Picture Story: Costume creators at San Diego Anime Con
Cosplayers took center stage November 21-23 at the Handlery Hotel
Presented by Silk Road Productions, the creators and producers of Fangaea Con and AnimeLand, San Diego Anime Con took place November 21-23 at the Handlery Hotel in Mission Valley. Councilmember Stephen Whitburn of San Diego District 3 even proclaimed November 22, 2025 to be San Diego Anime Con Day in the city of San Diego.
The event included panels focused specifically on topics of interest directly related to and focused on anime, a style of animation originating from Japan, characterized by colorful graphics, energetic characters, and action-oriented plots, often with futuristic or fantasy themes.
While the word "anime" in Japan refers to all animation, in English it specifically refers to this distinct Japanese style, which can include a wide range of genres from action and sci-fi to slice-of-life dramas. Key characteristics often include distinctive character designs with large, emotive eyes.
Anime Con included anime art creations from local artists, clothing and merch vendors, a Cosplay & Masquerade Contest, video and tabletop gaming, a Parfait Party Maid Cafe, and live anime-focused entertainment.
As always, cosplayers were well represented, with these photos capturing some of the most creative efforts.
The next edition of San Diego Anime Con happens November 13, 14, and 15, 2026 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel.
