It was crowded, but neat and orderly. Unlike many cons outside of Japan which celebrates anime and its fans with shows and attractions, Comiket is solely for the purpose of the trade of comics, mangas, fan illustrations, doujins, and self-published works of people's interests (like pictures of train stations all over Japan). Well that people know.
But anyways, at exactly 16:00 (or 4pm) comiket officially closes for the day. So at the strike of the hour there's an announcement declaring the end of that day's comiket. After that announcement people (mostly the vendors) do this cheer and then all the attendants promptly walk out quietly while the stalls clean up and leave promptly afterwards.
I managed to snag a 3-day circle ticket this year - which meant that I was lining up nice and early to get the popular circles for friends. Except day 1, which was doing the commercial booths.
You clap at the beginning (at 10:00am), too - because that means you can now buy doujin; it's forbidden for people to buy anything before comiket starts, if you're in there before that.
It's always fun. And next is the so-called 'Day 4', which is heading down to Akiba and trying to buy anything that you missed from Melonbooks and Toranoana.
Did you manage to navigate the crushing sea of people on day 3? I heard that people collapsed and that a table fell down...
Contd. Contd. Contd. Akigumo's Year-End...Everyone?
