Raitaisai 10 report (late!)

It's been more than a week since Reitaisai, but here's my report. So far from all the events I've been I think it's the second biggest after Comiket. It's a little bigger than Wonder festival... I think, but they are very close in size.
For those who don't know what Reitaisai is, it's a Touhou Project only event. It's like the Comiket, but with works that are inspired from Touhou only.

I went to this event with 2 friends from work. 1 of them just like events, but doesn't really know Touhou, but he decided to tag along anyway.
We got there about an hour before the opening time, so we had to wait in line. It was a really huge line, while not quite as huge as the Comiket one.




The line actually started moving about 15 minutes after the official start time. Our first target was the Demo of Touhou 14, and ZUN's table. As expected, this line was very long. I'm kinda sad they separated TH13.5 and TH14 line, so if you wanted both, you needed to line up twice. This made me give up on Th13.5.

While lining up for Th14, we got to see some pretty nice Itasha. I specially liked the Remilia convertible. You can see them all in this album here: Reitaisai10Itasha, but here are my favorite ones.





I'm definitely making one when I buy my next car.

After getting the new Touhou game, we went to all the circles I wanted to visit/buy from. My loot was pretty nice this time.



I got to speak with IRON CHINO quite a bit again. He told me he's gonna have another Live this summer, can't wait!
After buying everything we needed, we went to take some pictures of the cosplay space, you can see all the pics here:Reitaisai10Cosplay but here are my favourites:










My favourite was this Marisa, she's really nice


I still didn't finish listening to all my Reitaisai purchases (I actually have some left from M3 too) but so far I can tell you that at least these two album stands out from the lot:
