An overdue post about March Toronto Anime Convention which was happening on March 20-21, 2010. It was held by the same people who held annual Fan Expo on August and December Toronto Anime Convention (DTAC).

MTAC, DTAC and Fan Expo are always held at Metro Toronto Convention Center at Front Street West.

As I arrived at the location of MTAC, I was greeted by fellow otaku cosplayed as Kinoshita Hideyoshi. He is no other than Rin from koiaichaku.com. Awesome cosplay ^^b. It’s nicely done.

Since it’s a small convention, there weren’t many cosplayers that caught my eyes, however, there’s no way I would miss C.C.

Saw this another nice cosplay of Yuna from FFX-2 and Link.

One of my favourite cosplay during MTAC 2010. The guy from Left 4 Dead game. Does anyone L4D or L4D 2 ?

Crowds at March Toronto Anime Convention 2010

Taokaka from BlazBlue game. Very nice cosplay.

Rin owned everyone in “Anime that tune” (well not really, since the girl beside him was only 4 points behind), although, he couldn’t remember the ED of King of Bandit, Jing.

Another round of “Anime that Tune” game. Bridget decided to participate but the guy in the middle won.

Final round, the girl in the middle knows a lot so no surprise that she won this round.

My favourite Allen from D.Gray-man cosplayer that I always see in most anime conventions around Toronto. I saw him last year at MTAC 2009.

Megurine Luka from Vocaloid. I saw her at Anime North last year and her cosplay is always great.

Dealer room is always crowded. When’s ever not crowded anyways ^^?

Lacus Clyne in kimono. So kawaii….. ^^

It wouldn’t be anime convention without Chii from Chobits ^^, would it ?

Double Kinoshita Hideyoshi? Which one is the real one ?

Name this character ^^:;. I don’t play enough Zelda games >.<

Name these characters. I have no idea which series they are from. Beatrice and Battler Ushiromiya from Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Credit to Katakara).

Thoughts

MTAC and DTAC are always a small convention but it’s always a great reason to cosplay for those who enjoys cosplaying and for me, I was just glad that I was finally able to go out of my place and not working. Working for 3 straight weekends was very tiring and not to mentioned homeworks and quizzes so it was a great way to relax and refresh my self up.

Another small anime convention here in Toronto to warm us up before the big Anime North on May. The event is similar to DTAC (December Toronto Anime Con) that I attended back on December last year. More pictures below ^^.

Some pictures that I took from Metro Toronto Convention Centre (North Building). The glasses got in my way as it reflected myself so it felt like I took a picture of myself ^^.

A giant bird’s pecking the pole.

Crowds at the convention as I arrived.

Dealer’s room. Not as busy as I thought it would be. I had nothing to buy and nothing really interests (which is good). Before I went to the convention, I kept saying to myself that I hope I didn’t buy anything. Impulse buy is evil ^^.

Anime Flash game show where you have to guess anime or charaters that were revealed little by little as the time goes.

Some staffs were in the middle of preparing ‘Anime that Tune’ where Rin and I went.

The first batch of contestants were testing their skills against each other in guessing anime songs. The middle guy easily owned the rest. Everytime he answered, he mentioned the name of the song, which opening, from which anime and the artist, thus , he got more points. The game is pretty simple, the more you can tell the judge about a song, the more you get points.

The second batch was pretty much even in term of their song knowledge, although, the middle girl is slightly more knowledgable than the rest and she won this round.

The final batch was an unfair competition because the left guy owned the rest and he is quite well-know for his knowledge in anime songs.

The final round was previous rounds winners against each other. I was predicting that either the left and the right guy will be the winner. The glasses guy surely was the winner.

The middle girl had probably the best reaction everytime she knew the song that was played and pressed the buzzer.

Some cosplayers that I took pictures off.

Arguably, he is probably the best ‘Clown Form’ Allen from D.Grayman I have ever seen. I saw him at DTAC back on December and noticed that he added the Demon eyes.

Not sure what these 2 girls were doing and I was hoping something interesting might happen but unfortunately, nothing happened ^^;.

Oh yes, finally a Fate/Stay Night cosplayer. Where is my Saber?????

Dealer’s room at the end of the day.
