OTAKON 2010

About Otakon

Otakon is the convention of the otaku generation: by fans, for fans; and they're back for their 17th year in 2010!

Join thousands of fellow fans as Otak descend on Baltimore to celebrate all anime, manga, and all facets of Asian pop culture!

Ever since 1999, they've taken over a sizable chunk of Baltimore's Inner Harbor for a 3-day festival celebrating the pop culture that's brought us everything from Astroboy to Yu-Gi-Oh, from the Seven Samurai to Spirited Away.

As i was curious on this convention which is done in the US, i browsed through youtube to have a look.. i found some interesting video covering the otakon... the cosplayers really take effort on what they do, thouh they aren't of japanese decend.. so cosplayers, if people were to comment on your obsession, hey, don't bother la ya.. keep at it as long as it keeps you happy, alive and crazy, no matter what age you have crossed.. check out the video and you know what i mean.. oh, they're more videos, but i guess you can look for more yourself.. so, here are some of the clips.. enjoy..
