I’ll be cosplaying casual Leo (fire emblem), Gappy (jojolion), and Crow (persona5). Might also bring Akechi’s normal outfit or his DAN outfit to change into Saturday night just haven’t made up my mind yet.

Only have a couple of small things left to do for my cosplays and make a small prop, so it’s a relief not having a big con crunch this year.

I’ll probably swing by the Saturday meetup as well!

Considering Otakuthon is set in Quebec, most Canadians won't really give a shit. They'll think right away the Convention will be worse than what they've been to because they expect it to be in French alone. You can't expect that many seagulls either because of that

I'm actually surprised at the ratio of French and English panels and events. In Anime North, you either had lgbt or q&a with the barely existing panels worth going to, while in Otakuthon you had to choose which panels you felt like going most between all of them every hours. I had fun from start to finish compared to Anime North, and I'm gladly going back this year because of that

>> No.9958521

The panel ratio is really strange, it's not like Toronto has a larger proportion of LGBT than Montreal, is it?

It is, and the worst part is how the AN's staff favor lgbt folks that just want to discuss their genders and political agenda over those that truly wants to talk about anime and other things correlating to japanese shit

It’s not actually better. The good parts of otakuthon is that the area is in the middle of the city and sometimes the guests are good.

Otherwise it’s like trash. The convention center itself is meh, the dealers room is just the same old ppl from every con around, the panels are shit, the french ones are obviously an issue too for everyone else. The hotel space is ridiculous when it’s on the same weekend as other stuff, and while you can find smaller stuff or student housing to use, it’s pathetic. Also you guys seem to lack AC.

This year alone the con seems to be in the shitter with the lack of organization, it sounds like panels weren’t denied/allowed until the last minute for a lot of people. Same with fashion show stuff? Also the con hates jfash.

Just by having the venue all in one place, actual worthwhile guests, an actual attendence cap, more food choices, more anime panels, Otakuthon is way better. How could anyone say they’re the equally shit in good conscience? AN sucks entirely outside of partying and the number of attendees (which has unfortunately gotten TOO high now).

>> No.9958721

>>9958686
Sure, the president IS retarded and we've been saying that it's finally starting to catch up every year for the past 10 years. Truth is, I've seen delays like that and small fuck ups every year and the con is still going strong. I don't think the retardation at the top is finally catching up because the people at the bottom are too hardworking and like the con too much to willingly let the con turn to shit.

By this point, the machine is oiled so well that stupid decisions at the top don't have that much influence at the bottom.

Ouais, ça serait bon pour les panélistes si on augmenterait le valeur de remboursement, mais ça augmenterait aussi les coûts du festival. Des panels de bonne qualité peuvent attirer des gens à acheter/revenir, mais le coût du billet a un encore plus gros effet sur leur décision.

western shit doesn't belong in anime cons

>> No.9962681

I can see the argument for western movies/tv shows like supernatural, stranger things, friday the 13th, etc. But video games fall in line with anime, especially ones that have anime inspired motifs like overwatch/league. Especially considering every convention has a huge gaming center and LANs going.

May as well complain about people cosplaying avatar because it isn't made in Japan. Just next level autism.
