Wow, not a lot of people this year.

I came in late, answered the Answercat Jr. question, and then promptly had to leave. Sorry, guys, but thanks for the Gundam SEED shirt!

For those of us who weren't there (like myself)...

What all was asked/happened?

Well, I just got back from a long drive a very short while ago. It was definetly nice to see a couple of faces from the list. I also want to apologize for having to leave in the middle of the panel...

Asked for my opinion about the site... I get a t-shirt, give each of the staff my own little business card (you can blame Bamboo on this one, she's the one who planted the idea in my head) and then take off

having about $10K worth of shitajiki in another room was certainly a good cause though (I think so anyway. I was working on trades almost an hour before the ANN panel was scheduled to start...)

Though I must say that my friend Mike getting the X TV soundtrack because nobody else was vying for it was something we both laughed about after we left.

Even so, it was nice to meet some people in person.

I can lie and say that….

It was the best panel I have ever been to. The trivia questions were dead on, and the overall amount of people that had attended was immense. And the Q&A segment was very intriguing.

Regardless, of how that sounded; it was nice to see the people behind their respective screen name. Perhaps, with the announcement of the ANN T-shirt, we can get a better idea on just how many people actually support this site.

Good luck on your next panel.

How hard is it to get an honest reply out of you folks?

It was pretty casual really. Nothing happened, except for Tempest talking about his plans, and why they aren't happening until he gets enough cash for them.

The schedule I got from Geneon only had it listed as "Industry/Fan Panel." I didn't know it was ANN or I would stay until 10 pm. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad I promise I'll be there next year.

The schedule really screwed us over. The printed schedules were outdated ones that didn't have the ANN panel listed (it was listed as a Sera Myu panel), and with the exception of the AnimeExpo website, there was no inkling that we were to be there.

Still, it was nice to match up some names with faces. Thanks to everyone who showed up! Hopefully next year will be bigger and better.

Doh! I completely forgot about that. The irony of it was that Room 304 hosted the Macross panel after it, and I attended that panel.

Yeah... next time Anime smallmouth;

Honestly I wasn't extremely happy about this panel. I felt, and I'm sure some people in the audience felt, that it dragged on a bit long.

And of course, as Bamboo mentionned, we kinda got messed with not being in the schedule, I was expecting to double last year's head count (50 or 60 people) and instead we halved it.

Next time we'll probably give most the stuff away with a rafle to make that part of the panel quicker.

The panel was a bit anemic in terms of things to talk about, but I was happy enough just hanging out with the ANN crowd. I was especially happy to get some free stuff! I sat next to GATSU and Zac, and I answered the questions about Ms. Answerman and Cookie.

The schedule was a bit confusing - I had to double-check the corrected versions they posted.

The questions were:

1. Who writes the column Ms. Answerman?
2. Where is Cookie right now?
