From the activity in this thread and in the Canada one, it feels like no one is going to Otakuthon, despite being talked about so much. How many are going and is there a meetup or anything?
Literally driving in from Fredericton on Friday morning.

Fyi for those of you coming from out of town to attend Otakuthon and is looking for cheap booze, than I recommend you check out Costco.

2/3 cosplays done but I'm scared for my last one. Extra sad because I'll have no props either and be basic af. I'm happy though because my boyfriend doesn't have to be bored and he can just chill in the gaming room.
Let us know if there's a meet up

>>9574667
>>9574841
We have to organize the meetup, and for that we have to wait for the schedule to come out.

Generally it's something like 8/9/10pm Friday and Saturday though. Is gachi anon around? Help make sure the meetup doesn't conflict with your panel!

It's cool to see Otakuthon's development since I first went in 2010. Can usually see the growth every year.
Also, maybe I'm just not into the crowd they're aiming at but the guests this year don't feel as strong as usual. Probably just ignorance on my part though.

I've came the last three years but I'm always nervous to come meet you guys. 3/3 cosplays done, moved out of Canada but I'm coming up this year from PA.

tfw dont need to buy a ticket since I live very close to the con

>>9575097
Nah, I'm feeling it too. Apart from man with a mission there's no one I really care about. Way less Japanese guests compared to previous years. Can't top the death note guy so maybe they decided to hold back? Lol

>>9575924
Idk what that has to do with buying a pass but you do you

>>9576100
Maybe they meant a train or plane ticket?

>>9576100
I only care about Ayako Kawasumi for the Ushiromiya Lion. Otherwise it's nothing on my part. Never heard Man With A Mission, though. I may listen to stuff within the week and maybe I'll have the fortune of ending up a fan.

have fun guys, otakuthon is too rich for my blood this year. that 289$/night hotel price before tax per night... oochie mama.

>>9576200
>hotel
University housing is where it's at this year.

>>9576100
i meant I won't have to buy an admission ticket since I can just walk across the street for a few minutes and see the main lobby. not much ever happens above

>>9576200

this is why I'm so happy to have family in Quebec. Sure it's a 30 minute subway ride but to me it's so worth saving 400+ $

>>9576200
I'm staying with a friend of mine, saves a lot of cash if you've got French friends.

>>9576786
>>9577355
Man I live an hour away by public transport and with several bulky cosplays commuting just isn't an option rip monies

I know nothing about the con other than the fact that man with a mission is coming, hopefully the schedule is nice

I feel sorry for you guys. Im paying $350~ for 2 nights at the Holiday Inn with parking. Where are you guys getting all these high numbers from?

est-ce qu'il y a quelques locaux ici ou juste des touristes?

>>9577643
Local but my French is shite lmao

>>9577641
I don't remember whether I'm at the embassy or holiday inn but it's something like $1200~ for 3 nights, the other would have been $1300~. Are you just talking about your cut of the weekend? Or in total??

this anon is right, this is the best thing to do when it comes to Montreal. I got myself a place just ten minutes from the convention

http://www.otakuthon.com/2017res/pdf/2017-PrelimSchedule.pdf

Schedule is out! Made a poll for meetup times. Personally leaning toward's 8pm Friday and/or Saturday at 10pm. Not sure if we have enough interest for 2 meetups though.

http://www.strawpoll.me/13580972

>>9580656
I'm looking around quick but if anyone finds Ayako Kawasumi time here please share. Thank you. Will mention if I find it.

Okay I found it. 11:30 AM to 12:45 PM on Sunday.

also reminder the hong kong bakery beside the con in china town sells dank as fuck buns for under 2$

>>9581010
It's like renting an airbnb relax dude.

Is it odd that my biggest hype is the possible meetups and the fact that I'll be able to eat some decent asian meals? Since New Brunswick has none.

Are there any particular activities you'd strongly recommend? I might be with a friend or two but it's more likely that I'd go on my own.

I paid for the weekend pass and I live pretty close so I can make multiple trips no problem.

