Anime North 2008 Day 3

Author: Saku

27 May

South Side of TCC on Day 3

Empty Parking on the north side of TCC on Day 3

Last of day Anime North, I wish it didn’t have to end so quickly but I had an amazing this year. I woke up around 9am and took a shower and all that crap then left to TCC. I got a nice parking spot this time, it was just right by entrance. Last day of Anime North is always much less crowded compare to Day 1 or 2. Parking area was pretty much empty.

One million Comix booth where I got my Caren Hortensia and Banana is a snack? figures

Yuri and Yaoi booth where they sell some dakimuras on Day 1

Since today is the last day, I went to the dealer room and hoping I can score some good deals from those stores. I stopped by at one million comix and AnimeXtreme booths and looking at the figures they were selling. I checked prices for their figures using my iphone since I have a data plan so I have internet access which is awesome for price checking and bargaining ^__^ purpose. I got my self 3 figures and been holding myself back from spending too much beyond my budget.

Being on the 3rd day, there are a lot of interesting stuff happened outside TCC ^^.

@soonkiong: I was kinda picky with the cosplayers because I only took pictures those with nice cosplays ^^. On Day 1, that same tamaki figure was $80 -_-;;. I was glad that I waited until the next day

omg, i went to anime north this year too, it was awesome! my first year there. really confusing when we first got there but it turned out ok. we went there on the first day, about 2-4 hours before they opened registering and there were still alottta ppl there:P ive gotta try and convince my mom to go next year too;Plol, it drove her insane…too many ppl…not very interesting…blah blah blah…IT RULES

@Danielle: Must have been really exciting for you since it was your first time at Anime North. It’s better if you pre-register few months before for instance, in February so you can avoid line ups and get it for cheaper.

If you pre-register, you can pick up your badge the day before the convention. It will be a line up but not as bad as on Friday or Saturday.

Are you going to Fan Expo this month ?
Chantii September 3rd, 2008 at 12:44 am 17
do you have anymore pictures from the Anime North 2008 convention?

My friends and i were the Noah Family (from D.Gray Man) and i’m still trying to find a good group picture of all of us together. By chance would you have one?

Thankies !!!
Saku September 3rd, 2008 at 1:45 pm 18
@Chantii: I am sorry. That’s all the photos I have from 3 days of Anime North. I don’t remember taking a picture of Noah family. I know I would have taken it if I see you and your friends
Chantii September 4th, 2008 at 3:39 pm 19
Oh, that’s alright. Thank you, though. Although, if you know of anyone who may have please direct them my way

Thanks!!!!!!!!
Saku September 4th, 2008 at 10:44 pm 20
Will do ^^
