I managed to attend Anime USA for the first time in over 4 years, since they moved away from the Crystal City Hyatt to the Wardman Park Marriott in DC.
I didn’t get to see everything, but I did manage to get some photos, so enjoy!
Part of the restaurant was dedicated as a “maid cafe” during the day, and a “butler cafe” in the evening

A very nice thing the actors did, they posed for pictures for the fans, including a group of cosplayers dressed as the characters from “Cowboy Bebop” that the actors provided voices for
The AnimeUSA traditional torii gate, a staple of the convention every year
The highlight of the convention, and the main reason I went, a panel with the voice actors who dubbed the “Cowboy Bebop” anime in English
The main atrium at the hotel was a hot spot for cosplay photography
