Another weekend of Anime Expo has come and gone, and with it came a LOT of things from all corners, a true cornucopia of styles for just about everyone: take your pick, be it green yuri with Nirvana or nice boats with School Days… yes, really, as well as plenty of manga to come later this year and next year, TRIGGER leading us on with the fourth Imaishi/Nakashima project coming soon, AnimEigo giving everyone an appetizer plate before Discotek takes over Otakon, a first look at the new Star Wars Visions project, and some info on Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 as was always planned (ahem ahem) and the reveal of more STEEL BALL RUN coming in the fall so everyone can stop breathing down Netflix’s necks. (They haven’t, they’re still asking for more.)
And if ALL OF THAT isn’t enough, the first hour of this show has plenty of pre and post AX news items worth talking about, like some classic (and modern classic) movies coming back to theaters, new projects from Madhouse, Sunrise and SHAFT, and Kasagi Lobo coming very soon, a new middleman company in AniBiz launching, BANANA FISH leaving Amazon for Netflix and with a new (made by humans) English dub, the return of an old “online” title and also the unexpected return of an old “galactic” friend via Kickstarter (link down in the description) to make this a very long show that will hold all of you over until Otakon next month. (After this one, we all kinda need a break.)
