Hey, you left out two of the most important parts. Halko coming up on the table to show off her "zettai ryouiki" (was awesome). And the ending after the panel was over:

Once time was up, everyone came up to the stage to give her gifts (Mandichan managed to give her two custom Momoi T-shirts, that she WORE the next day). When Priz, the original American Momoi fan (though his website is now down), came up to her, Momoi even reached out and shook his hand and announced to everyone "This person has been my fan for over ten years." As the gifts continued flowing in, she began to cry and thanked everyone profusely. An autograph notebook was left outside the panel so everyone could leave messages for her (while waiting in line for the autograph book, I was very happy to meet the legendary American seiyuu otaku catsspat who was standing right behind us - further validating Momoism especially if he of all people would choose to skip the SOS signing for Momoi).

I'd like to cosplay as the character Luna.


Uh, I'm almost positive I heard her say San. Which would make sense. Since that is her character.

Seto no Hanayome radio show. The anime she is currently working on.

Man, sorry about that. I had to leave for a moment to pass on the news about her cancelling events.

Darn it, I thought I got them all. Looking up all of her references was an adventure to say the least.

So, is she for real? Or is this all an elaborate act? I mean, a Power Glove? Seriously?

Oh, that's fine. I know you guys were really busy at AX. I just wanted to mention it somewhere though...

Few things I forgot I wanted to comment on...

Quote:
I'd have to the character designer of Soul Taker


Akio Watanabe (who she did specifically mention at the panel). My favorite artist as well...

Quote:
I have so many other favorites. I like Magari, He's the original artists of Tsukune-chan... His art is so cute that I have him doing my CD jackets.


I also love Hiroaki Magari's artwork. He's the one who has done the lovely artwork on the avatar I have had for the last two months (which is from one of those CD jackets btw).

Quote:
Of those I bought on Laser Disc, probably Lupin III. And I'm big fan of magical girl shows, so Nurse Witch Komugi.


She mentioned Time Bokan as well. And Magical Angel Creamy Mami as the anime that got her into magical girls.

She has been using that Power Glove for over a decade. It is one of her signature props (although, the Power Glove kind of disappeared after she teamed up with UNDER17, but it's back again now).

As far as her being for real... Of course there are a lot of people who think it is an act. Most of those people don't know her that well though. I've been a fan of hers for about 4 years (mind you, not as long as many others). I've watched all of her concerts on DVD, listened to all of her music, and watched every anime she has worked on. I don't believe it is an act. I believe she dearly loves her fans, because she was also one at one point (well, she still is). She is also just a very emotional person.
