Comiket91 Look-back: The winter’s huge event!
Comiket91 Look-back: The winter’s huge event!
Mafuyu(^q^): Hi, our friends. It’s Mafuyu from Otaku Republic!
Happy new year, everyone!
I hope that you will have Otaku Republic and our blog that Saori-senpai, Aoi and I update for this year as well.
Anyway, finishing the formal greeting…
Today, I would like to talk about the report of Comiket as usual.
~Let’s look back the winter’s huge event Comiket 91~
It was about 2 weeks ago, from now… I went to Comiket this year too.
This time, I knew that my favorite manga and anime, Yowamushi Pedal, would sell Comiket-limited goods…
I decided to attend with the very first train leaving from my station.
The time when I arrived is 6:30 in the morning. It was still dark but so many people were lining up at the venue.
This time again, everywhere People! People! People!
http://news.mynavi.jp/
The number of visitors to Comiket91 was
1st day: 170,000
2nd day: 170,000
3rd day: 220,000
and it was 560,000 visitors in total. This is still an event held only 2 times a year.
The Comiket in this summer (Comiket90) got 530,000 visitors, so the number of visitors is increased! Amazing!
Such an exciting Comiket91☆
I can’t introduce all of them, but I want to introduce something typical in Comiket this time!
1. Dash from the first train
Every time in Comiket, you can see “Shihatsu Dash (Dash from the first train)”.
To get Comiket-limited goods, we want to line up even a second earlier than anyone! However, Comiket prohibits us to wait all night.
Therefore, so many Otaku are coming to the nearest station of Comiket, Kokusai Tenjijou station, with the very first train arriving there earliest.
Also, you can’t get relived just because you are on the first train! Otaku people who want to line up earlier than the others, just dash to the venue through the station gate!
This is called “Shihatsu Dash” and is famous enough to be a topic as people are waiting outside of the gate to shoot what it is like.
I only come there with the first train leaving from my nearest station so I have not experienced Shihatsu Dash, but I will try it someday. lol
2. Trucks of mobile carriers
As I introduced this before in ☆Aoi & Mafuyu TIMES Vol.12☆, Comiket has too many people in the small space so people may not be able to have signals on their mobile phones.
To avoid this situation, mobile carriers’ trucks to provide signals are set.
This year’s trucks are like these!
・Kuroko no Basuke (Kuroko's Basketball)
・Natsume Yuujinchou (Natsume's Book of Friends)

Don’t you get excited just watching them?! ☆
Kuroko no Basuke (Kuroko's Basketball) will have a new movie in March so I am already looking forward to it!!!
3. Blood donation
There is a campaign in every winter that if we corporate a blood donation in Comiket, we can get anime posters or something.
What we could get with the campaign of Comiket91 is below! Actually, we could get 5 kinds of posters + 2 kinds of tapestries, so 7 items in total!
It was said that it may be the most luxurious gift ever so far!

I wanted to get a poster of Yowamushi Pedal, so I decided to help for the blood donation!
I can contribute my blood for my favorite one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is what Otaku should be……(Just joking.)

4. Cosplay
When it comes to Comiket of course…Cosplay!
This time too, there were many cosplayers, like cosplay of anime characters and funny cosplay.

There are so many great cosplayers this year too, but my personal number 1 cosplay was the one of needle threader for helping to put thread through the eye of a needle in sewing!

He perfectly imitated it so I was not able to stop laughing! I like the unique idea.
Like this, this winter’s Comiket was so exciting again!
As for me, I was able to buy all the goods that I wanted to buy so the Comiket was very satisfying♥
To Otaku in the whole world! You guys did a great job Comiket91∩*´∇`*∩
