We’ve just added details on how you can sponsor Anime Syracuse, and get some advertising in return.

Check out our sponsorship page for all the details!

We’ve added directions on how to get to the Oncenter from pretty much any direction. Check out our location page for more details.

The OnCenter Convention Center Complex in Syracuse, NY will be home to the Anime Syracuse 2010 Festival on September 11th.  Details will be forthcoming on our website very soon.  Anime Syracuse’s 2010 Festival will feature anime screenings, cosplay contests, video and CCG card gaming, and lots of vendors.  See you there!

Tomorrow night is our April “Anime at the Palace” and Strike Witches is one of the two titles we’ll be screening.  If you’ve been following the English release of this show, you’re aware that FUNimation came up with a particularly unique marketing campaign. We’ll be filming a spot for their blog, so there will be extra excitement in store for the evening.  For all the details see our At The Palace page.

New this time around:

“Mob Rules” -  there are still more popular titles not listed on the schedule and you get to decide!  Attendees vote on which show we watch!

17&Up After Dark – daytime screenings are targeted for all ages (read cartoon violence and minimal to no skirt flipping), while evening selections are for a more mature sense of humor (will likely contain salty language, sexual suggestions, and other adult themes).   No, we won’t card anyone, but attendees should be aware of the change in tone.

By popular request, we’re please to add gaming to our Winter 2010 mini-con!  Video game tournaments will take place throughout the day; among the featured games will be ‘Super Smash Bros Brawl’ and ‘Street Fighter IV’.  Later in the afternoon, more space will be made available for RPG card and board games.  We hope to see you there!

Anime Syracuse is now available in wearable, carryable and sipable form (even if those aren’t really words).  Per many requests from our members, we now have some T-shirts, hats and other items available for you to purchase.  You can visit our store at www.cafepress.com/AnimeSyracuse.  We’ll be adding more items and new designs so keep checking back!
