Otakuthon At Home 2021
Virtual anime convention
This summer, Otakuthon, Montreal's own anime festival, will be holding another virtual “At
Home” edition of their event on August 20-22, 2021. While their physical event, which normally
brings in over 25,000 people to the Palais des congrès de Montréal over a single weekend each
year, was cancelled again due to the pandemic, this virtual event will feature some of the
festival's mainstay events such as concerts, panels, as well as the Masquerade (a cosplay
contest show). In addition, there will also be a new event called “Otakuthon Stars” where
talented fans will showcase their performing skills. For those excited about anime goods, there
will also be a variety of exhibitors virtually present to help satisfy shoppers looking for anime
goods or searching for that unique art piece.
The event is set to run for three days with an exciting lineup of guests. Otakuthon is honoured to
welcome visual kei performer Hizaki (in association with J-Rock North) and Japanese music
producer and composer beatMARIO. Japanese voice actors Kenji Nojima (Albedo in Genshin
Impact, Tuxedo Mask in Sailor Moon, Nobuchika Ginoza in Psycho-Pass), Yūko Minaguchi
(Sailor Saturn in Sailor Moon, Pan and Videl in Dragon Ball, Momiji in Ninja Gaiden and Dead or
Alive), and Ryōtarō Okiayu (Byakuya Kuchiki in Bleach, Shigure Souma in Fruits Basket,
Dark in D.N.Angel, Kunimitsu Tezuka in Prince of Tennis, Hisashi Mitsui in Slam Dunk) will
make an appearance virtually, as well as English voice actors Keith Silverstein (Zhongli in
Genshin Impact, Torbjörn in Overwatch, Hisoka in Hunter x Hunter, Speedwagon in Jojo's
Bizarre Adventure), Laura Stahl (Ray in The Promised Neverland, Barbara and Xinyan in
Genshin Impact, Iruma in Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun) and Joe Zieja (Claude Von
Riegan in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Achilles in Fate/Apocrypha, Cesar in Just Cause 4).
VTubers Elira Pendora, Pomu Rainpuff and Finana Ryugu from NIJISANJI EN, Japan's biggest
VTuber agency, will be virtually present, as will famous Rakugo performer Cyril Coppini, cosplay
guests Cita and Feder from C&F Cosplay Factory and many more (see website for complete
