CATDOLL: Japanese otakus line up to donate blood in exchange for limited edition Girls und Panzer peripherals

Last Sunday (November 13), the holy land of the Japanese anime Girls und Panzer, Oarai Town, held a fan event - the Anglerfish Festival. During the event, the official set up a blood donation point on site, and also launched blood donation in exchange for peripherals. These peripherals are special limited editions, which means they can only be obtained by donating blood. As a result, enthusiastic Panzer fans donated blood enthusiastically, and each blood donation point had to queue for 100 minutes before they could go up to donate blood. I have to say that the blood donation points here are really smart.

The Anglerfish Festival held this time is the first Anglerfish Festival after the release of the "Girls und Panzer" movie, so there are a lot of people coming. Some Japanese netizens believe that the number of tourists welcomed by the Anglerfish Festival today is 150,000. With so many fans coming to Oarai Town, the local JR Mito Station had to take flow control measures, and the highway leading to the Oarai area was also very congested. The Ibaraki Prefecture Red Cross set up a blood donation point at the Anglerfish Festival. As long as you donate 400cc of blood, you can exchange it for a Panzer Girls peripheral set, a notebook and two folders. As a result, this blood donation point really attracted a lot of fans to donate blood. Someone took a picture of the reminder outside the blood donation point that you need to queue up for 100 minutes to donate blood. It seems that this blood donation point received a lot of fresh blood from otaku today.

There were quite a few pain vehicles and even quite a few tanks (models?) on the scene, which was really amazing.
