The CaliConBlogCast

Born to (Not) Make History

Episode 148

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.
