Qualification:

I have never been to such festivals, but recently I wanted to try. Do you have any advice and stuff?

Second question: If anyone knows how to get to niche festivals about anime or anime games, I will be happy if you share your ideas, what I should do to get there, etc

    Never went to the big cons but I recently went to a small local anime market. Went with a friend who goes to a bunch of those events and had a lot of fun!

    Some tips if you go

    • Bring water. It gets hot in there and I couldn’t find any vending machines so I was dehydrated
    • Eat first. The venue had two food places and both were super crowded. Was like a 30 min wait for mall food court food
    • Be prepared for the smells. The stereotypes are true. Some people smelled so bad there. I wore a mask but I could still smell some people
    • Go with a friend. It was a lot of fun and way less intimidating
    • Start small. Same as going with a friend. Less intimidating and more doable.
