When: July, 24 - July 26, 2015

Where: Baltimore Convention Center, Baltimore MD USA

What is it: Otakon is a convention for fans of Asian popular culture. It originally began as an event for fans of Japanese animation but has since expanded to include fans of all Asian culture entertainment. Otakon is traditionally held at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland, located about an hour north of Washington, DC. Otakon is the largest and longest-running Japanese animation convention on the East Coast of the United States. Otakorp, Inc. organizes and runs Otakon each year and sells memberships rather than tickets.The convention draws people from all over the world for one weekend to enjoy Asian pop cultural entertainment together.

Review: by The Grand Shuckett Crew

It's that time of year again. It's time to go to Baltimore for Otakon. We could't wait to see the cosplay, visit Dealer's Room, and go to some of our favorite and new panels.
