Anyone else going?
>>
>>10970629
Yes. First time doing a Canada con outside of Berta.had to tell work to fuck off for the third time.
>>
>>10970634
Animethon or Otafest?
>>
I'm worried about cosplaying when it's been this rainy
>>
>>10970640
Been to Otafest for years just due to it lining up with work schedule usually.
This year I'm getting to Animethon instead, for the first time in like a decade
>>
>>10970629
I might. I've never been to an anime convention or anything of the sorts, so I'm not really sure what to expect.
>>
>>10970647
Time to put down the con badge, oldtimer
>>
>>10970655
Expect nothing from AN, despite being the biggest con in Canada, it’s bad
>>
>>10970629
iosys this year?
>>
>>10970658
Why's it bad?
>>
>>10970629
I will be pulling up. Got my cosplay ready and waiting while counting the days. Hopefully weather isn't complete ass.
>>
>>10970664
Currently says 18 degrees with clouds but mother nature is fickle like that
>>
Do you need a badge to get into the rave? I'm not paying $55
>>
>>10970656
Ew, a beta
>>
>>10970678
I think you do for the official rave but any time I've been to the truck one no one has checked.
>>
>>10970678
Yes
>>
cool
>>
>>10970680
Ew, a boomer
>>
>>10970661
There isn’t much to do. If it’s your first con, then have a good time, but most attendees use it as an excuse to party
>>
It irks me seeing Asian con photography "culture" increasingly being prevalent at my local cons. Cosplayers coming explicitly to just get a few photos or vids for social media then leaving, and photags with zero spatial awareness trying to camp parts of the con floor with some mid af setup.
The latter is at least fine when theres a designated area, but I like my cons being more than a dim background for some thot's xiaohongshu post.
>>
>>10970688
Awwe. Unoriginal.Poor little sigma has no rizz. You get a six out of seven on the cringe scale
>>
>>10970689
So lots of drinking. What's the experience like?
>>
I'm shy and don't like drinking. Is the truck a good place to make nerd friends?
>>
>>10970697
you have an entire con full of social retards who are scared of alcohol, have fun.
>>
How do you even meet someone at a rave? Isn't the music deafeningly loud?
>>
>>10970700
this retard thinks he's gonna hook up with someone at an anime convention rave lmao
>>
>>10970701
Is that not what happens? How else are nerds supposed to hook up?
>>
>>10970697
no its mostly middle aged grifters
>>
>>10970697
Depends on if you like anime and video games.
>>
>>10970709
I love anime and manga, I like video games, I don't hate drinking and I'm a socially-inept autistic retard. Will I fit in?
>>
>>10970710
Depends, are you there to talk about anime and manga and video games or are you there to hook up with some con whore?
>>
>>10970711
I'm not the type of person to talk up girls. Probably 80/20; like I'm not going to let a chance pass by if presented, but my main focus is just meeting people and talking. I've also just always wanted to cosplay at least once in my life.
>>
>>10970634
.. you cross Canada and AN is the one you come to? I'm so sorry. This is the first year in almost a decade I'm going to attend AN and I already know it's going to be mid.
>>
>>10970712
Then you'll have a good time.
>>
>>10970713
There's only a few cons worth going to in Canada if you're crossing the border and AN is one of them because it's the biggest in Canada and everyone goes.

what are you cosplaying as
im going as momo
>>
>>10970694
Unc is on 4tran and wants originality, check into a retirement home
>>
>>10970716
who's momo?
>>
>>10970724
Dandadan maybe?
>>
My local con is always on the same days. It hasn't happened yet, obviously, but it's already shit the bed. Looks like 2027 is my year
>>
>>10970718
I do feel bad for the kids. Everything they know is a reference, rip off, or throwback to something. Poor guys can't create their own style. Missed out on better times, and options for haircuts
>>
>>10970716
I wanna go as Okarun, but I have to find an outfit with good material. Running out of time.
>>
>>10970713
Why not? Work schedule is 10/10 so I just pick cons that fit in with my off time. I've nothing against the states, but it would be preferable to stay within country for lower prices.
Guess technically I have been to Sask and BC cons. Never anime Rev tho
>>
>>10970716
Shinpei or Eren I haven't decided yet
>>
>>10970716
Going as a Wizzard with an absolutely irresponsibly sized hat
>>
Can i find chuddie friends at this con?
>>
>>10970715
Oooh I misread that as them being FROM Alberta. My dumb. But I was running on that, and crossing Canada for AN is rough when BC is a shorter trip for a better almost-everything. And shit for a slightly longer travel time you can get to Monteal for an also better set of cons. AN has proven size isn't everything for ages.

>>10970734
Oh don't get me wrong, you can and probably will have a good time. But as a local the idea of traveling any real distance for AN sounds disappointing.
>>
>>10970749
You got it right first time. I am Alberta.
It's something new. Tried both cons here, Sakuracon in Seattle which is like... 50k(?) people. I think I like the smaller 10k ones better, but I'm excited to try something in the middle. Party cons are always fun
>>
First time going to this con, what should I expect?
>>
>>10970778
dealers hall is slop and a swamp, they hate cosplayers so you'll be out on pavement most the time, the panels and events are all retarded but theres fun to be had with things like the truck party. Just avoid the normieslop rave at all costs.
>>
Do I buy the full weekend pass or just the Saturday? Like will I be missing much by not attending on Friday? I live about a forty minute drive away so I'm not booking a hotel or anything.
>>
>>10970784
If you aren’t planning on going to the con with friends and don’t have any intention to attend panels, what are you even going for? Friday and Saturday have the same stuff going on.
>>
>>10970785
Nah, there are a few panels I want to see as well as VAer. I'm also meeting up with a friend on the Saturday. If there's nothing different on Friday then I won't bother though.
>>
>>10970792
Then don’t bother
>>
No one excited for this con with this weather
>>
does the metal gear solid grilling thing happen every year
>>
>>10970816
Not always metal gear themed
>>
What’s the point of the truck or the grill? There’s no shortage of raves with sweaty, annoying guys, and you can grill with your own friends instead of the same. A friend wanted me to visit this con but after seeing the programming and the previous threads, Anime Revolution clears it easy.
>>
>>10970818
I don't have any female friends
>>
>>10970830
Why would that change at either of those
>>
>>10970833
Idiotic question
>>
>>10970818
what's the point of going to anime cons when you can stay home and listen to music while grilling?
>>
>>10970629
I've never been to Anime North, and it's not happening this year, but I'm looking at maybe next year. How big is it? Is it "fuck, gotta book the room a year in advance" big?

Also, I'm thinking about doing a road trip, coming all the way up from Alabama. Should I enter Canada via Detroit or Buffalo? Kinda leaning towards Buffalo, but I'd like to hear the thoughts of people who have actually done this.
>>
>>10970834
>If I attend a majority male event, will I make female friends?
That is an idiotic question, yeah
>>
>>10970841
The hotels become available for booking around January, the big one (Delta) is booked out within the same day it becomes available or a day after. The rest are typically available for a month before being booked out.
>>
>>10970839
I don’t go to anime conventions for either of those things
>>
>>10970830
With how gulls have orbited some fat bitch in the past, you’re gonna have to get in line
>>
>>10970862
My point is you're a retard
>>
>>10970641
This. Weather is crazy this season. I just hope I can attend though. Missed last year.
>>
>>10970779
Please have Actress Again like laet time please
>>
>>10970872
why do you assume random gulls are the truck people, they probably don't even browse this board
>>
Is emma coming?
>>
what are the odds I can get with a bowsette that has fat boobies this year?
>>
Will there be a lot of trannies?
>>

