Updated for 2022!  No video schedule yet, but other data imported, and I will re-import from the live schedule as it gets updated.

FanimeCon has made the decision to have these policies in place. We also have decided to not have further discussion on this topic in this forum.

This thread is locked and we ask you to respect the decision of the convention with respect to our policies and our management of this platform.

Phew! Sorry for the absence, everyone. Sometimes life just throws you a broken vase.

I am so excited to see everyone on Sunday! Please do comment down below if you are interested in sharing what cosplays you will be wearing.

We also hope to see many of your lovely faces at the Black and White Ball if you are able to make it. (My episode 2 Haruhi is on hold until next year!)

Have fun, and stay safe this weekend everyone!

Hey gamers! I'll be picking up some Faygo from my local liquor store before con. I'll be sure to bring enough to share!

Is gathering registration still open for 2022?

Thank you for asking! Our gathering registration closed on April 30th.

Fanime has your money, so they don't care about you now.

Mega Events are defined as events with a thousand people or more, so Fanime is classified as a “Mega Event”
Here are the current guidelines for an event this size:

Federal Guidelines:
- No vaccination requirements
- No mask requirement
- Negative test is ALLOWED

State Guidelines: https://covid19.ca.gov/mega-events/#indoor-events
- No vaccination requirements
- No mask requirement
- Negative test is ALLOWED

Santa Clara Local Guidelines: https://www.santaclaraca.gov/i-want-to/stay-informed/coronavirus-updates/county-and-state-public-health-orders
- No vaccination requirements
- No mask requirement
- Negative test is ALLOWED

Fanime is disallowing all medical/personal/religious exemptions.
Fanime is disallowing proof of negative covid results.
Fanime is requiring masks.
Fanime is requiring multiple shots and boosters, even if you have adverse reactions to it, and in spite of the numerous side effects people are getting from them, like persistent rashes, heart problems, blood clots and strokes.

None of these policies are required by ANY state, local, or federal agencies.

Fanime is also not responding to people (8 emails and counting with no reply from them), and is not issuing refunds to people, even though they have already taken our money.

Fanime has NEVER required any type of vaccination or shot in previous years, and this was never a condition of entry in any year, or when many of us purchased our ticket in 2019.

That means this year, even if you have an active covid infection, you can go!
Getting the shots doesn’t stop you from being sick, but as long as you got the required number of shots in your body, it’s fine!

Totally fine right? Is anyone else ticked off they can't go this year because of these policies? I'd be less mad if they gave me a refund, but they don't even want to do that.

Good morning old schoolers!

Keeping it going with another hugely popular title from the 90's boom.

I'm excited to see everyone at this gathering. I'm new to the fan base myself, but I'm gonna try and bring Akkun for this.

I'm excited too, it's coming  up fast! We'll be stoked to have you!! Akkun is a great choice too!

7 more days till our gathering!
