An animated speaker engages the audience during a panel at FAN EXPO, gesturing with enthusiasm. The table in front of them is decorated with various anime and pop culture collectibles, including plush toys and a Funko Pop! figure, while two microphones and a laptop adorned with anime stickers capture the moment.

A group of cosplayers dressed as characters from Genshin Impact poses together at FAN EXPO. Each cosplayer displays their intricate costumes, accessories, and props, capturing the vibrant spirit of the game. They stand in front of a colorful booth, smiling and holding bags with merchandise from the event.
