For Bandai:

Several Sunrise anime have seen remastered releases in Japan. Any possibly of some Gundam series, Outlaw Star and the like getting a remastered release in America? Maybe Blu-Ray as well?

Will there be a box set of the original Mobile Suit Gundam? I'd be interested even if it was dub only but all the more interested if we could get a Japanese audio track with English subs this time around.

For FUNimation:

Has Nicktoons expressed interest in any other anime beyond DBZ Kai?

Is DBZ Kai the only FUNimation anime that will be airing on 4Kids Toonzai block?

Why aren't your bodypillows stain-resistant? I've used one a couple of weeks ago and the stain is still there! Do you accept returns?


Body pillows are licensed to Great Eastern. www.geanimation.com.

Have you tried OxyClean? Their tagline is "Gets the Tough Stains Out" www.oxiclean.com

My other advice is buy a second body pillow to replace the old one or buy several different body pillows so you have options.

I second these questions.

OK, since I doubt I'll ever get a chance to ask this question, I'll bite.

Are robot animes terrible sellers, or is there just not enough of a fanbase to even consider looking at them. I know Bandai has pretty much had the monopoly on shows like that, but considering Funi picked up Linebarrel and Gun X Sword, is that something we might see more of, or is it just a fluke?

For Bandai: Any word at all about what sort of extras we can expect for Gundam Unicorn volume 2? Also, thank you for including some!

For FUNimation: Any progress to report on the Dragon Age co-production? If not when might we expect to learn which studio is animating it, etc?

For Bandai: If you guys are doing K-ON! Blu-rays, do you plan to use the pink Blu-ray cases like the Japanese used?

Was busy packing up mini-booth from Baltiport. Only one item was for sale, a copy of Gundam Unicorn I had in my carry on.

Second time today I've had to tear down a booth.

A first.

As is, in-flight convention

I'm so behind on questions I don't know that I can catch up with my limited battery life.

Will Bluewater (Ocean Group) have the lock rights for the Mai-franchise including the Mai Otome Sifr (OVA)?


along these lines will FUNimation use Ocean Group for the Black Lagoon OVAs?


As we have done with Tenchi Muyo OVA 3, Evangelion 1.11 and Slayers Revolution and evolution-R -- we try to "bring the band back together" and get as many of the original cast as possible.

It's a little too early to talk about the progress since we just announced we have Black Lagoon OVAs at Anime Expo.

Gundam Unicorn 2 extras: I only know what we announced at panel--20 minutes of extras and 60 minute feature. I don't have details on the extras but I'll see if I can find out.

No word on Girl Who Leapt Through Time Blu-ray, sorry about that one.

As for the Code Geass Manga, the mix up on the title was my fault apologies to all, but it wouldn't be a proper con without some form of misinformation getting released.

A question on the future of more Gundam announcements.

The number one question we get.

We're happy to have announced TURN A, I don't have any details as yet regarding the specs for the title.

As mentioned at Otakon, we know the demand for some kind of re-release of original Gundam. No plan is set, but it's being discussed.
