We have submitted this panel for 2020 and are waiting on approval response. We hope to bring it back again - with all new titles - and hopefully TWO HOURS with TWO FULL GAMES for 2020.
...we also hope to have our time nailed down further in advance so we can actually promote the panel like in 2018...
ALL INFO AT THIS TIME IS TO BE DETERMINED UNTIL PANELS ARE APPROVED
- INFORMATION BELOW IS CARRYOVER FROM 2019 AND WILL BE UPDATED ONCE OUR PANEL REGISTRATION IS APPROVED -
Returning for 2019 to bring classic anime love back to FanimeCon -
Vintage Anime - Name That Year!
Do you know your anime? Three attendees compete to identify pre-2001 anime openings to their respective years! Each classic anime opening is followed by a brief selection of information, including current availability and related works. Compete to win old school anime prizes and be crowned Otaking!*
(three contestant slots accepted from panel attendees - first come, first served)*Otaking is not gender-specific, it's a term from the 1991 OVA "Otaku no Video" but if you're interested in this panel then you probably knew that already.View the greatest anime openings of all time, listen to iconic music, and expand your anime horizons!
Saturday, May 25th at 9:00am in Panels 4
The first three panel attendees who wish to compete will sit at the front of the room across from the stage. They will each be given three cards, marked A, B, and C.
Ten rounds - Each round will have three years on screen, example: A.1982 B.1985 C.1989, and an anime opening / intro will play. At the conclusion of the anime opening, each contestant holds up the card that corresponds to the year they think the anime series premiered in. If their answer is correct, they are awarded a point. After a round, the next presentation slide will give the correct answer for the competitors and audience, brief information about the series, its current availability, and so on - as is done in a traditional information panel. After that the next round begins.
Whichever contestant has the most points at the end of the final round wins a vintage anime prize pack supplied by myself in the theme of vintage anime fandom.
(last year's package contained a LaserDisc, book, soundtrack, and a pair of video games - all vintage anime themed) In the case of a tie, there will be a tiebreak series opening, without multiple choice, where the competitors must write the year down. Closest to the actual year breaks the tie and wins. In the event of a continuing tie, co-champions will be crowned!
A twist on the "vintage anime" type panel with more audio / video and the addition of a competition between three attendees.
All three contestants will receive a special parting gift!
All panel attendees will receive a commemorative badge ribbon at the end of the panel! (limit 80 ribbons)
Join us and... NAME - THAT - YEAR!
