If any of you go, and he takes questions, ask him about any possible Macross Delta movies.

[NZEOD]

Will do

[coronadlux]

Can someone get me an autograph? I'll pay for the service.

on what?

I have a few master files, the Sortie books, All the 1/72 hasegawa boxes... or just on a bit of paper?

[coronadlux]

Never thought about "on what."

A 1/72 scale box art would probably be cheaper to ship.

There are some pretty big names going to this thing, I wish I could make it. I'd like to meet the voice of Rick Hunter, Tony Oliver. I know, he's from Robotech but that's what started it all for me.

Yeah yet I didnt think Macross was that big a deal here in NZ... I was wrong

[NZEOD]

Tickets are booked, got a Hasegawa VF-0S box to be signed for a forum member and now its time to go watch Macross Zero... again

[ntsan]

I attend the panel and it is the best day of my life, I got it recorded on my camera and will upload to YouTube.

He talk about his growing up experience and what made him want to do macross stuff, show some photo of him during uni year, it was full on presentation from him, only downside is the translator skipped some stuff or talk pretty generic , and 1hr is too short for him, no time for qa session

Got him to sign Ranka and Sheryl figure and poster!

[NZEOD]

Ahhh I saw you come in, you had a black jacet on over the SMS shirt

Yeah the translator woman was pretty sub par. Clearly didn't know what we was talking about so she stumbled over some words like Valkyrie, Walkure, Zentreadi etc.

That was my little boy tearing round the back of the room and throwing the ball around before I kicked him out

Here is the video for the whole panel

[Mazinger]

Just started watching this, but for those of you who missed the 2016 Anime Expo presentation in Los Angeles, the beginning and slideshow part is the same.

[Mazinger]

Well he didn't do a Q&A during the presentation. Darn.

If you were privy to any questions that were asked and answered, please post what you may have overheard, and thanks again to those that attended and put this video up.

[NZEOD]

pretty much none other than what was discussed during signings. His translator was hopeless so it took longer to get to the current material and by then the next panel was ready to enter the room and they cut him short!

HAHAHA you can hear my 2yr old in the background every now and then! At 3.55 he was trying to talk to him we think

[NZEOD]

All I got from him was that hes working on ideas for Post Delta.

[UN Spacy]

Simply awesome. Thank for sharing NZEOD.

[NZEOD]

Me and the little man on our way up to Stage 2 for Macross

The little man being inducted at an early age into the Cult Of Macross

Us covering the exits while Kawamori-san spoke... always on duty

Even the Chief Financial Officer enjoyed herself

The Little man was rather fascinated by the cabinets of figures.

Hey NZEOD,

I'm glad you all enjoyed the event.

ntsan,

Thanks for the video. Hope I heard about this event months earlier.

[coronadlux]

That's cool. Get em started early. Glad the CFO enjoyed herself too.

[sh9000]

Thanks for the video. Especially since we weren't allowed to record the panel at AX.
