Akon Report
This past weekend ADV had the pleasure of attending
AKON 13 in Dallas. WOW! Over 6500 people there and everyone was having fun. I didn?t hear a single discouraging word about the con. Way to go AKON!
Matt Greenfield and David Williams did a great panel and discussed some cool things. The
Aura Battler Dunbine Mospeada and
Southern Cross box sets seemed to be the biggest thing talked about after our panel. Those are gonna be really cool.
We also confirmed what we have known all along: People
really love
Excel Saga. We gave away hundreds of the awesome ?
Excel Saga is Yummy? posters (which people can?t stop raving about) and sold out of the DVDs we brought to the con on Friday. We had to order a ton more for the rest of the weekend! And those didn?t last too long either! Loads of smiles all around for the lucky ones who picked up the DVD a few days before this Tuesday?s street date. I know that everyone who watches the show will love it. Even at our usual AKON hospitality suite the visitors wanted to watch it all day. Who are we to turn down an entire day of
Excel? After all we love the show just as much as everyone else! It was great fun.
When we come back from
Anime Expo next month I?m sure we?ll have a lot of great news to talk about so make sure to check back here for a report. Until then have fun!
