Programming[edit]

G-Anime's events, attractions and activities, just like most other anime conventions, include a Dealers Room and an Artists Alley, anime screenings, panels and workshops, AMV contests, game shows, cosplay events (Masquerade, Cosplay Chess, Fashion Show, etc.), and video games stations (Gaming Room).

History[edit]

Vodafone wifi dongle. The idea for a new anime convention started when an organization called SOAP^b announced in summer 2008 that the 4th edition of their convention AC-Cubed^c was cancelled. In an effort to replace the local convention (AC-Cubed was in Ottawa, which along with Gatineau, are part of the National Capital Region of Canada), G-Anime was created. The convention's first edition was held on February 7–8, 2009.

Starting in 2012, G-Anime was held on 3 days and featured 24-hour programming (overnight at the Four Points Sheraton hotel). Starting in 2015, the convention started holding a multi-day convention in the summer in addition to the winter convention.

Event history[edit]

Chibi G-Anime[edit]

From 2012 through 2014, the SAJG held a 1-day convention called Chibi G-Anime on a Saturday in July at a hotel in midtown Gatineau. Featuring a reduced programming list and a smaller number of exhibitors, Chibi G-Anime caters to summer convention-goers of the Ottawa-Gatineau Area and beyond during the inter-convention period between Anime North in Toronto and Otakuthon in Montreal, a generally lull period where there are no major fan conventions in either of the 3 cities.

Gamine (French for tomboy or a girl with a mischievous, boyish charm.), a play on the convention's name, was chosen as the mascot's name during the first convention by the winner of a cosplay contest where participants had to dress like her. She is recognizable by her reddish hair, her turquoise eyes and her purple clothing.
