Anime You May Not Have Heard Of
Enjoy obscure anime? Come join us for some deep cut anime experiences! These anime span decades and genres, but are all languishing in obscurity. You will have to convince others that these obscure anime exist! If you have seen them, congratulations! You are a true weeb.
Natsume Nights
Fighting demons is overrated. Why not befriend them? Cozy up with some slice-of-life, yokai-themed anime where ghosts are not scary demons, they’re storytellers! The yokai in this cultivated block can be friendly, wise, mean, or anything in between!
The Battle Block!
Befriending demons is overrated. Why not fight them? Come beat up some demons and watch some action-oriented blockbuster anime! Enjoy the thrills, chills, and haunts of powerful yokai and demons fighting high schoolers and adults alike in this block of carefully selected shonen anime!
Frights, Haunts, and Jaunts
Want to be scared? The Frights, Haunts, and Jaunts block has you covered! These anime all share the same goal: terrify their protagonists and audiences alike. From deep cuts to recent fare, these anime will be hard to forget.
Abridged Series Screenings
Following the satire and comedy tradition of Mystery Science Theater 3000, these anime abridged shows hold nothing sacred as they poke at plot holes and have a good laugh. First proposed by our attendees, FanimeCon introduced this room a few years ago, and we have never looked back! We welcome you to join us in watching these fan-made parodies, which are often the most ridiculous things you could ever imagine from your favorite shows! So pull up a chair and prepare to bust a gut!
Late Night Marathon of Ghost Stories
Oh, it’s back… Everyone’s favorite questionable dub–the American version of Ghost Stories–has left an indelible mark on American anime culture with its off-the-wall rewrite of the original script. Full of pop culture references and dark humor, this dub is completely and utterly unique.
It is something that needs to be seen and heard to be believed.
