As the summer starts to wind down, the beginning of August brings not only hot & humid weather, but also the largest anime convention on the East Coast. As almost 30,000 congoers tried to cool down with some ice cold water (for only $1), Otakon 2016 started up without a hitch this past weekend!

Anime Fan Fest 2016
This past weekend was the start of a brand new anime convention for the tri-state area, Anime Fan Fest!
