Nintendo Doesn't Care About Competitive Smash

On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, we discuss the new rules regarding Nintendo's games in the realm of esports and how it feels like they're trying to clamp down on the competitive Smash community...AGAIN. Plus we look at a death within the Japanese anime industry, complain about the showings for Suzume, look at the return of Anime Strike (kind of), discuss a collaboration between Persona and a restaurant, and end the podcast by talking about Kumoricon and SacAnime Winter 2024.
