Anyone going?
This is my first time going to AN... so I expect it to be very very fun!
also I plan to 'attempt' to cover the convention via http://www.animenorth.cjb.net

Can't wait...

All I have to do now is get some money....

Well if you are looking for Sci-fi... there is Toronto Trek in July. But the one I'm refering to is The Canadian National Comic Book Expo/ Sci-Fi Expo/Anime Expo. Which takes place in August in Downtown Toronto at the Metro Toronto Convention Center (which is right beside the CN Tower).

Near Shoppers World... IE: Steeles and Hurontario/Main St

no i want to go there for the anime mostly, but i ahve a feelign my parent's (actualy my mother) would object to that since she saw the 1:30 attempted rape scene in Winge of honneamise and probably thinks all anime is porn because of that.

Cn Anime is not as good as Anime North....

At Cn the anime section is the smaller of the three....and there usually isn't all that much Anime stuff to buy in the dealers room...

Anime North I have always though of as more fun XD

And about the panels..yeah we know the second on is schedualed over that...but it may or may not be changed ^^

isn't it a general rule of thumb not to go to a con with your wallet unless your the "Conan of Haggelers"?

That remains to be seen, in my case... I have never been to Anime North

I disagree about that... Posters (a large amount of Posters), Action figs, Scrolls, CDs, Manga, Vids/DVDs, Some Drawing Books, Plush stuff and the sort... there is alot of stuff to buy, but not as many boots as their are comic booths!

At CNanime I have yet to not have a blast... I've been going since 97... and each year I have fun!

Hopfully, about the panel, I wouldn't want to miss neither.

Is there a forum for Anime North? I thought there was one last year, but can't seem to find it this time.

Hey, thanks for the link. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to the con. This month (and last) is turning out to be really busy for various reasons <head spinning...>.

I'll be there, probably wearing my Hide T-shirt *ahem* yes ^_^; Hide Pride (rest his soul)...where were we? oh yes the con...^^; Umm...I can't wait to go, i've been couting the days for about 3 months now...and only 8 short school days left! oh the joy..And I agree with Hakura that Anime North IS much more enjoyable than CNAnime...for one thing it took me and a friend about 2 hours in line ^^;; (forgot to pre-register) *ahem*...and they had more bootlegs and it's corporate run O.O; needless to say I didn't enjoy it much, was only there for an hour. But anyways I want to meet Will this year because his Sailor Mars video is still my favorite AMV of all time...
