I totally bought Kannagi even though I didn’t watch it. $35 for 7 episodes :o
I also didn’t take notes, so I’d better write this down before I forget any of it…

Facts about Yamakan:

He is cool
He composed the Haruhi dance in his apartment while standing on his bed
He recommends Summer Wars by possibly-acclaimed director Mamoru Hosoda
He doesn’t actually hate slightly-more-acclaimed director Akiyuki Shinbo
He probably shouldn’t have made three dancing anime in a row
“If I said I didn’t like any other directors, people would yell at me on the Internet again”

Highlights of his panels included an Asian guy, possibly from a mysterious land known as “#denpa”, dancing the Kannagi OP.

Facts about Kikuko Inoue:

She was a fish in a previous life.
She “knows this”.
She spent half of her panel asking Hidenori Matsubara to let her be in the next Eva movie. (He offered to let her be Pen-Pen)
People in the audience thought Maikaze and games were recorded differently from anime, but they weren’t.
She can remember how to sing the Ah My Goddess opening, but not Cruel Angel’s Thesis. But she did her best!
Only girls can join her 17-year-old club, because it’s more bittersweet.

Tomorrow I’m going to do something other than sitting in guest Q&A panels, I hope. Like sitting in Surat’s panels.
