Otakon (/ˈoʊtəkɒn/ OH-tə-kon) is an annual three day anime convention held during July/August at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland's Inner Harbor district. The convention focuses on East Asian popular culture (primarily anime, manga, music, and cinema) and its fandom. The name is a portmanteau derived from convention and the Japanese word otaku. Otakon is one of the longest-running Anime conventions in the United States and was previously the 2nd largest North American anime convention, until falling to 5th as of 2015.
Otakon announced that an additional new convention would be created in Las Vegas, Nevada starting in 2014. It was announced at Otakon 2013's closing ceremonies that the convention will be moving to Washington, D.C. and the Walter E. Washington Convention Center starting in 2017 and continuing until at least 2021.
As one of the longest running and largest conventions of its type, Otakon offers a very broad range of programming, exhibits, and other events. Typical Otakon programming includes:
Thanks To is a Korean-language EP by South Korean rock band F.T. Island, released on 23 September, 2013 by FNC Entertainment. Several of the songs were composed by the band members.Memory reached first place on Taiwanese Qmusic Chart, while the EP itself was placed first on the G-MUSIC weekly chart, with a 28,84% share among Asian releases. The band first played the songs from Thanks To during their FTHX concerts in Seoul on 28 and 29 September, drawing an audience of 6,000.

Otakon 2016 Vlog || NextFashionDesigner ☾Hey guys! Today, I'll be showing you my Otakon 2016 vlog; I went on Saturday as Juuzou from the auction raid arc in the manga Tokyo Ghoul: Re and as a kawaii x goth kitty on Sunday.

It'll be in Washington DC next year. ☾PLEASE EXCUSE THE SHAKINESS AND WEIRD LIGHTING IN SOME CLIPS; I tried to do my best with stabilizers without it looking too choppy/looks like it will give you motion sickness. I also tried to color correct most of the clips. Hope it looks alright! ALSO, I filmed the Dealer's Room and Artist's Alley on day 2 because it was really hard to film when I was carrying my prop!

From the 2012 Otakon pocket companion: Digital painter TsaoShin (Eric Proctor) will demonstrate how to improve work flow, technique and brush mastery in Adobe Photoshop. This presentation will be in 3 parts. Part one will cover line art based drawings, part two will cover fully rendered digital painting (with influences from traditional mediums), and part three will be a live demo showcasing work flow optimization, brush dynamics and working with a tablet. This panel is for beginner and intermediate artists who have a basic working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop. ------- Due to a technical issue, the projector on the right side of the stage didn't work until around 16 minutes into the presentation. ------- Since the questions asked by audience members are inaudible, I've written them...

Final stretch. Here's the last part of my Otakon adventures this year. Sorry I didn't record much while I was at the con on Sunday. It was crazy busy on Sunday for me between work shift, getting ready to head out and all of the other craziness that comes from leaving the con on the final day. Sorry for anyone I missed who wanted to see me. It was rather hectic at the con, but hopefully I'll see some of you at NYCC and/ or AUSA. Otakon was a lot of fun. Thanks for the awesome time for everyone who hung out with me, and for those I got to see. You were all super fantastic. Up next to upload is my Otakon haul video so please look forward to that. Along with the other things I have planned with some really cool bros. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Squad in this video Jacqu...

Time...its supposed to heal our wounds
Joy...I never knew till I met you
On that summer night in the moonlight
When you were there by my side
Peace...it only comes when I have you
(when I have you)
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
Love is the only thing that I have left
And now I know Im no better than the rest
And I try and I try to win you back
With every line in my heart and mind dream
Of the time when you were by my side
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go, no, no
Never let you go
Never let you go
Oh no, no
Never let you go
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
If you put your arms around me
