Japan Cosplay 2018 - Geneve

[Anonymous No.9994988]

hello everyone. i have some questions about the aforementioned fair in geneve because i intend to visit it and cosplay there.

my first question is about the french language barrier. i can kinda understand what the person in front of me is saying but replying is pretty hard (learned it in school - didnt use it anymore).

what was your experience like in retrospect?

what about the payment (is it possible to pay with euros/us-dollars)?

thank you very much for your time.

It's not worth it imho unless you really have nothing else to go to. In my experience the gawking normie ratio is high and the pricing of everything huge (and no lmao no one's gonna accept USD why would they? You might be able to get away with Euros for some things, but not guaranteed and not neccesarily at an exchange rate you'll like.) Cosplayers tend to be sold as an attraction but there's not actually many/much for them.

I'm from geneva and i didn't have any great feedback on this con, i dont think it's worth it, if you really want to go to a swiss convention, try Japan Impact, it's pretty small but it's the most fun and welcoming for cosplayers in my opinion.
You can also try polymanga, but it's more like a giant pop culture supermarket than a cosplayer-friendly con. The contests are great tho
