Yeah, Otakon was AMAZING this year. So amazing, I basically collapsed Monday night when all was said and done from sheer exhaustion. Hence the slight delay in getting this out to you guys. Trust me though, it's worth the wait.

This year, our Otakon coverage is in two parts. In this episode, we have not one, but two celebrity chats. The first is a one-on-one interview with the one and only Tony Oliver. We chat about what's up with his PR documentary, what it was like to hang out with the fandom at Otakon, and what's up with all those Garo rumors.

Then we have some audio from a press conference with EPIC Japanese band JAM Project. Where would you know them from? Lots of places. They made Otakon their US stop on the World Flight 2008 No Border Tour as they rocked 1st Mariner Arena to its core with hot-blooded awesomeness.

Part II is coming soon, complete with the banter of the weekend, a discussion of what happened, and Mazinger Z on ukelele.

And pics? We haz them. Special shoutout to Dan Park, for using his super-special contest-prize third row seat to get us some awesome JAM photos at the concert.

Oh, and notice the donation counter over there? Yeah, you guys are AWESOME. And remember what I said about prizes? Here's what I've got:
PRJF Animalized Red Ranger figure
PROO re-released Mighty Morphin' Red Ranger
Kamen Rider Den-O combo (one Kintaros figure, one Narikiri Set with the belt, DenGasher, a Rider Pass, and a sticker)
