I managed to attend Anime USA for the first time in over 4 years, since they moved away from the Crystal City Hyatt to the Wardman Park Marriott in DC.
I didn’t get to see everything, but I did manage to get some photos, so enjoy!

Cosplayers just seem to get younger every year
The convention had many levels of activity
Cosplayers and photographers in the main lobby
The highlight of the convention, and the main reason I went, a panel with the voice actors who dubbed the “Cowboy Bebop” anime in English
The AnimeUSA traditional torii gate, a staple of the convention every year