is that the girl that got run through

by me

>>10970894
and me

Because I assume a lot.
>then don..
Nah.
>>
First con season with NOT strong zero sold at the LCBO, this will change how photos look. I'm excited, friends are flying in.
>>
>>10970697
eh it's loud and hard to talk to people. Honestly not sure how people make friends at cons other than pre planned online meetups and most of those have gone to shit years ago.
>>
>>10970697
Are you cute lil' nigga?
If not, do you at least have a personality?
>>
>>10970904
this is 4chan, not cute and no personality
>>
>>10970716
Kei Yuuki and Golden Boy.
Kei is sadly a touch obscure, so I'm just gonna look like a crossdressing Goth loli in a cheaper outfit. Ah well, deal with it
>>
>>10970903
Oh, is it more like a rave than a BBQ? I'm not sure how to make friends either; to meet people you have to go outside, but the kind of person you'd get along best with is the kind of person not going outside
>>10970904
I've been called cute before, but I don't necessarily believe it... I like my personality though.
>>
>>10970908
It's not obscure, it's old
You are an unc
>>
>>10970705
What are they grifting?
>>
>>10970903
>most of those have gone to shit years ago.
Most of those from HERE have gone to shit because the Ontario circle caused drama over the same few girls

The remaining people on the 'cord are either married, hanger-ons after being involved in the drama in one way or another, and people who don't know any better, which are all exactly the type of people you don't want to have an online meetup with
>>
>>10970911
Dunno, it's a word that people use to describe their enemies. I was hoping no one would notice
>>
>>10970909
Are you female (male) or regular person. Is it pink?

Also, the truck rave is in the corner of the parking lot. Look for the grill. This year there will be two trucks going on if all goes well for the gulls. So you can easily make friends. Just approach people and strike up a conversation.

Anyone attending will on a equal level of autism.
>>
>>10970915
Most people here go to the truck and the grill, whose enemies are they
>>
>>10970916
What’s the point of the truck for the grill?
>>
>>10970909
The rave is only on Saturday night. The truck(s) are going to be there from Friday to Sunday, so you can go and speak to the people there even outside of the rave.
>>
>>10970910
Okay boomer
>>
>>10970920
Cope and seethe oldtroon
>>
>>10970916
I'm a boy, but I'd be cosplaying a girl if I can work up the nerve. Is what pink? If my assumption is right, yes...

Approaching people and striking up conversations is my main weakness as a human being. I can only work up the courage to go and hope something happens!
>>10970919
If I go it'll be Saturday, so maybe I'll go before the rave in the afternoon.
>>

How I envy you

>>10970939
Get a 9-5 you slave
>>
>>10970922
Who you gonna be cosplaying as little guy? I was just kidding to scare you. You didnt actually have to reply to to question.

There are no women on the internet.

Anyway, just walk up to the guys with the grill. And be friendly.
>>
>>10970918
Its called grillin' glizzies, ever heard of it nigga?
>>
>>10970943
I'm debating going as Okarun or Frieren. Both are simple enough, but one is a but more of a statement. And I didn't mind the question, no worries.

