Update: Nadeshicon 2020 is, in fact, cancelled. Read the announcement here.
E3 may be cancelled due to COVID-19, but your favourite local anime convention isn’t! With that being said, we do have a few recommendations to share to ensure the event goes smoothly:
- Wash your hands often, for a duration of 20 seconds each time. Singing helps a lot with making sure you respect the duration. We personally recommend Database, the opening to Log Horizon; the part from the first « Database » to « As the madness of the system grows » is the perfect length. Not only will you help prevent the virus from spreading, but you will also be all warmed up for karaoke!
- Leave any « Free hugs » sign at home this year. Hugs may be a great way to share some happiness around, but happiness may not be the only thing you share doing so. Last we heard, smiling is still perfectly safe!
- Sneeze and cough into your elbow. Picture this: your elbow is your shield, and everyone else is Raphtalia. Hopefully your elbow doesn’t make your unreasonably angry at times though.
