Katsucon is an anime convention that took place on February 15 - 17, 2013 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, MD. This con is in their 19th year and attracts otaku from all over the eastern seaboard. Katsucon is known for being a 24 hour convention and most of all, a cosplayer's photoshoot paradise. The Gaylord has plenty of spaces for perfect photo ops. Other than that, Katsucon also has an A-list line up of American voice actors and a variety of programming.
The report theme is based on Roger and Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song. Katsucon took place on Lunar New Year and flowers are the main theme of Heart Catch Pretty Cure. This is our first time covering Katsucon. You can listen to our episode of Zero Hour episode on Katsucon here.
