Where to Find Me at Anime Expo


So, Anime Expo has posted its 2009 schedule, and being the kind of go-getter that I am, I've already mapped out the basics of the panels I need to hit up. Actually, providing that nothing moves around, Expo is startlingly manageable this year-- there are relatively few massive overlaps on things to do.

The first one is that the Yaoi Press industry panel is at the same time as a keynote speech on anime, manga, and digital distribution. The keynote is unlikely to feature any news, but should be interesting. Yaoi Press, on the other hand, will doubtless contain news, but it'll only appeal to a portion of you users.

The second one is that CMX and Aniplex are at the same time as the keynote on manga from the USA becoming commercially successful, which I think I'll skip-- Aniplex has been doing some interesting stuff lately.

So let me know in the comments which you want me to cover so I'm sure to be there!

Meanwhile, here are the basic panels I'm planning on getting to:

THURSDAY

FRIDAY

SATURDAY
  • 11am Yaoi Press
  • 11am Keynote: Digital Distribution of Anime and Manga
  • 12:30pm FUNimation
  • 2pm Robotech

SUNDAY

...So I'll be pretty busy. I'll have some helpers from amongst the Vice Squad though, like users Kuro, AceofClub5, and DJTyrant. Maybe we could have some kind of unofficial Vice gathering on Saturday, too. Any takers?

I'm going on the 4th to the power rangers panel! I'm such a geek.

of course, the only option is to clone yourself.

@rocketbomber: I don't suppose you have a device handy?
rocketbomberon June 14, 2009 at 6:52 p.m.
'Device'?  No.  I'm afraid that if you'd like to avail yourself of my cloning technology you have to show up, in person, and submit to [*redacted*; not that Matt has access to actual cloning technology but he's happy to pretend so long as *redacted* *redacted* and with lime jello *redacted* *redacted* *redacted* and Ukranian gymnasts *redacted*]

Could you ask them at the Aniplex panel when KnK7 is going to come out and if anyone has looked at licensing it here in the US yet? Pleeeeeease? *puts on begging face with beady eyes*

I'm down for a Vice gathering! Would be nice to meet people :)
Kuroon June 14, 2009 at 11:35 p.m.
I will be at some of this.

I'm so sad because  I can't go anymore due to my summer prerequisite course. :(

BUT! Do an impromptu Vice gathering so I can view the videos and be there spiritually.

I would be interested in a gathering
