At this point, Giapet is the only one (from my feeds list, anyway) who covered the most relevant panels from this weekend's Anime Central (ACEN) convention. Starting off with a
very brief sum-up in the break before VIZ's eventually-inexistent panel
(ed. - see the update below), she later wrote a very lengthy report on
Bandai's panel - even though they didn't actually make any big announcements. Still, you might find something of interest in there - about Gurren Lagann, Gundam 00, Code Geass, Lucky Star, AIKa R-16 and the likes. By the way, we're also streaming Bandai's
trailer for their newly-released
AIKa R-16 OVA prequel, which they screened at ACEN (the trailer, not the OVA), in case you missed our
earlier post.
Next up,
FUNimation's panel. Aside from the announcement of their license acquisition for
Romeo x Juliet, and the subsequent unraveling of another FUNi license, for
D.Gray-Man - both
covered here earlier, as well - there weren't any other worthy novelties. Just some stuff about digital distribution, Vexille (which was on sale at their booth, before its official release on May 20), Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, and some new Blu-ray releases. Plus, of course, a recap of all the other licenses they announced throughout the week:
Save Me! Lollipop,
KenIchi,
Gunslinger Girl 2,
Strain, and
Shigurui.
Aaand... that was pretty much it. Unless you're into
yaoi stuff (more
here). Otherwise,
no ADV panel, no VIZ panel, no nothing. Ah, well,
FanimeCon 2008 is up next weekend.
Update: We have just received a mail from VIZ Media with the same disclaimer as the one from the
comments below, making it pretty clear that they had no panel scheduled in the first place, and it was just an error in ACEN's programming schedule, regretfully so.
