Anime North in preparation for this month. In case you’re new to the scene, the event gears towards those who love anime, dressing up as favorite anime characters, experience the atmosphere and get cool merchandise.

With this year’s Anime North quickly approaching on Fri, May 24th – Sun, May 26th, we look back at last year, the second year of the event since the end of the pandemic. As anyone would recall, organizing the event in post-pandemic was met with challenges and long lineups in the hot weather. Thankfully, next year was much better. We can all agree that after a rough few years with the global pandemic, the coordination was rusty before getting back on its feet.
