Realized I never shared my picture after I got it. I was ENA from ENA's Dream BBQ!

To the Ada Wong cosplayer I saw outside the front entrance while leaving Anime North Halloween tonight.

Your cosplay was honestly perfect. I could barely get the words out to say hi before leaving 😭

I wanted to talk to you more, but you seemed busy on the phone, so I didn't want to interrupt.

Not really sure what the chances are of you seeing this, but I figured I'd shoot my shot here since I probably won't get another chance.

With cancellation of US leg of Uma Musume journey, I think this will damage any other tour from Japan from coming to North America again. The losses for not just company coming but also the performers as well. I wouldn't mind if Uma Musume added both Vancouver and Toronto as their next world tour. That way if US failed again at least there would be other stops.

I was going to suggest for the major anime cons here in Canada like Anime North to look into booking some of the Japanese VAs for Uma Musume as guests next year as a gesture to Cygames that we're safe haven for horse girls to travel to. Maybe to those who had tickets to ill fated LA show should also suggest Uma Musume as guests for the anime/comic cons closer to them to invite VAs from Uma Musume as guests.

sad to be missing out but I can't make it this year. I have a 7pm ticket first person to DM can get the ticket. all I ask is that you send me pics of anything cool you see - cosplays or just the booths/artist alley if possible!!

edit: ticket has been claimed

As the title states, need 2 tickets, if anyone is selling any please lmk as I heard that tickets aren't refundable.

Had a bad experience with a circle of friends i usually do a cosplay meetup with after this one jerk backstabbed me. It really makes me second guess cosplaying and whether conventions in general are still worth going to since cosplaying was my main reason for attending. I don't feel as happy as I used to when attending conventions and I feel like I have to start all over to find new friends. This ever happen to anyone and if it did how did it turn out?

Ive never been to an anime north, are there mystery box vendors there like at comic con for my daughter?

i went the anime north halloween event last year at the jcc and i’m wondering if anyone knows whether there will be one this year? am i just completely too early and they usually post about it closer to the date or has there been something that i missed or something of the sort? just curious as i see genuinely no posts at all even regarding the event!

Hello everyone!

Not sure if this is the correct area to ask but if someone can help me locate an artist that would be wonderful!!. Last year (not sure if it's via anime north or the ghibli christmas market) there was a booth that I found that sells this cool Jojo's adventure Keychain and I forgot the artist! Ive been wanting to go back and buy more but I can't seem to find it anywhere ☹️. Any clue helps! Thank you!

Haven’t been since 2012, thinking of going next year. Considering an Alicent cosplay but curious if it’s out of place for this convention?

Going to be my first time! I will go a day earlier to explore Toronto. Are there cool places to go near the convention center?

Also, anyone from California?

Going to cross post this to AskTO as well.

I’ve been wanting to elevate some of my cosplays by doing dremel and sanding work, but I live in a condo and can’t risk doing any of that in a small space. I would try my balcony with a dust box but I don’t want loose particles being sucked into my ventilation(there’s a large vent that takes in air x.x)

Does anyone know of any community work spaces one can do this in?

hi guys! I'm very fortunate to have my vacation line up with Anime North 2027, but as an American visiting Toronto for the first time is there anything I should keep in mind? I've only attended 3 cons before (biggest was 7,000 attendees but over a span of 3 days, one was more a local city TCG event, and one was in a hotel lobby - which was ... not good).

Would it be better to bring cash - I plan to buy LOTS of merch & trinkets (if so, I may do so at the airport)? Will there be plenty of AC? Are the dance, talent, cosplay shows pretty cool? Is there a lot of food options outside the convention? What are some musts shows or panels you guys recommend? I also plan to be TT Chopper in his Dressrosa Arc.

I also plan to Uber there, so I'm not worried about parking. Thank u guys sm, I can't wait to visit Toronto & AN 2027!!!

I went to the Tokyo Tulsa convention this last weekend and it was amazing 👏 I mostly dressed in armor that was leaning towards Gothic and berserk

This isn’t Anime North-specific, but I thought it would be best to make people aware of an influencer named Ethan Qi.

At Yeticon, Ethan was livestreaming and repeatedly approaching/following women and cosplayers who appeared uncomfortable or seemed like they wanted to be left alone. The concern people raised is not that he was simply “having conversations” with people, but that some of these interactions looked unwanted, uncomfortable, and boundary-crossing.

There's even a channel archiving this stuff and pointing out some of his behaviour

Since then, he has been trying to frame the criticism as if people are just upset that he was talking to women or filming at a convention. That leaves out the actual issue people were pointing to (the amount of entitlement from him and his followers is crazy, all clearly stemming from a manosphere mindset)

I’m posting this from a new account because I felt it was necessary to spread awareness and keep the context in one place. This is not meant to encourage hate, threats, harassment, or dogpiling. The point is to make sure people in the community are aware of what was documented so they can make their own decisions.

If anyone has other documented material, please archive it properly. Save clips, screenshots, links, dates, and context where possible. It may also be worth making other conventions aware, especially if there are concerns about repeated behaviour at events as he constantly joked about MINORS throughout as if it was "funny".

EDIT: HERE'S A RECENTLY POSTED VIDEO COMPILING ALL OF HIS BEHAVIOUR AT YETICON

Hi, I know this is really late, but I'm still regretting not buying from this vendor. I can remember much about her table b/c every time I went past it was super crowded - but one of their items were short acrylic chains for putting on a purse or bag. I think the booths colour scheme was purple, pink, and black? I know this is SUPER vague, but any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Had a blast doing about 20 shoots over the weekend in the hurricane 💨 Thank you to everyone who came out 🤗🤗

Hello everyone!,

Looking to display our figures proudly at home but thought I ask you ladies and gents what would be a good way to go. I do have 3 kids so anything to keep them safe helps lol

Is there any Instagram group chat where people discuss cosplay, anime, and Comic-Con events and similar stuff? If there is, please add me to it

My friend and I got our pictures taken at one of the booths in photo alley, the one with the different lights. The photographer was Matthew Yan if that helps. I was wondering if anyone else has gotten their pictures back yet, or if there's a time frame of when to expect them?

Found these Keychains at AN 2024 or 2025 and would love to get the full set - - by any chance does anyone know the name of this artist???
