Comiket
For those who dont know, Comiket is the largest comic event held in the world - you will understand why by looking at the following photos.
The term "Comiket" derives from "Comic" + "Market". The "comics" are actually "Doujinshi" - explanation on Doujinshi in the previous coverage.
last time I went to the enterprise booths first and ended up with nothing. This time I went straight for the circles and was able to get *some* of what I wanted ^^;
"Circles" is the term used to refer to the groups selling Doujinshi.
The second circle I went for was Pink Chu Chu. While the press pass gets you straight in, the pass doesn't work on circle queues ^^;
The queues for goods are so long that they spill outside and snake back n forth. What happens is that a block of the queue will be selected to move forward while the rest stay where they are. People moving forward have to put their arm into the air while rubbing their stomach and stomping their left foot.
The queue for Pink Chu Chu was so long that they had a sign to indicate where the middle of the queue was - you usually see these only at the end of the queue.
You will find that the most popular circles are located against the wall. This is probably so that the large amount of people queuing up can do so outside without causing panic on the inside. The queue I was in must have had over a thousand people.
This guy is very well prepped - a battle map with a list of the goodies that he wants. I've seen maps with lines all over them indicating how the person should move around the halls in the shortest possible time.
I ended up waiting an hour for my goodies.
When you are at the event, you will see these signs being held up to indicate where people should line up.
Most people just stand there waiting while some read manga or play on their NDS - didnt see anybody whip out a PSP. They must be playing Doki Doki Majo Shinpan.
You get to look at a load of moe characters on these bags that many people carry around - your head kind of turns and follows the illustration on the bag as you wonder "where did he get that!"
A Pink Chu Chu illustration at the end of the queue asking you to wait until the guy in front has moved on before you approach the till. More on Pink Chu Chu later.
I have never seen so many people at Big Sight before.
One of the reasons why Comiket held in Winter has less people is because the last day is the 31st - many Japanese leave Tokyo to spend the new year with their family.
People everywhere. You need to queue to use the elevators, queue while walking, queue to take a leek, queue to buy a drink.
If you like being surrounded by other sweaty (and in some cases smelly) human folk then you will love comiket. I was bounced left right and center @.@
The whole of Big Sight was used - compare that to Wonfes where only a few halls in the east are used.
"Hitodarake" means "a load of people."
Hitodarake!
Sometimes you may hear the term "hito hito hito!" or "people people people!" - and its usually written or spoken 3 times in a row.
This was what it looked like in the halls - hito hito hito!
Time to go home. A chime rings at 4PM and a few thousand people start to clap at once - its like a scene that you see in a film (kind of).
The next time I'll be back at Big Sight will be in December for the WHF and Comiket - the Plamo Radicon Show and Tokyo Game Show will be held at Makuhari Messe.
The guy in front of me had something to say...
Folks who queued up hours to get in can queue more on the way home - the station was packed.
The queue outside the station snaked back n forth a few times.
At least there is Yoko and her large eyes to look at while waiting to get to the platform.
Dont expect to walk on any esclators on the day of a comiket.
The mechachu girls in their new ero anime - more from the enterprise booths soon.
Nearly forgot to mention that I was joking about the stomach rubbing and foot stamping.

Hitodarake indeed!
Sheesh - ive never, ever seen that many people at big sight! I wouldve thought the Tokyo game show or Wonder fest would have been more popular, but not by a long shot!
Got any pics of the actual show? I needs to see ero ero anime ladies!
Love that pic of everyone walking home with the sun in the BG - Odaiba is a great place - totally in contrast to crowded, built up Tokyo.
By the way - i voted hell. I dont think i could cope with that many people in that heat just to see some drawings of anime ladies... Figures maybe though....

Comiket is one of the few events I'd love to attend, but holy hell is that a lot of 人! @.@ Forgive me if I'm a bit dense in searching, but do they have a list they publish of all the doujinshi that'll be at Comiket, along with where they're located inside the building? Also, what is it that makes certain doujinshi artists more popular than others? Amount of copies? Experience at drawings? Word of mouth? Amount of ero content? ^^;

Hito hito hito. As I expected Genshiken or Lucky Star didn't lie about the crowds and lining up. ;p I know it will be exhausting but still eally like to go there, but I guess it'll have to be next summer... ;p Can't wait to see more coverage.
And I so want that bag too ;p I pretty proud to have my Suzumiya Haruhi bag from last years Entama in Akiba ;p (one of the items in the bag was a shirt of the festival with a little Haruhi logo on the front, I'm wearing it now at work ;p)
I wonder what special stuff Entama has this year.

Only an hour? Wow, I wish I lines were only that long. Also is Tokyo Game Show going to be held late this year around the same time as Comiket? If so that's going to be awesome as I might be able to attend.

Hito Hito Hito indeed!
There were so many more people during natsukomi than in winter. I started queuing from 6am, and only managed to get to row 27 at the east entrance queue... didn't get into Big Sight till 10:15 orz
Then proceeded to spend another 2 hours in the AMR queue...but good fun nonetheless!

What impresses me about Japanese crowds is that they are completely orderly, even though the men with loud hailers seem to be panicking all the time...

Kyoji,
1.Going to toilet is fine - just let the person behind you know. There are a few who do try to skip the queue.
2.If you die then your turn is finished.
3.If you have an influential site then you may be considered as press.

battle plans... its rather confusing...
hmm...if you could get a group it would probably work really well...
how much information do you get to formulate the strategies needed to succeed in Comiket?
it seems people get maps and all but is there a price list?... im wondering what information one would have in order to navigate this place... also umm need more info... and friends and money...well and a plain ticket to japan

Unfortunately I've only been to one anime convention (Anime North), and honestly it's nothing compared to Comiket. Genshiken really did a good job portraying it. I wonder if the third installment of Type-Moon Complex is released.
http://girlg33k.blogspot.com/
So I read that some guy was arrested for threatening to throw a grenade at the people at Comiket? And that they're checking people's bags now? In the same article I read about a guy threatening to use a truck and knife (like in Akiba) to attack singer Nana Mizuki and her fans. What's with all the hate in Japan lately?

Heaven!
I would like to see the Comiket by myself :-D and above all, talk with doujinshi drawers :-|
Do you got the average of the number of visitors there at each comiket? In France, in the biggest con (Japan Expo), there's 120 000 visitors this year (yeah only), but i heard that the entrance price is free at Comiket, right?
Otaku :)
For those who went to the comiket and bought the nanoha and fate dakimakura, can you please give me size of it ? Thanks
Student
holy sh** thats a lot of people

not sure how welcoming people are with sharing their comiket strategies. requires a full....walk through or something XD, and even then many things change with situation and isn't an easy journey from A to B.
this winter comiket being my 3rd, still lots of improvements on strategy can be done, but i'm glad i got the T2 Artwork goods that i wanted many copies of =). anyone interested in buying a goods pack?
wow didn't know Danny would line up for the circles, hope you got what you wanted, whereas i missed out on my 2nd get, by about 10 people. it sold out with around 10 people in front of me =(

aww man, even if it has to be people covered in sweat, I have to endure it!
i mean, it'll be heaven enough for me to actually go to a Comiket and battle my way over to the stall with some Kisaragi Gunma merchandise!
i really wish there was something like that in my area of the world (T_T)

Wow, I sincerely wish that i could go there... but it seems like a forbidden love!
