In the 1990s, Japanese pop culture – in the form of anime and manga – swept the wider world with “Dragon Ball Z” and “Pokemon” leading the way. The ultimate pop culture convention Oz Comic-Con has gathered thousands of superfans dazzled with incredible costumes. All attendees older than 12 were required to provide proof of vaccination to attend the event, held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, where guests were also required to wear masks.
