With the anime studios attending TAF prohibited from displaying series owned by the publishers pulling out and with that recent news about FES Anime Song event also held next to it, ACE is looking to capture more of the core audience.

Looking at the list of who is attending what, TAF has a clear family and kids focused and ACE is looking like everyone else focused. There's still enough time for the companies to print more limited edition merchandise to cover the costs for ACE since that's the target audience for that stuff right?

lol, ACE-special figures and artbooks? Maybe a DVD of the FES event afterwards?


THAT is a clever way to handle the situation. Tell the animation studio it can't use your work at the event you are boycotting.

Heaven knows, I'm canceling a few orders because the companies stayed at TAF.

Seems like the boycott is having an impact then even though it's only 20%, good. Not that I'm particularly upset about the bill passing but it's good to see a successful protest against it succeed because I didn't particularly think the law was all that fair or necessary.

There may be just 20 companies boycotting, but they hold many many shows in their libraries in comparison.

ACE isn't in Tokyo. Money earned by Makuhari Messe (the convention center) will be taxed by Chiba, not Tokyo.

Finally... profit ? Honestly, I highly doubt ACE will turn a profit.


And it's out of the way Chiba, not the more accessible Tokyo.

I fear this'll turn out like the SPJA/Anime Expo split into Pacific Media Expo, remember that? And like PME, ACE may not be a big deal.
