With only about 80 days left till the convention, the team here at Ganbatte are becoming eager to see all of your cosplays!

If you haven’t finished putting your cosplay together just yet, we hope this next guest announcement gives you some inspiration.

Meggii is both a cosplayer and artist, based out of Regina. She specializes in kawaii-cute characters ranging across a large spectrum of video games, comics, anime, and all other forms of media.

Relatively new to the cosplay world, she has already made a name for herself and draws attention at any convention she attends. Having only been professionally cosplaying for just under 2 years, she has gained a strong following on her social media due to her character accuracy, years of wig styling and costume making experience, as well as her quirky personality.

APRIL FOOLS! We know we said we were raising the ticket prices today but we wanted to prank you all and give you one more day to get tickets if you haven’t yet! ❤️

Get them here:

It’s similar to the prank where your dad asks you to look in a bottle of water and suddenly you end up soaked! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Only Ganbatte won’t give you wet hair, just thicker wallets. 👏🏻👏🏻

A dying alien released his cursed pencil of doom to seek his replacement. In this strange time of Saturday morning cartoons and bagged milk, the pencil sought out a new champion… Nathen Wahl. The pencil revealed that whoever holds this pencil if they are worthy, shall be granted the powers of the BONE DADDY! Armed with these strange new cosmic powers, Nathen “Bone Daddy” Wahl used his cursed gift to create “Joe Zombie” the worlds greatest Zombie! Soon the pencil transformed all his twisted thoughts and Zap Girl, the Vixen of Science Fiction, was born. But the curse would come back to haunt him. Now Nathen and his Left Hand of Doom will forever roam the prairies as the “Zombie King” of Saskatoon! Find more on Nathen and his creation “Joe Zombie” here~!! - Capn~

Calling all teachers, youth coordinators, daycares, and pretty much anyone who works at a facility with children or young adults!

A ton of youngsters love japanese culture, cosplay, comic books and more, help them learn about Ganbatte so they can make some like minded friends!

All you have to do is go to our get involved page and print out a poster to hang at your work:

Spread The Word - Ganbatte Anime Convention

Ganbatte means “do your best” in Japanese and while we volunteers do our best hanging posters sometimes we could use a hand getting a bit more marketing out to new attendees. All tickets sold for Ganbatte go right back into making the convention better for the community each year so all the volunteers and attendees really appreciate it!
