DESCRIPTION:modeled after Comiket Japan.\n\nDoujin Overload is an exhibitio
 n of the constantly evolving style of communication\, art and entertainmen
 t called doujinshi. The organizer\, Anime NZ Ltd\, is composed of like-min
 ded individuals who share a deep appreciation for this sophisticated and t
 hought provoking medium of expression\, and wish to share the experience o
 f this style of art with the community\n\nOur goal is to celebrate the pas
 sion and enthusiasm of our local doujinshi artists. Doujinshi is a Japanes
 e phenomenon\, and while major aspects of what inspires it in its original
  culture have recently filtered down into our own popular culture - throug
 h translated works\, animation and merchandise like Dragon Ball Z\, Evange
 lion\, Pokemon and Yugi-Oh - they are but the tip of the iceberg. While th
 ey are relatively well recognized names\, awareness of this growing branch
  of popular culture is still limited in New Zealand. However it is growing
  due to officially released and published material becoming easier to find
  and acquire. Forums\, venues\, and even just awareness of the opportuniti
 es for fan and fan-artists still remain under-developed. Enthusiasts can e
 xperience difficulties in finding others with similar interests\, and ther
 e are few social forums - that they are aware of - where they can gather t
 ogether. By giving local doujinshi artists the opportunity to increase the
 ir exposure - by displaying their works to the general public through a co
 mmon forum - Doujin Overload will increase awareness of this form of artis
 tic expression.\n\nFor more information submit an email to subscribe to GN
