Putting the official hat aside (meaning, I'm not speaking for Fanime or programming) and speaking a little from personal experience, working with other people outside of Fanime puts you on their time schedule, not yours. So, you can have everything planned out down to the date, and the other people can and will blow your carefully planned schedule to hell. And sometimes, it's even you who's responsible for blowing it because you got sick, personal situations came up, or you just needed a break from your split personality lives.

Anyways, I think I can say that those of us at Fanime who put in a ton of hard work to get our guests would have loved to give you something as early as January...

Oh, putting the official hat on for a sec, Fanime does have some guests to announce soon.. I think they have to do with music fest... I think I heard it's probably going to be longer than just a night.... something about one of them only playing on Thursday night as a "we so totally got lucky they wanted to play at Fanime again before going on to their big weekend gig".. I wasn't really paying attention (give me a break, it's my glorified 4 day weekend my dumb butt college calls a spring break), but you know, that sort of announcement.

:twisted:

i don't care when announcements of guests are made, but i just want guests that appeal to me, i mean what about people who go to cons who don't care for musicfest? It just depresses me because all i hear is good news for people who like jrock/bands, but never anything about voice acotrs, or artists etc... for guests

Any japanese seiyu guests lined up in the future?

Not that I know of.

The cry of most Fanime attendees lately has been to lower the amount of Bands and increase the number of guests. I think that while we desire more guests, we should also be courteous to those who agree to come to fanime. I know that I would be insulted if I offered my time and energy to come do a panel at Fanime and then hear that the Fanime attendees wanted 'better' guests.

While the desire for more guests (and arguably, more notable guests) is a legitimate one, we should also be careful not to insult the ones who are already willing to come out on our behalf.

I personally haven't said "lower the amount of bands plzzzzz"

I'm simply asking can we get guests that aren't just for the music event for fanimeee?? I mean can we have voice actors/artists/ ANYTHING? along with the music bands???

Not to be demanding, but does anyone know how it's going on the Guest front? Fanime is in two months, so are the new ones going to be last minute or does Yamaga-san have to entertain us all?... Just a quandary. D:

I asked Tony a while back, and it seems like he had a bunch of bands on standby. Thing is, he can't announce guests or bands until they sign a contract.

Chances are the guest list will get increases in huge floods. Like, we'll find out there are 5 bands and two more guests a month beforehand, and then guests and bands will trickle in as the contracts are signed.

At least, I'm pretty sure that's what the situation is at the moment.

*cries* but what bout us who dun really care for bands ;_;!! I want something other than music guests, or at least get some jpop guests i'd be ok with that!!!!! ;_; please fanime get something!!!!!

I'm a bit concerned as to why there is only one gues on the list so far. True there's still over 100 days until the con, but are they being hid from us intentionally or are there really no other guests besides Yamaga?

Just wondering.

Actually I have about 5 bands lined up for MusicFest, but until they're signed, I can't say anything.  :(

There are also domestic guests that need to be added to the website, I believe.

I just wish ther'd be something OTHER than musicfest guests ~_~ I'd like to see more voice actors, and artists, i mean for the past 2 years i haven't been too pleased with the guests... well at least none that i find any interest in..

how long will it be before we know if it will actually happen and become more than just speculation??? 2 weeks, janurary etc.? any idea on when we'll know if this'll happen? just curious...

I'm planning to have a gathering for this series. So if you guys are interested you guys should come and join me. It'll be fun. :D I'm most likely do Kouya... But I'll see. :p I'm going to make a thread about the gathering... Soon. :p

~Imari

isn't it really early to plan a gathering already? I mean it's a lil less than a year away, and most people change there minds so much that, that's why gatherings shouldn't be planned so damn early @_@!!!

another reasonn is because what's the point really XD;; i'd wait till fanime was actually a month or two away and then ask, but that's just me even my sister thinks it's way weird to start it this early.

I totally can NOT make it on thursday! I already told my hotel to drop thursday, because nothing was going on!!

I could've sworn you said it was on and we had that one time slot open @.@

me too!!!!

I wanted to know, how will we know if we are selected to be a game show contestant?

Like do you email us? and when would we find  out? Do the contestants choose what day and time they go? Thanks!!

count me out if it's on thursday  :cry:

[I need this by Saturday.]

I say both days after 10pm, really. :O It wouldn't be conflicting with anything, amirite?

Dance is in the room after 9pm.

I still need someone to step up and be a DJ/provide me with tracks. I need this by Saturday.

I think the staffing will be ok.

After 9p.m? what day?

gmomt- yeah i agree, I think if people want dance/house mixes that's the purpose of the other dance ya know??

