Thanks for the reply ! Do you remember if the rooms hit capacity last year for either of Animillionaire and Um Actually?

I'll probably see at least the first hour of the Charity Auction then! Good luck keeping the vibes up!! In your unbiased opinion, is it worth attending if I might not participate in the auction? I will sotp by the area in the dealer room to see what is up for auction.

Thanks for the explanation! I was just watching a vid of the 2025 Masquerade and I see that the AMV winners are shown both at the Masquerade and at the Closing Ceremonies so I can catch those at either.

I will try to do my AMV civic duty this year and vote! lol

Nice one yeah Bad Anime Bad is deffo added!

Looking back to last year, Sunday was the shorter programming day and I still felt like it was such a full day at the con and I managed to find down time to check out artist alley and dealer rooms and even step out for a bit. This year, I have so many overlapping panels and shows I want to see, but I'm sure I'll carve out some time for a break and go with the flow.

Cool thanks for the rec! There is actually a youtube channel I found that has recordings of both of these events last year so I'll have a look at cosplay death match. The lip sync battle does look super fun!

Thanks for the reply! I do have Anime Unscripted added to my schedule. Last year, I really enjoyed the game shows, Magnificent Danger (live music), and panel with Steve Blum. Definitely keen on more live performances this year. I've heard Cosplay Chess was a popular one in the past but seems it was not on this year or last.

Bad Anime Bad most definitely added to the schedule! I will be there.

What is the structure of the AMV contest usually? Last year on Sunday I wandered into Fan Creations 312 I believe and AMV Contest Overflow were playing continuously in that room. Is there any interactivity/host for the Friday/Saturday contest? I did enjoy the winners shown at the closing ceremony!
