SDCC: Bandai Entertainment
More phone liveblogging, so sorry it’s not my usual massively detailed type of writeup– hopefully I’ll have better luck tomorrow.
Anyway! Rob Napton presiding as usual, along with Ken Iyadomi and…someone whose name I didn’t catch. And then there’s the usual presentation…now, Bandai’s “LordRichard” said they’d have a new announcement, but Napton makes it sound like they might not. We shall see!
Decidedly more male-dominated applause for Gundam 00 than for Gurren Lagann, interestingly.
Also the promised new announcement may be on Bandai’s website instead of the panel. Curses, that’ll be tougher for me.
That guy who I didn’t catch the name of earlier is Lloyd…still no last name though. Noveber 4th for the Girl Who Leapt Through Time dvd, can’t remember if that date is new.
I have been corrected! It’s Loy Fruel. Thanks, Richard!
Sword of the Stranger dvd/blu-ray, probably at the end of 1q 09. Special ed of both dvd and blu-ray will come out too.
Loks like Badai is announcing a new manga here, but it’s already up on the site– Lucky Star! Finally! Thank god! Yaaaaaay!
Now heading to Random House/Del Rey, which will include manga stuff.
