5:43 - I don't even know what's going on here! Ooh, a big Kadokawa Pictures USA logo! And... that's it. Seriously, what the hell is going on here? Oh, cute girls on the stage. Chiyako Tasai and Yuko Abe, from Kadokawa. Call me.

This is the first time they're presenting at Anime Expo, ever. They're happy about recent licenses. They're going to update us on existing titles and then present new titles. 

Here we go:

- H2O - Footprints in the sand. 12 eps based on the eroge.

- Good Luck! Ninomiya-kun! I love this show more than you!

- Rental Magica - 24 eps. I need to watch this.

- Coo ~ Our Guardian - New title. 24 episode comedy and supernatural drama. Ooh, gender switching. Ooh, fox ears.

- Romantica ~Pure Love~ 12 episode BL comedy/ drama. Manga sold 3 million copies in Japan. 3 couples mixed together, calling it a "love diamond."

- Spice and Wolf - 13 ep series, based in Feudal Europe. Wolf spirit... wait. Why am I telling you this?

Updates on titles:

- The Girl who Leapt through Time - available August.

- Lucky Star - OVA in production now. Yay.

Oh, now Bandai Entertainment is taking the stage. What's going on here? Robert is everywhere! They're talking more about the limited theatrical release of The Girl who Leapt through Time. Someone from Ocean Studios is talking about the dub. 

Now they're doing a quiz to win prizes. There's a Haruhi body pillow. *heavy breathing*

Wow. You sure get a lot calls, huh?
Oinara-sama=coo~ our guardian i assume. I was more interesting in Kou-chan XD. Rental Magica was pretty good IMO, and probably the only one of those licenses i'd concidering buying.
Did you get the Haruhi body pillow?
Did you die?
Also, hells yeah on Spice & Wolf!
so who got the Haruhi pillow? Was blood shed over it?
I don't suppose I could hope for a timely release of a blu-ray version of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
Wait, nevermind, info is that they hope to release it with Bandai next year.
