Hey everyone, it'sa me! Gia!

So Brad and I are yucking it up at Anime Next with any number of people, including reader KuronoK, AnimeAlmanac's Scott, Ani-Gamers' Vampt Vo, Anime Next staffer Trisha, and anyone else who can stand us long enough to hang out. We've hung out with Del Rey Manga's Dallas Middaugh too (here's my writeup at giapet.net, and Brad's as well)-- but he skipped town before we could try to drag him into the podcast.

But anyway, Brad and I have been tasked with recording a Podtoid-san here, for which we'll try and accumulate as many of the aforementioned people (and anyone else we come up with). We'll talk about Del Rey's guide to busting into the OEL manga world, we'll speculate on what, if anything, ADV's presence with a booth (but no panel) means, and we'll dish on the cosplay and other drama we've been seeing.

We're recording it sometime tomorrow (Saturday), and seeing as I'm too lazy to do any actual editing, it's entirely plausible that it'll get posted before 62 does. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Or something.

But as always, we want your comments, questions, flames, praise, etc! So, do you think Del Rey should delve further into the OEL world? What do you think ADV is up to these days?

And hey, since he's running Media Blasters' panel at this con-- what do you think of Jon Sirabella's hints that something major is coming to hit the US anime industry?
