I’ve been so remiss that I forgot to do this for Anime Weekend Atlanta! But here’s the list of people I’ll be seeing and watching for New York Anime Fest this weekend:

INTERVIEWS:
- Rie Tanaka
- Hideyuki Kikuchi/Yoshitaka Amano/Kevin Leahy

Please! Give me questions for these! I want to know what YOU want to know. Here’s my interview with Kikuchi-sensei and mangaka Saiko Takaki, who is creating the manga adaptation of Vampire Hunter D– feel free to ask me to follow up on those or at least not retread them, yes? ;)

Companies:
- FUNimation (who will be announcing the Darker than Black cast)
- Bandai Entertainment (whose panel I will miss because I’ll be in the Anime Journalism Panel, but don’t worry, I’ll get that news ASAP afterwards)
- Vertical
- Media Blasters/Kitty Media
- Del Rey Manga
- Yen Press

Okay, so, let’s hear it guys: what questions do you have?

Did I ever mention to y’all that I’m going to the New York Anime Fest after all?

Well, uh, I am. I’m leaving at stupid o’clock tomorrow morning, so I won’t be at the ICv2 conference, unfortunately. But I WILL be covering as many panels as I can (and attempting to secure people to attend the ones I can’t), as well as apparently taking part in theOtaku’s main panel on Friday at 6pm. So come and heckle me. Just remember that most theO readers are underage, so keep the heckling PG-13ish.

And yes, I’m covering the panels for theO, since they are, y’know, footing the bill and all. So head there for my complete coverage; I’ll put together a round-up when the con’s over, hopefully.
