Sure, we could just do a dozen articles a day about cool stuff and panty shots, but we're going to try making the process a bit more "active" and a touch more inclusive. Basically, what's more fun than making people jump through hoops?
Meet the Request thread. Bookmark it, hug it, haunt it, because believe me... I will. The premise is simple... Request things. Photos, swags, questions answered. Ask and you shall receive, every question will be answered, even if the answer isn't what you want (such as "we are so not going to ask [XYZ person] that"). This will be the only thread of this kind, and will run for the entire convention, so keep that in mind.
"Get me a picture of Kamina riding a Yoshi?"
"Can you get Samuel Jackson's autograph?"
"I want a picture of Man-Ranka?"
"What does Kevin Smith smell like?"
"Is Bandai still putting out Shigofumi?" (Gia missed getting this at Otakon, but it's on her mind, she swears.)
"I've got this rash that's been lasting for months, should I see a doctor?"
Done. Fear our warcry, kekekeke...
Next, does Tokyopop plan on licensing Natsuki Takaya's (Fruits Basket mangaka) Hoshi no Uta? Lol, I so wouldn't be surprised if they announce that license at Comic Con anyway.
Okay, finally, this one might be stretching it. So it's particularly directed at CMX, but I wouldn't be surprised if Yen Press snatches this one up because they're awesome. Is anyone going to license Kaoru Mori's (Emma and Shirley mangaka) Otoyomegatari? I'm not sure if volume 1 of this series has been released in Japan yet. But I really, really hope publishers are keeping an eye out for it as a potential license.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, GIA! I will be checking this thread lovingly the next 4 days. :)
P.S. - I thought of more. XD
1. Will Viz license Kazune Kawahara's (High School Debut mangaka) Aozora Yell?
2. WIll Viz license ANYTHING of Ai Yazawa? (Particularly Kagen no Tsuki.)
3. Will CMX license Tohru Fujieda's (Oyayubihime Infinity mangaka) Dragon Girl?
Like I said...I've been waiting so long to asks these questions. Thanks! :)
IS ANYBODY GETTING BAKUMANNNN?? D: D: D:
Also, DEL REY IS AT SAN DIEGO!
I would like to request several pictures of Ali's Ties.
For the love of god, Tell Peter T. I miss him.
Ask Miyazaki ANYTHING
kthx
@Kuro: Can do. I get extra points for touching him, right?
@Schwindelmagier: Del Rey was the one we didn't get a chance to run by in the bevy of preview day. We will most certainly bring it up with them.
@JohnnySake: Great idea! What's good for you, relatively I dunno what readers are where, when, and how.
@SteepInKline: They had a DS game set up, or were you talking about something else. Either way, ok!
AH HERE is a question at the viz media panel(if they have one that is) can you guys please found out what the status of the naruto shippuden dub?I know its being made but will it be aired on TV at all?or will it be straight to dvd only?
and also im guessing you guys are going to do this but lots of pics and videos would be nice! but if you guys want to know something specific...um how about rare anime stuff like Evangelion or something new like Code geass?
Anyhow thanks for anything you guys can to! have FUN WISH I WAS THERE!
I'm sure someone will ask about Shippuden on TV, someone always does. If there's new news, you'll definitely hear it from us-- if not, though, I believe the last answer was something to the effect of "we're trying!" :)
