Episode 154 – The Striking Convention Menagerie! (Part 1)

It’s that time of year again, when the convention season meets its apex in Los Angeles for the cluster-mess known as Anime Expo - where all of your dreams may not come true but there’s bound to be some cool announcements. In the first part of this two-part episode, there is some pre-AX news to go over as well as a Discotek stream to recap - which had some interesting announcements in its own right - before kicking off with the first day of Anime Expo… well, most of the first day, anyway, since it was especially packed this year. You’ll be hearing about TRIGGER’s plans for Panty & Stocking, a unique Gundam project coming soon, more information on the upcoming Pluto series, and LOTS of manga announcements - with more to come in the second part, too.
