G-Anime is an annual two-day anime convention held in Gatineau, Quebec. The convention is run and organized by La Société d'Animation Japonaise de Gatineau (SAJG).
History[]
The convention started when an organization called SOAP announced that the 4th edition of their convention named AC-Cubed was canceled. In an effort to replace the local convention (AC-Cubed was in Ottawa, which, along with Gatineau, is part of the National Capital Region of Canada), G-Anime was created. G-Anime's first edition was held on 7–8 February 2009.
