ACGHK 2022 ( Hong Kong Comic and Cartoon Festival)" is one of the largest anime, manga, and game festivals in Hong Kong.
Although the 2020 event was cancelled due to Corona, it was held for the first time in a year last year in 2021.
This year, the festival was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from July 29 (Friday) to August 2 (Tuesday), 2022!
Saiga NAK, which also has a base in Hong Kong, visited the event site with our editorial team and would like to report on the event!
Exploring the ACGHK 2022 venue right away!
We quickly completed the registration and entered the ACGHK 2022 venue.
The first thing I headed for was the Xbox booth!
The Xbox Series S, which continues to be hard to find, was on display!
At the booth, a staff member explained about the exhibits.
At the Steelseries booth, mice, controllers, and keyboards were on display!
At the Predator Gaming booth, the " PREDATOR HELIOS 300 " gaming notebook designed for next-generation gaming was on display!
In the Gran Turismo 7 corner, there was a Mercedes-Benz on display!
Next to the Mercedes-Benz, you can actually try out Gran Turismo 7.
TrialMountain T-shirts that appear in Gran Turismo were also at the venue.
There was a four-player game going on at KONAMI's Yu-Gi-Oh! CROSSDUEL!
A global version of the game was set for release at Tencent Games' Rong Yao Wang booth! It is listed as "Hong Kong Guan Fang Sai (Hong Kong Official Tournament)" and the tournament will be held here.
Trailers for NetEase's Fifth Personality and Marvel Duel were shown on monitors in the booth.
In the GADGET OUTLET corner, popular gaming devices and smartphones were on sale at outlet prices!
There was also a live event on the Doujin Stage at the Doujin Dist.
Performers and spectators alike had a blast!
Live performances on a separate stage!
Jujutsu Kaisen figures were also on display!
Jujutsu Kaisen is popular not only in Japan but also overseas.
There was also a cosplayer dressed as the main character, Eugene Toraje.
ACGHK 2022 Cosplayers!
A joint photo of cosplayers, a rarity in Japan!
The day I went to cover the event was a media-only day, and a media-only photo session was being held.
Despite the different game titles, the organizer requested a group photo! This is a great service that is rarely seen in Japan...
