NekoCon this weekend
I’m happy to say after a month without attending any conventions we will be out at NekoCon in Hampton VA this weekend. More accurately, I will be out at the convention as an industry guest running some panels, a workshop, and generally going around the convention floor. I hope to catch you guys around the show if you are heading out to it. Here are the events we are running this weekend.
FUNimation Industry Panel: Friday Panel Room 1, 5 – 6pm
Shoot the Hostage! – An Adventure in Marketing Anime Workshop: Saturday Workshop Room 2, 11am – 12pm
FUNimation Sneak Peek Panel: Saturday Panel Room 1, 2 – 3pm
State of the Industry Panel: Sunday Panel Room 2, 11am – 12:30pm
There will also be screening of our different shows at NekoCon. Please check the program book for more details.
If you can not make it out to this convention, but are still feel the need to ‘con it up’ this weekend, here are a few more that are are going on.
Pacific Media Expo: Los Angeles, CA, 11/6 – 11/8
Zenkaikon: Prussia, PA, 11/7 – 11/8

“Shoot the Hostage?”
You think you could be a little less evil with your jokes, Adam? Especially when you’re talking about “marketing?” 
Adam S. on November 4th, 2009 at 2:17 pm says:
@Tyrenol: It’s a reference from the movie ‘Speed’ that seemed very fitting.

Will you ever do another Live con this year? please? I really loved the one you did before.
Tyrenol on November 4th, 2009 at 2:46 pm says:
I thought “Speed” was a good action movie too. But “shooting the hostage” sounds to cruel (unless the movie was “48 Hours”).
I’m still fresh from an on-job incident where I was saving a guy from bleeding to death (after he was chased by three guys who were trying to rob his home) last week. So you have to pardon me. 
Adam S. on November 4th, 2009 at 2:54 pm says:
@Fate: we should do that again some time soon. Not sure when yet.
@Tyrenol: yikes, that’s not a good thing. More than understandable.

@ AdamS:
Not exactly something I like to talk about, you know. When you’re a security officer in a seemingly uneventful area, something like this throws you off your balance.

We’ll be there, probably just following you guys from workshop-to-workshop. It’s less creepy than it sounds.

Will there be more announcements there, Adam.
Adam S. on November 4th, 2009 at 4:33 pm says:
@Corey Lucas: We can’t say what we will be talking about at the panels until it happens. Sorry.

Wish I could go, but travaling right now is out of the question.
spastic_jaki on November 4th, 2009 at 5:22 pm says:

Jordan Newton on November 4th, 2009 at 5:22 pm says:

Hey Adam, i have no idea if there are any convention in Minnesota, if so please tell me. I wish you guys would at least answer us fans if shana 2 is coming to the U.S or not, please answer this simple question.

@mckg1
Have you tried looking up comventions on the web. I beleive I recall seeing Minnesota on a list of conventions I stumbled across. Also I remember Rojas-sempai saying that he couldn’t disclose if funi would pick up series that GENEON wasn’t able to finish. But I’m all for the licencing of Shana 2, S OVA, and the upcoming 3rd.
PlZ !!!!!!!! on November 4th, 2009 at 7:27 pm says:
Plz licensed shana 2 and OVA is a Must Have Series … i cant beleived you guys can’t see that .. if is licensed problem, well comon try harder, is been what 2 years still havent licensed ..>> also familar zero too

Wow, that marketing panel sounds interesting…
Mitamaking on November 4th, 2009 at 9:23 pm says:
Wait, you mean Funi is doing a con I can go to? Cool, see you there(Nekocon by the way)
Tyrenol on November 4th, 2009 at 9:53 pm says:
As always, AdamS: If you’re introducing a new anime license, my hope is that it’s “pro-shounen” instead of “pro-moe” or another “license rescue.”

mckg1: Anime Depot is in MN and is quite a nice convention.
On the topic of announcing shows. I can’t say anything until we make an official announcement. No promises when and what of course.
