Otakon took place on July 24- 26, 2015 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, MD. The convention of an otaku generation drew in 28,000, an attendance drop from last year’s 30,000 or so attends. Otakon drew in Japanese guests such as Draft King, Oreskaband, Romi Paku, and more. Otakon’s theme this year was Once Upon A Time, there was emphasis on fairy tales and storytelling with a series of panels and badge artwork to reflect it.
This is Scarlet Rhapsody’s third time attending the convention of an otaku generation. As Otakon moves into their second to last year in downtown Baltimore before moving to DC, it is still one of the best run fan run anime conventions in the country.
