Countdown to UNPLUGGED III: A Weekend of Awesome!
It’s the start of summer, but that doesn’t mean I can’t look forward to fall – or more specifically to UNPLUGGED III: A Weekend of Awesome!
In its third year, on September 27 and 28th, this convention will focus on Anime and Cosplay with panels and workshops and plenty of guests.
There are many cosplay guests including Cosplay Guest of Honour Quantum Destiny and Master Level Costumer, Glay. Other guests include VickyBunnyAngel and two different cosplay groups: Cosmeko, and Geek Girls Cosplay. Come see their amazing skills and learn the many aspects of this part of fandom. If you cosplay, why not enter their Masquerade?
The Many Faces of Johnny Yong Bosch
On the anime front, Unplugged is celebrating 20 years of Power Rangers with guests Jeff Parazzo (The White Dino Ranger), Kevin Duhaney (The Blue Dino Ranger) and Guest of Honour Johnny Yong Bosch the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ Black Ranger! Bosch has also voiced such iconic characters as Ichigo Kurosaki in Bleach, and Guy J. Sakaki in Witch Hunter Robin. Not limited to anime, he’s also done voice work in such video games as Bumblebee in Transformers: War for Cybertron, Zero in Marvel VS Capcom 3, and Nero in Devil May Cry 4.
There’s also a number of Sailor Moon voice guests including Barbara Radecki (Saialr Neptune) and Sabrina Grdevich (Sailor Pluto, Evil Ann- Sailor Moon R). And if your love of cartoons is more locally focused, Cailynne Medrek (Total Drama Island’s Dawn as well as Pan from Dragonball GT) is also a guest!
Where is this amazing convention? Right in the heart of Toronto at the Chestnut Conference Center located between University and Yonge just south of Dundas – it doesn’t get more TTC-able than that!
It might still be summer, but that just means you have twelve weeks to rewatch the guests in their anime element while working on you own cosplay. See you there!
