Earlier this month was Otakon, which celebrated it's 30th year
of being "The Convention of Otaku Generation". It was also my
first ever time attending! So what better time to talk about
it's history with fellow podcaster and Otakon veteran, Gerald
of Anime World Order! We talk about Otakon's humble beginnings
and history (with some general anime con memories), and what we
thought of the con now that it's ever closer to reaching
"middle-age". So grab a snack and an ice-cold water, and listen
in!
