Summer is over and school is back in session. For most people, that means the end of convention season. But wait, don’t pack away your Buster Sword and Naruto head bands yet! There is still Another Anime Con (yes, that is the name of the convention). If 2010 is anything like 2009 was, then it is sure to be a good time.

We were tipped off to a great sale happening over at the website for Anime Expo 2011. Anime Expo is a giant anime convention held annually in Los Angeles. In 2011 it will be on July 1 – 4 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

This past Saturday I headed out to Inochicon, a brand new anime convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a friend and fellow con reporter. I had heard about Inochicon courtesy of Geekadelphia, and decided it would be the perfect opportunity to test out my new DSLR camera. After all, anime conventions tend to have a lot of great cosplayers who are more than willing to give a photographer some of their time.

This past weekend I headed out to Inochicon in Philadelphia with my friend Dan from Geekadelphia. He was kind enough to record some great video during the convention, including the entirety of Reni Mimura’s concert. His videos are below. Under them are thumbnails of some of my favorite pictures that I took, along with a link to the entire album on flickr. The full convention report will be posted on Tuesday. For now, enjoy the videos and pictures from the first annual Inochicon!
