Day 2 was a bit on the dry side, apart from the Gundam 00 Panel, and the Morning Musume concert.
It's 7:23 AM right now, and staff moral is quite low waking up this early. Saturday is probably the busiest day with the most number of attendees and large events.
Keep checking us out occasionally as we will be live blogging Nightow's panel today who promises to bring a first ever world premiere footage of the new Trigun movie. Full detailed panel reports, interviews, photos, and more are coming soon so stick around!
Quick update, yesterday we were able to get a lot of interview:
A quick update after FanimeCon 2009, those of us (t-ono.net staff) who went are exhausted and are not looking forward to a return of daily life as well as working on Fanime related stuff. We will be slowly releasing content over the next few weeks.
Oh, and for the Momoi fans who missed her at FanimeCon, we will be giving away 3 signed shikishi boards by Momoi herself to you the readers! Stay tuned while we work up the contest information.
Things to look forward for we are working on:
- exclusive interview with Momoi Halko
- High resolution Momoi Halko Concert photos
- Photoshoot pictures and cosplay photos (We took over 2000...)
- And of course our full convention report!
Anime Expo announced its very own Maid Café hosted by the Funky Fresh Cosplay Group. The cafe will be providing many services like food, drinks, and games. They are still currently looking for volunteer maids or hosts for the AniMaid Café. Application submissions will be accepted until the beginning of June or until they have enough maids and hosts.

The Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (SPJA) opened the polls for industry awards to the public earlier last week. Three finalists were chosen for each category and it is up to the fans to choose who will win the awards. Some notable categories are best Japanese and American actor/actress, and best character design. The voting will be held online only, and the winners will be announced at this year's Anime Expo Industry Reception, held at Los Angeles Convention Center.
We were asked to nominate individuals within the industry, but we missed the deadline. Though if we had made the deadline, I would have nominated Norio Wakamoto for best Japanese actor for his role as Emperor Charles Di Britannia in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2. "All hail Britannia!"
