Otakon 2011 Cosplay [Gallery]

Otakon 2011 took place from July 29th to July 31st again this year, and as usual, thousands of costumed fans descended upon Baltimore to celebrate all things anime, manga, and Asian pop culture. As we did for SDCC 2011 (Click!), we searched flickr for some of the best CC-Licensed cosplay photography of the event and assembled them in the photo gallery you see below. Enjoy!

2: Wrap yourself in it!
3: ???
4: ART!

As far as I’m concerned, I much prefer the Magic: the Gathering dress we’ve featured a while ago.
