Anirevo 2022: Anime Speedtune (now in 4K!)
16The 2022 season started with new hopes and dreams. Speedtune made its west coast debut in Vancouver, and this was the first major event in 3 years! I knew a good number of the Anirevo staff from IFFT19, and they were very friendly and welcoming at their home convention!
As for the event itself, the qualifier went beyond expectations and hit its full 150 entrant capacity. Unfortunately, there were many no-shows, and 4 standby replacements weren't enough. It has since been increased to 12. There were also a number of tech issues. For 2022, we have upgraded our equipment to prepare ourselves for 4K video, and there were a few growing pains during the adjustment. The player monitor didn't work, and you might also see the timer lag a bit, though only cosmetically. We've since figured out what went wrong, so these issues won't happen again.
With such a strong response, I hope that I'll be able to attend Anirevo again some day. However, plane ticket prices have drastically increased since the beginning of this year. A plane ticket for AR23 costs almost double what I paid for my AR22 ticket...
