At the core of Otakon, there’s sound. In this episode of R5 Central, we take a look at the musical side of Otakon. Complete with a feature with the up and coming band, Geist, the AAA Press Conference, and Mike trying to learn how to rock turntables…Saving the best for last, aren’t we?

This Week:
Friday Night at Otakon, there was gathering made of such sheer awesomeness that it made people’s eyes explode and caused people to be caught in a Kazuo Koike-ish dream like trance. Yes I’m referring to the Podcaster’s Roundtable featuring Erin and Noah from Ninja Consultants, Gerald from Anime World Order, Rym and Scott from GeekNights, Dave and Joel from Fast Karate for the Gentleman, Tyler from Rangercast-*takes breath* and yours truly.

Phew! And just in time for the forthcoming second anniversary of R5 Central. Take care!

Thanks to fate, the promptings of Tyler from Rangercast and the chance to meet Ryuhei Kitamura, Mike travels to Baltimore to attend Otakon 2007. In this installment, an Industry News Recap, an interview with famed seiyuu Tomokazu Seki and a glimpse into the madness that was the Otakon Gundam Panel.

AND!

Mike takes the plunge and travels to Baltimore for Otakon 2007. There he meets Gerald from AWO, Erin and Noah from Ninja Consultants, snags interviews with Tomokazu Seki and AAA and stands in the same elevator with Ryuhei Kitamura.

Will “Team Justice” have a happy ending? Will Mike survive the trip back to Milwaukee? Is happiness possible without sacrifice? Did anybody catch that Giant Robo reference just now aside from Daryl Surat? Find out for yourself in the final episode of the Epic ACEN Trilogy!!
