We all know that being geek is something to be proud and you must wear with the same pride as any other aspect of your life. But it is something that until not long ago was not possible, not without feeling a bit uncomfortable at least. That need to express freely as book lovers, comics, video games and films is something that also goes back many years, since the entertainment industry began to grow. And there were people who realized this demand quite quickly, proposing a revolutionary solution: conventions. Physical spaces reserved for people with the same passions to interact and share their enthusiasm. An idea that although it was already successful at the time (for example, the San Diego Comic-with began in 1970), has now exploited in popularity. Now those attending this type of fairs are counted by thousands and companies have found a way to convert them not only into face -to -face conventions but in full -fledged geeks events even for those who cannot attend. Now, to continue with the previous example, San Diego Comic-Con is not just the largest friki face-to-face event in the world, with hundreds of stands and competitions and activities. If not that the big distributors take the opportunity to show their novelties in this type of event, which attracts looks around the whole globe.
In this 2022 we have already passed events such as the Summer Game Fest, the Netflix Geeked Week and the aforementioned Comic-Con, but if you think the great conventions have ended for this year, we will show you that you are very clueless:
23 Expo 2022
From September 9 to 11 we have one of the most interesting appointments of the hand of Disney. And although Disney and its franchises are easily produced by third -party events, we can be sure that they will always come to their own event with all the available arsenal. The event also has its face -to -face side, specifically in Los Angeles, in the Anaheim Convention Center (headquarters of other events such as E3 or Twitchcon). There is a huge collection of official merchandising, cosplay contests and many activities to enjoy the Disney experience. As for news, Disney comes out with everything. There are panels dedicated to their attraction parks, new merchandising and of course, to their new productions. Although it seems that Disney has spent his loaders in the Comic-Con, where they taught their plan for Marvel phase 5, we are sure they will come with news. Surely they will let us see more than "elementary", the new movie of Pixar, as well as "Avatar: The sense of water”And Strange World, the last movie of Walt Disney Animation Studios. But perhaps what most interests are the possible new data on Marvel, that complete what has already been announced in San Diego and give some coherence to the temporal line of phase 5. And we cannot forget about Star Wars, where they will surely show some things from the new season of Mandalorian, the new series of Ashoka and Skeleton Crew and who knows if any other surprise. We will be very attentive.
Tokyo Game Show 2022
Every Gamer who louds knows the "Santa Trinidad" of video game conventions: E3, Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show. And it is not for less because the event held in the Japanese capital, apart from being one of the biggest video game events at the face -to -face level, has always been a convention with a lot of movement as far as news is concerned. This year we will have conferences from Microsoft, Bandai Namco, Konami, SEGA and Capcom among others. It is true that this event is a bit different and clearly focused on the Japanese public that as we know, it is a bit special. But surely there will be games for all audiences. Will we see anything about Elden Ring with Bandai? ¿WO Long with xbox? ¿Final Fantasy XVI With Square Enix? Resident Evil 4 or Street Fighter With capcom? What we can assure is that we will have countless RPG games of anime aesthetics and very interesting surprises. Sony's assistance to the conference is not yet confirmed, a usual to which he usually likes to play at home. Although they may not have much to teach after the Summer Games Week. Be that as it may, it is the main video game event of what remains of the year and we are going to enjoy it. It is celebrated from September 15 to 18 in Tokyo, in case you feel like going.
Japan Weekend Madrid 2022
We did not want to make this list without talking about events in national territory, which are also important and attract the attention of thousands of people. In this case we talk about the Japan Weekend, probably the most popular manga convention in our country, whose 2022 edition will be held between September 24 and 25 in IFEMA, Madrid. In the enclosure, we will have all kinds of stands with merchandising of all kinds (t -shirts, cups, pots ...), activities such as Karaoke, Japanese culture competitions, competitions of Cosplay and tastings of Japanese food Among many other things. Of course, stands are not missing to play some games and to buy sleeve and comics, usually bringing the news translated into Spanish directly from the oven. It is a pleasure to have such a strong otaku community in Spain and see that more and more people lose their fear of showing their geek with illusion.
Jump Festa 2023
These are just some of the most important events of what remains of the year. Look for notebook and boli and have them well pointed, so that all the news of your favorite sagas do not catch you in surprise. Because being up to date in the geek world requires more concentration than many believe. And if you like Disney movies and series, anime or video games ... in Our website We have the best designs!
