Some of you may have heard about the upcoming Atlus Shin Megami Tensei panel taking place at this year's Anime Expo in LA, and I'm headed down there this weekend to cover it -- among other things. You might just think of Anime Expo as cosplay central, but it does have a reasonable gaming presence, with the aforementioned Atlus, NIS America, and Aksys (among others) either exhibiting or holding panels this year. And one of this year's guests of honor is none other than David Hayter -- and if you don't recognize his name, you'd surely recognize his voice. Unfortunately, Snake's a busy man, and we weren't able to nail down a scheduled interview (we tried!). Oh, well -- we'll get him at some point, I'm sure! And sadly, the other big MGS voice, Quinton Flynn (most recently voicing Badass Raiden in MGS4), had to cancel his Anime Expo appearance -- a shame, since from what I've heard, he's supposed to be a pretty cool guy. That doesn't mean we won't have plenty of content for you over the weekend, though. Here's an overview of who I've either made plans to interview -- or will otherwise furiously attempt to track down -- during the show: * Yu Namba and Nich Maragos, localization staff at Atlus USA * Yuri Lowenthal, voice of Ryoji in Persona 3, Luke in Tales of the Abyss, and Cecil in Final Fantasy IV DS (among others) * Karen Strassman, voice of Chidori in Persona 3, Sialeeds in Suikoden V, and Rosa in Final Fantasy IV DS (among others) * Pa ...

The rest of my day was really quite awesome. I won a raffle, ended up joining a panel — spontaneously! – and met some very cool ladies of manga and Anime blogging. Oh yes, then I went to the AMV show. It was a full, rich, exhausting day. Friday’s schedule looks to be just as insanely busy. Upon returning to [...] ...

My day two went like this: panel, panel, panel, panel, panel, panel, panel. And then more panel. (It’s like that SNL Christopher Walken skit, “I need more cow-bell!” That is how I currently feel about panels. Um. Except in reverse). I managed to see Viz, DarkHorse, DMP, Nozomi/Right Stuff, and ADV. That is a LOT of [...] ...

So my first time West of Des Moines, Iowa ever (oh shush, I grew up on the East coast) treats me to a bomb threat at the LAX airport. Fun! This is going to be short and not very sweet but oh well. I feel the need to share my convention horror mildly inconveniencing stories. Also, my dinner [...] ...
