New York Comic Con Guests, Premieres, Etc.
A press release announcing NYCC’s anime-related guests and events is being circulated. First up is T.M.REVOLUTION, aka Takanori Nishikawa, who you may know for performing on the soundtracks of Rurouni Kenshin, Gundam SEED, and Gundam SEED Destiny.
Need more? How about some premieres? Code Geass, Lucky Star, Victorian Romance Emma, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and Amuri in Star Ocean will all premiere at NYCC.

From the previews I’ve seen I’m not interested in the Lucky Star dub, really…but I have to admit, I’m kind of curious about Code Geass’ dub. It KILLS me to say it too, because Lulu’s voice is Johnny Yong Bosch, but he sounds good in that one line he does in the preview as evil!Lulu. So I guess I’ll check it out, schedule willing.
Paul: I am DYING to see The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. I hope they show it subbed (or maybe have a showing of each) and that it’s at a time I can go.
