Can we determine a third series/game/meme/something that will dominate the cosplay scene in 2025? What could we see from the likes of Rockstar and Nintendo in 2025 especially in the first quarter? Can we continue to build off of the wins that we had this year? And can Ryan redeem himself for the ribbons he missed out at last year's ALA when Matthew flips on him?

And since we're pushing back the topic about gambling on anime, we let ChatGPT take the wheel and stick some odds on the top categories and look at the Golden Joystick Awards to see if there can be any correlation come December 12th.

Plus discussions on diversity, keeping it local/West Coast, and how a "music and gaming" centric convention sets itself apart in the crowded California scene with mentions of anime body pillows and our wish list for future themes.

(This is a slightly edited but largely unedited version of our conversation and you'll understand why I wanted to get this up ASAP. Something with hotels apparently...)

]]> On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, we look into the recent announcments of FanimeCon and figure out if they make sense & we circle back at those who have contacted us since our discussion of #FailedByFanime. Plus AX with a move that is a double-edged sword, Pixiv bows down to the overlords of payment processors, we chronicle Miku Expo from dead pixels to showing up at Coachella, FLOW goes on tour, & news that came way too late: the cancellation of the Yuri!!! on ICE movie. Finally, we revive the "Good News" segment by celebrating the release of the Persona 3 Reload soundtrack to the masses and a release date to Metaphor: ReFantazio. Plus something about edging and undoing.

Editors Note: Yes, we are fully aware that AVOX has been postponed until Spring 2023. We will address that on the next episode.

]]> On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, we preview the second wave of incoming anime as the weather gets better and look towards spring as well as looking at the impact that the Crunchyroll-Funimation merger will have on the simulcast side. We also preview the 2nd SAO Progressive movie, the RWBY anime, & a collaboration between Love Live and Code Geass, try not to get our hopes up on con guest announcements, and discuss three recent developments from Sony, Nvidia, & E3 (and someone will probably try to get one crew member definitely banned from talking about GPUs).

]]> On this first episode CaliConBlogCast for 2022, some of the crew talk about the conventions that they went to - or didn't go to - last week. The crew also discuss CES and one person's desire to ban another from mentioning a piece of computer hardware, another collaboration between a computer hardware manufacturer and an anime, Ryan's motherboard as a potential fire hazard, and preview what they're looking forward with the new year of anime starting with the Winter 2022 offerings.

]]> Buzzsprout-9865264 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 05:00:00 -0800 5585 63 full true 2021 Year-in-Review & 2022 Predictions 2021 Year-in-Review & 2022 Predictions On this final episode of the CaliConBlogCast for 2021, we look back at our 2021 predictions and talk about the year in the review - from pandemics to a convention to PC parts - as well as giving our 2022 predictions for conventions and cosplay. Will the era of the mega convention vanish post-COVID? Will Genshin Impact and Demon Slayer continue to rule the 2022 cosplay scene? And now that we have a year of the podcast under our belts and our first convention report in over two years, what's on the horizon for all of us - from conventions to cosplay to life in general?

EDITOR NOTE: This episode was recorded on 12/19, a day before TaiyouCon put out a formal statement regarding the allegations and their separation from Gackto from all aspects of the convention. 

Special intro in honor of the late Sayaka Kanda, who passed away 12/18 at the age of 35.

On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, the crew go over what it's like to attend conventions now versus the first time we attended one and early days of the blog (aka late 2000s/early 2010s), plus Matthew talks about a piece of technology (much to the dismay of Ryan) that not only changed society as a whole but also changed how we attend a convention. Plus we tell a cautionary tale of trying to obtain Squid Game cosplay weeks before Halloween and/or Kumoricon and discuss Disney+'s recent announcement about anime and Asian media & SAO voice talent getting involved with Japanese baseball. We also answer our first mailbag question as we walk through a first-timer's convention experience.

On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, the crew go over what it's like to attend conventions now versus the first time we attended one and early days of the blog (aka late 2000s/early 2010s), plus Matthew talks about a piece of technology (much to the dismay of Ryan) that not only changed society as a whole but also changed how we attend a convention. Plus we tell a cautionary tale of trying to obtain Squid Game cosplay weeks before Halloween and/or Kumoricon and discuss Disney+'s recent announcement about anime and Asian media & SAO voice talent getting involved with Japanese baseball. We also answer our first mailbag question as we walk through a first-timer's convention experience.

What if Akira Toriyama was more interested in Quests than Balls?  What if Hideki Anno had a budget and more than blue ink? And what would be the fate of FanimeCon if Anime Expo never moved to Anaheim in 1994? All this and more in our "What If" segment. We also discuss the live action Cowboy Bebop series, a potential WWE anime, and a shoe collaboration with Animal Crossing.

]]> Buzzsprout-8964914 Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:00:00 -0700 7302 45 full true How to Convention Survival Guide Part 4 - The Actual Convention How to Convention Survival Guide Part 4 - The Actual Convention In our fourth in a five part series, we finally get to the part that probably matters the most: the actual convention itself. From schedule planning to how to run a gathering to dealing with 3am drunk calls, we break it all down. We also observe anime sightings from the Tokyo Olympics as well as discussing more allegations against Activation Blizzard, Title 20 and how it affects pre-build computers, & the changing rules with Sac Anime once again.

]]> Buzzsprout-8711101 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 08:00:00 -0700 7686 38 full true Gundam Nostalgia Gundam Nostalgia Did Jeriko (and Nate) win the silicon lottery? Is Elden Ring actually coming out? Do we need an enhanced version of Doki Doki Literature Club? What is our favorite Gundam series and nostalgia moments? And why does Matthew remember yaoi fanfics from the 2000s? Find out on this episode of the CaliConBlogCast! Also news from AX Lite, V-CRX, and SacAnime Summer.

Editor's Note: We're using the term "silicon lottery" different than what the official definition is. While we're using it in terms of actually obtaining a GPU in this difficult market, the real definition is along the lines of obtaining a GPU (or CPU) that can overclock better than others.

Detours include why SAO is getting shafted once again, why one title doesn't deserve to be nominated for anime of the year, whether or not Makoto Shinkai should be nominated for Best Director, what categories should be brought back for 2022, and the impact of Netflix on the anime industry. We also touch on topics from last week as well as teasing our Valentine's Day special episode...

]]> On the first episode of the revived California Conventions Blog Podcast (or CaliConBlogCast for short), Matthew, Ryan, Dalton, and Jeriko discuss the podcast as a whole as well as what we've been up to since conventions were canceled and stay-at-home orders were issued, especially from an RN's point of view. We'll also discuss the major news from MAGFest, give our convention predictions for 2021 - if conventions come back in 2021, the Crunchyroll/Funimation merger, and cosplay trends for 2021.
