Anime North 2015 Convention Roundup

A report on the 2015 Anime North convention noted a continued increase in tokusatsu community presence and programming compared to prior years, with coverage spanning both Kamen Rider and Ultraman fandom.

A tokusatsu-themed photo shoot ran across the Friday and Saturday of the convention. In the dealer room, one booth was noted for selling boxed vintage Super Sentai toys from the 1990s onward alongside assorted parts and opened mecha figures; the vendor itcamefromjapan returned again this year with merchandise tied to Kamen Rider Drive and Shuriken Sentai Ninninger.

The report noted some scheduling errors in the convention’s final printed program, but praised how autograph sessions were run in staggered batches, seen as more organized than in past years. Overall, the convention was judged decent, though somewhat weaker than the previous year’s event.
