On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, we look at another fan favorite VTuber Ceres Fauna graduating in January and the pivot that COVER Corp is making from livestreaming to music. We also take grander at the 2nd NZXT fiasco, Sony eyeing Kadokawa, Crunchyroll becoming the villain once again, Studio Khara making a new Gundam anime, The Game Awards, a follow up to our discussion about the Cosplayer Survivor Support Network (well more like a singular question), SacAnime Winter 2025 expanding out, and Anime Los Angeles 2025 floor plans for Dealers and Artists Alley.
