The biggest one (Anime North) is hardly relevant and only has washed up VAs, random indie vtubers, or just straight up completely unknown people as their guests. The vendors are mostly just people reselling cheap stuff from taobao or stolen prints. It feels so shittily put together that I think I'll just not buy a ticket and instead stroll around outside taking pictures of cool cosplays. Maybe I'm just pessimistic, but the grass always seems greener on the other side.On a side note, if anybody's into Project Moon stuff, please hit me up, I... I wanna make friends.
because canada is fucking bad. it's either the middle of nowhere or horrible overpopulated cities with nothing of tourist interest. it doesn't help that every annoying congoer personality is cranked up to max. we're embarrassing.
I came up last year to vist a friend and ill be back this year. Most American cons are the same with the bad guests and vendor rooms. Only a few cons in America get any Japanese guests so it seems kinda normal.But I do get not paying for a badge after attending, That grass area is the spot everyone hangs out at anyways, probably the best place to see all the cosplayers.
>>10904283Come to the Truck con in the parking lot instead.
>>10904520This, it's the only worthwhile event at AN.
>>10904520>>10905090Truck will be real special this year. You haven't seen anything yet.
>>10905128will that cute astolfo with the eyeliner wings be there again
>>10905199this nigga zesty
>>10905199No, we have it on good authority he died of AIDS. The bathroom meetup is probably more your speed.
>>10904520So hyped for this!!!!!111>>10904501American cons are way better. What are you talking about?
>>10905206Aside from AX, which cons? I've found that most are the exact same shit.
>>10904283Artist Alley/Pro Plaza has a handful of actual good fanartists and original artists but I admit it's not enough to justify the badge price when most of them have online stores. Panels are forgettable unless you're super into some specific niche. On the bright side the gaming room will be in the main hotel/con hall instead of buried away in the sheraton. Spend your money on Otakuthon/Anirevo or other small local events instead
>>10905128Please make sure there's no fucking retards with road flares this year. My friend almost got hurt from those and i heard others had costumes damaged.
>>10905269skill issue
>>10904283>Project Moonplease be a girl
>>10904283i been gettin my ass beat by lobcorp on and off for like 2 years now, best i can do for ya
>>10905269I know who you're talking about.He paid for the damage of that girl's dress despite him not being the actual individual who may have burnt it without realizing.There were two people who were holding road flares. Another guy was being a lot more careless waiving it more vapidly like a light stick.Regardless, issue is long resolved on good terms between both parties.
>>10904520>>10905128What the fuck is the truck con?
>>10907917The only reason to go to anime north
>>10904283Anirevo is better
>>10904283somewhat unrelated but i hear comicon this year was vile. canada might just in general be cursed to have terribly run cons>>10907917truck at the back of the parking lot with music and occasionally drinksi went once two years ago but was too shy to talk to anyone haha, but it looked like everyone else was having fun
>>10904283What do people even talk to VAs about? I'm too awkward.Isn't the point of vtubers hiding your face because you're too ugly/male?What's the obsession with vendor halls? It's all shit you can buy online instead of wasting time in a packed smelly room.
>>10908207The hell happened at comicon?
anime north is pretty shit and too far out with nothing remotely decent as side attractions, i say this as a toronto resident. every should just ditch it and make TCAF an unofficial con. they actually had talent attend like junji ito.
>>10908576Pickpockets, clueless security guards, creeps
I'm hoping to see the Madoka and Janna I saw last year
>>10911245TCAF is like 70% trannies and all the real women have visible armpit hair. Most of the "art" is shitty little comics about how being a brown female is a disability and they should be allowed to to run in the special olympics. They seems to be enforcing masks this year as well?
>>10911271what year was this? 2019? There's only one toronto /cgl/ server and it's not as active as it was a few years ago. The TASH server is also fresh so my only other guess would be /a/toronto but using IRC is annoying.
>>10904283Anime North is during one of the most competitive/busiest weekends. It's competing against Animazement, Thy Geekdom, Fanimecon, Momocon, and (depending on the year) Anime Boston for guests.
>>10904283I'll be there, going to the Limbus panel as well. If you were at Anime Toronto I organized the Project Moon Literary connections panel as well
>>10914968bro that was pre-truck so like 2017 or 16
>>10915094Sick dude, will you be cosplaying anything? Let's meet up.
>>10915090canadian cons are not competing against US cons at all. no one from the US comes to our shit cons we have nothing to offer. zero NA licenses for anime or games or anything, same pool of guests with more complications. japanese guests don't want to come US guests definitely hate coming and it's basically only locals attending. like everything else canada is only competing in with the US in it's own head.
I just want to have fun and take pics of buffs and cutes and nice cosplays.
>>10907917tfw bathroom con evolved into truck con, i ''member
>>10904283anime north is not the biggest you fucking illiterate retardits the biggest 'non-profit' con, yet somehow charging more than the 'for profit ones' and giving a far shittier experience
So can I still bring alcohol to share at the truck party if its official now? or should I be more sneaky about it.
>>10916402No, bag check will mean you can't bring alcohol to it
>>10916402just toss it over the fence lol
>>10916488please do this so i can kick you out for violating the no drinks policy and keep your drinks for myself
>>10916402>>10916486>no alcohol at the truckit's over truckbros... it was too big last year and the now the AN tranny jannies have come to ruin it. it'll probably still be fine but this is gay
>>10916402who's going to stop you lmao
>>10916841The giant fence and bag checking jannies? Lmao fun time is over
>>10916850are you seriously afraid of AN jannies? it's like 80% unpaid volunteer teenagers
>>10916863That underpaid teenager will have the police remove you, have you not seen the police outside the rave cages? Lol
>>10916866>underpaidunpaid
>>10916866>Using con jannies as a flex
>>10916890Sorry but the cuck truck is under new management, it is an AN event now
>>10915226Na, was going to do a Heathcliff cosplay but things fell through, might be doing it for Otakuthon instead. You can add my burner discord if you want - teppeisensei
FYI - Check for sneed’s if truck goes to shit.
>>10904283>he hasn't been to Ai-Kon
>>10911271Do these still happen? How can I meet /a/nons?
>>10916992Sneeds?
This con fucking sucks, all of you are too old for this shit now
Its time.Lets go Kisame.
>>10908210> What do people even talk to VAs about? I'm too awkward.I didn’t talk to them (tfw EOP) but I love surprising the Japanese VAs by getting them to sign merch of the stuff they aren’t expecting. This year I got the Astro Boy VA really excited by bringing in my Takarajima BD.
>>10911245Is TCAF the Toronto Comics Art Festival? I’m down in KW so I’m not familiar with stuff in the GTA.
>>10918521Oh was she in that? Nice. I talked to her a bit in JP and that was super cool. So sad I missed the other JP VA (mittermeier my husbando...)
