Founded in 1994, Otakon is an annual convention held in the summer months to celebrate Asian pop culture (anime, manga, music, movies, video games, etc.) and its fandom—along with its very own Indie Aisle!
This year, Otakon was held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC and was a wonderful experience filled with the best nerdy, otaku folks around.
