This year's Anime Expo hosted some fantastic booths that not only offered exclusive collectibles and chances to win prizes, but also a look at some of the real art used to make anime.

The gallery also had a rotating cast of cosplayers that dressed as characters from the shows on display.The Bandai booth was like walking through a museum of amazing collectibles from One Piece, Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, and more. There was even a huge Tubbs plush and a few gold fish from the mobile game Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector to pose with.Like the Bandai booth, the Bluefin booth was an impressive museum of collectibles.
