So last weekend was Anime North and for the first time ever featured the Toys On Fire crew! Everyone there had a blast and we’re confident we made an impression on the anime crowd. For those who don’t know, Anime North is the biggest Anime Convention in Canada, bringing in over 18000 people from all over the world! Props to all the great costumes we saw, and boy was there a variety! Now that it’s over though, we can’t wait for next year when we get to do it all again!

Are your walls naked? Cover ‘em up before they get embarrassed! Get some anime posters! We’ve got some Final Fantasy, Naruto, Bleach, Gundam, Trigun, Cowboy Bepop, OnePiece, Bruce Lee, D-Gray Man, X Hunter, Ah! My Goddess, Astroboy, Initial D, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Full Metal Alchemist, and many more. So now you haven’t got an excuse, especially considering they’re $2.95, or 2 for $5! It’s crazy.

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!

G-Anime has come and gone, much fun was had, and many tears were shed. All while all this was happening, the rest of the Toys on Fire staff took the opportunity of having almost all the Anime merchendise out of the store to do a little rearranging, and we think you will be pleasently surprised.

Our anime section has been completely restructured to allow you, our valued customers to get closer to our product, find it easier, and we have also vastly expanded our selection. We are also now taking orders for anything we might be missing, so swing by and check it out, you won’t be dissapointed!
