[Schedule's up!]

Where are the industries?  😭  No Crunchyroll, Rightstuf, Viz, Goodsmile….  I miss all the freebies.  Remember the Ponycanyon paper lantern display?  Will they ever be back??  I miss the dealers room looking like Times Square.

[Otakon 2022: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly]

Good:  Lots of great fan panels - it was hard to choose because the topics were all interesting.  I had zero problems getting into, out of and around the convention despite the crowds.   Being early and planning ahead helped.  I had my badge mailed ahead of time and went through the Marriot Entrance around 8am and waltzed through.  Loved the Artist Alley - glad to see them getting lots of love!!

 The Bad -  Where were the big Industries?  Aniplex, RightStuf, Crunchy??  Sailor Moon is 30 years old and we didn't get a Moon panel!!  The most promoted/hyped anime on the video screens was Nandos PeriPeri.  Traffic routing was out of hand - there needs to be better signage, floor arrows, ropes etc.

The Ugly:  No Japanese Food Vendors!!  ::Sadface::
