Wow. I had absolutely no idea there exists a photograph from the sparsely populated yet cozy Anime Blogging panel. On a slightly related note, I am cracking up that I am in this picture wearing an orange shirt. Good times.

Thanks for the shout-out and the dinner conversation, but to be perfectly truthful, I’m no longer with AnimeNEXT, but was the director of publicity last year and had been a staff member for a total of four years, which is why I knew so much about the con (but cannot be quoted on any of it).

Or, in the immortal words of one David Williams, “I can neither confirm nor deny the veracity of any of my statements that relate to how AnimeNEXT is run.” ^_^

@phatbhuda
Plus as per your request we have added more mecha. I covered Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still at Anime Next. I will be covering another mecha series for Otakon.

Anyway Glad you liked the report.

I’m glad your ’seen it yet’ panel is growing in popularity. It was a lot of fun when I saw it at NYAF.

Great con report too! Felt like I was there with you guys.

[...] picked up the model kit of Gundam 00 SD at AnimeNEXT. No surprise I put it together in around 30 minutes. However, I was very impressed with the amount [...]

@mrgetalife

I go out of my way to attend panels as they are over half the reasons I go to conventions. But as you prove there are many ways to have a great time at a con besides going to panels (especially if you are a cosplayer). Glad you like the reviews. I wish they could all be positive.

@Hikari

I found nothing about that panel to my liking. Everything about it reminded me of the infamous Five -Tone Shading post about 80’s anime being the bestest anime ever. I refuse to link to that post but I will link to this which talks in detail about the Five Tone Shading post – http://ogiuemaniax.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/five-tone-shading-or-a-perspective-which-lacks-perspective/.

Still a prejudice rant with a minor disclaimer at the end is still a prejudice rant. Maybe the panel got better near the end but I refused to stay all the way through when the far superior Bad Anime Bad panel was going on.

I just have one thing to say about your “review” of the As the Otaku Grows panel. I attended the panel as well as even though it did need polish and I agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but at not point during the panel did the panelist ever say that anime from every other time period was garbage. If you had stayed for the entire panel instead of being “close-minded” of the panel you would have learned that he enjoys watching BLEACH, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Naruto, Chobits, and other ones from 2000 and onwards.

Great write-up as always. I hardly had any time to go to any panels and that most of the lacked any detail about them. Like the pirate one I also assumed it was about piracy..
Glad to see you guys give positive and negative reviews.
