Panel: Gene, Chris, Matt

News:

We covered the major aquitions and news coming out of this years Anime Expo 2007. Hear what we liked, what we didn’t like and why Bandai needs to get some new licences. As much as we wanted to have a sent in a con-report to go over talking about the non industry panels and news coming out of AX2k7 we didn’t have any probably due to non of our listeners being able to go. For a written report of AX, I suggest you check one of the major anime news distrubution websites.
