More than 25,000 dressed-up anime lovers packed the Baltimore Convention Center over the weekend for Otakon 2009, the 10th year the gathering has been held in Baltimore. The event typically draws more visitors to the Convention Center than any other and this year is likely to be no exception, officials said.

Attendees, we loved what you were wearing and, at numbers like that, what you were spending. In the words of our favorite Kwik-E-Mart manager, we can only say a hearty:  ‘Thank-you, come again!’

    What fun! My kids love these photos. For some reason the Tacoma Glass Museum had an anime exhibit last year–it was pretty flat. It’s way more fun to see people exhibiting themselves!

    The Inner Harbor transformed into the River Styx. The mind boggles.
