I suppose I'll add this for anyone in the N. California area. So, anyone going?

Here's something mildly interesting. Mari Iijima and Rebecca Forstadt (aka Reba West) are both guests of honor at Fanime this year. Why is this interesting? Mari Ijima voiced Minmei in Macross. Reba West voiced Minmei in Robotech. Oh my, it's Minmei madness! Smile

I wonder what Iijima thinks of Robotech... Unlike other members of the cast & crew, who have voiced disaproval of it, Iijima seems to be the type to just not care.

I take it the pressense of the two Minmei voices is a conincidense?

I saw Iijima-san a couple years ago and I remember her saying something to the affect that she thought that the English Minmei sounded a little like her, and at least that was something she approved of.

I went today. I really enjoyed the panels I saw. The Asian films look really interesting, but I think I'll only have time to stick to the anime events I want to see.

Is there a diffierence between the two conventions? Cause there will be a comic con in san diego on July. This will be my first time to attend a convention.

Fanime is an Anime convention held in Santa Clara. ComicCon is a general comic book convention held in San Diego.

Oh, I put up a few pics from the con if anyone's interested:
