The AnimeIowa Forums are currently off-line as we prepare for the grand opening of the NEW AnimeIowa Forums! The re-launch on Japan's White Day (Friday March 14, 2008)is rapidly approaching, and the Forum Team is hard at work making final preparations to launch the NEW AnimeIowa Forums.

When all upgrades and confirmations have been completed, we'll officially open the New Forums! With any luck this will happen early in the day. However, if problems are found, we will delay opening until those problems can be corrected. We want your initial experiences on the New AnimeIowa Forums to be positive, and ensure that your post continuity and profiles are preserved.

During the first few weeks that the New Forums are open, we encourage you to explore your enhanced profile options, more configurable user preferences, and the additional features of the New AnimeIowa Forums. Please let us know if you spot anything quirky or if you have difficulties. The Forum Team is committed to resolving those issues as quickly as possible, so that we can all relax and enjoy our new Forum environment!

We thank you, the AnimeIowa Forum members (and especially our "Boardies"), for your support and patience as we make this transition. We think you'll enjoy the end result!

It's hard to believe, but the AnimeIowa Forums have been on line for FIVE years now! Shocked? Yep!

So as our way of saying thanks, we'd like to follow up this Valentine's Day announcement and present you with a special White Day gift on March 14, 2008. That gift will be the grand opening of the NEW AnimeIowa Forums! For more information please visit the forum.

AnimeIowa 2007 is over, and we thank all of our attendees, volunteers, and staff members for a successful convention. It was our biggest year ever, with our attendance jumping from 1806 in the year 2006 to about 2300 crazed anime fans for this year's convention. But just because the convention is over doesn't mean it's forgotten! Please join us on the AnimeIowa Forums! We've posted our AnimeIowa 2007 Lost and Found list, and we're already busy sharing photos, memories, and plans for next year. And speaking of next year, we hope you'll all join us for AnimeIowa 2008! We'll be returning to the fantastic Coralville Marriott Hotel & Conference Center on August 15th-17th. Thanks again, we hope you'll join us for AnimeIowa 2008, and don't forget to stop in and say hello at the AnimeIowa Forums. We're there all year round!
