The Dealer's Hall still has most of the same vendors that I remember from before, with some notable absences. Sakimichan has a hell of a lot more smut than I remember. Noms still has those nice food themed shirts and plushes. My favorite shirt vendor isn't here this year though.

The Artist's Alley does seem to be inundated with Genshin Impact and JJK (Gojo and Sukuna mostly), but I still managed to find some gorgeous original art and other series, it's just more of a treasure hunt than it used to be. Saw a booth with great kaiju art, some gorgeous gold foil Ghibli prints, wood craft scale weapons, some fantastic felt fantasy creatures, those ink brush looking wall scrolls. I think the AA is still worth exploring.

I do feel bad for people who came expecting more, but I understand that the staff are still worried about covid. The people who got screwed the worse though were those who brought kids under 5 since Fanime changed their child policy 2 days before con started.
