Anime Attraction

A A A Comments By Bree Davies Thursday, Sep 8 2011

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.

There will also be dozens of seminars, including “A Geek’s Guide to Social Interaction” and a crash course in Gothic Lolita dress and play.

Nan Desu Kan kicks off today at 5 p.m. at the Marriott DTC, 4900 Syracuse Street, and runs through Sunday night at 6 p.m. Tickets are $30 to $50 and can be purchased at the door. All ages are welcome, and guests are encouraged to dress as their favorite anime character. For more information, visit www.ndk.com.
