On this epsiode of the CaliConBlogCast, we recap the last month or so while on hiatus - from Nate's conerns about FanimeCon, the crew reflecting on Aquors on the heels of their final perforrmance, Matthew's weekend in Reno for Sonic Neon Summit, to Ryan's time with ZZZ and LiSA - plus we look at Anime Expo 2025 and jump to the "what we're looking forward to" segment. In between all that there's lots and lots of Umamusume talk and Matthew getting distracted errr multitasking while Ryan wonders why we're not playing P5X.

With Nate out for his annual trip with his friends down to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl, we all decided to take the week off for a break, which happens to also be the 1st weekend of the Monster Hunter Wilds beta test. Since the beta is running for two weeks, we will have our full impressions on the epsiode after the Waifu Roast.
On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, we revisit Anime Expo to see how Jeriko faired with his hotel booking, Nate rants about FanimeCon's hotel booking, and somehow we tie the two together with Nvidia's 5000 series GPU launch. Also Matthew is annoyed about whole Gamers Nexus/Linus Tech Tips feud, a whole bunch of bad news from all walks of life - from shaftings and disbandments to deaths and things that won't die - and a date for Summers Game Fest with Multiverses and Fortnite crashing the party. We end the podcast by revealing our picks for the 5th Annual Waifu Roast in two weeks time.

SacAnime Winter & Anime Los Angeles 2025 Previews + 2024 Year-End Review & 2025 Predictions
31 Dec 2024
02:21:43
On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, we preview both SacAnime Winter 2025 and Anime Los Angeles 2025 as well as wrapping up the year with our look back at 2024 & our predictions and outlook for 2025. Can we determine a third series/game/meme/something that will dominate the cosplay scene in 2025? What could we see from the likes of Rockstar and Nintendo in 2025 especially in the first quarter? Can we continue to build off of the wins that we had this year? And can Ryan redeem himself for the ribbons he missed out at last year's ALA when Matthew flips on him?

Unfortunately we don't have our 2024 Year-in-Review and 2025 Predictions episode because Nate was sick over the weekend and it wouldn't be right to exclude him from this year-end episode. next week we’ll squeeze in both our SacAnime Winter and ALA 2025 Previews as well as our 2024 recap and 2025 outlook, then we go on break for two weeks, then come back with our recaps for those two cons.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at the California Conventions Blog and the CaliConBlogCast!

On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, we're previewing The Game Awards 2024 before Thanksgiving instead of Decemeber because of the nomination announcement stream that occured earlier in the week. We look at everyone who made it, all of the snubs *cough*Persona 3 Reload*cough*, scratch our head over the overlap of games especially at the top, and gripe over Elden Ring DLC as a GOTY nominee. And since we're pushing back the topic about gambling on anime, we let ChatGPT take the wheel and stick some odds on the top categories and look at the Golden Joystick Awards to see if there can be any correlation come December 12th.

Thank You FanimeCon Community + 2nd Annual Waifu Tier List Teaser
17 Apr 2024
00:03:38
On this filler episode of the CaliConBlogCast, we forgot to mention that we were going on an abrupt haitus because someone attended a wedding last week but within that week so we have gotten numerous emails about last week's discussion about FanimeCon and a mention of the Failed by Fanime. Thank you all to everyone who has reached out so far with comments, stories, or opening up inquiries. If you want to send us anything, please email us at caconblog@gmail.com or DM us on our various social media accounts which you cand find all of them at https://linktr.ee/caconblog .
We will be revisiting this in two weeks as next week will be our 2nd Annual Waifu Tier List episode with new waifus to rank and maybe some old waifus that some of the panel felt like we unfairly ranked and want to give them a second chance.

Plus we discuss the Oscar win for The Boy and The Heron and ask if "anime won or Hayao Miyazaki won" and Matthew looks at the prospect of bringing back a bracket for the crew to re-evaulate.
Note: We forgot to go over Best Director for the Crunchyroll Anime Awards but at this rate you can kind of guess who won.

On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, we return to a more "traditional" bracket to determine our Anime of the Year! Will the two anime winners from Crunchyroll and Reddit be anywhere near the top? Will it somehow end up being the "shounen bracket?" And can Jeriko get redemption for Mushoku Tensei? Plus we open the show by paying our respects to one of the GOATs in anime and manga and acknowledge the existence of Persona 3 Reload DLC.

In honor of the Valentine's Day/President's Day weekend, the blog returns to the BBQ hoedown known as the Waifu Garbage Roast with a five pack of various waifus to throw on the grill.
(This is the "Served Raw" episode - meaning this unedited as an apology missing last week's show due to one of the show members being out. We will have an edited episode later down the line - I promise.)
