Need more anime viewings

Postby tenchi5429 » Fri May 04, 2012 1:11 pm

There is not enough anime viewings on the schedule. The room is empty for half the day each day, and the anime being shown has been shown before i think. Also, there is only 1 anime room!! And no live action?!?!

Hi there! Don't worry, this year we do only have 1 anime room but for 2013, we will go back to two rooms! Additionally, the reason we arent showing anime all day is because Cosplay Judging is going to be in that room on Saturday, and at other times during the day there are going to be concerts in Main Events that you will be able to hear from the Video Room. So if we had videos going during that time, you wouldn't be able to hear the videos, and that's no fun. :/

But anyway, rest assured, there will be much more anime showings and two video rooms for 2013, even though we had to downsize for Oaks this year. Thanks for bearing with us!

I'm sorry to hear that you're so upset about the video room. We had the option of doing a very shortened video program this year, or none at all, due to the sound issues from main events, so I chose to do a condensed version just to be able to get some anime out to the crowd. Unfortunately this also meant that I had to be very picky about what we played as well. While we were given permission for a lot of different shows, including some live action and titles for the more adult attendees, I had to make an executive choice to show what would appeal to the greater variety of attendees.

This was not something that was decided on lightly, but as was already stated, we wanted to avoid the issue of sound problems before they even started.

As most of the staff is already hard at work for next years event, we too at video are also hard at work, and I can state that yes we will be going back to a full line up of different shows and genre next year, with hopefully some really nice surprises for the attendees as well.
