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!

Presale starts today!

There is no joy quite like saving money. But what if you could save money and give the gift of Japan? What’s more, what if you could save money, give the gift of Japan, and receive the gift of Japan? You can do just that by pre-ordering your badge for Nadeshicon for the low price of $30!
Dubious logic aside, pre-ordering your weekend badge for Nadeshicon now until February 15th does get you a very real $10 discount on the price at the door and on presale past that date! Head over to the presale section to benefit from it!

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!

Librairie Morency’s Japanese Festival 2019 is this Saturday!

One of Québec City’s precious independent libraries, Librairie Morency could easily be mistaken for a treasure chest full of wonders at first glance; priding itself on its audacity, it goes above and beyond to make every aspect of literature shine. “Ordinary” simply doesn’t exist in their dictionary.
 
It should then come as no surprise that, despite being the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan is for a second year in a row getting the spotlight this Saturday in a festival covering many of the aspects that make its culture so captivating! Many amazing guests will be on site, some of which have yet to give our hearts back (honestly, it’s fine if they keep them; they deserve them). You may thus find Martin Savard performing Rakugo at 1pm and 2pm, Nunumi signing copies of her comic, A Ticket to Nowhere, and Valérie Harvey presenting her books and talking about her experience in Kyōto.
 
Cosplayers, don’t fret! Librairie Morency will be hosting a costume contest on the theme of Japan with none other than Nienna Surion, one of our two canadian representatives for WCS 2020! Register now for the contest by sending the library a PM on their Facebook page, by calling them, or by registering on-site! Our scouts have also heard rumors of prizes for the contest~
 
See you this Saturday on Limoilou’s 3rd avenue! Oh, and one more thing: it’s free!
