I've just been wondering recently if there is any Anime/Cosplay clubs in Oshawa. I don't really know many people in the area and of those, even less anime fans and even fewer cosplayers. And since NAF is held here, I figured there might be some club in the area.
So, is there? ^^;

There was an other anime related event of which called themselvs "The Maverick Anime Club"- but they shutdown last year- Now NAF itself as well used to host a club in Ajax for a year BUT it did not get the expected attendence (and the club was FREE)- so we stoped hosting it.

I used to attend Maverick Anime and I loved it (despite the place ALWAYS being cold. XD) But I stopped going a few years ago when I assumed it has stopped. (Finding out it ended LAST year is news to me. o_o) It was expensive (Roughly $14) but it was well worth it.

I also attended the one that NAF used to host (and I still have my membership card thinger, that was only optional but I wanted to support it!)

I think that if there is enough interest, another anime club will surface here in Oshawa someday. ^__^

I'd never heard of the club that Tsukasa1 and Mekou are talking about... it sounds interesting!

I do know, however, that Durham College has an anime club. No idea if it's open to people outside of the school, but others on here probably would.

There are a good amount of otaku around here though, that's for sure.

mortont21 - That would be Northern Anime Festival, a convention that takes place at Durham College (though has no affiliation with the school or the anime club there). There's a section here on the forums dedicated to it. ^^

box of doom - It was a club that ran from 2001-2004 and it held meet-ups at the pub where Laser Quest is. ^_^ Just a full day of anime, and Grand Central provided some prizing for games and trivia.

What happened to them and why they stopped, I have no idea.

[wanabecosplayer]

there needs to be one... maybe someone should start one (hint hint)

[SuperSushi]

Yeah, I heard about the one held at Durham College as well.
I thought it was still going; I was invited to join not too long ago...

[wanabecosplayer]

got any info about it? like age group type of thing or whether you have to know someone from it/ be a student at durham, my sis goes to uoit but i doubt she knows anything about it

[SuperSushi]

I'm pretty sure you have to be a student there, or be invited by a student.

[SuperSushi]

But HEY. We could start our own. xD

[KurumiJ]

How many people are interested in this? XD Because we could just meet up some time and see how it goes from there >.>

[SuperSushi]

Hmm, that's true, we could always do that.
Well, I'm interested then. x)

[KurumiJ]

XD I was surprised when I saw this tread come back from the dead *had just checked it out like 4 months ago* and no one said anything about meeting up ^^;
:3 Yay! Thats us two so far then XD

[ekk_amanda_]

Depends when it would be but yeah i'd probably come ^^
