Psst! Did you know that the Ottawa area now has three (count them, three!) major annual anime conventions? Did you also know that Toys on Fire makes an appearance at all of them? That’s right anime fans, we’re letting you know extra early that Naru 2 U will be back this year, at the Travelodge (1379 Carling Ave.) on October 10^th-11^th. What is Naru 2 U? What’s an anime convention? What IS Anime? Well, Naru 2 U is an anime convention that debuted last November with an attendance of 600 people (a fair feat for a debut). Even we don’t know much more about it so far, except that Stephanie Beard, actress, voice actress, and former host of YTV’s the Zone will be returning to chat with fans. For updates and more info on Naru 2 U, check them out at www.Naru2u.com. Now, if you still don’t know what Anime is, it’s a particular type of animation from Japan, (Gundam, Sailor Moon, Naruto) but it also includes Japanese videogames like Nintendo or Final Fantasy. Anime conventions are a chance to learn about new anime, meet people with similar interests, dress as your favorite character, and have lots of fun! But don’t forget to come say hello to yours truly in the dealer’s room!
