The hardcore anime cosplayers of Nan Desu Kan wandered the hallways of the Sheraton Downtown Denver over Labor Day weekend, sporting elaborate costumes that take months to create. At the fan convention's twentieth annual run, the otaku crowd frequented screenings, panels, parties, a game room and more. All photos by Danielle Lirette.
