Retro Matsuri

We're at Animaine this weekend in South Portland, ME! You can pre-register here (before you can pre-register online!) or buy retro/vintage merch from us. Whoa. Crazy. Wow. Gosh.

we will open panel slots eventually but if you are still interested in staffing... o__o

Have you ever wanted to do work in exchange for no money?

big fans of your mum's house (appropriately)

Yesssssssss. :o

Staffing will open soon, panels will open some time after that. We are still awakening from our post-con slumber.

also we're not going to be tabling at @anotheranimecon.bsky.social this year because our tech director is DJing their dance. so, you know, go to their dance.

It's not the usual use of Ren'Py, but I think this old TV guide is made to display the schedule at @retromatsuri.bsky.social came out pretty neat!

Traditional Art done over the weekend during @retromatsuri.bsky.social . First was just a personal drawing I worked on at my table during downtime. Second is a commission for @janejana.bsky.social

you have died of dysentery

pretty sure someone is cosplaying VLC Media Player today

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

"Retro Matsuri, why is the quality of this image so poor?"
Well, you see, it's retro.

Also it's a screenshot of an Instagram post. We're so tired.

We have cleverly hidden the schedule at retromatsuri.com/schedule.php and you should look at it.

Im hosting a panel about Night of the Galatic Railroad and its inspiration in anime throughout decades. If you're coming to Retro Matsuri, please come on by~

Schedule Available, if you are amenable

Also, for the record, if you’re under 12 you might still have a pretty good time, but ask your parents to bring you to the convention.

We're still bad at social media, but we made a cool video

Can you really say you’re watching anime if it’s not on a fourth generation VHS copy?

Yes! Soon. Definitely soon

RETRO MATSRI is thrilled to welcome Carrie Savage to this year's convention. Carrie has been in a ton of great older shows (and quite a few newer ones, too) and we're honored to have her this year.
