We're a couple of weeks behind on the news, but Anime Central's Website is online with a flashy new look!
Though it's still in rough form and the bulk of the content has yet to be put up, it's good to see the convention getting a rolling start with plenty of time ahead. It's also nice to see the artwork taking a turn for the professional.
There have also been announcements on the forums regarding improvements made for the coming year, namely the hotel situation. Those who experienced problems with hotel booking last year will be happy to know that ACen has literally put the hotel on lockdown for the weekend. The room block will not open until Anime Central officially announces it, and the hotel staff has confirmed that they are not able to book any rooms until their agreement finalizes with MAPS. No improper booking, fucked up pricing, or swearing like last year. Stay tuned, staff has announced that more information on the hotel block will be coming soon.
The convention has also announced it's new chair for the coming year, Rosa Halcomb. Her influence thus far on the forums and her front page greeting are showing promise, and a fresh outlook on the convention already brings a breath of relief.
There is plenty of new information being posted daily to their site and forums, so keep an eye out for more news on ACen 09.
