Toon Zone Talkback - Anime Boston Day 1: The Times They Are A Changin'

[mike_the_drummer57]

This is the talkback thread for Anime Boston Day 1: The Times They Are A Changin'.

Aaaaah, convention season. Weatherman reports the details of Anime Boston.

I wonder if someone will actually license Garden of Sinners/Kara no Kyoukai. I've noticed it doing well in Japan...I assume there's a good reason for this, since it can't be JUST Type/Moon fanboys making the Japanese DVD's competitive with big sellers like Code Geass and Gundam.

 

[C.O.P (Cow On Parole)]

Nice report. This was my first year, so I can't compare it to previous years, but from what I've heard, this sounded about right.

 

[scole_67]

Thanks.

Garden of Sinners is getting a US Theatrical run, though I couldn't tell you who is handling that for aniplex.

 

[iLackCreative]

Will you be doing reports of Days 2 and/or 3?

 

[Yahole]

Someone from TZ News was on the (somewhat disappointing due to lack of real industry guests) State of the Industry panel. Forget who, but kind of odd to see someone from the internet IRL.

 

[matt!#25]

Really? I wish I would've gone to that. The Syrabolism of Fullmetal Alchemist panel I went to instead was interesting, but made me and everyone I was with fall asleep.

 

[Just Believe]

Well, that was me.

Wish you guys had said something. That was more of an accident since none of the actual industry folks showed up. Neil took the stage and then asked me to come up to add some spice.

 

[Gwendolyn]

I wish I would've been there, or at least known who was from TZ there. Why didn't any of the actual industry folks show up?

 

[Kery]

*shrugs*

I guess they weren't told about it.

 

[polk-dotz]

That's a shame. So who ended up doing the panel, other than you?

 

[Razamvmt/mya]

Translator and long time anime fan Neil Nadelman.

 

[Than]

That's it? That's too bad.

 

[In love with a soldier]

Dude/te, Neil is a legend in fandom.

 

[pogody]

Haha, I've never heard of him. Maybe I should have. (and it's dude)
