Auditorium 3 Schedule:

12:30 – 1:30 p.m. — Anime Only Connect

If you’ve ever played NYT Connections and thought the words Lust, Envy, Greed, and Gluttony were supposed to be the villains from Fullmetal Alchemist, then this game might be for you. Test your knowledge of anime, manga, and video games by solving the connections between seemingly random clues. May the best team win!

2:00 – 3:00 p.m. — Band 804 Performance

This band comes back to Con Ja Nai for its second time playing J-pop, J-rock, and anime music!

4:00 – 5:00 p.m. — Yuru Band Performance

The band formerly known as Ontaku is back to perform even more music! With a few returning favorites and a lot of new songs, we hope you’ll come check out one of our longest sets yet.

6:30 – 7:00 p.m. — Keynote Speaker (Finding Weebdom and your community afer college)

Graduation is right around the corner… (or maybe already in the rear view mirror) with many of you reluctantly entering the “real world”, the realm of the normies (!!!). How do you survive!?

From lurking online on reddit/discord… to venturing out of the hikki sanctuary in search of “anime groups” in his area, to finally making his own anime group(s)….

Hear from Animania Alumn Bennett Lai (Class of 2015, former Animania Treasurer –> VP –> President) on his journey on surviving as a weeb post-college.

7:00 – 8:00 p.m. — Closing Ceremony & Giveaway

In typical Con Ja Nai fashion, we have a number of prizes to give away to cap off the convention. Stay tuned for sneak previews of some of the different figures/manga/other anime merch that you could win!!