Walking up to people and not speaking until spoken to, I can certainly do!
>>
>>10970945
Is it tight?
>>
>>10970945
It's a convention man. Talking to people is what it's for. Its the only time of the year you can guarantee that the weirdos around you can be on your level of autism.
>>
>>10970946
Oh shush!
>>10970947
I know you're right, just have to force myself to leave my comfort zone
>>
>>10970949
It either grips like a retard with the class pet or is blown out like the subwoofers after a deathgrips song. Can't wait to find out which cutie.
>>
>>10970949
Yeah! That's the spirit.
Those are two different cosplays, what's the thought between choosing either. Not that its bad or anything.
>>
>>10970950
What a crude description!
>>10970951
One would be playing it safe and maybe give me an in to talk to girls, the other would be a big leap out of my comfort zone and maybe give me an in to talk to guys. So I don't know..
>>
>>10970952
You're not denying it though. Like you want me to find out the hard way.
>>
Will there be a /cgl/ meetup?
>>
>>10970952
Wdym, im sure you could talk to girls as Okarun. You dont need to dress like a girl to talk to girls.
>>
>>10970953
It's perfectly lovely, thank you very much
>>10970956
It's the other way around
>>
>>10970957
So you're trying to entrap young men by dressing up as Frieren huh? That's horrible. Someone needs to stop such behavior. And dole out an appropriate punishment
>>
>>10970957
I'm sure you can talk to anyone regardless of the cosplay. Its not really gender specific.
>>
>>10970960
I haven't even done it yet!
>>10970961
It's moreso trying to make myself look appealing and have something to talk about
>>
>>10970962
>Yet
So that is your plan you filthy cadamite. Looks like my posse and I are gonna be on the lookout for an Okarun or Frieren to dole out justice upon and cleanse your evil nature that resides deep inside you. And we shall see how honest you've been thus far.
>>
>>10970962
What do you mean by appealing? Im sure if your cosplay is good, people will talk to you!
>>
>>10970965
Posse?! Now I can't wear either outfit to the truck or I'll get jumped by a bunch of guys?!
>>10970966
I don't know that it'll be good, just more eye catching than my normal self I suppose
>>
>>10970962
Man you sound like a tranny
>>
>>10970967
If you're pure of heart you've got nothing to worry about. However, if you're lascivious you shall be treated appropriately.
>>
>>10970968
I am not. I'm a completely normal guy
>>10970969
And how will you determine that?
>>
>>10970970
Yeah, a normal guy who wants it up his ass. Why else would you be dressing up like a foid to talk to dudes.
>>
>>10970967
Just talk to people dude you'll be fine. And make sure you cosplay isn't trash. Doesnt have ti be the best but put some effort in. Most autists get mad when they favorite characters are poorly done.
>>
>>10970970
Its sheer vibes desu. But if you're being a gay little retard you're gonna get bullied.
>>
>>10970955
Yeah, we’ll be at the trans panels
>>
>>10970973
Bullied in what way?
>>
>>10970971
I don't see the correlation. It's just a bit of fun.
>>10970972
I put in as much effort as I can, but I'm not a pro or a seamstress or anything. I just want to put enough effort in to not look out of place
>>10970973
I'm a very normal guy, so I should easily pass this test!
>>
>>10970975
Something tell me you're having gay thoughts about this.
>>
>>10970978
Just say
>>
>>10970977
How many glizzies you can fit down your throat. And in not talking about the ones from Costco big boss will be cooking up on the grill.

>>10970979
Im not that Anon. You just sound like a fag

>>10970981
Will I find what I'm looking for at the truck?

it's like an hour transit out of downtown...
>>

Just take the train up from union to the airport and then uber to the truck

nah truck rave isnt worth it

The truck rave would be more worth it if they hired a bunch of cute women to have sex with me. They need to do better

>>10970697
Do you even like nerd stuff? If so, then you will probably find some people into the same thing in such a large con. It's up to you to go through the schedule and find events that appeal to you and the nerd stuff you like

>>10970778
bring an N95 mask for the dealer's hall and a water bottle for the heat, and a raincoat or umbrella for the rain. The con nightlife is actually pretty decent if you look around

The Detroit crossing has a reputation for surly and strict CBP officers, take Buffalo if you can. Canada Customs officers are much more chill overall if you don't do anything stupid.

Are there ANY other anime cons or meetups in the area throughout the year? I may not be able to make it this year but I want to cosplay and make friends

Any of the panels/workshops or whatever worth going to? There's one about making friends, and a surprising amount that are LGBTQ related (I'm not a fag) but it's hard to tell if any are worth going to.

Just want to make some friends

Yeticon looks cool. Do any of those have an active scene on /cgl/?
>>
>>10971161
I thought Anime Toronto doesn’t exist anymore
>>
>>10971174
It doesn't.
>>
>>10971166
There's no active scene on /cgl/ in Ontario anywhere anymore. You're late to the party by like a decade. You can still come meet us at the grill or you can go to the truck rave to meet the people there also from 4chan but if you're a zoom zoom, it'll be like visiting a retirement home either way.

Damn, really? I thought Anime North at least would have a pretty solid presence. Where do the nerds my age hang out?

