Masahiko ŌTSUKA, president of Studio TRIGGER, at Nadeshicon!

Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you! Masahiko ŌTSUKA, president and co-founder of Studio TRIGGER, is Nadeshicon 2020’s guest of honour!

Even before founding Studio TRIGGER, ŌTSUKA has worked on several eternal classsics, such as Neon Genesis Evangelion and GURREN LAGANN. Now at the helm of his own studio, he has contributed to some of the most influential anime in recent history; how could we forget the impact KILL la KILL had on the community and Little Witch Academia’s magical charm. Promare also took theaters by storm last year, blowing away audiences worldwide.

Don’t miss this chance to meet one of the greatest minds of the anime industry! Studio TRIGGER is rising to higher and higher heights, and are not about to lose their way!

The poster drawing contest is now live!

This year’s theme for the contest is sports! Since the 2020 Olympics will be held in Tokyo, we thought we’d take this opportunity to highlight this aspect of both japanese culture and anime. Often used as a vehicle for thoughts and emotions, the sports anime genre is home to some of the best drama in fiction, and is very much worth celebrating!
Alright, enough of that, back to business talk. Here is the very, very short version of the contest:
Prizes
  • 1st place – Two (2) artist tables or their cash value, to choose from.
  • 2nd place – One (1) artist table or its cash value, to choose from.
Theme
  • Sports
Deadline
  • January 15 2020, 11:59 PM
Are the gears of your imagination already spinning? Head over to the contest page for the full rules and criterias!

We want you to host a panel!

A specific anime has you head over heels and you need to find other fans to discuss it with? You’ve been cosplaying for as long as you can remember and have a few neat tricks under your hat you wish to share around? Or maybe you’re one to set passions ablaze and want to “discuss” the best idol group of the decade?
Now is your chance! Fill the panel form now and get your entrance fee back!

Only a few days left before artist tables reservations close!

You have until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, December 8 to submit your form and enter the drawing! If this were Termina, you would now see a giant DUSK OF THE FIRST DAY on the screen, with “54 hours remain” written under it. Thankfully, the moon isn’t crashing down, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hurry!
P. S.: Both panel and volunteer forms are also available on our website. They will be officially announced in the next few days, but we’re willing to look the other way if you fill them now.

Registrations for the Dealers’ Room are now open!

Sink your teeth into this meaty contract, fresh out of the oven! Whether you’re an artist or a merchant, make sure you read over it meticulously, as several changes were made to it.

The selection process remains unchanged from the last few years. Merchants, you will be selected on a first come, first served basis. Artists, you have until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, December 8th to submit your form. We will then proceed to draw the spaces using a lotery system and contact everyone who submitted, both those selected and those who weren’t as lucky. For more information concerning the lotery system, please refer to the Merchants and Artists Form, as well as the Contract for merchands, artists and exhibitors.

This way to the form and the contract!
