Anime North 2014 was an unforgettable experience this year at the Toronto Congress Centre, Sheraton and International Plaza Hotel. There were plenty of workshops, panels, photoshoots, cosplay and gaming events, concerts, dances, contests and special events for all attendees. As the weather was warm with a soothing afternoon breeze, thousands of fans showed up in their favourite cosplays and were eager to pose for pictures whenever asked or requested. The concession area was filled with more food trucks this year that made it alot easier for attendees to conveniently find relatively affordable food.

Inside the Toronto Congress Centre, the Dealer's Room and Artists Alley were filled to the brim by those eager to purchase artwork, posters, wallscrolls, plushies, outfits, accessories and many more. Water stations were very frequent and provided to attendees to stay hydrated and to maximize their enjoyment of Anime North. Gaming fans were able to get their fix at the Sheraton Hotel where they were LAN contests, tournaments and free-to-play arcade games with many retro titles making an appearance.

Overall, Anime North 2014 was highly enjoyable and an improvement in many ways in the organization and execution of the convention compared to previous years.
