(1/2) !!! Sky is amazing ahhh!! Thank you for the info, I'll be bookmarking that page for sure haha! Anyway, since my friend and I will still be in school in May, we'll probably be going on either the Saturday or the Sunday. Darn, I was hoping to see the khr panel OTL. As for the photoshoot....what's a photoshoot? I'm guessing there's photos, but, ah, is it fan-organized? Any guesses to the date? (and with that in mind, if we can only go for one day, would you recommend Sat or Sun?)

(2/2) For buying a lunch, are there restaurants nearby? My friend and I will probably be subwaying there since we live a few hours from downtown. And I'm glad to hear you're doing okay! Can definitely relate though, been dying over school lately. I'm in grade 12 this year so I spent Dec/Jan applying and picking university programs, while Feb was spent writing my many supplementary essays/apps. //shudders// March break is in a week though, so I do have that to look forward to!

I’m so glad I was able to help :3 I’d completely forgotten that high schoolers still have school in May XD College/Uni lets out in April, so that’s one thing I luckily don’t have to worry too much about.

But anyways yeah, the photoshoot is fan-organized and is basically exactly what it sounds like. The con organizers allocate a time slot and place for the fans to gather and take pics of the cosplayers. With a fandom like khr, it’s pretty small, but it was lotsa fun and it ended up getting really silly last year XD It’s a more casual, and more intimate way of interacting than the panel is (though that’s only with the smaller fandoms. You shoulda seen the one piece photoshoot holy shit!! It was crazy!!)

Natsu and I got a lot of hilarious pics at last year’s khr panel, though I don’t think I ever actually got around to posting them....

This scene was especially hilarious XD You can tell the cosplayers couldn’t keep the smiles off their faces either.

Last year, the photoshoot was on Sunday.

And honestly, I think both Saturday and Sunday are good days for different reasons.

Saturday tends to be the busiest day because it’s the first full day of the con. It’s when a lot of the bigger panels happen, and there are more prints and stuff available in artists’ alley and in the dealers’ room.

On Sunday though, things get sold out, but there are also some artists that have sales for leftover prints they have that, and it’s less busy than Saturday, so less pushing and shoving. Personally, I say y’all should go on Sunday.

For restaurants, the ones that immediately come to mind for me are Tims, Boston Pizza, and A&W. There are a few smaller restaurants around there too, including a japanese place.

But gosh, I understand how stressful applying for uni can be. My lil bro is also in grade 12 this year and it was so stressful helping him with it XD

I-I fell asleep yesterday LMAO. But ah! Thank you for your advice! I'mma discuss it with my friend ehehe. I have music lessons on Sat anyway so this way I won't have to miss that. And oooo! A Chrome? I'll be going as Tsuna this year (my wig arrived yesterday though it looks a bit different than what I had hoped OTL) and my friend will be going as Reborn. (adding on to that, I saw in the pictures that Reborn has a toy gun. Is that allowed at AN?) And yeah it was very stressful! Ugh, glad its done

Don’t worry, I fell asleep too XDDD 

Weapon props are generally allowed, but you have to make sure to check them in at the prop check when you enter, or else you could get in lotsa trouble!!! I’m like 99% sure that a toy gun like that won’t give anyone any problems, especially if you leave the orange tip on the end, but it’s better to be safe than sorry!

The con does start at 8 o clock, so if there are any early panels you want to go to, make sure you’re on time!! Oh, and remember that the subway opens at 8 on Sundays >3> Natsu and I had forgotten about that last year so we ended up being late and missing the Haikyuu panel T^T

Taking Attendance

For those of you keeping track at home, we had 29959 attendees come to Anime North 2016.  We haven't received word on a "warm bodies" count.   Though, with everyone putting their all into making a great weekend, we might as well have been zombies at the end.
