The big news from Day 3 of Otakon is ADV finally has new stuff to announce.

First up, for anime, they have the 3 episode Indian Summer (Koharu Biyori) OVA.

Then under a new subbrand called Switchblade Films they have a few live action films.  A new series of Kunoichi movies, Female Prisoner Epsilon, Attack Girl Swim Team Vs. the Undead, Cruel Restaurant, and Gluttonous 1 & 2.

We also may get some news on the live action Evangelion film later this year

Not much news for today either.

Bandai (unsurprisingly) has the .hack//G.U. Trilogy CGI movie.

Crunchyroll will be adding a number of series from ADV, Media Blasters, and Gonzo up in the following weeks and months.

Kadokawa has Garei Zero, based on the Garei manga.

and JAM Project showed up at the Bandai panel and gave out Lucky Star T-Shirts.

Tomorrow is the ADV panel, so let’s see what happens there.

The first day of Otakon’s panels is beginning to come to a close and as for announcements….

Nothing was really announced, I guess you could count Saber Rider (although no one I know was at the Voltron/Saber Rider panel, so I have no idea if anything was actually announced there), but that was announced yesterday.

At the Media Blasters panel some people brought up Gaogaigar Final and nothing concrete was said one way or the other.  Funimation’s panel was largely just going over stuff we already knew.  I guess whatever ‘thing’ Gen had mentioned in quite a few recent interviews isn’t ready to be announced yet, hopefully soon.

Let’s hope we get some interesting news in the next couple of days.

Thought I’d make a post so anyone who wants can make a comment with any licensing predictions for Otakon.

Honestly, I don’t quite have many guesses this year myself, the industry has been a bit to jumpy.

But here is what I know for now. Continue reading →
