Wow, crazy lineup this year; first 00, and now Gurren Lagann. I wish I could go.
Also, I wonder if the new Gainax project will have been announced by then, or if it will be unveiled at AX? A lot of relevant people are going to be there, after all. |

| Until they decide to cancel his appearance due to Japanese overreaction at a slightly stronger strain of flu. Who's willing to make bets? |

10:1 odds against that happening! The Japanese will pull out of some BS Con in South Carolina, but they won't pull out of AX! |

These are like the only two members of the production staff I haven't met.
Yet another reason to go. |

I wish I was a press member. I want to pick their brains on creative process of Gurren Lagann. I really want to ask any fascinating story behind Gurren Lagann production.
I found out that Nishigori did direction, storyboard, and animation supervision for that magical girl parody, "Ririkyua Miracle", from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 2nd series. (source: Animation Note:Vol. 12 Winter 2009). If I was there, I would like to know what went through on his mind when he directed that parody.
I know that Imaishi is really crazy animation talent, I wonder what is he like in person. |

| I wonder if they'll be screening Lagann-hen... They always screen their new projects when they're invited to Germany's Connichi. |

BUT WAIT...GURREN-hen hasn't been screened over here OFFICIALLY yet...maybe they'll do a whole 4-1/2 hour presentation of BOTH movies??? It could only happen at AX! |

Depends on your definition of "officially". It was screened this past weekend at Fanime with Yamaga-san (President of GAINAX) in attendance. |

It'd be cool, but Gurren-hen probably won't be worth be the time as much as Lagann-hen. It was pretty much Clip Slow: The Movie except for the last 15-20 minutes, and I hear Lagann-hen will actually have much more new animation.
The real point to these recap movies is so you see them in theaters (large screens, full surround-sound) with other people, or I guess at cons too assuming they have good enough equipment. That way, while it's pretty much what you've seen before, you see it in a new fashion. If you watch it on the same exact set-up that you watched the show, it'll probably be disappointing. |
