Here in America, San Diego ComicCon is the biggest nerdfest we've got with Anime Expo coming in at a huge second. But apparently, our otaku friends in Japan take geek cons to a whole new level. Comiket and Wonderfest make San Diego and Expo look like junior trade shows. In particular, I'm amazed at how gigantic Comiket is. It's essentially an independent, amateur comic convention and it's a bajillion times bigger than San Diego which showcases all professional comicers.

The Giant Robot folks give us a brief look at these two gigantic Japanese conventions. Part of me really wants to check out Comiket at some point. The other part of me doesn't think I'd survive such a massive gathering of awesome.
