Seems like the standard "How we work" seminar.

Any chance of a major aquisition being annouced?

[livingfruitvirus]

If by major you mean anime, that's a big maybe. They'll most likely announce a bunch of pilots and premises in development, but we can never be sure. Last year's announcements for American Dad replays, The Boondocks, and Super Milk Chan were all made at Dragon Con in Atlanta.

I should also point out that, even though the press release doesn't say it, Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer both claim to be attending.

[Sketch]

Well they wont need another anime until much later this year and we already have FMA and GitS coming back in Fall. So I guess they'll pick up somthing to replace s-CRY-ed eventually. I'm not expecting anything big. Champloo was the big thing this year I believe.
