UlasanAnime.com – The author is embracing the spontaneous decision to attend Otakuthon 2016, Montreal’s premier anime convention. The primary motivation for attending is to see Atsuko Tanaka, but the allure of exploring the city and reconnecting with friends also plays a significant role in this YOLO (You Only Live Once) adventure.

The convention boasts an impressive lineup of guests. Notable figures include Takeshi Obata, the renowned mangaka behind popular Shonen JUMP titles, and the musical group Back-On. Arina Tanemura, the creator of “Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne” and other works, is also slated to appear. Rounding out the guest list are several producers from A-1 Pictures and an individual from Bannam.
The current plan is to make a brief visit to the convention before heading back. A significant factor influencing this decision is the author’s existing connections with people from the Montreal area, forged through previous activities. Attending Otakuthon presents a convenient opportunity to reunite with these friends. Furthermore, this will be the author’s inaugural visit to Montreal, adding another layer of anticipation to the trip.
Interestingly, the excitement for local culinary delights, such as poutine and bagels with smoked meats, seems to be rivaling, if not surpassing, the anticipation for the convention itself.
