Cosplayer conquered Jena: Convention “Jenaco” celebrated Far Eastern pop culture.
Jena. Classical had to give way, because the venerable Volkshaus in Jena turned into a pulsating center of Asian pop culture at the weekend.
The “Jenaco” convention offered a colorful spectacle of cosplay, karaoke and K-pop for two days-and attracted hundreds of fans from all over Germany.
Already on Saturday morning there was a long line in front of the entrance, in which shrill-dressed cosplayers and anime lovers were patiently looking forward to the event.
Many had taken a long way to be part of the scene – from cities like Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Munich and even from abroad, visitors traveled.
The program was as diverse as the costumes: workshops, competitions and hands -on activities around manga, anime and Japanese culture created an exuberant atmosphere.
The convention offered a platform for creative development, exchange and enthusiasm – all about the Far Eastern imagination.
Jeannette Schlenzig, the main organizer of the Jenaco, was impressed by the response:
“It is always fantastic to see how many people are enthusiastic about this event.”
Even the wet -cold weather could not cloud the mood – the Jenaco was again a complete success.
