Comiket/Comic Market 81, the biggest doujinshi event which was held at Tokyo Big Sight in December 29-31, reported an attendance total of 500,000 across all three days. Despite the huge number, no serious trouble or accident has been reported so far. A person named moconago has posted the two time-lapse videos from a hotel room nearby proved how the waiting lines at Comiket 81 moved so smoothly. The videos were filmed in five second intervals. Check how the Comiket attendees were organized and controlled orderly by the staff. (*the videos have no sound)

That's insane. I'm curious, though: when the lines move in, do the previous sets move out? I couldn't help but think all these people in one building doesn't go over too well.
