I’m not particularly knowledgeable about Anime, and I won’t be around Toronto next weekend (I’ll be at C2E2), but I should remind people that this upcoming weekend at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre is the annual 2-day March break Toronto AnimeCON that most anime people and cosplayers seem to refer to as MTAC.
Saturday : 11:00am – 6:00pm
Sunday : 11:00am – 5:00pm
ADMISSION
Flat rate admission $15.00 for Saturday and/or Sunday. Children age 10 and under admitted FREE with adult ticket purchase! (proof of age required)
Note: It’s a pay one price fee — that is, if you go early Saturday you get 2 full days access. If you go Sunday only, the price is the same so going early is the best value.
SPECIAL GUESTS
Professional voice actors from your favourite anime shows will be on hand to sign autographs, take pictures and answer questions.
