessed with her cosplay! 

  7. Howl and Turniphead - Howl's Moving Castle 

  SORRY IM A COSPLAYER NOW, MOM @crunchyrollexpo #crunchyrollexpo pic.twitter.com/tFnXR9myDA

— Alyssa “Sandycheeks” (@shenyunofficial) September 1, 2019

  So... I had to include MY OWN cosplay for several reasons. 1) If you don't support yourself then who will? 2) Gotta respect the classics and 3) SOMEONE REALLY SHOWED UP WITH A TURNIP HEAD AND CARRIED IT AROUND ALL DAY and that deserves respect! 

  8. Hatake Kakashi, Hatake Kakashi, Major Alex Louis Armstrong, and Gaara - Naruto Shippuden and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood

  THEY’RE HERE AND THEY’RE REAL @sexykakashi @kakashisecyjutsu pic.twitter.com/S7RncmJ23O

— Crunchyroll Expo (@crunchyrollexpo) August 31, 2019

  I legitimately BLUSHED when I ran into this muscled-up crew! It was just too serendipitous to meet not one, but TWO ripped Kakashi's with Gaara featuring a special cross-over guest, Major Alex Louis Armstrong! 

  9. Himiko Toga, Eiji Kirishima, Fumikage Tokoyami, All Might, Ochaco Uraraka, Katsuki Bakugo, and Denki Kaminari - My Hero Academia

  UA CLASS!!! Assemble! @tahoetsunami @he_kitten_drago @wolfie1937 @otakuforlife @TheIntern001 @toxicbabecosplay pic.twitter.com/Bh3FADwNXY

— Crunchyroll Expo (@crunchyrollexpo) September 1, 2019

  How did they get so much of crew together?? My Hero Academia fans are wildin'. 

  10. Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko Kamado - Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba 

  Slaying demons at #CrunchyrollExpo! pic.twitter.com/vltbccxUYo

— Crunchyroll (@Crunchyroll) August 30, 2019

  Demon Slayer is one of my favorite new anime so this cosplay group really shook me to my core. REALLY? Light-up SWORDS? Leveled up Water Style if you ask me! 

  11. No Face - Spirited Away 

  Landing right into the last day of #CrunchyrollExpo2019 with these No Face cosplays! pic.twitter.com/hZN1Zwkt82

— Crunchyroll Expo (@crunchyrollexpo) September 1, 2019

   You've never seen No Face like this before! Hitting that SPLITS in front of some hot cars! I couldn't even take the heat! Can you?  

  12. Eiji Kirishima, Katsuki Bakugoi, Izuku Midoriya, Shoto Todoroki - My Hero Academia

  PLUS ULTRA MAIDS OF UA!!!@shainamation @chasethegirl @ash_tronauts @prettyboycosplay pic.twitter.com/5eJjonUiJt

— Crunchyroll Expo (@crunchyrollexpo) August 31, 2019

    These maid versions of our best bays from UA were so sweet and creative with their take. Their group dedication to show off PLUS ULTRA cosplay was definitely felt! 

  13. Reigen Arataka - Mob Psycho 100

  MY NECK ISN’T LONG ENOUGH ???? #CRX2019 pic.twitter.com/lA7xmptl7e

— Kelly ???? Onelani (@kellyonelani) August 31, 2019

  Reigen is single handedly my favorite anime character in any series. Just c'mon, he's the Greatest Psychic of the 21st Century and handsome as hell. This cosplayer even posed in the set of the Spirits and Such office that we had set up!  

  14. Akatsuki Member - Naruto Shippuden

  Scariest Akatsuki member out there! ???? @tito_the_ducky pic.twitter.com/Rtn2DT5APS

— Crunchyroll Expo (@crunchyrollexpo) August 31, 2019

  Our prayers have been heard! Now our favorite bad boys of the Naruto franchise can be DUCKS! Quack quack, I'm here to steal the Jinchuriki! 

  15. Rhea - Fire Emblem: Three Houses 

  COSPLAY SPOTTING DAY 2: New Crunchy City citizens at #CrunchyrollExpo pic.twitter.com/IDGmfrSCGc

— Crunchyroll Expo (@crunchyrollexpo) September 1, 2019

  FIRST OF ALL, every GameStop in the Bay Area had Three Houses sold out for the first two weeks it came out and YET,  @tokkitan was able to show up to Crunchyroll Expo in the most exquisite Rhea cosplay possible? Outstanding work!  

  16. Senku Ishigami - Dr. STONE

  Found the best boy in the Stone World @crunchyrollexpo ???????????? pic.twitter.com/oKA38hmTg1

— nicole anderson (@nmanderz) September 1, 2019

  At Crunchyroll Expo, we support SCIENCE! Dr. STONE is one of THE hottest titles of the season so I was stoked to see my science boy get cosplayed so perfectly by @ulysioncosplay! 

  17. Sailor Moon Waitresses - Sailor Moon Crystal

  These pretty guardians are serving more than just looks ???? by: @wingedgear, @lovi.d , @cherryteagirl313 pic.twitter.com/70988aBD6D

— Crunchyroll Expo (@crunchyrollexpo) September 2, 2019

These Sailor Moon cosplays were so fun and playful that I couldn't help but to stare in awe as they SERVED so many looks in one! 

  18. Squidward - Spongebob Squarepants 

  Is this Pablo Picasso??? @HeyVianca pic.twitter.com/HXpU7obVUE

— Crunchyroll Expo (@crunchyrollexpo) September 1, 2019

  This is one of my favorite reaction gifs so naturally, all of my cosplay dreams were realized when I spotted this artiste wandering in their natural habitat, the Artist Alley!   

  19. Master Roshi - Dragon Ball

  Classic Master Roshi... #CrunchyrollExpo pic.twitter.com/De1rewoRXy

— Crunchyroll (@Crunchyroll) September 2, 2019

  Master Roshi being.... classic Master Roshi at the Hime Maid Cafe was truly a big mood that we all needed to see and experience.

  20. Crunchyroll Idol Hime - Crunchyroll

  AND of course, how could I not include our very own, Crunchyroll Hime in her Idol-wear! Crunchyroll Idol Hime blessed the stage and showed off her charisma with her flashy, idol kimono! We just can't get enough of Hime! 

  BONUS ROUND. Crunchyroll Hime - Crunchyroll

  It me! ????✨???? @crystalblisters pic.twitter.com/JjE9YOsWqa

— Crunchyroll Expo (@crunchyrollexpo) September 1, 2019

   I'm really working at a company with the BEST fans and community! So glad that we ALL love Hime! 

  Overall, the cosplay at Crunchyroll Expo 2019 were exquisite, tasteful, and best of all, filled with wholesome, fun moments. These small moments of cosplay just remind me of the feel-y feelings that the community always brings out when we connect and it's an incredible experience! If you weren't able to make it this year to Crunchyroll Expo, I HIGHLY recommend going next year to connect with fellow Crunchyroll and anime fans who really show the best of fandoms.
