Does anyone know what the convention theme will be for 2017?

I wasn't at the closing ceremonies, but I heard Magic School from somewhere.

The Fanime website has some new art and Magic School is a good way to describe it.

There couldn't be a better theme for this cosplay, or a better cosplay for this theme.

[Barnes]

Yep the theme is School of Magic.

Hey, as long as we can get rid of that stupid Tiger with a sword hand Im for anything.

[pipboy]

Hey, I'm a sword-handed tiger, and I take offense to that!     /cry_uncontrollably

[Barnes]

I like the tiger. I hope it comes back.

Also, I think someone on Fanime staff has been watching the new Pretty Cure show, which apparently has a Harry Potter-like magic school in it, hence the theme for next year. Or maybe a coincidence? XD

The theme makes me think of Negima and Petite Princess Yucie, and nothing could be better fitting of the theme. <3333

I just made a request thread. Feel free to post your requests in it!

Thank you everyone for the information.  This will help me prepare for the 2017 convention.  I also just learned from National Public Radio (NPR) that  2017 will be the twentieth anniversary of Harry Potter.  It sounds most appropriate.

Are we limited to only cosplaying a cosplay from the theme?

Of course not!
Honestly I doubt most people ever even know there is a theme. Some people definitely do choose cosplay that match the theme, but more often then not the theme just boils down to what the art assets on badges and other con stuff will have.

Cosplay whatever you want
