Anime Attraction

Voice actors, cosplay junkies and Dance Dance Revolution superstars will converge on the Marriott DTC this weekend for the fifteenth annual Nan Desu Kan, Colorado’s premier anime convention. The three-day event, expected to draw more than 20,000 people, is devoted to the art and actors — whose English voices color familiar Japanese cartoons like Dragon Ball Z and Robotech — of anime, with expert panel discussions, autograph signings, musical performances and convention rooms dedicated to karaoke and live Rock Band competitions.
