Interesting that of that long list of programming there’s no mention of the growing impact of fansubs, torrents and the Internet.
Hrm.
Maybe it is because I am not in New York, but I figured that someone would be commenting on the Del Rey and Marvel secret announcement…
There will be questions about the state of Fansubs at the state of the Anime INdustry and all of the other industry panels. People are very concerend about this especially those who are people who spend a lot of money on DVD’s.
greetings all anime fans out there..