HALL VIGER IS CLOSED BOIS. PULLIN A MCC. Pink trees apparently blocked off too

On one hand I'm happy its filtering out the creeps and normies
On the other. Rip. So many people i know ghost it

>>9581303
we could just meet where the sofas before the entrance is, or possibly at the tims. Unsure.

Have we decided on a time yet?

>I'll be able to eat some decent asian meals?
eh no montreal has a tiny chinese population compared to vans/tdot like its pretty much impossible to get something as simple as a real dim sum restaurant china town has become dilapidated since over a decade ago

>>9581915
Chinese no but Vietnamese yes.
Also Chinese pop. Is pretty large in MTL, just not as large as Toronto

>>9581987
I think its around 50k which is tiny for a city of 4m also most of them live in the south shore now

>>9581987
>Vietnamese yes
There aren't any really good Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown though so I doubt anon will be able to eat it at the meetup.

>>9581303
Pink trees is where the new registration is, I think. We could do like >>9581311 said. http://www.strawpoll.me/13580972/r are the popular times so far.

on saturday at 22h local time, la ronde got their last final firework show for the summer so if you're a fan of firework and there's nothing good going on for you at the convention around that time, you'll have a nice time watching that. Me and my buddies are planning to see it on the jacque cartier bridge and then hit up the convention again or get some sleep

>>9582657
Yo that's a great idea

>>9581206
Seagulls p-pls respond

>>9583091

You can always check http://www.otakuthon.com/2017res/pdf/2017-PrelimSchedule.pdf

If nothing fancy you, there's always vidya gaems

>>9583099
Are there any ones that are particularly better than the others usually?
My first time was last year but I only went to buy merch and look at the cosplay a bit.

>>9583107

Can't really say since it's gonna be my first time to this con so your best bet is to get a pamphlet and check what you want to do at x hour, anon

You can pretty much go into any panels and fuck off to another one if it shit, or go from places to places to see how things go, I'm sure there's gonna be shit you'll like, but you'll be the only judge of your tastes man. At best you can always go and enjoy the cringe at some panels for greentext

So, any event recommendations from people who've actually been there before?

>>9583292
The concerts are nice if you don't mind paying extra for the ticket. Masq always has pretty impressive costumes if that's your thing but make sure you line up or you most likely won't get in. Cosplay cafe up on the top floor is worth a visit if you're in cosplay for the cute terrace photos, food there is passable but overpriced and you're better off going to Chinatown for buns. Dealers and AA are decently stocked but it's the same shit you see every other con. As for panels, never really been my thing but if the name sounds vaguely interesting you lose literally nothing by going. Bad fanfiction is usually pretty solid. If you want to cringe out of your skin the 16+ impossible positions contest and fanservice contest was mentally scarring. I'm going to check out the gachimuchi panel to support a fellow seagull.

Most of the time though I just like to chill on the con floor and look at all the pretty cosplay. Paying 300$ to hang out with friends ayy

where are some great restaurants to hit up in montreal while i'm there? last year I went to sumo ramen and little sheep hot pot in chinatown, those were both great, and i also got some fucking bomb ass breakfast at a place called universel uptown

What was your favorite year for otakuthon?

>>9584064
I've been going since 2014 and I think I'd say my favorite year was 2015.

>>9583347

Au Pied du Cochon for super rich and delicious French food, featuring mostly duck, foie gras and maple syrup.
http://aupieddecochon.ca/?lang=en

Schwartz's Deli for Montreal Smoked Meat sandwiches
https://schwartzsdeli.com/ca/en/

St. Viateur Bagels for the most exquisite bagels. Honestly, they were so delicious I bought 4 dozen to take home.
http://www.stviateurbagel.com/

Au Kouign-Amann quaint little bakery featuring baked goods based on their namesake. They also have awesome croissants
https://www.fb.com/Au-Kouign-Amann-130216647050155/

La Banquise for poutine.
http://labanquise.com/

Not a particularly glamorous restaurant, though I think worthwhile to mention due to it's proximity to the con is Maison du Magret. It's a good solid French bistro featuring almost entirely duck for their menu. Their foie gras sauce is TO DIE FOR!?
http://www.maisondumagret.com/en/

>>9584245

No it's overrated trash. Poutineville is better

Anyone coming tomorrow?

