There will be a Space Dandy panel and signing sessions. Anime Limited aims to have Space Dandy Season 1 available at the event. (The site adds, 'Pre-ordered it on Amazon?

Space Dandy is directed by Shinichiro Watanabe (Macross Plus, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Kids on the Slope). The title character is Dandy, an alien-hunter. His job is to seek out new aliens never seen before, and receives a reward whenever he finds a new species. His mission is to find those new species faster than anyone else as he travels the galaxy. Together with the bucket-of-bolts robot QT and the dimwit alien Meow he picked up along the way, he comes into contact with new planets and their inhabitants.
