Alright where to begin... First off, I already knew we had a kickass .hack fanbase from running dothackers over the last 6 years... but seeing TONS of fans in real life make it kickass x100 (or insert over 9000 joke here)! Anime Central is one amazing weekend and if you get a chance to visit the convention you would be insane to pass it up - this was my second year attending the con.   Chris (Kuukai) and I spent about a month or so planning and tweaking the .hack panel, which was formally named "Welcome to "The World" - All About .hack" at ACen. A lot of powerpoint jadedness set in during the creation and moments where this popped up: "holy crap how can we fit the ENTIRE .hack universe into an hour long panel?!!!" were frequent. The answer to that question is that you can't! I speak for both Chris and myself by saying that it was well worth the effort! We want to thank everyone who made it out to the panel and the 10 or so people who were from dothackers and following us on Twitter!   Also, a big shout out to the three .hack cosplayers at our panel, who were ironically from three different .hack media - Tsukasa, Kite and Haseo! Pictures of all the .hack cosplayers are below (or above...), in addition to pictures of our panel. Next year we may do a longer panel, but we will see what the future holds. It seems almost 100% certain that we will be back at ACen 2010, because it was so much fun! Click here for a more in depth overview of dothackers @ Anime Central !      More cosplay images at ACen are on my personal Flickr account. Enjoy! |

Hi all! The scheduling for panels has finally been released! Our panel will be on Friday, May 8th from 2:00pm - 3:00pm in the Narita Room (PAN 5). The room is on the Hyatt's basement floor. We have a ridiculous amount of room (up to 150 people), so don't be shy about showing up! |

The .hack world has been without much action recently, but dothackers will be trying to create something to be excited about! Dothackers (Kuukai (aka Chris) and myself) will be hosting a .hack fan panel at Anime Central 2009, which is the largest mid west anime convention in the United States. Anime Central is located about 25 miles outside of Chicago in Rosemont, Illinios. If you live near the area come by and support .hack! Details about the panel (and location within the convention) are still being dealt with, and will be updated as the date gets closer. Here's the information so far: When: May 8th-10th, 2009 (exact date for .hack panel TBA; will be posted ASAP) Time: TBA Where: Rosemont, Illinois (Just outside of Chicago) What: An overview of some of .hack's media; a ton of .hack giveaways; Q/A discussion; .hack//Link and the future of .hack; and crowd interaction! Come dressed in .hack cosplay or mention dothackers and you will be guaranteed a free .hack goodie! Hotels: Tons of hotels near the area if you're willing to travel. Why? Why not?! Come chill with .hack fans - this will be the only chance to interact with tons of fans offline in one spot, and maybe finally put a face on your buddies (aside from their avatar!) from the message board! Discuss: Discuss Anime Central and dothackers' panel on the message board; organize a dothackers message board member meetup, dothackers events, ideas, etc. |
