Not much has been said on the newsgroups yet about AnimeExpo, which seemed to be a fairly big success. ANN has gathered all the facts for you that we could find, but as more people catch up on sleep and start remembering what they were doing, we may run an update.
AnimeExpo, held every year in Anaheim, California, had an impressive guest list this year, including Hiroshi Hamasaki (animation director, Midnight Eye Gokuu I and II, BioHunter, new Vampire Hunter D), Sachiko Kamumura (Character designer, City Hunter TV, Heroic Legend of Arslan, Mama's a Fourth Grader), Hisashi Abe (Character Designer, Petshop of Horrors, Xebus, animation director on new Vampire Hunter D), Mika Akitaka (Mecha designer, Gundam Zeta, Gundam 0080, Gundam 0083, Nadesico, creator of Galaxy Fraulein Yuna), Toshihiro Kawamoto (character designer, Cowboy Bebop, Gundam 0083, Gundam 08th MS Team), Kazuko Tadano (character designer/animation director, Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon R TV & movie), Hiroyuki Ochi (director/creator/character designer, Sol Bianca II, Armitage III), Yōko Kanno (composer, Escaflowne, Macross Plus, Cowboy Bebop), and Hiromi Matsushita (animation director, Sailor Moon, original Vampire Hunter D, Guyver, SD Gundam, Granzort, Wataru I & II).
