The world of anime is slowly setting its roots in India, and it is here to stay. In a first-ever festival of its kind, Zee Café organised the Anime Fan Fest in Mumbai. As someone who has barely been exposed to this world in the last six months, there was a lot of jargon and character names to hear and register for this writer.
The two-day event that began on October 21 featured a plethora of attractions that kept the audience engaged. From anime quizzes to one-minute games, cosplay makeup tutorials, sneaker painting competitions, and masterclasses in skateboarding and origami-making, the event had something for everyone. Singer-sneakerhead Mihir Joshi hosted the event and also doubled up as a judge for the sneaker painting competition.
