Fanime 2014 Recap

About a week or so ago we had the pleasure of attending Northern California's largest anime convention, Fanime. Imagine a gathering of thousands of people that are dressed up as different anime, video game, and cartoon characters in one place. Yup. That was Fanime. There was even a 24 hour game hall that was open all night to whomever with a pass. If you're a fan of otaku culture, without a doubt this was THE PLACE TO BE.

Shoutout to Skeetolifer for the awesome pics. He's DABESS.
