Otakon 2014

Otakon 2014Phew, what a weekend! Following my previous post, we’re going to look at some more of the wonderful cosplay seen at Otakon. Since this was my first year attending this convention it was a total sensory overload between all the cosplayers, happenings, and excitement that was otakon. Still, I tried to take as many pictures as I could so that I could share them with everyone!

Otakon 2014Before we even get into the cosplay pics, I have to say that the sheer amount of people at the con was incredible. The lines were absolutely insane, with so many things getting capped off due to the amount of people that would show up to them. While the lines can be a bit of a pain, all these people in one place really make the con feel like it’s always full of energy!

Otakon 2014 LineWhen I arrived Thursday night I hopped on the line, which was probably one of the longest queues I’ve ever seen. It wrapped around the building so many times it was hard to even follow where the line stopped and started. In total I waited three hours on line before I got my badge. Crazy!

As always I love to credit cosplayers, so if you see yourself please let me know so I can link up to your cosplay page, site, or whatever! If you want a high resolution photo for your cosplay page or whatever, you can always email me at nyotakublog@gmail.com and I can send them to you! Cosplayers are free to use photos for personal use, but please don’t claim that your the photographer 🙂

Hope you enjoyed looking at the photos! Otakon was a crazy fun experience, hope to see you all again next year!!
