People who are obsessed with Animations or games, once think about the dream they can become a hero or main character in the settings. Yes, like me who are frantically interested in games, animations or comics wanted to be in the anime/comic world. Some people also wanted to use their imagination to expand the story of the original animations or comics, using their personal thoughts and storyline to make spin-offs or side stories of the settings. However, people wonder where they can express these feelings or want to demonstrate their creative talents and love in animation/comics/games. Do not worry! Comic - Con will be the best location for you to express the love of our entrainments.
Comic - Con or Comic market was originated from Japan in 1975, created by Comic club circle “Labyrinth 迷宮”. At first, it was just a meeting of people who love and show their perspectives of anime or comic, leaving comments of pro and cons. There were only 700 people at first, and individual “doujin” (creative comics from personal original based or comic/anime based) was not common. However, as the time passes, in the 1980s where many classic comics started to boom out and in the 1990s anime like “ Sailor Moon” open the gate of glory to the anime industry. Comic - Con started to boom out, and millions of people started to engaged in this events. It is not a normal event, but a place where you can wear anime - customs, buy people’s doujin and individual software games. At first it was started as small but it became a massive social event. In Japan, every August and December opens Comic - Con, considering the size of the event (opening size) only America’s CES and German’s IFA can be comparable and for the population at more than 1,100,000 join the event in the single location (Tokyo International Display Market).
The boom of Comic- Con does not only came from the shifts of “trend” but also internets, and computer made Comic - Con even more significant. Computers and internet made the vast improvement in the quality of designs and also made improvement in the art style where many people can “learn” and “adjust” the drawing techniques. There were only a few people during the 1980s and 1990s, who can draw attractive drawings "doujin" for customers to buy. The storylines were immature, and the drawings were not in high-quality compared to "professional" drawers who made profits from comic sales. The internet made people to innovate to draw things “animatic” style with their individual imaginative twists. These impacted to massive people to draw “doujin”, leading Comic- Con into a massively creative and symbolic place for people to show their love. Many people draw doujin based on original comics with different genre flavors such as comedy into love romance.
Comic - Con does not only exists in Japan but worldwide. Many countries followed the trend Japanese Comic - Con and started to build their style within their countries. People started to post of their individual comics, doujin, parodies, games, etc. to demonstrate their skill, art, and love on their comics and anime. If you are the one who love on comic/anime world, Comic - Con is a great place to interact.
Every time when I saw vidoes about enthusiastic people dressed up as their favorite characters always excited me and wanted me to go one in the near future.
