An anime convention or anime event is simply a gathering that brings together fans of anime, manga, games, and everything related to Japanese culture. Most anime events are held for commercial purposes and with the intention of bringing together many people who enjoy Japanese culture. Today we will talk about these wonderful events held from north to south in Brazil and around the world.
At an anime event, there are many attractions, whether they are YouTubers; voice actors; activities; games; Brazilian K-POP groups; Brazilian singers or even international singers who sing anime songs and other peculiarities of each event.

What are the differences between the events in Brazil and Japan?
When it comes to anime or Japanese culture events, in Japan they are much more segmented than in Brazil. Unfortunately, anime events that claim to be of Japanese culture in Brazil do not usually provide anything of culture.
Those that have anime in the name tend to mix so many things like HQs, Games, Youtubers, and some MMOs, making it seem like most visitors don't even seem to like anime. Not to mention that events in Japan are much better organized and have many more attractions, cosplayers, stores, and products.
Is it worth going to an anime event in Brazil?
In my opinion, it's worth going. It is worth going even in small events, because, in small events, you pay less and have almost the same activities that a large anime event has.
