Looking at all this coverage, and then realizing that it was all written by one person in only four days, there’s one thing that’s abundantly clear:
You’re freaking nuts, Gia.
Freaking nuts.
Good work. (^_^) b

Wow. I thought I was busy just reading all that. You did a lot of good work. Now go take a nap.

@Scott: Peanuts? Peanuts are yummy.
Oh, but they’re not really nuts. Hmm…
Thanks. ♥

Yikes! That’s a lot of news. Anime Expo seems like the largest anime convention of the year. A lot of news and announcements come out that convention. I didn’t really realize it was that big.

@scottfrye: It’s actually the biggest anime convention in North America. This year they announced that they had 43,000 paying attendees; with press, staff, and industry they think they may have hit the 50k mark.
I forget who it was, but someone suggested to me that it was the biggest in the world, since the well-known cons in Japan (read: Comiket) are doujinshi, not anime. But the Tokyo Anime Fair had 107k attendees last year, and even the Japan Expo in Paris had 80k last year. I just mentioned that in case whoever I was talking to is reading this =P

Just wondering since I’ve noticed this a lot and wanted to be sure. The comment above, is that some sort of automated feature that happens whenever your post is linked on another site?

You forgot to cover the Anime Genesis/Anime Diet Live panel! It was the best panel at AX!
