What's up?? I'm back! I had a lot of tests, so I cannot publish before.
Today its the turn of the
ANIME
CONVENTIONS!!
Ok, I've never been in a anime convention. That's why I'm so thrilled! ^^
The anime conventions have a mainly focus on anime, manga and Japanese culture. These are multi-day events hosted at convention centers, hotels or college campuses.
One of the most famous anime convention is the Jump Festa, in Tokyo, obviously.
It's sponsored by Sueisha Publishing & Co. The last Jump Festa was a super event with hundreds of people talking, seeing and promoting Manga, anime, videogames, merchandising etc etc :D
Giant figures from manga and animes
Cosplays of your favourite characters
Fantastic panels, where they sell magazines(The Jump magazine, of course xD)
Cosplayers
Little-kawaii magazines and chibis of your favourite mangas! ^_^
This is in Japan, where all it's perfect. But in other countries are anime conventions too! in Spain we have the "Salón del manga de Barcelona" in Bcn, and Japan Weekend and Expomanga in Madrid.
Salón del Manga( in BCN) is the most important in Spain, with cosplay, merchandising, panels, manga talks,...
Expomanga (Madrid) it's more....spanish xD. But it's cool too, a lot of cosplayers, new manga in spanish, and talks like "Japan Trends"
I want to go to the next Expomanga!
I hope these help. C:
