Our cosplay coverage of ACEN is nearly over, but before we conclude it, I’ve got one last post for you. Make sure you check out our other cosplay posts for ACEN with Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6.
Did you have a favorite cosplay from ACEN, either one you saw here or one we didn’t get a photo of? Let us know what it was!
Saturday was a big day for cosplay at ACEN, and it seemed like there were even more cosplayers walking around than the previous day. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of all the great cosplays on display.
I even ran into Jedimanda in her Queen Amidala cosplay, which she won Best Masters in the Masquerade competition later that evening.
You can see Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and Part 7 of our previous ACEN cosplay coverage.
Friday may have been only the first day of ACEN, but cosplayers were still out in full-force. Everywhere you looked attendees were dressed as their favorite characters. There were so many that you were constantly seeing new cosplays regardless of whether you wandered around or stayed mainly in one place.

After hearing about the fun of ACEN from my friends for years, I finally had the chance to attend and I can definitely say that it did not disappoint!
With this being a 24-hour convention, there was always something going on, even well before or after the vendor floor was closed. Due to my schedule I was only able to attend Friday and Saturday during normal con hours, but even then there was so much going on that you would be hard-pressed to be in want of something to do. If you didn’t want to walk around the vendors, there were lots of panels and screenings, cosplay photoshoots and meetups, and just hanging out with other cosplayers. If you didn’t want to be in the convention center, many attendees would hang out in the attached host hotel.
Even though ACEN is mainly an anime con, there were still plenty of attendees walking around in non-anime cosplays (myself included). There also seemed to be a higher number of attendees in cosplay compared to a lot of the comic cons I have attended. Regardless of what type of cosplay they wore, everyone seemed to be bringing out their best cosplays and looked absolutely fantastic and were more than happy to pose for photos when asked.
Here is the first half of my cosplay photos from Friday of ACEN. You can find Part 1 of our ACEN cosplay coverage by our very own Reptile here as well as fellow writer and ACEN attendee April’s Part 3 article here! We also added Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, and Part 7!
Be sure to stay tuned for even more ACEN coverage from PopCultHQ!
ACEN (Anime Central) was a fun-filled event with 24 hours cosplay, panels and events. The vendor floor had lots of room to move around and everyone seemed to have a great time.
You might have seen me around. On Friday, I did a mashup medieval-kilted Deadshot and Saturday I was Master Roshi, but I wore my suit so I could impress the ladies. Even in a suit, I found a lot of slacking trainees that I put through their paces.
If you didn’t seem me on Saturday then you might have seen the newest recruit to the Kame House, young Groot.
