Fanime General: Long Arm of the Law Edition Anonymous Fri Apr 17 05:07:53 2015 No.8258356 [Reply] [Original]

May 22-25, 2015 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, CA

Current Guests of Honor:
Kazuhiro Soeta (Who?)
"WindOfTheStars" (Huh?)
Chalk Twins (Zuh?)

Hotels rooms are all booked, AA was a literal crapshoot, Clockwork Alchemy just won't go away, and four of my roomies don't feel like going any more. So, what are your plans for this year?

General plans are just hanging out, getting good eats and hitting up the SMT/Persona gatherings as well as the comedy club.

The Cosplay Wrestling Federation is coming back to Fanime and I really hope the show we put on will be as good as the one we had last year.

This is only my second year attending so the entire con is still plenty new and fun for me. But my main points of interest are the smt/Persona meet ups and events, checking out cosplayers and the AA, even though I'm not sure if it'll even be worth checking out this year according to the last thread.

What are everybody's cosplay plans for Fanime?

I always try to contribute to the con as much as possible! Since it seems like fanime has embraced the party con atmosphere, I find that volunteering and contributing is a great way to meet people and hang out in more structured environments (since I'm aspie and bad at social)
So I'll be doing the maid cafe for the second year, which I'm really hyped for! My friend and I host fanimad libs every year and it sounds like our 18+ one might get a 2 hour slot this time, which is something we've always wanted. Hoping to add loads more content this year.
Other random plans include After School Navigators at karaoke since I've got a small love live group of nico rin and hanayo, and the yurikuma ed so my friends and I can have an excuse to do the bear dance! Also general big cosplay plans that I'm excited/terrified about. Lots of work, totally worth it though.

Politics of Fansubbing. Basically gonna be guiding an hour-long guided discussion on the early origins of anime distribution in the US, the evolution of fansub practices, and whether or not they're still strictly necessary in the current age of digital distribution.

I probably won't get too many people at it and nobody will want to talk, but IMO it's worth talking about because it's just so damn interesting.

idek what I was thinking about with the title though. Can't change it now tho.

Fairmont was nothing but trouble for me last year, but that's the thing about the Fairmont. They're great until you're the poor bastard that they fuck with, and then they fuck with you BAD. The valet rubbed the side of my car up against a wall and I was out $700 or so because they determined that they weren't at fault. A friend of mine was charged $2000 in damages on a room that he left spotless.

AX definitely has more drama. AX management is drama incarnate. If there isn't drama they'll make it.
Fanime is... Fanime. It's an excuse to get people together. Which is sad because it used to be both an excuse to get people together and have some nice guests.

I just wish they'd give me the payment link for my fucking AA table. At this rate the con is gonna be deserted because nobody can pay for their shit.

It's esp irritating since I just did Sakura Con which has some of the best organization I've ever seen from a con. I had a local con that was this bad, but at least I didn't have to fly out like I do for this...

I finally got all my travel/rooming stuff worked out, so I'm fucking relieved and excited at this point. Only worry left is safely transporting a bigass prop.

Fanime has had shit guests for the past few years, which is really unfortunate, but I discovered that once you stop giving a shit about that, it's a really fun con. It has some of the funniest/most fun panels, people are really laid-back and friendly so it's easy to chat and get recs for cool stuff, love all the restaurants in the area, cosplay photoshoots are a good highlight, and at least the music guests are usually cool.

I've started looking at the lackluster guest list as a way to free up my schedule--since I don't give a shit about any of their shitty guests, I'm not stuck waiting in line for their shitty guest panels and have way more time to go with the flow and try new stuff.

Pretty much this. Unlike say Comic Con or AX where everyone is rushing to see some industry panal, signing, whatever, Fanime is mostly for the fan run panals and cosplay. Even more areas to cosplay now that construction is done.

Do any locals know how crowded San Pedro Square gets during the con? I basically just found out about it a few weeks ago and am in love with it, but would definitely prefer for it not to be overrun with weebs, who I think tend to stick to that whole stretch between the con center and SJSU.

Anyway, if there's gonna be a seagull meeting, I would highly recommend that area. It's like a 10, 15m walk. On the way there's like a gaming bar that's your typical bar, but with like... games.... and shit....

All my bitching paid off and I got a table for Fanime, so I'm set for that. Gonna cosplay Takemonos Rin with my roomie and I'm thinking about trying to put together Maps Mizoguchi from Gotham Academy. Does anyone know a hot Asian dude I can sucker into cosplaying a hot older brother.

Most of my friends don't do cons any more, so I usually went with my nephew and his friends. This year though, one's citing money issues and the others couldn't take their finals early so they could make the trip.

That's okay, though. They said at the very least, they want to do AX. Now that they announced Ishiwatari as a guest, I'm a little hyped for that. We'll just try to do Fanime next year, assuming their fucktarded hotel reg server doesn't explode and take out half of San Jose.

Fanime's "drama" is usually because it's volunteer-based, so that means that for any volunteer con there's usually a shortage of people and people doubling up on multiple jobs. Some of the main aspects of Fanime have been delayed because while it's so expansive, a lot of the staff are doing this as volunteer work and have their own jobs and other personal obligations to attend to. It makes it challenging for any volunteer or group convention.

To be fair, I heard much more drama two years back when Linecon was really bad than last year. It made a huge difference not to devote a whole con day to a 5 hour line after a previous 8 hour drive to SJ.

>>8261771
This. AX is filled with so much internal crap and everyone knows it. Their compensations for some of their staff departments for how much they really have to work on is horrendous.

A couple of years back, a masquerade coordinator was publicly fired the day after masquerade and escorted out by security after one of the dumb higher-ups said he breached policies and other shit she made up on the spot.

The coordinator posted a very lengthy summary of all of the lack of effort from AX higher ups to make masquerade happen, as well as the real backstory behind the really horrible prizes given out that year. One group got a serger or some fancy sewing machine while an advanced craftsmanship group got an old Cosmode magazine and some cards or some shit. It was also the same year when they started asking for useless intro videos, which the coordinator explained was something that they didn't even opt for, it was a higher-up who wanted it, and they got stuck having to redo and fix new ones for several contestants working overnight up until masquerade.

Its hot. The convention doesn't have enough money to get a larger ballroom or even make it two ballrooms instead of one. I went in 2007 and it was a very small video room at the back of the convention. In 2010 it was a ballroom over in the fancy hotel that I never remember the name of. Im so bad with naming shit.. I dont ever stay in the hotels, so I have no reason to know the names.

I have actually asked someone about moving it to a convention room that is unused and the answer was no because money and the flooring. There is a projector that will show what dance and style will come next along with corresponding song. They may have the men on one side and ladies on the other side dances as well and then you both walk to the middle of the floor and pick the partner in front of you and do the dance for it. Usually the waltz.

There are tables set up kind of like a prom where you an sit and relax. DO NOT BE AN ASSHOLE AND LEAVES YOU BAGS WHEREVER. Those people are the worst and I sure as hell hope their shit gets stolen.

If you want to make it really fun for yourself you should attend some of the ballroom dancing classes they have Friday-Sunday until the actual dance. These will help you not look like an idiot, but if you can't attend that it okay. There are people there who will gladly demonstrate and help you dance to certain styles if you aren't sure.

Please dress appropriately. There is a thread on the forum site where you can take a photo and submit it to ask the hosters whether you outfit will be appropriate. Also, TEST YOUR SHOES. Please DO NOT wear heels that will ruin ANY flooring. Black heels need to especially be tested to make sure you don't leave marks on the flooring.

First of all the venue moved over to the tech museum so now its very large, spacious and well ventilated. You can easily sit in the many chairs and tables provided or you can dance on the hardwood floors.

If your boyfirend is not good dancing then I second the anon's advice of going to the lessons during the day. They teach multiple styles and are pretty easy to follow. If you feel self cautious then make sure you dance around the edges as that's were the less experienced couples go and there's plenty of room for everyone

Holy crap! I was so paranoid with them charging the shit outta me I was hard on my friends in the room not to move anything from those pressure plates they called amenities. Yet after all the drinking I was the one who yakked on the floor. Luckily one of my friends had a big can of Barbasol that he was going to use to prank me, and we used it to try to get the stain out. I was lucky enough to not get charged damages.

I got a room with the Marriott this year. I hope the elevator isn't as bad as people say it is... Cause it was pretty bad having to lug a cooler from the top floor of the Fairmont to lobby since their elevators were full of fuck.

They don't and you will need to pay extra to get them (assuming they still have supply). One thing you can do, that's kinda shady, is to say you have medical supplies that need refrigerating. Hotels will usually let you use the fridge for free but then that can cut into the supplies of people who actually need it.

Ok here's what you do with the elevators if your on a higher floor: go to the 2nd floor and ride it down so you don't have to fight with all the 1st floor nerds trying to get it.

It's bad during afternoons or after the dealers hall and artist alley closes (around 8?) But at night it's empty... great to get wasted then go downstairs to play video games.

Two weeks, are you nuts? Other cons have their shit together/announced months beforehand. Two weeks before might be fine for people who live right in San Jose, but for people traveling even from small distances, they need to know what's up way earlier to judge if going is even worth it for them. And there are people who like to make guest-relevant cosplays.

So many conventions do this and a lot of the time its not just the convention's fault. These possible guests have channels that the conventions has to go through in order to reach some of them and last minute notice isnt unheard of for a lot of these guests. Its not just the convention. Its not as easy as sending an email straight to a voice actor/actress or a popular music group.

If they suddenly announce a guest you want to see and you weren't originally planning on attending, 14 days isn't enough advance notice to guarantee time off work let alone get a room. The only way you're getting a room at two weeks out is if you stay offsite in a hotel not affiliated with the con and take public transport, or you miraculously find a friend with space in the closet in their hotel room. Never mind transportation costs.

Then thats your fault for one, waiting months later to get a hotel room. Two, guest being your only reason to attend Fanime.

Any smart person for any convention anywhere is that you book the room right as they go up because they fly off the shelves. That argument is so dumb and has nothing to do with guests.

Not the anon you're replying to, but I've got good friends in guest relations/guest acquisitions at a couple cons up and down the west coast. Most of them agree that the only reasons why a guest hasn't been announced at a month or even two weeks beore con are:

1. Because the contract states that they can't be announced before a certain date
2. the convention is being miserly with their guest announcements
3. They are literally so fucking unorganized that nobody remembered to announce the guest on time

This shit is taken care of months and months in advance, and musical guests are usually brought to the US on the dime of multiple conventions at once so that the band can do a tour before heading home (especially in the case of biger groups. Fanime and AWA went in on HMK together last year, IIRC)

Not announcing a guest until a month or two weeks before con pisses guests the fuck off, man. The less notice there is, the less hype/press they get beforehand. In the case of musical guests, that means they might not fill the venue.

Never mind the fact that if they still don't have guests locked down by /now/, they're basically fucked as far as booklet and signage printing goes unless they pay out the nose for a rush order. Not that that matters much, since Fanime is fucking shit at actually having booklets and guides printed before the con fucking starts.

This isn't just a Fanime thing though. Fanime just happens to be the next convention coming up in NorCal.

Also, considering the demographic of Fanime, regardless of the music group and when it is announced, there will be hype. Seriously though, if guests is the only reason people attend conventions then that is seriously really depressing. There are so many other things to do at conventions besides meet someone after waiting in line for 4 hours and shaking their hand for 10 seconds.

To me, meeting guests is a huge waste of time. About as wasteful as waiting 6 hours for Masquerade.

Yeah, but to other people meeting guests is their entire reason for being. It's like how some people can't live without reading every single celeb gossip rag they can find, but other people just sorta stand next to the rack in the grocery line in uncomfortable silence wondering why people read that shit. I'm sure plenty of other people share your view (and I'm one of them, because goddamn, standing in line to meet someone is super overrated) but conventions have to be courteous to all parties involved in their operation. The people who are crazy enough to stand in line for four hours to meet someone and get a signature are paying for a badge too.

THIS.

I like how some of the chucklefucks in here think it's totally OK to have to scramble to get a hotel, flights/travel arrangements, and time off of work 2 weeks before a con if waiting for announcements is no big deal. Not realistic for most of us. If guests are a deciding factor in whether or not it's worth attending a con (NOBODY IS SAYING THEY'RE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, so stop implying that, people), they should probably be announced when that information can still actually be put to use.

Oh, and Sakuracon announcing guests 2 months beforehand is a much bigger timeframe than 2 weeks. Not really comparable.

In that case you could also say “If _____ (insert: watching videos, hanging out with friends, cosplay, or anything else that happens at a con) is the only reason people attend conventions then that is seriously depressing.” There’s no need to diminish people’s reasons for going.

Guests (in particular musical guests) are one of the main reasons I attend every convention I attend. For the record, I don’t ever wait in line to meet them or get their autographs...but I LOVE seeing their panels.

Seriously? We're talking about how shitty the masq has become and you blame it on Rick Meyers? Have you actually been to an recent Fanime masq? There's so many other reasons that are actually true for why it's suffering

>Participants have to basically spend they're whole sunday rehearsing and sitting around waiting
>Losing audio or mixing up the order
>The emcee who always seems buzzed and uninterested
>Normalfag band basically having a 1 hour concert before the show

Once upon a time Fanime had the best masq around and apparently when the old head stepped down it just all came apart.

this this this this, in 2013 they pulled me up into the green room during the skit before mine to go through the masq coordinator's e-mail inbox on a shitty netbook and get the .mp3 of my skit audio from the email I sent him two months previously. The only reason I was /allowed/ to eat (they didn't let us leave the building) from noon to 8pm was because one of the staff photographers ran out to the sidewalk and got me a hot dog from a street vendor.

Also Wayne Kaa shouldn't be allowed to judge craftsmanship. A friend of mine competed a couple years ago and when she explained how she painted the design on her skirt he straight up asked her, no joking tone or anything, "Are you lying to me?"

He accused another friend of mine who competed that year of lying about really weird minute details of her costume, like the bead strands in her wig.

Plus the prizes are fucking shit. The best non-trophy prize I ever got from them was a copy of Newtype from 1992, and I only kept it because it had an article about Kamen Rider Black RX in it. They literally hand you a plastic takeout bag of magazine inserts, Fanime staff t-shirts from the early 00's, and post cards from conventions in Cali that don't even exist anymore.

Am I salty? Yes. Very.

I agree with this. I was in the masq last year and they fucked up our skit's audio but we were forced to continue because they have the motto of "the show must go on".
Basically they fucked up our lighting queue as well because they changed the lights constantly, making it hard (since our characters were fighting) and one of our props ended up breaking.

tldr; fanime masq sucked and there were tears shed after our performance.

Told my mother I refuse to take my sister and her friend to Fanime now. Considering how they have been acting I don't want to deal with their attitudes and last year was probably my least favorite because I had to babysit. I couldn't stay out late to hang with friends, I had to go home early if one of them was tired, I had to attend shitty Monday because they wanted to, if someone did something good or got a photo the other would complain and cry about it while the other would constantly brag.

So yeah. Mom is pissed off saying it is like telling someone they are going to Disneyland then taking that away two weeks before, but frankly she wasn't there last year. She has no idea how much of a fucking bunch of brats they were for 10 year olds. Being 11 only makes it worse. Im a bad person apparently right now, but she will get over it.

I tried three months ago and got the same yelling about it. They will get over it. To be honest, neither of them seem to really care about going. My sister doesn't really even seem interested in wearing any of her cosplays I got for her and all she said she would do it spend all her money and not do much else because she's so young she doesn't give a damn about panels or the game room or any of the other events. She only cares about the AA and DR and last thing I need if her not spending any money on food again and me having to pay out of my entertainment pocket for her to force eat.

I want to go to Fanime myself this year and hang with my friends and go to parties". She said no and ignored me and told me I was selfish.

You should have posed it differently. You did sound selfish if you put it as "I want to go by myself, hang with friends, go to parties." If you had mentioned how much they were little shits (obviously in much friendlier terms) it would have gone over better and would be more understandable to your mom. As far as she knows they were little princesses the whole time.

Dammit! I was going to go with friends as the cowboy bebop cast. As soon as our Faye dropped out, our Spike decided to do a different costume. I still want to go as Ed and I have a Jet... Any Spike and Faye's out there that want to hang out with me all weekend? lol

If you want food but don't wanna eat out like crazy, there's a closeby safeway near the Fairmont. Stock up and enjoy. Gatorades, String Cheese, cold cuts, rock out.

If you need something to do or a place to meet folks, there's always stage zero, which is right in the middle of the con.

Game room's open 24/7, go nanners!! Also, go to Banzai Arcade. Best panel ever.

Fanimaid is pricey but worthwhile but better if you have a group of friends. Your badge will get you into clockwork alchemy and there's a shuttle if you want to check it out. Artist alley is usually really good. Check out some of the eateries in the area. Get a psycho donut early before they sell out.

-Don't go to the Jack in the Box past 1 AM in the morning unless you're with friends. Definitely go to La Victoria's and get their orange sauce (they're in the same area a couple blocks down from the con center)

-Dress real fancy and have breakfast at the French bakery/cake shop across the street. Sniff dismissively at the weeaboos coming in to get their kawaii cakes and shit.

-Hang out in the arcade, especially after-hours. Be friendly and cool and unless you're getting major pissface vibes, invite yourself in with other groups or are playing stuff. Everyone's there to play, so may as well have some fun and make friends

-Hang out at gatherings of the series you like

-Room parties. Hop around. Find/make friends. Have fun.

Mentioned my cosplays here >>8306723 but here's visual aid. If there are any other FE:A cosplayers, I'd love to get pictures with you. There was a wonderful Laurent last year and I'm said I missed the gathering due to getting sick. Take your vitamin C and immunity boosters before traveling, kids.

Hopefully going to ghost around in Sae at night just for fun. Living out my horror cosplay dream. Next year hopefully Kakurenbo.

Was kind of debating whether or not I should post this, but if any of you see me Id be glad to say "Hi" back. I ordered my Belle wig the other day from Arda, so I'm hoping to get it in before the convention. I've never bought from them before. I don't know how long it takes, but the shipping says 3-5 days. Let's hope it stays that way. Still gotta make her hair bow too.

I'm debating whether I really want to finish Tibbers also. I'm so upset with how its looks. Im horrible at sewing. I also have new Velma pieces with actual mary janes, so revamping her. I don't know what to do with my ballgown.

Does anyone have any ideas of who I could cosplay wearing it for the Black and White Ball? The back of it had a hidden inner slit that when opened it shows a white satin fabric. Its kind of cool. I got it at Goodwill years ago for $15.00. Its just like a ballgown my mom has and hers was over $300.00. Best find at Goodwill ever. Was 2x too big for me, so I had a tailor take it in, so its custom sized for me now. :3

Here's the deal by ghosting you're pretty much saying that the con is still worth going to but you're just too cheap to pay. Really that's more of an issue of you not wanting to fork over cash and thus Fanime thinks its doing nothing wrong.

If you really hate fanime so much then stick by your convictions and don't show up at all. You NOT there does a whole lot more

am I the only person who doesn't give a shit about whether or not other people buy passes, or are y'all petulant fucks just looking for something to argue over? srs question 'cause I legit don't know. I mean, I always buy a pass, but it has no effect on me what other people do so I've never thought of it as something to care about that hard.

Maybe it's cause I have a few friends who just go to cons to basically cosplay and party (two things which don't require a pass at all), I can get why people might skip out on a pass, but damn, y'all need to take a chill pill.

As for me, not freaked out! Everything's ready to go and I am antsy to pack now, like a week ahead of time, hah.

Don't know if I'll bring Arashiyama… I haven't fixed up the costume since I wore it last Summer and looks like the two people I was going to World Trigger with won't be able to get their costumes done on time. It depends if a friend brings her Enedora or not, I guess. Otherwise I'll bring Maou or maybe Melodias instead.
