I've been away from the anime community for quite a while, nerding out to other things. One of these things is Magic: The Gathering.

I thought it would be fun to host some events for MtG as well as other card games, most likely Yu Gi Oh. I'm not sure what it takes to sanction them, but I'm sure it's doable at an event so large.

I was just curious to see how many people would want to take part in these sort of gaming events, and what kind of formats you would want to play?

I myself would love to just draft draft draft MtG all day long!

Hey guys, I was looking to make a plug suit for a cosplay and I was curious if anyone has ever made one before and if they have any words of advice for creating one.

Or if you think it's too complicated, but you feel that you are skilled enough to create one, I will gladly pay you for it.

Thanks a ton!

Hey kids. I was curious to see what kind of music you would like to see moreso in the dances.

I was talking to a friend I met at the con and he was telling me that he wanted some lighter, more airy or ambient techno, but all he got was this thumping trance (which I love).

I was thinking that maybe it would be possible to change the room of the dance to have a few rooms next to each other, and all playing different sorts of music. Like hip hop, disco, trance, etc.

I was curious to see if anybody would be interested in a MtG draft. I was going to buy a booster box (hopefully of all three sets in the time spiral block), but I figured I'd see who was interested.

And if you guys wanted to pitch in some extra monies, I could buy some booster packs for prizes if you guys wanted to do a constructed competition.

so? what do you guys think?

Hey guys!

Lately I've been learning a few Parapara type-dances and I think they're a lot of fun, but I think they would be more fun with MORE people!

So I toyed with the idea that maybe we could have a workshop dedicated to learning the basics of parapara and maybe even one or two dances.

I think it would be fun to teach the dances, but it would be hard to do on my own. I bet there are a few para people out there :D

So anybody interested? Maybe we could even perform it somewhere in the Con :3

I have the ParaparaParadise sound track, so I have all the music we'll ever need.

Some Parapara in case you've never seen it before

Has anybody gotten their postcards yet? Are we still getting postcards? When should we be getting them?

Aaaah (^O.o)^

I started a thread in the panel section about maybe having a panel abnout energy drinks (I wont go into detail because this is the wrong place for it, so check it out!) and the idea came up that maybe Fanime should sell energy drinks.

Have just a little "bar" or something maybe outside the video rooms or over by the other food stands out by the arcades that sells an array of energy drinks.

One may argue that you can just go to the nearest convenience store yourself and get your own energy drinks. However, most of us will be needing these at night or the wee hours of the morning, and it's not very safe for us to be roaming the streets of San Jose at night!

I'm sure there's plenty of things that I'm overlooking, but I would love to see it happen.

What do you guys think?

yes yes yes, we are all aware of the blasphemy that is at hand with Naruto and Toonami.

So now that the dreadful day has come and gone, who watched it?

what did you think of it?

I actually thought it wasn't that bad. They could have slaughtered it alot more than they did. Yes, some of the voices were bad, yes they didnt make the noses bleed to sexy no jutsu, but overall, it wasn't all too bad.

so what did you guys think?

EIT EDIT EDIT: So I've noticed that J-List will be coming to fanime!

Congradulations Fanime team! :D


One of the main parts of an anime convention is the dealers room, as you all know.

I believe that Fanime has a great dealer's room, with all the merchendise you can imagine... except for one thing. J-list.

www.j-list.com has been refusing to come and be a dealer from what I have heard.

Now I'm wondering a) why are they refusing to be dealers and b) what can we do to get them to come to Fanime Con 2006?

maybe start out with a petition? and if it's something more, then we can work on that... but in the mean time, anybody got answers? DealerJason?

I'm on my own little search for a really bloody and disturbing anime. I love blood and gore and death and all that good stuff... because i'm weird... so if you know a really bloody or disturbing anime, please mention it so i can add it to my list  :D
