This weekend, Anime California opened up its fledgeling doors to a tune of over 3,000 attendees. This new anime convention, held in the Hyatt Garden Grove became a magnet for all things anime; even being active at all hours of the night.

Here’s a camera dump of all the cosplay pics…I even included convention CEO Jeff Suddarth performing the infamous ALS Ice Bucket Challenge!

So without further ado, here’s your con pics!
