Nan Desu Kan 2014 Arrives

Written by John Edward Betancourt

When it comes to the rich convention world that now exists in the lovely state of Colorado, we can now sync our favorite cons to the time of year.  We know what to expect in the spring, we know where our hard earned money will go in the summer and of course, when it comes to the fall...we know that the Denver Marriott DTC will fill to the brim with Anime fans of all ages when Nan Desu Kan arrives.  

Well, that time has come again.  Summer has said goodbye to all of us, the leaves have begun to change and our fall tradition of celebrating the wonder of Anime has come upon us at last as NDK kicks off today.  Yes, the wait is over.  Now is the time to dust off those incredible Anime cosplays and head down to a convention that is always so extremely popular.  If you have not had the chance to attend NDK before, well you are in for a treat.  

There are few conventions that draw out fans in droves like this one does.  In fact NDK never fails to impress with its crowds. Each year that I've had the honor of covering this con has been quite the treat since I'm always amazed at the lines that seem to never end.  In fact I have actually witnessed lines that manage to span the entire hotel because that's just how amazing and popular this convention is, and it just goes to show how rich and incredible the programming is for a convention like this.  I mean, if people are waiting in a line like that with smiles on their faces, you just know in your heart that their destination is going to be a good one.  

These fans are dying to celebrate their love of Anime and it makes for one fun weekend.  The festivities for this year's event begin at five p.m. with opening ceremonies and panels galore before the J-Pop dance concludes the evening at ten p.m. so if you've never been to NDK, I would say today's the day to give it a look.  

Whether you're a fan of Anime or not, this is a great convention to attend regardless.  It's filled to the brim with good people, good times and I know we at Girls of Geek are in for one incredible weekend and we look forward to seeing you there!
