Yesterday and today (03/21-03/22) are for business visitors/representatives only, so the low turnout is due to that. The event opens to the public for the weekend.

Ah, thanks, didn't realize that.

Yeah, it would be impossible to do any coverage during the public days. It's so mobbed, it's worse than SDCC. You can't even move, let alone get a clear shot of anything. The second year I went, it took me a half hour just to cross the floor of the hall. and it's NOT a big hall - probably less than half of AX's dealer room.

Good god, TMS... I heard you were working on this, but finally seeing that image and looking up some videos...

Not one of your better works. I know most of the animation production is handled in India, but still... Flash animation...? And rather incredibly cheap flash animation at that...

Maybe it's decent, but that is immediately a turn off for me.

Anyways, there... doesn't really seem to be much in terms of new information about anything this event. I was actually expecting some new information, especially on the new Sailor Moon.

I don't know, do they usually show new things during the open days? I really can't remember.

Among the new stuff, Valvrave the Liberator and Carnival are highlighted with big plush dolls and oversized action figure, trailers and a gashapon machine.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is supposed to be Karneval?

Looks pretty dead and low key.


These pictures were all taken on the business days. No fans allowed Thursday and Friday. Public days are Saturday and Sunday.

That said, compared to previous years, Saturday was very quiet (although much busier that what you see in the pictures).

You could cross the floor in under two minutes today. Sad

Re: Anne of Green Gables. I wonder who has the rights to the English dub that aired on JET TV (Japanese Entertainment Television) back in the late nineties. Sounded like they used Canadian voice actors. Would be interesting if the Japanese DVDs had it, in addition to English subtitles.

And here I thought Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions was a title Sentai came up with. Could it be that the Japanese licensors were behind it?

Regarding The 2 Queens (referenced in part III)...any indication at all of when the trailer might be generally released? If Simona Stanzani sees this, any further impressions or details from the trailer? I'm very intrigued by this project & have been looking all over for any info I can get on this since the first details came out, but it's been a tough search so far.

A couple or so weeks ago they were selling Sakura Mikuman but I think they're out now.

sorry I saw this post some months late (^^)``[better late than never..]
the trailer is awesome, the film looks really really good.
the best thing to do is to keep an eye on the official page
