#154 - Con-versations: Otakon 2024 feat. Coop and Maddy!
10/07/24 • 181 min
We went to our biggest anime convention yet and what better way to celebrate than having our longest Con-versations episode yet. This time, Austin and Tori review Otakon 2024 which was held in Washington, DC from August 2-4th, 2024. This episode would have been out earlier, but between life stuff and us recording for over three and a half hours, it was a lot to get through. Totally worth it though, if you ask me, due in large part to our very special guests, Coop and Maddy! Coop you may know from their work at Discotek Media, Anime News Network, AnimEigo, J-Novel Club, and their own podcast, Dude, You Remember Macross? and Maddy you may have heard appear on shows like Giant Robot FM and Chatty AF: The Anime Feminist Podcast. Both of them are very cool, kind folks who yapped with us for way too long about an awesome convention weekend.
- 00:00:00 - Introduction and everyone's history with Otakon (or lack-thereof)
- 00:24:40 - Venue talk, including artist's alley and dealer's room
- 00:40:53 - Fan panels, and a tangent about Gundam
- 01:05:58 - Industry panels, with tangents about EGL fashion, gas stations, and more
- 02:08:04 - The Great and the Terrible of autograph sessions
- 02:24:04 - Cosplay talk! And an aside about places to eat around the con
- 02:51:12 - Most iconic moment(s)
- 02:56:41 - Social medias and outro
