Bandai Announces Schedule for AX Filed under: stuff — 1:03 pm

Bandai’s posted their schedule for Anime Expo and it looks pretty exciting. They’ll be announcing the english voice cast of Gurren Lagann and there will also be quite a few panels and signings. You can see more details here.

It’s starting to get pretty exciting with AX less than a week away. Make sure you have your costumes done and ready to wear! The Anime Expo website has some videos on where to eat which I think will be of interest to every one attending. They can be found on the main page.

Hope everyone doesn’t get too stressed out while getting ready! See you soon!

Comic-Con Speculations Filed under: stuff — Tags: movies, sdcc, tv — 8:26 pm

With Comic-Con coming up in about a month, a lot of people are getting anxious about what we’re going to be seeing. It is pretty much garunteed that there will be major panels on Star Trek, GI Joe, The Spirit, Star Wars: Clone Wars 2. It’s also rumored that there will be a screening of Fanboys, a film about Star Wars fans who journey to Skywalker Ranch to steal a copy of Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. A rough cut was shown at Celebration IV last year, so the final version will probably be shown at Comic-Con.

Another speculative schedule has shown up, but this time for TV show panels. There seems to be a few scheduling issues on the list, such as major shows like the Sarah Connor Chronicles and Heroes panels being scheduled at the same time which is sure to disspoint quite a few fans. The rumored list can be seen here at G4.

Please note, these are all speculations and there will be an update when Comic-Con International posts their programming schedule. There will be a link posted here as soon as it’s out.

Some exciting things are happening again on the Anime Expo front! It’s been announced that American Cosplay Paradise will be hosting Lucky Star and Gurren Lagann cosplay events at the Bandai booth. The participating cosplayers will be giving out promotional goods as well as taking pictures. More information can be found here at the Anime News Network.

Anime Expo Announcements Filed under: stuff — 4:06 pm

Just to throw it out there; the Batman event at AX is Gotham Knight, not Dark Knight. It’s going to be like what the Animatrix was for the Matrix. You can find more informaiton here.
Another schedule attendee I’m excited about is Toshihiko Seki. He’s been the voice of: Sanzo from Saiyuki, Mouuse of Ranma 1/2, and Duo of Gundam Wing, among many others. (For a full list click here.) I’ll update again soon about the other guests-of-honor at AX this year.