>>10971206
ball pit quality.
>>
>>10971222
>>10971227
So not worth going to this year? Worse than AN?
>>
>>10971228
Every Ontario con is worse than AN because they're much smaller and have less to do. Other Canada cons are comparable but you're not gonna find anything else in province.
>>
>>10971228
You could dig up the old thread from the archives. Picture a tiny college did a con 10 years and had the audacity to try and charge people $40, that's around the level of guilty
>>
>>10971229
But people ITT say that AN has nothing to do. Is Ontario just fucked?
>>
>>10971228
I will probably go again, but I do not expect it to be any better.
>>
>>10971232
AN has stuff to do but if you've gone to the convention more than a handful of times, you sorta settle into doing one of two things: going to the truck throughout the weekend to see what stupid shit the /a/toronto people are doing and/or making plans with the gulls before and after the grill.

The con hasn't changed much in well over a decade but the people that have been going there forever will say it's gotten worse because the panels are uninteresting to them, they don't care about the guests or events, the photoshoots are for stuff they don't care about, etc. You should stop taking everything this thread says as the be all end all for discussion about AN. It's the biggest convention in all of Canada for a reason.
>>
>>10971234
>they don't care about the guests
Credit where credit is due, for once AN got a Japanese VA. A singular one.
>>
>>10971022
>The con nightlife is actually pretty decent if you look around
Doubt.
Do you just mean the trucks or what?
>>
>>10971237
No I mean hook ups
>>
>>10971236
To be fair, most of the attendees also don't care about Japanese guests. They just go to party or to have A con to go to.
>>
>>10971236
They got two, the mom and daughter
>>10971229
fan expo is also really good
>>10971228
Its worse than comicon lol, but tbf, not many cons start off great
>>10971252
This, some cosplayers just attend for the photoshoots they book
>>
>>10971253
>fan expo is also really good
it's not though, it sucks. If your intent is to go buy a bunch of garbage you can get online for cheaper, or stand in line for an hour to get the signature of some minor celebrity then sure, otherwise it's completely soulless and boring.
>>
>>10971253
>fan expo
>comicon
Both of those are horrible, what the fuck? AN might not be anything to write home about but it's still better than those other cons.
>>
This is the deadest I've ever seen AN threads
What's a better con to go to instead

>>10971257
brother this thread is propping up the whole board
>>
>>10971261
And still 10x slower than regular AN threads
>>
>>10971262
Cause everything is slower. It was mentioned in /hap/ that because of this thread /cgl/ finally had a higher post per minute than 0 in a while.

You're ignoring that every AN thread before this one has been much faster. Look at last years even, it's like double the speed of this. What happened?

help a socially retarded anon out. Is it actually possible to meet people or make friends at AN (or any con)? Like, talking to people at a panel you (and presumably they, also) have an interest in?
>>
>>10971337
no
>>
>>10971338
I knew it.
>>
>>10971337
Chances are low if you do actual con stuff if you're not cosplaying. If you go to the /cgl/ and /a/ shit, chances are higher since you can just say whatever stupid thing comes to mind and be in good company.
>>
>>10971337
It's possible but very hard. It's easier if its a pre planned meetup for some fandom/online thing and you keep talking online after, but this thread has shown that most online places are a dumpster fire. You should try but not be disappointed if it doesn't work out.

For the sake of this conversation we can assume that the answer is no (not a stretch).

Come on, I'm an autist going to an anime convention, you can't expect me to navigate years of drama between truck and official convention management, not to mention food safety and public drinking laws.

Now that the weather is confirmed to be rainy, what’s everyone doing for Saturday and Sunday
>>
>>10971442
Idk, hang out at burgar king or harveys I guess.
I haven't looked at the schedule online yet, I'll look at it when I pick up the book tomorrow to figure out if any panels seem worth attending. After an initial stroll through vendors and artists (probably not getting anything since it's all aliexpress trash anyway), aside from a few panels I mostly just talk with cosplayers and take some photos. That might get kinda fucked up with the rain but I'm sure it won't stop everyone. I'm also trying to get a gundam ready to put into the model contest but I'm really behind on that with only 2 days left.

