PPN Studio had the chance to checkout the SacAnime Summer 2024 event over the Labor day weekend, August 30 through Sept 1, 204, and let me tell you.. It was crowded! Over 33,000 people attended the con and most of them were all there on Saturday.
We cruised the various sections and stages offered and while weren’t allowed to photograph the special guests or any of the live events, we did grab some shots of the general convention, exhibitor floor, and the crowds. Here is what we have.
The Cosplay was Fantastic
Now we move on to the the very popular cosplayers. There were 1000’s of them ranging from minimally dressed up to full on anime-perfect costumes and more. While we unable to photo the contests and other events for cosplayers, we did manage to grab some shots of quite a few of them as they walked around the convention. I just wish we had more time to set up for better shots and do justice to these fine folk in there awesome costumes. But it’s a con and it was packed, so this is what we have for ya.
There were so many more cosplayers than I could even try to photograph, and every single one of them were having a great time at the show. Here’s a few more.
