On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, the crew get to add to the board with 30 more waifus (and some surprises) and see where they land on our tier board. Plus Dalton (who we haven't heard in awhile) points out the obvious with all our picks. Linktree - https://linktr.ee/caconblog Matthew's Instagram - instagram.com/mvm88mirandaMatthew's Coscom Profile - cosplay.com/member/41744Ryan's Facebook - facebook.com/ryusan777Ryan's Twitch - twitch.tv/ryusan777Nate's Instagram - instagram.com/nateb39007Nate's Twitter - twitter.com/nateb39007Nate's Twitch - twitch.tv/natesgameplay2Jeriko's Instagram - instagram.com/epicnursejerikoWant to start a podcast of your own?

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.

On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, we recap the three major anime awards once again - Crunchyroll, Anime Trending, and Reddit - and talk about if this year might be the year we finally get some changes for the Crunchyroll Awards from the top down. 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.‘The Boy and the Heron’ Delivers Hayao Miyazaki His Second Oscar - https://variety.com/2024/artisans/awards/oscars-hayao-miyazaki-the-boy-and-the-heron-1235937629/Oscar Academy Demographics - https://criticalmediaproject.org/oscar-academy-demographics-2/[Crunchyoll] Anime Awards 2024 Winners: Anime of the Year and Full List - https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2024/3/2/anime-awards-2024-winners-anime-of-the-year/r/anime Awards 2023 - https://animeawards.moe/results/all10th Anime Trending Awards - https://www.anitrendz.com/ata/results/2024Comparing the winners of the r/anime, Crunchyroll, and Anime Trending Awards - https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1bdphto/comparing_the_winners_of_the_ranime_crunchyroll/Linktree - https://linktr.ee/caconblog Matthew’s Bluesky Profile - https://bsky.app/profile/mattykuncos.bsky.socialMatthew's Instagram - instagram.com/mvm88mirandaMatthew's Coscom Profile - cosplay.com/member/41744Ryan's Facebook - facebook.com/ryusan777Ryan's Twitch - twitch.tv/ryusan777Nate's Instagram - instagram.com/nateb39007Nate's Twitter - twitter.com/nateb39007Nate's Twitch - twitch.tv/natesgameplay2Jeriko's Instagram - instagram.com/epicnursejerikoWant to start a podcast of your own?

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.Stephen A Smith clip - https://twitter.com/stephenasmith/status/1766239271302684687Official statement on Toriyama-san’s death - https://twitter.com/DB_official_en/status/1765935471971213816?s=20Dragon Ball Creator Akira Toriyama Dies at 68 - https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-03-07/dragon-ball-creator-akira-toriyama-dies-at-68/.208430The Anime/Manga World Offers Condolences After Dragon Ball Creator Akira Toriyama's Death - https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2024-03-08/the-anime-manga-world-offers-condolences-after-dragon-ball-creator-akira-toriyama-death/.208432Persona 3 Reload: Expansion Pass trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRIkpLo42GMBrackets - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PI1e_d_20vGrcC-UquzQZ2dgQjif_H4GfOzaBaTuKlk/edit?usp=sharingLinktree - https://linktr.ee/caconblog Matthew’s Bluesky Profile - https://bsky.app/profile/mattykuncos.bsky.socialMatthew's Instagram - instagram.com/mvm88mirandaMatthew's Coscom Profile - cosplay.com/member/41744Ryan's Facebook - facebook.com/ryusan777Ryan's Twitch - twitch.tv/ryusan777Nate's Instagram - instagram.com/nateb39007Nate's Twitter - twitter.com/nateb39007Nate's Twitch - twitch.tv/natesgameplay2Jeriko's Instagram - instagram.com/epicnursejerikoWant to start a podcast of your own?
