Valérie Harvey to open a doorway to Japan at Nadeshicon!

Nadeshicon 20200

A doorway might be a little exaggerated, but with a resume such as hers, it would be no surprise if she turned out to be a wizard on top of it. Accomplished writer, singer, teacher and sociologist, she radiates love for Japan, especially her second home in Kyoto, at every turn. Through the tales of her travels, you too will feel like you’re being transported there. There might be a little magic involved after all…

This time, he will be stopping by an event a bit closer to his home in Toronto to share his endless love for cosplay! Don’t miss this chance to meet him at Nadeshicon!

Nadeshicon 20200

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!

Nadeshicon 20200
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.
