Animazement '98
Coming soon
Otakon '98
This summer, 5 members of DukAnime attended Otakon '98, the largest anime convention on the east coast. The 3-day drama of waiting in lines, watching mind-numbing hours of anime, and impoverishment-via-dealer-rooms will not be documented here, but possibly in some of the attendee's homepages. What you will find here are the highlights of the few meager photos these 5 Otakus were able to obtain during their trip. We hope you enjoy them.
Hsien, Charles and James
Xin, James and Charles (in line for the costume play)
Oh, what an Otaku will endure to see other Otakus dressed up like anime characters (a small fraction of the massive line for the costume play)
A witch from Maho Tsukai Tai
Two Asuka's and a mass production model Evangelion
Characters from both Evangelion and Patlabor (Cos Play)
Ranma and panda (Cos Play)
Well, not exactly anime, but a cool Resident Evil 2 sketch (Cos Play)
More to come! (Er, hopefully)
Otakon '98 Memorabilia:
Everyone who attended the con was required to choose one of 12 badge designs, and wear their badge around their necks on a chain for the entire weekend. Due to Otakon's massive overproduction of badges, they were given away free on the last day of the convention...so here they are! Each badge was two-sided, and they are paired accordingly below.
Here is a picture of the Otakon '98 Program cover:
