Well seeing how they are becoming more and more popular how about a panel about ball joint dolls? Ya know like how to get into the hobby, stuff you need to know to get started on making your own, where to find items for you BJD, and more. Not to mention those who all ready have made there own can showcase them.

Ooh, dA panel...so they're finally coming out and attending cons after AX, huh?  ;) Haha, and I guess they supposedly got threatened by the admins 3 times to be shut down for reasons unknown...

Anyway, I'd really like to attend a parapara/techpara/torapara one. After all of these years that I've been con-going, I've surprisingly never made it a go. But hey, it's never too late to start, right?

I liked the lolita pannel from 07 we should bring it :U but you know that we should have actual brand like baby the stars shine bright host something like that

Baby the stars shine bright is Opening a store in SF opening in agust of 09 so it would be PERFECT

August of '09...that's so long...X_X Aww well, I'll probably make a trip to SF around that time (or perhaps I'll be at Berkeley and live close by 8D ).

Of course I'm ready to do more panels at Fanime again.

The turnouts were great this year, I credit the combination of good panel descriptions in the program guide plus a well done easy to read schedule. I pretty much packed all my panels.

Hmmm. Drat. I wanted to make a preparations panel for 2009 panels and put a bunch of information in the first post, but this one is already here. xD; I guess I'll have to duplicate a bit. Love to have all of you back next year.  :)

We love doing that panel and it's also on the list of panels we plan on submitting for 2009

VOCALOID Panel. It's becoming less obscure, so there should be quite a few people that are interested. It's been quite the phenomenon this year and I was surprised to see any VOCALOID cosplayers last year at all. (There was quite the turnout at AX, though).
Anyone want to try? I'd help. P:

You have me a little intrigued pocky, but at the same time I don't think the US community really understands VOCALOID culture as a whole so it might be ambiguous in its prospects. Honestly I like the obscurity in the US right now, but if we host a panel on this we may very well just go over how to work out the software and the running in-jokes about it... maybe.

I have two that I'd like to do:

Japanese Tabletop RPGs: I have the odd distinction of being responsible for Maid RPG being the first Japanese tabletop RPG to come out in English, and by the time FanimeCon 2009 rolls around another one called Tenra Bansho Zero will be out. I'd like to do a panel talking about the (tiny little) Japanese TRPG scene; what kinds of games are out there, what the hobby culture is like, and how all of the above are different from the U.S.

Japanese for Anime Fans 101: I've been thinking about this for a while, but basically it would be a panel on learning the Japanese language, concentrating on tips and tricks to help learners.

Agreed, Banzai Arcade and Your Anime Sucks were both great. I was at both, and I had great fun. It was so fun, I ditched my friends and they wandered around searching for Banzai Arcade after I told them I was there. Bwahahahahaha.

I still remember Bishie Luigi and Yaoi Guy.

Does anyone know when to expect responses to the panels they submitted?

We're a little behind on responses. Should be sending some out within the next week. Not sure how long it'll take us to catch up.
