Anime USA returned for another year at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, DC, from December 8-10, 2017. The show featured numerous events, panels, screeners, performances and much more. Adding to that was the expansive dealer’s room, artist’s alley, and gaming areas.

Of course, there was also plenty of cosplay to be seen throughout the weekend. Many cosplayers took advantage of the con’s proximity to the holidays for some appropriately-themed twists on costumes.
