the otaku bunka in the U.S.

You think that Japan is only the major country that filled with nerds aka otakus... you are wrong!! America also have a high rate of cosplayers, unlike the comic conventions over here, in the U.S. otakus are having fun getting to know Japanese pop culture like AKB48, meeting dub voice actors and Japanese voice actors, cosplaying as their favorite chacter from any TV show, buying merchandise like actual swords from the anime, Japanese candy like pocky, stuff animals, and much more. I was actually really surprised at the convention that I went with my friend, the people cosplaying would make their costume with stuff you never imagine like halloween.