That's the reason why some of us suggested a "ball/alternative dance" so that we had the option to be more formal, or do ballroom dancing etc~

sooo im cosplaying at neko from trigun and seras victoria from hellsing. but i can only get one pair of contscts, so i need help desiding wich ones.

plezzz help. :/

OMG! there aren't enough neko's from trigun running around you SO need those green contacts !!! *_* I'll totally take pics of you and glomp you XD!!! get the cat eyes!

Hey I saw the website has updated the panels/workshops page.

But all it does is describe each panel. Will there be an update saying the location and time of these??

I'd really like to go to some of the panels you have this year so please let us know!!!!

i say lets meet up by the two escalators in the huge area before reg =3 it seems like where most people meet up, and we can  move on from there!

I'm kinda glad it's on friday XD don't change it please!!!

I knocked some flyer ideas together with sprites and whatnot from http://ggxlol.highervoltage.net/
Sol, Ky, and Millia
Johnny, May
Venom, Chipp, Faust
Anji, Baiken
There weren't big sprites for a lot of the characters, hence the lack of ABA, Bridget, and Dizzy. ;_; But anyhow, the idea was that since they're 4x5 inches, you could print 4 designs per page. I thought it might keep people's interest up, and this way I could include more characters but keep the flyers from getting too busy.

Oh, and the fullview looks hideous, but they print out pretty nice. Mildly pixelated, but not too bad.

My friend and I are going to see if we can hijack our school's computer lab and big fancy printer to print flyers for free. I'll keep you posted on the results...

aw no love for jam and I-no??? But I like the idea you have, but I can't read the writing very well @_@;

if i were to choose from that group I'd pick the first one, and the last one.

But one issue i have is that the first sample flyer, i don't recognize that image with all the girls in it and I wouldn't think it's guilty gear unless i took a closer look and read the text.

one suggestion i have if anyone else considers making flyers, is to have the guilty gear cast in there normal P1 outfits, that's the most recognizeable thing to me as guilty gear, the artbook images are pretty but they dont scream guilty gear to me.

it doesn't sound like this event will happen ~_~

that's sad because I've been wanting to have a more formal dance, that had a theme at fanime for years now! And another year will go by and no ball for us V_V

Totally unrelated so just tell me if it's wrong to ask here or not but: Why are some people saying that Fanime hasn't been so good for the last 2 years? I guess I'm still a noob when it comes to Fanime because this is my second time going so maybe I'm just out of the loop or something? I was there last year with my veyr closest friends and some people from my anime club. We all had a blast.

Well I've been going to fanime for 5 years now, and I agree with the whole it's been going downhill for the past two years, because in the previous years before those I really enjoyed fanime and what they offered such as

-guests that appealed to me
-free goodies from sponsors, i love that stuff what happened to it?!  :cry:
-some of the volunteers/staff being jerks

anyways this year seems to be taken a turn for a better I'm really excited about

-the changes in the masquerade
-interest in one of the new guests ( I wish I could say I was interested in more than just one though ~_~)

So i'm hoping to enjoy myself more this year.

On the first page, under the cosplay.com members who said they'd go, someone said there doing order sol. ^^

I have some more people doing guilty gear, but I don't know if they're coming to the gathering I'll ask them. but there doing

-chipp
-baiken
+
-jam(me)
-sol
-ky

Anyways where would the location be? I'm not too fond of having it outside, because of my Jam hair =(

My suggestion is having it be in the huge area inside the con center thats right across from registration, and leads out to the fountains. Here's a picture for those who don't know~

http://fma.warcry.com/scripts/images/view_image.phtml?id=61534&site=76 ( i think the full metal alchemist gathering was going on in this pic)

That way the people on the balcony, where this picture was taken, can see the gathering as well, and then if it's windy outside, people don't have to worry about there costume being ruined, because it's inside ^^

my sis is also doing jam and feels the same way about her hair. I think we should do both that way it's fair for those who want to be safe and still be in the gathering, and allow those who want to take photo's outside afterwards please! =D

It'd suck to not be with everyone else, if it's going ot be outside!

Oh and I'm considering doing a guilty gear costume too, but I'm keeping it a secret =3!!!

( going off  http://forums.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=76518)
saturday is pretty much dominated by final fantasy and is (more or less) filled. Sunday looks pretty much filled up until the mandatory Der masquerade meetings. soooo... it looks monday or friday.

i would suggest 6  or 6:30 pm friday evening. it'll folow the Capcom v. Snk gathering.

Ill just have to run to get changed from rock to chipp. heh.

That's no fair to us who aren't there on those days =((

I mean me and my sister will only be at fanime on saturday.

And I don't know about the rest of the guilty gear cosplayers, but my sis planned long ago that she'd wear guilty gear on saturday O_O;;

as for location i <3 being inside XD; Can someone show a picture of the outside location?? Maybe if it's really cool i'll go out there!
