I am sorry, but registration needs to have a better system than the one that was in place. In order to go faster, you need more booths for pre-reg and reg. Everything should be computerized with bar codes or keep it the same (which was okay-ish) for pre-reg, and for at-con reg they should hand out the reg papers while in line so they only have to hand it once up there. They should also print out the badge at the booth; making us wait in another line just for the badge is very ridiculous. I have never attended a con that ever did that and I now know why; you slow down the line that way. Also, the con bags should come with the lanyard/attachments for the badge already in them, thus speeding up the process. Just hand the bags as everyone is leaving the registration area. Like come on, waiting in line for 4-6 hours in line and missing almost a whole day at con is very ridiculous. I needed to go cancel my room and move my stuff to a different hotel room, I was getting very frustrated waiting in that line-ception.
I believed this con was a very disorganized and I may never go back. This was my first time going to a con outside of Los Angeles and my impression of Fanime has turned from awesome to god awful. I was expecting it to be similar to Anime Expo, but it was not (just because both are very large anime cons). I am sorry to say but the staff needs to be trained better and the con seriously need to be organized better. The only saving point to this con was the Dance (which was okay) and the cosplayers. And I may not return next year due to this awful experience with the convention itself. In my opinion it was not really worth the 6 hour drive up.
