Indeed. I'm very excited about it and have a vague idea what films might be suitable for an expansion. In my opinion, the Animator Expo was one of the best things that happened to anime recently, and I'm happy to see it's not the end yet (especially with the announcement of Yuri!!! on Ice).

Surprised it's taken this long, tbh. More than a couple of the shorts have felt like proof of concept promos looking for someone to throw money at to make into a full film/series.

But would 'Me! Me! Me!' be as compelling is made for public television? 
There were a lot of neat conceptual pieces throughout the expo that could've made for some nice series.

I think that could be a one-and-half-hour movie, but not a full length anime series. That would over stay its welcome.

I wish that rather than adapt any particular shorts they would just make the concept of the expo into a series. Make it like Space Dandy; a free ticket for a different director each time to make whatever they want. Make it an experimental Genius Party series.

That's exactly what the Expo already is though, but without any kind of TV content restrictions. Having an equivalent of the Expo on TV is fine, I guess, but seems redundant. They could just continue it on the website in it's normal format and it wouldn't be any different to those of us outside of Japan, since our only options would be to stream the episodes online anyways.
A number of the shorts gave us just a taste of interesting worlds that are ripe for expansion into full series (Dragon Dentist, for instance), and other directors, for better or worse, used their creative freedom to make what basically amounted to a pitch reel (rather than an actual, coherent short-film) for their pet projects that they would clearly like to see picked up for a proper series or movie.

I think they meant like, having them be full episodes. Like 20 minutes.

90 minutes of "Me! Me! Me!"? How do you make a music video go on for 90 minutes?

I would love something like that. I've always liked anthology TV series, like The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but they kind of fell out of popularity pretty early into TV's history.
I'd imagine this would be something of the anime equivalent of the What a Cartoon! Show, which was one of the few anthology series of the 90's and really let new talent show what they can do.
