On day two of New York Comic Con 2026, anime got a lot of love from cosplayers. We saw three different characters from Chainsaw Man (Reze, Makima, and Denji), plus a super impressive Deku from My Hero Academia. And, of course, we need to give a special shout-out to the person in full-body makeup cosplaying as Jake Sully from Avatar. Take a look at the best cosplay we saw yesterday.
