Ani-Com Hong Kong

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ani-Com Hong Kong (Traditional Chinese: 香港動漫節) (called Hong Kong Comics Festival (香港漫畫節) previously) is a book fair focusing on comics. It held annually at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on August usually, selling comic books and comic-releated products.

Other than comics, there are shows, cosplay and dancing competitions during the festival.

The annual Hong Kong Game Fair is held in conjunction with the Comics festival. Companies such as Microsoft's XBOX have large kiosks and displays in the show, as well as the Samsung Game Girl competition, in which 11 girls compete for the Game Girl title. This competition is not so much based on their gaming ability (which most of the girls have none), but rather on looks.

On 2004, The convention was sponsored by Animax Hongkong
