Day 1 of Anime Los Angeles has drawn to a close. Unfortunately, as luck (and Murphy) would have it, we spent most of the morning and mid afternoon on the road. We barely got here in time for our first of two panels (but fortunately, we made it – barely). The panel went well, and although attendance wasn’t quite up to our previous benchmark, there were still a respectable number of people present. Unfortunately the only time slot available was a 1-hour one, and our workshop was originally written to run 1-1/2 hours, so some judicious editing needed to be done on my part. Even with the editing, it still ran kind of long, and I had to rush things a bit at the end. But I think people still got a lot out of it. The notes from the first version of our workshop are up; I’ll update them within the next day or 2 with the new and/or updated material (which isn’t very much).
We didn’t really get to see much else of the convention, as right after giving our workshop, we needed to take a breather. (rushing around late into the night last night getting ready for con means we didn’t get enough sleep last night). But we did make it to the AMV contest, and while wandering around, a few other things occurred to us to comment on.

Hi, thanks for doing this report 🙂 however, I noticed that you made a comment about not much new anime being used in the amv contest. Actually the second amv in the action category was all about Toaru Majutsu No Index.
OK, I stand corrected. Thanks for that information. Not sure what was going on; either I wasn’t paying attention or I thought that it was a different series.
