When asked about the reasons attending the event, Dustin Yoe of TransMedia Powerhouse said: “Otakon 2018 was an amazing anime convention. The trip would have been worth it just to see the concert - the Distant Worlds philharmonic orchestra playing music from the most famous video game composer Nobuo Uematsu. The cosplay was awesome and there were even advertisements on where the best deals on going out to eat."
