Harucon is Israel's biggest anime convention, organized by AMAI (the Association of Manga and Anime in Israel) and taking place every year on Purim day. It is immensely popular, with all of the things one would expect from an anime convention; the cosplay competition, lectures, movie showings, merchandise, and more! Sadly, I won't be going, as I usually celebrate Purim with my friends and family (though I plan on going at some point). Some friends of mine who are going will be taking picture, and I will be posting those when I have access to them.

Regarding the tickets: members of AMAI and soldiers can get a discount of 5 NIS; there are a limited amount of discount tickets available. An extra 5 NIS will allow the purchaser to enter the main hall before the cosplay competition starts, with regard towards saving a seat before the event.

(Yes, I'm aware that I'm posting this late, as well as not posting the AnimeCon review yet. A combination of schoolwork, studying, and procrastination has led to me not putting it up yet, but expect it within the next few weeks. In general, I'll at least try to be more on top of letting everyone know dates of events)
