I’ve received a lot of positive feedback from fans that attended my panels at Anime Expo 2009. Thanks again to everyone that attended!
If you didn’t get to attend, there may be more content available online in the near future. I was approached by Anime News Network, Patrick Macias, and a few other blogs/shows about interviews, so we’ll see where those go.
Also, the Anime Instrumentality Blog has published three articles covering the Without Watching the Anime: Opening & Ending Themes panel. While the trilogy doesn’t cover every detail of the panel, and forgets one or two of the smaller points I wanted to stress (or just show an opening for humor), it’s definitely a thorough reproduction of the panel for those that couldn’t make it out to Los Angeles. The articles are: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
Once again, thank you everyone for attending the four panels on which I spoke at Anime Expo 2009. If you’ll be at Otakon next weekend, check out my panels there!
Thanks, Alex! It’s an inevitable fact that I’d miss a couple of the finer points you made since my notes weren’t quite as thorough as I’d like (I blame me for being distracted by the videos). Either way, I enjoyed that panel immensely and hope to see/hear more presentations from you in the future.
I honestly wouldn’t expect someone to nail every single thing, but — hey — if you write up that article, it’s less work for me to do. =P
Thanks again for coming!
Thanks for the links. I missed your panels, but at least now I can see some of what you covered. More anime/manga criticism is a good thing, and I think you do a fine job of it.
