Otakon, if you didn’t know, is a gathering of Anime fans down in Baltimore.

While I wouldn’t say I’m an “anime fan” or fanatic of any sort I’ve been known to appreciate the full length animated feature, usually Japanese, on occasion. On more occasions than a full length non-animated feature, in fact.

Which is what led me to Otakon. That and ttilley calling me up and yelling “Otakon!!! Wooo!” with such enthusiasm that I couldn’t say no.

The convention itself is a blast to wander around, with people dressed in all kinds of costumes. Dealers of both art and goods are present, though not in the quantities that I gather are at Japanese conventions of this type.

Overall the character of the show is an amalgamation of “things to do” and “people to do them with” that works out pretty well.

And I’ve got some pictures for you all, only not right now. And some witty editorial. Once again, not right now.

In the meantime I’m sure they’ll have something for you to peruse on the Otakon website.
