Our FIRST AnimeCon! 🎌 Inside AnimeCon Manchester 2026 | Cosplay, Merch & Voice Actors

We attended AnimeCon Manchester 2026 at Manchester Central for the very first time — and it was an incredible experience. 🎌 From the moment we walked through the doors, the convention was packed with amazing cosplay, passionate anime fans, and a huge variety of things to see and do. Throughout the day we explored the convention floor and also spoke to several attendees, conducting mini interviews with cosplayers and anime fans to hear about their favourite characters, costumes, and what AnimeCon means to them. The creativity and effort that goes into these cosplays is genuinely incredible. In this full AnimeCon vlog you'll see: 🎭 Incredible cosplay from across the anime community 🎧 The silent disco experience 🎤 Panels at the Creator Stage 🌟 Community events at the Communities Stage 🍜 Food and catering around the venue ☕ The themed Maid Café (with a photo opportunity!) ✍️ The autograph area featuring anime voice actors 🛍️ The merchandise stalls and shops packed with anime figures, manga, and artwork 🎙️ The Main Stage appearance from voice actors Lex Lang and Sandy Fox One of the highlights of the day was simply seeing the variety of cosplays on display — from classic anime characters to modern favourites, with fans bringing their favourite series to life.
