The Anime Festival Asia (AFA) returned to its physical form at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre after a two-year hiatus.
It was held online in 2020 due to Covid-19.
The festival began on Friday (Nov. 25) and will end on Sunday (Nov. 27).
AFA announced that tickets for its second day were all sold out.
Long queue just to get entry wristband
A Mothership reader who was at the event told us that people were pushing each other as multiple queues merged into one main line.
He added that he queued for an hour to retrieve his entry wristband, which must be worn at all times in the festival area.
Photos and videos online showed a large number of people queuing to enter the festival area.

One Twitter user described the queue as "all over the place".
Just as crowded inside festival area
The crowd situation appeared to be just as congested inside the festival area.
A Twitter user said that they felt "a bit dizzy" as there were too many people.
Intense.
