We saw a few cameras running around and according to someone they said that someone responsible for doing all the fanime video recaps was there. If you have any leads, please link me as this would be wonderful.

With the 2018 theme confirmed to be "Gamers" I believe that this will be the perfect opportunity to convert their arcade a serious overall and set it to free play. While the current arcade setup is a fun diversion, if we're really going to go all out on this theme then some improvements to Fanime's arcade setup need to be made. It would not look very promising to say that Fanime is going to push the gamer theme front and center when its arcade (the benchmark for all things video game related) looks the way it is right now.

Now I understand that doing a free play setup is going to be costly and that at this moment not to many people buy badges because of the arcade but I do think that Fanime has much to gain in the areas of reputation and event flow that I feel would make the cost worth it.

1. A free arcade will allow Fanime to update its game selection - Aside from the Terminator shooter and Jubeat, Fanime has little to offer the modern arcade fan in addition it's current selection of Benami games are outdated and anemic. Japanese music games and anime cons go well together like cat ears and maid outfits as many fans of those games frequent anime cons. Free play will allow arcade provides to bring newer machines as they're no longer worried about turning profits given the cost of operation is paid upfront.

2. Free play will help Fanime catch up to other - From Momocon to MAGFest and Colossalcon, anime conventions around the US are switching to freeplay arcades. This trend has not happened in California with many of their anime cons forgoing arcades completely. To my knowledge only Fanime and Anime Expo have arcade machines and both are paid. By switching to free play, Fanime will be ushering California conventions to the mainstream and will be the first anime con in the entire state to do so!

3. The demand for arcade machines is building up - Round One's success in both San Jose and Concord is proof that people are willing to visit arcades. Meanwhile popular franchises such as DDR and Pump it UP have released new machines that are less than a year old. Arcade companies are making a comeback and people are coming back to arcades. A free play arcade is going to be well attended and well appreciated.

4. A free play arcade will naturally draw in more people than a paid arcade - Now this sounds like a no brainier. It is obvious that people are more likely to play a machine if they don't have to put money inside of it but let's look to why this benefits Fanime. It's a simple equation, the more people in the Fanime arcade means the less people walking the halls of Fanime. What this means is that during peak hours the amount of foot traffic around Fanime will be reduced making it much easier to traverse the convention hall.

5. Sales at late night refreshment stands with go up - When you got an arcade open 24 hours that more people will be attending at and staying then many of these players are going to need something to eat and drink. This goes double for anyone playing dance games as they'll be working up a sweat and burning calories like mad. Now I'm not saying that Fanime will make up the cost but just wanted to bring this point up as to show that there are some financial gains to be had.

6. With fanime's next theme set for "gaming" it would be an embarrassment to the convention's reputation if we pushed a gamer theme but present an old paid to play arcade - I talked about already but wanted to reiterate it here. Fanime's arcade selection and business practices are becoming a thing of the past. The gamer theme will put the arcade under stricter scrutiny for attendees and critics. Let push the arcade into the future and make it Fanime's gaming crown jewel as opposed to a faded side act.

7. The free to play arcade will give Fanime's night life the shot in the arm it needs - So I love late night Fanime however even I will admit that if the late night panels don't peak your interest and you're not into room parties then things look sparse. Well the arcade gives you one more thing to do and a lot more machines to play. Fanime has been criticized for its lack of late night activities and this would be a great step in the right direction that does not involve the consumption of alcohol.

8. There will be way last time post con calculating profits - I can only imagine how difficult it is for OCE to count up quarters, hall around loose bills and then for them and Fanime to fill out the appropriate paperwork in order to properly split the profits. Sure Fanime will be paying for these machines but its a one and done deal and all arcade staff has to worry about is simply maintain the machines as opposed to trying to turn a profit. It will be a more relaxing experience for all parties involved.

9. More opportunity for tournaments - Oh Fanime has the staple of smash tournaments and some dance games but how about tournaments using Point blank or Initial D. More machines means we can have more opportunities for events. Again, this will be a great time for us to really turn the theme of gamers from window dressing  to actually embodying the convention.

Conclusion
It's a lot to ask for Fanime in order to switch it's arcade over. I'm not asking this just so I can play a few machines without dropping quarters. I'm asking for this as I believe this will make for a better Fanime for everyone.

We had a fun time last year so it only makes sense that we come back. Doesn't matter what fed your wrestler of choice comes from, you'll be welcomed here with open arms and stiffer super kicks. We promise this gathering will be too sweet.

Time: Sunday 1PM (tentative)
Location: Fountains
General Activities: Pictures, nerding out, possible lunch and of course S.Link Building

Seeing how there's an RPG gathering at fanime this year, and there will be Shin Megami peeps there, I thought it's only fitting that we all get together for general fun. Pretty much I I choose 1 PM as the RPG gahtering is at 11 AM so people involved can have time to actually enjoy the gathering and rest up a bit before heading to the one I'm organizing.

We always have one every year yet there hasn't been a thread dedicated to the event yet so to save time and headaches I thought it would be fitting one make one now. The exact day and time I'm not too sure on as of yet and currently I'm just gauging overall interest among the fanime attendance to see if we can go into our third year.

Attending List
Cosplay Cyborg - Alice Teddie?
G-Force - Human Teddie
edenmon - Yukari
heeroyuy135 - Junpei
Varnani and Friend - Femcee Ryougi

I've seen a few Kenichi cosplayers walking around AX a few years ago (a Kisara by the fountains and a Hermit in the artist alley) and I always wished that we can gather in one place to have a big photoshoot. With that said I propose to have the first series's ever gathering at AX in 2010.

Given how the show doesn't have the same level of popularity as others I don't have an exact date or time determined. I'm mainly using this thread as a means to gauge overall interest in the idea.

Normally I'd keep the character I'm dressing up as I love surprising people with my choices but in the interest of getting ready I will say that I will be going as Niijima and I'll even a have a group of lackies following me around carrying the Shinpaku Flag. My plans for 2010 are to spread awareness of the Shinpaku Alliance as well as to actively recruit new fighters.

New applicants please post here and I'll consider letting you in the strongest group of fighters that ever existed!

In celebration of the fanime staff's wonderful choice of having an AVGN marathon at the con, I think it would be real cool if we had a mini cosplay gathering at the viewing room where all us Nerd fans dress up like our favorite foul mouth game reviewer. All you really need is a white dress shirt, glasses and dress pants (bonus points for a Power Glove). Really this gathering is really just for fun above everything else. Maybe if we get enough people involved we can take a picture and send it to the Nerd's site.

Who thinks this is a good idea?

Hello there Persona players and all other fans of the famous series from Atlas. I would like to have a gathering/meet up with all those who want to show their love through the medium of cosplay. Seeing how the fanbase for Persona is quiet small compared to games like Kingdom Hearts, I think that we should discuss the meeting time/place so we can choose a moment where we are all available. This thread will be used as a way to gauge the overall interest the cosplay community has toward this idea along with proposing possible  times etc. Hope to see this idea take off.
