It's back!

Thousands of people are descending on the Javits Convention Center in Manhattan dressed as their favorite television, film, comic, video game costumes, and more for New York Comic Con.

Some of the fans are dedicated cosplayers, visiting all Comic Con and anime conventions, and spending all their time and money on handmade costumes.

Last year we met Jenni Hashimoto, a 25-year-old cosplayer living in New York. She and her friends were dressed as characters of 'Cowboy Bebop' for the day, and between their Comic Con commitments they did a photoshoot recreating some of their favorite scenes from the show. 

Produced by Alana Kakoyiannis and Kamelia Angelova.
