Oh wow, Fate/Grand Order shoes.

I'd only be able to wear them indoors, though; I definitely wouldn't want to get them dirty.

For someone who has made several trips to Japan whilst learning the language:

how has increasing knowledge of the Japanese language improved your enjoyment of trips to events such as AnimeJapan?

Hey are all these products Anime Japan exclusives or are these the products you more or less get in store as well?

I hate to be cynical, but those swags will appear on Yahoo auction.

Right now, I'm reading other Anime Japan related news through Anime! Anime! Japanese news site and I'm finding that there are other interesting venues, announcements, and panels. One of them is "Family Anime Festa 2016" ran by Anime Japan where parents can bring their kids.

There are also Japanese industry panels where directors, VA, and other industry people present their new shows and projects in depth. So anyone who is fluent in Japanese can enjoy those venues other than waiting in line for swags.

There was one at Anime Japan 2015 where they brought together the producers of Lisani Live, Animelo Summer Live and Animax Musix together to talk about how they put together those live music of anime shows. It would have been great to have been able to attend and understand Japanese to gain some insights.

Lingerie boggles the mind, but sexy body pillows are a-ok family fare? Could somebody please explain this to me? I'm seriously confused here.

All that merch. I don't even know what half those shows are, but I'd buy so much of it.

Yikes! Those Powerpuff plushies look like they're strung out and begging you for their next fix. Laughing
