I got an e-mail from a friend staffing Fanime Con who tells me that I can offically post this confirmed information (and he forwarded me Fanime’s staff notes, so it’s pretty official): Fanime Con will be hosting a vast number of guests from Gainax this year! No specific names have been mentioned, but at least 15 seiyuu and designers and other staffers will be on hand– mostly revolving around Gurren Lagann, naturally. I’d put good money on one of the guests being regular Fanime guest Hiroyuki Yamaga, a Gainax co-founder and director of Wings of Honneamise and Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi.

I’m about to melt into a puddle of excitement. ♥ (The image in this article is the top image from Gainax’s website, btw.)

The Brik’s Haus blog spotted this video on YouTube, of live-action actors rushing to get a look at a giant CG EVA-01. Teaser for a live-action Evangelion flick? Or maybe it’s for a new video game? Or maybe it’s just plain cockteasery by Gainax or some particularly talented Netizen. Who knows? It’s nicely done though.
