  Attention all cosplayers! Otakuthon is excited to announce that the World Cosplay Summit has promoted Canada to full participating nation status! This year's winners will be the first Canadian duo to compete against cosplayers from around the world in the 2016 WCS Championship in Japan!More details here.

I'm super hyped already 8D


So, anyone else here excited and/or planning on attending?

I had considered it, but it's too close to AN and I have no one to bunk with...

Three and a bit weeks late, but I finally updated the topic.




Cool. Will you be cosplaying?

My cosplay? I'll either be going as Ed from Fullmetal Alchemist (I bought a costume on Ebay 3-4 years ago and have been wearing it there since), or a neat random not-quite-cosplay idea I had.

Fullmetal alchemist! †¢0†¢ That's awesome. I'll be there as well. Less than 2 months left!

Hehe, I'll definitely be there on Sunday for FLOW. Will be my first convention in Canada >

Whooo! Just found a confirmation-ish that Fakku will be there this year! https://store.fakku.net/conventions. Can't wait, actually.
If they do things like before and sell their books at the same price in Canadian dollars, they end up being around half the price you'd pay buying them online.



Where are you coming in from? First time in Montreal?

Hbu?



Haha, I'm coming from DC in the USA. Got family I plan to visit that weekend and just so happened to find out about FLOW playing live there :D I have been to Montreal a few times in my life, fondest memories being the anime store that is near the entrance of Chinatown, has a huge flight of stairs, and that smoked meat place

Just to be certain, you know that tickets to the flow concert are 10$ and available during pre-registration only, right?
