On this final episode of the CaliConBlogCast for 2021, we look back at our 2021 predictions and talk about the year in the review - from pandemics to a convention to PC parts - as well as giving our 2022 predictions for conventions and cosplay. Will the era of the mega convention vanish post-COVID? Will Genshin Impact and Demon Slayer continue to rule the 2022 cosplay scene? And now that we have a year of the podcast under our belts and our first convention report in over two years, what's on the horizon for all of us - from conventions to cosplay to life in general?

EDITOR NOTE: This episode was recorded on 12/19, a day before TaiyouCon put out a formal statement regarding the allegations and their separation from Gackto from all aspects of the convention. 

Special intro in honor of the late Sayaka Kanda, who passed away 12/18 at the age of 35.
