Anime section

[karbok]

Does anyone know from past experience if these are big and what sort of things are there?

A lot of the stalls were anime-centric, if that's what you mean? Plush, dvds, manga, posters/scrolls etc. There was also a healthy amount of anime cosplay. There isn't a "section" per se, the dealer floor isn't huge and is pretty crammed in, but there's plenty of merch to be had, nearly came home with a big totoro last year. I'd say maybe a 1/4 to a 1/3 of the tables had at least some anime merch, if not exclusively anime (there were some that just sold manga, etc). If you want cosplayer pics, the places people were meeting up/taking pics were in front of the white panelled "wall" on the dealer floor (You'll see what I mean when you're there, it's on the far... right, I think? Or left, depends on your perspective. But it's about the only section of open space), in the area near the prop photos/the cosplay contest sign up table, or if you're lucky you can just catch someone on the catwalks near the stairs, there was a LOT of cosplay, we saw the most amazing Blaziken I've ever seen, haha.