I went with people for the first time last year, and prefer going on my own I think. It felt weirdly pressuring to like manage people and not just wander around doing nothing which is what I kind of prefer to do. With people I feel obligated to be talking to them rather than talking to con people. It doesn't help that the rest of the people are also introvert social retards (self included) who wouldn't interact with people unless forced. If I had a more outgoing friend group it would probably be better.

Thank you for reading my blog.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.
Men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even trannies who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway.

Convenience stores should have some small selection these days. Otherwise your best bet for a decent selection is probably the LCBO at martin grove and the westway. It's not super close but like a 15 minute walk maybe, just south of the con.

I think anon is less focusing on the weather and more the long weekend, which would've coincidentally had better weather.
But I'd imagine that the long weekend is more expensive or was already booked

I'm not sure I wanna go in today since I need to go on sunday anyway
I'm not even THAT far, but I really should just get a hotel room next year, driving in every day is a pain. But I think the delta sells out like immediately, if I remember last year you couldn't book rooms yet a full year in advance, but by the time you could and I checked it was already booked up.

This isn't THAT bad at least? Probably just cloudy all day with a few sprinkles of rain.

If you weren’t an autismo, you could just ask anyone to pick you up.

>>10971754
I'd be surprise by someone willing to make an additional stop three times and so far away unless I was already on their path.
I only put up with driving because I get a hotel when I go. If there was a good train stop I wouldn't even bother with the hotel and save $100 or 3

Did the grill work out

Not sure what I expected but felt like there were more people sitting against walls than actually in the panels/shows

Do people really pay and go to these to take some photos and then leave? Or what do they do?

grill died

I don't necessarily attend many of the major panels, but the ones I do are pretty mid so attendance doesn't surprise me. I don't think they're out of whack with the quality of most other conventions, but still. If you're interested in getting like the most basic possible onboarding into some topic they might be good, but otherwise they're almost more show-and-tell than a real presentation in my opinion.
>>
I hope the Chito cosplayer from Friday went today in the same costume and took some pics out in the rain
>>
>>10971771
could be selection bias, since im sure some panels/shows were max capacity. plus since the weather was super bad, there were more people inside than previously. normally people would be roaming about outside

No one is posting anything because the weather was fucking awful and there is fuck all to do at the convention proper.

Well I had fun. Sucks this con is so weather dependant. But the truck, and the BBQ and shit were fun.
Hard to recommend tho, hotel cost way too much for how good it wasn't, and I can't say there was anything overly special another con hasn't done. Well the battlebots thing was pretty damn cool.

Gotta advertise for Animethon now. It's been a beast every time I've gone.

Nah, was never a thing before this year.

Was really just for Artist Alley vendors who wanted to sell 18+ stuff, so doujinshi seller didn't have to be in there.

Was organized like dogshit anyways, I talked to multiple vendors there and most of them were told last minute about it, guidebook didn't properly advertise them, and didn't even get their correct names for all of the booths.

Why does everyone come here expecting there to be new people to recruit into their circle? It's a safe bet that almost every post in this thread is by someone already in the discord, or someone from the /a/ group, and you all know each other already, so what's the point of coming here to pretend you don't know you're talking with each other? Unironically, wouldn't Reddit or AN forums be a better place to find new people or do you not want to interact with people who aren't terminally online?

>>
erm what are you planning to do with them
>>
>>10971943
The "/a/ group" is the /a/toronto guys who organize the main truck event with the Japanese DJs. I believe they've been active for 15+ years.

>I am not in the Discord.
The invite link is right above. You can check it out and leave if it's not your vibe. I know they are looking for more cosplayers and lolita to equalize the chud atmosphere of that server.

>I don't know what AN forums are
AN forums are dead with the exception of the Nominoichi board. The official AN discord is where you can get the most information nowadays.

AN forum: https://teahousemaplemoon.proboards.com/
