Comiket (Tokyo, December 08)

MistressPookyChan · 08-26-2008, 06:13 AM

I totally forgot to make an announcement for the summer comiket. Then again, I didn't know I would go until a day or two before...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comiket

Comiket is a HUGH comic convention that features dōjinshi artists. It lasts for 3 days, the next one being December 28-30. My friend goes with a group of people and they help each other get the limited goods. Very organized, but geekishly cool, bunch of people. I just tag along.

If anyone is planning on coming over for it, let me know and we can get together!

I totally want to go!!

But it's a bit far in the future, so I don't know if I can make it yet. But if I can, can I tag along?

of course! I tag along with my friend and his group. Pretty much all that means is that I have a table to sit at when I get tired and people to chat to if I'm bored. This con is like none I have ever been to. Definitely an experience.

Found some vids on youtube:

+ "crowds" via YouTube

This is only HALF of the convention hall.

Just type "comiket" to get more. And check out Lucky Star #12, when the characters go to comiket. I used it for my husband's "training" before we went.

Good lord!! O_O I've never see so many people in a single youtube video, let alone a convention hall. Makes me want to cling to my little dallas conventions. XD;;

LOL!!!

I went to the Tokyo International Anime Fair in April, so I think I know what to expect...

Crowds, claustrophobia, danger of suffocation... Don't we love our anime conventions?

Hey, at least it won't be hot.

MistressPookyChan · 09-14-2008, 08:33 AM

well, the convention hall can be a little hot. otaku always seem to have a bit of a stink.
