This Sunday, March 23, the Anime-with It is carried out in the Industry Park with more than 20 stands in which attendees can find articles such as posters, mood figures and Cosplay outfits based on the most popular characters of the moment. The activity is scheduled to end at 8 pm-
It is common that in each festival of this type they attend cosplayers dressed in their favorite characters.
“My outfit is based on Retsuko and I was inspired because I saw the series when I was 25 years old, casually the age of this character who is an office worker who goes out to sing to a karaoke to remove stress. I feel it is like me,” Maria Fernanda explained, one of the anime-with 2025 cosplayers.
For many it is best to make their own outfits as Novi, a young woman who decided to make the pieces of her own cosplay.
“I came with a Neon Genesis Evangelion outfit, which was a series that I saw many years ago and it really marked me” explained “Novi” one of the cosplayer.
In the event more than 20 stands were positioned with anime -related products.
“What they are asking for most are the Kimetsu Katanas no Yaiba, because the movie is about to go out in the cinema and if we talk about figures they are also asking for those of this series or those of Dragon Ball,” said Mario Aguilera, one of the merchants of the place that added that the prices of the collection figures are from the Q200.
Another of the most visited stands was that of thematic stuffed animals. Javier García explained that among the most requested characters are those that appear in anime series, which are from Q50 and ranging from keychains to stuffed animals of more than 30 centimeters in diameter.
