here is your annual video post
Q, A, C, & R
Q= question
A= answer
C= comment
R= Reply

Q: Yeah, I noticed that a lot of the video programming schedules (especially in the anime viewing rooms) kept getting changed...

A: yes we know and we our sorry for that lots of tech problems with our power Macs

C: I liked how all the video rooms were put on one side of the con

R: thanks!!

C: Lots of One Piece being shown

R: well of course it’s the best and the hottest ser in Japan

Q: I was a little annoyed at the anime schedule. I guess there was some sort of technical problems mid-Saturday, but I missed a lot of what I wanted to see because the schedule changed on me.

A: we are sorry about this. The power Macs we used couldn’t handle certain files (mkvs and HD)

C: Hentai night. Always fun

R: thanks we aim to please

Q: The Enies Lobby arc marathon was confusing....I came in and from the looks of it they went backwards after getting close to the 'Sanji's Scorching Kick' episode. What was up with that?

A: oh yeah that…… well what happen was our staffer listen to the audience and skiped episodes that helped set up the story for new one piece fans who didn’t know what the story was about or characters (since 4kids butchered one piece!!!!!) also it threw off the timing of when the ser ended. So I had to have him play all the back eps to keep the marathon on schedule. I really hoped you enjoyed it. Also in case anyone else had a question as of why we ended it when he beat rob, there are 2 reasons. 1. I felt it ended the story we were aiming for in the arch. Robin is saved, all the main bad guys are beat, and it ends on a good note. 2 vegapunk ep 310 was the last ep they released that week before the con. I really hope you enjoyed the one piece marathon like I did (I was the guy in the middle of the room in front of the projector enjoying sec of it) its something I hope we can do again.

C: The Hentai Room. This was the first year I was old enough to attend, and although I was very reluctant at first (I was dragged there by friends XD), I ended up enjoying myself immensely. Midnight Sleazy Train and Swallowtail Inn had me dying of laughter, I swear. ("Spirit of hospitality!")

R: yeah that’s 2 who love our hentai room yah for hentai

C: Technical difficulties in the video rooms? And one of the only three anime series I like was cancelled due to them? How terrible!

R: we are so sorry about this. You can be assured we are taking measures that this never happens again.

C: One thing that really irritated me (and I felt really bad for the staff that had to deal with it) was when a room was supposed to be playing something, but the staff member didn't have the disc and didn't even know where it was. I forget where this happened to me, but apparently someone how borrowed the disk and hadn't brought it back or something of that nature. That threw off the schedule and there wasn't anything playing in that room for at least an hour while the poor staff guy had to hunt it down. I think with a con this big that sort of thing needs to not happen. All the rooms need to have all the shows that will be playing at all times.

R: I feel the same way too. I don’t remember this happening but if you say it did then we will take measures to make sure disc are were there suppose to be.

C: anime programming were awesome! I haven't spent that much time in the video rooms ever at Fanime (this is my forth year).


R: thanks once again hearing things like this makes me so happy

C: The video room schedules did get messed up a bit. I also wanted to see Red Garden and one other had been shown at an earlier time than was supposed too. Also better training for the poor video staff. On 2 separate occasions the room had to help the operators get the videos started. Also it seems that the formats of how the videos were set up; disk vs hard drive, DVD vs AVI etc. made it hard for them. One standardized player app would also help I think. I know the operators tried their best and they seemed genuinely sorry when the schedule got messed up.

R: it’s so hard to do that. Certain players will only play just a hand full of encoded anime. We tried doing that last year and it was a nightmare so we got computers but we ran in to mkv and HD crashing our power Macs. But next year since we know what needs to be done we will have everything up and running with no problems or codec’s error.

C: Anime video room time changes: Rarw, it seemed like everything I wanted to see was running really late or early so I kept missing an episode here and there.

R: once again sorry.

C: Elevating the screens finally. I was able to see all the subtitles this year, without sitting on the back of my chair, or on my knees, or standing off to the side. I REALLY appreciated this. Anime summaries outside all the doors. HUGE PLUS. Especially because we marked down several anime to see, but then when we were pressed for time, we couldn't remember which ones were the must-sees vs. the kinda-wanna-sees. Good anime variety and getting the schedules online out early so we could do research. Excellent job.

R: oh thank you so much!! You noticed all the little things we did to improve our video rooms from last year. We really do aim to please. Also if you noticed a lot of other cons don’t do this thus this is what separates Fanimecon from the rest!

C: People need to be trained properly in computer usage for showing anime. In one case, the person didn't know how to work the Mac. My friend tried to help, but was brushed away. After the audience started yelling "FULL SCREEN!!" my friend's advice was finally taken. During the second anime, the audience had to walk him through, step by step, saying stuff like, "Open... Browse... Click..." He finally got it by the third episode. (EDIT: I see this was explained above, so nvm.) Make sure all the anime works. I saw at least two anime cancelled due to corrupted files. (EDIT: ditto on the above edit comment)

R: it is a new idea (computers), we know what needs to be done now and we hope not to have this happen again.

C: So when someone forces themselves on me, I'd be the bad guy when I force them OFF of me, all because they wanted a "Hug?" Yeah, that doesn't fly. There are some serious freak shows around cons and I had to practically elbow one in the throat until he got the message to get his hands off me.

R: please people go to con ops if you don’t know were that is go to the info booth and they will tell you were it is. Lets stop this early so it doesn’t get out of hand and ruin it or the con for the rest of us.

C: Anime (overall): I was impressed with the selection of titles and I am happy that the screens were at a higher level this year so that the sub-titles could be easily read. Most of the problems have been addressed (corrupted files, people not knowing how to use the computers). Thanks to the people in the video department for getting the schedule out so early. That helped a lot.

R: another satisfied Fanimecon attendant


C: The issues with the technical difficulties couldn't really have been avoided, so I do understand, but it was still a let-down.

R: oops our bad will do better next time. Promise

Well thank you for your questions and comments. Lots of good things happen and some unforeseen problems but all in all we got threw it and gave you one of the best video programs we could offer. Right now we are working on ideas to make video run even better. Also I just have a couple of question.
1. What did you think of our new programs we put out there this year?
2. Did you see anime hell? If so did you like it as much as I did?
3. Did you check out famine short anime films? If so was it just right or do we need to improve it
4. Did you like the new line up of parodies? New and old? You say yamato, voltron hell bent for leather, robotech pineapple salad, true naruto style,
5. What other future parodies would you like to see?
6. What else can you think of that could improve video programming.
7.   Did having the anime descriptions in front of the door ways and on the net help you? Did you download them to see what ser were about?

I hope to hear from you soon and thanks for making video programming a success once again!