>>9584540

no go to the main schwartz is over rated as fuck and had/has a rat/mouse problem forever no joke seen a rat chewing on a smoked turkey in the front window at 5am once
>>9584253
dem be fight'in words

so the best bang of your buck meal wise is romados personal I find the chicken to be shit ever since they stopped using a flat grill/stopped offering a lot stuff also RIP 50c day old bread

but getting a half chicken passion fruit soda and a threeandahlf plus a 40oz of blue 10.1 and going to tamtam is something everyone should do if you'd like to make the night last longer add in 1-2g of mushrooms per person and go walk on the mountain at night without a flashlight/hop the fence to the swimming pool and go skinny dipping

I regretted not buying a Final Fantasy ticket when purchasing my weekend pass. I was wondering if any anons here would want to sell me one?

>>9584806
Can't you just buy a ticket at registration?

Should I bother with screenings?
I can't help but guessing it would be either super fun or fucking obnoxious.

>>9585031
Concert tickets are only online and preorder iirc.

>>9585107
>This year Otakuthon is bringing you three exiting concerts; one on each day of the event.
>A limited number of tickets will be available for purchase 3 hours before the show at registration. A valid registration is required.

On the preregistration page now tho

>>9585305

I just came back from the convention for the tickets, not too bad. I only had to wait around 30 minutes

Wait until tomorrow to get things going. At least there's the internet free when you go there, so i might be able to come to the meet up

pick none

>>9586989

Where are the good 2B's? It's another basic butch flavour of the month cosplay but I guess wearing tank tops and shorts with a shitty highlighter wig is easier.

Anyways, is it just me or was today not crowded at all? The line felt longish but the Friday of last year was sooo much more crowded.

>>9586562
I've been through artists' alley twice and haven't seen any Friends either. Dissapointing

>>9587016
yup

>>9587017
come to meet ups, talk with others in line

If anyone wants to try for meetup round 2, 10pm tonight at the pink trees? Right at the end, the big wall between the end of the trees and the door. It's usually empty as fuck there tho I don't know if more than like 5 people are interested

>>9586819
I saw vickybunnyangel as 2b yesterday was bretty gud

>>9587054
Probably bc all the normies were filtered out of hall viger. Shows how many ghosters were there lol

>>9587308
10pm is right when the rave and Otakurock starts. 8 or 9pm is probably a better time for some people.

Morning guys, any Kancolle photoshoots today? I brought my KC Lawson nobori banner with me. But if there is no KC photoshoot I won't bring it out due to how big and bulky it is.

Shit, I don't think I can make this one, with a normish friend.

Post pic of meetup. I dont want to approach normies thinking its 4chan people.

At trees, looking around

Picture of where to go please

>>9587902
We are at the trees

im at pink trees where u guys at. I carry a large kancolle banner with me.

Is the meetup with the weeaboos or moonman and the slavs?

>>9587916
The slavs

>>9587916
weaboos with kancolle banner, not moonman/slavs

You think there would be overlap between the two groups, but apparently not?

I creeped for a bit but ultimately Slav vs Boat scared me off
Maybe if you don't wander too far from the convention centre I can grab a discord link or something

I went to the Otakuthon meet up not last year, but the year before. That meet up was a mix of cosplayers and shitposters this year was mostly shitposters. But they were all good dudes, chill group. Had a good time.

>>9587845

>tfw was there
>tfw no internet unless i chill downstair for the free wifi

Im in the rave but not sure if anyone is joining im just chilling with a jojohat in the chairs if anyone is at the rave please approach me and talk at the rave in the seats with a few finger lights. Please we are just chilling if you want to drink a little.

>>9588011
This rave is pretty mediocre if you see a group of people jamming to a jukebox after party in the convention im there. Either way hope everyone had a good con regardless.

I fucking loved and I mean LOVED that panel. It had a really fun feel at the very end, almost magical to be surrounded by crazy weebs defending their waifus.

