Get ready for another awesome anime convention from the organizers of Yume-Con! Originally, 
another group was set to organize the convention; however, they canceled it at the last minute
and asked the Hotaru Group to organize it instead. Within the six weeks that they had left until 
the date, they have managed to bring you an anime convention that knock your socks off! The
theme is gaming – specifically, gaming in the world of anime. And as such, the convention has 
activities are geared towards this, along with many other interesting things to do and see. The 
cosplay competition, Japanese language workshops, RD&D and more await you!

Regarding tickets:
Soldiers, members of Hotaru, and those who live in the South can purchase their tickets for 35
NIS. There are also bus tickets being sold for 45 NIS; the Hotaru Group has organized buses 
that leave from and return to the major cities (Jerusalem, Haifa, Tel Aviv, Be’er Sheva) at two 
different times, so as to lower costs for the convention goers (If you wish to travel from a city
