Otakon 2011 ... Are you going?

If you are an anime fan, you just need to check out anime conventions!  The people in costumes, the merchandise, the speakers and the whole atmosphere are just amazing and mind blowing.  If you live in the Washington DC metro area or around Baltimore, you are in luck.  One of the biggest anime conventions in the East Coast is going to be in the Baltimore Convention Center from July 29th thru July 31st.  The question is... are you going to Otakon 2011?  Well, in case you are undecided, let me show you pictures from the last Otakon and tell you about my experience.


First, the cosplayers.  They put so much time and effort into their whole outfits and hair!  Check out this happy couple.  I love Tidus and Yuna from Final Fantasy X!

This is the Espada #3. Awesome costume! It's actually a guy! I love when guys dress up as girls. :)

Naruto! I really need to catch up on this series...

Edward chibi version? The greatest part about this one is that he is really short, just like Edward!

I wanted to buy everything there....but I bought mainly t-shirts because I was trying to be practical.  If I have a big shelf, I will definitely start collecting figurines!

There were so much awesome stuff!  Gundam figures, other anime figures, fan art, wall scrolls, key chains, phone charms, swords, costumes, wigs, stuffed animals, handmade kawaii hats and more!! Just look at these pics!

Otakon is not cheap though because is a three day weekend event.  But, it's worth going because it's so big.  I went to Katsucon a few months ago and it was a lot smaller.  So, get your costumes ready and I will see you at Otakon 2011 in a few months!
