Of all the events at this year’s Otakon, the American debut of Eminence was undoubtedly the highlight. (We had the whole thing on video, but apparently magnets and DVC tapes don’t play well together). If you didn’t know, Eminence is a new-wave contemporary orchestra who specialize in videogame and anime music, and are responsible for bringing to life the works of great composers such as Otakon’s other esteemed guest, Hitoshi Sakimoto (FFXII, FF Tactics, Odin Sphere, Princess Mononoke, the list goes on for miles).
