@AtomicLollipop 2015: The 90’s All Grown Up with Culture Toronto #geek

by Culture Toronto Team

If you could look at this event with respect to the other big anime/cosplay events in TO, Atomic Lollipop is a lot like the rebellious little sibling in the family; slightly less popular with less experience, yet more willing to do crazy things, make mistakes and potentially die in a glorious James Dean-esque explosion.

“Why don’t you get married?”

“Why don’t you find anyone?  You know so many people?”

“Aren’t you looking?”

“What about that guy?” (this is pretty much directed to any breathing male)

At E3, a spectacle of new electronic things, it was the recruitment of the old that drew the most attention. After much fan harassment Square Enix has announced the remake of Final Fantasy VII, a seminal piece in the canon of video game history (Like Doom, which was also announced).

Anime North Pride

What if you could dress like Jesus for a day and taste the admiration of a third of our world’s population? I want to hear from our ethnic and female readers; how’s about donning a wreath of thorns and having old folks lay palm fibers in your path while riding on the sweet ass of a good friend willing to walk on all fours? Surrounded by the 23 952 ticket bearers dressed up at Toronto’s Anime North, we all become critic, admirer and hypocrite; all it takes is the right (or wrong) costume.
