This was the first Otakon which I attended all days and got a hotel room. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Getting the chance to see Simon Yam was pretty amazing, really. To say he's a movie celebrity in Hong Kong doesn't do him justice. I spent most of my time wandering around taking pictures. My apologies if you spot your costume or favorite character listed as "and friend" but I don't know EVERY character in EVERY show. :)
This Otakon seemed to go off fairly well as I remember. As with all Otakons, the lines for various events were staggering. This cosplay was definitely the better of the Otakon cosplay events that I saw.
