Things seem to be slow today, but check below for Tokyopop’s big movie announcement for NYAF.
Up at the MangaCast: Speculation about new titles from Go!Comi! G!C honcho David Wise immediately rebuts the rumors—sort of:
There is ABSOLUTELY no truth to these rumors. And it is POSITIVELY untrue that we will be announcing these or any other licenses at our panel at the New York Anime Festival on December 7th at 5:00 PM in room 1A24. That’s a week from Friday at 5 o’clock. Room 1A24. But you’ll get nothing out of me!
Also: Ed went to the Takehiko Inoue event last week, and he brings back the new title goodness.