Guzma was so adorable, I wish he loved me that much.

Is there a memebook page or something where they post pics of this year's best cosplays or do I have to go watch the summit?

I hope there's gonna be one next year, if so I might participate

I liked the Initial D screening too, I couldn't see the subtitles at all but it made me realize how much better my wapanese has gotten so that's nice

Anyone happen to have taken a picture of me? I was a female skull grunt with a team skull Pikachu on my hip. Had a bunch of pics taken but didn't think to ask for a copy like the noob I am.

I liked it, there was some folks in there that never watched those before and everyone had a good laugh in the end

I came in expecting some information about the cast, discussion about the videos, seeing some of the original lewd shit and overall a room filled with fujoshi, but I'm a faggot who enjoy watching these videos again and again

You guys said you couldn't make it to Anime North, which is surprising considering they had a whole hotel for this kind of shit

Its because their organization is absolute garbage.

Fingers (one of the head panel guys) told us we got the panel about a week before AN and a day before the schedule came out. Needless to say there was miscommunication and the panel wasnt there.

Maybe next year for AN. and we'll have a much better panel for sure, comin more prepared.

>it's the yearly post-otakuthon depression episode

>>9589200
This year had an especially nice atmosphere, too. I'm already going super sad right now.

>>9589185
Can confirm, having to deal with Peter, who happens to be the logistics director, is a fucking nightmare.

You have to send a dozen emails to a dozen different directors to get anything fucking done and it's going to be late no matter what, no matter who you're trying to deal with. It somehow always ends up going on smooth but fucks sakes setup and teardown is a nightmare every year.

>>9589173
Good enough for me, thanks so much!!

Mfw feels like I wasted the con. Every day was scramble to get ready on time, end up late anyways, just shooting all day then waddling back to my hotel room to die. I definitely still had fun but with so many shoots piling up I ended up missing almost every panel I wanted to go to, the meetups, all the good cosplay on Saturday and was too exhausted to party hard :^( Mwam was lit at least.

>>9589968
Navito booth actually had a few new releases at MFC listed prices

Specifically the Ima=Real statues that me and another guy bought simultaneously, but I only found it because i was looking in vain for super rare prize figures

>>9588020
i for one absolutely loved it, i learned new stuff, saw new gachimuchi content, and only went into it expecting what they do for the anime showings but with gachimuchi videos.

Yeah I was Yasu above but everyone was calling me Beatrice (it's my first cosplay). I'm surprised there was more Umineko than Higurashi but that trend'll probably continue since I'm going as Erika next year and already have someone preparing to cosplay Will with me.

>>9590356

Ever been to a late night screening? Watching porn and laughing at it with a group of people is fun. Not like there's much else to do after midnight at anime cons.

>>9589893
Let me guess... the anime in Hollywood panel was a bunch of people whining about GitS and Death Note and evolved into a bunch of white nerds whining about whitewashing?

Before this thread dies down for good : see you guys next year ;_;

Went here with my friend this year, pretty much only for IA.
First time in Montreal, or outside of ON in canada, so it was a really nice experience. I enjoyed the city itself way more than the con.
If any of you live there, you all live in a really nice city. The rain sucked though, but the poutine more than made up for it.

>>9590692
What do you like about it? Living there; for me it's ordinary.

>>9590695
Go travel, we live in one hell of a place.

>>9590695
Its so much cleaner and brighter than TO for starters. Nighttime in the downtown for montreal was way more happening than Toronto, so much shit going on at once it was insane. So much old buildings and the big park with the gardens was really nice. I mean sure you guys also have a bit of trashy areas but its a lot more manageable than TO's, which is sketchy almost everywhere you go.

Yeah, Montreal in general is pretty nice. They have a shit ton of events as long as you bother to check what is happening around the city. Hell, they even have a whole underground city to see

There's a lot of fun shit to do, and they even have some places that are completely free to visit

I never gave a shit about conventions until this year, so i only went to Anime north and this one

It's, like, so hard to choose, man. The only thing you can really argue is that AN has more/better cosplay and more/better room parties.
