How far in advance do they schedule guests? Michelle Ruff was also Ran The Goldfish in Angel Tales and Chi in Chobits.She can be considered the
American Tanaka Rei for the fact that they played some of the same roles.

poniesof every gender, every Sailor Scout and even a cosplayer of Otakon’s own Ice Cold Water man (yes he’s here again). Today was mainly a day to shop at the Dealer’s Room and hang out with friends. Tomorrow, more panels and hopefully meeting up with Chuck 
.The panels I did go to were Anime News Network’s and Funimation’s Sneak-Peak. The first was about how the popular anime news source works, as well as updates coming soon to the site.
Funimation on the other hand was full of video clips of titles they have released and ones coming up. Hetalia Season 4 had two clips, since it seems to be Funimation’s favourite, followed by Full Metal Alchemist: Milo (film that debuted last year at Otakon) as well as Ergo-Proxy.
The woman up front presenting these clips then makes a comment that they have obtained a lot of Geneon titles, then names a few such as Ai Yori Aoshi which apparently “defined the harem genre”.I simply blinked and rolled my eyes at that. Next up was Cat Planet Cuties….
fanservice fanservice and more fanservice. Texhnolyze, a mind-fuck anime by the creator of Lain, which is another Geneon title. It was then mentioned that there will be a new Hellsing animesoon. Nexttttt was Dragon Age, a series because Funimation co-directed the game so they are promoting that series more. Next next, a horror genre called Shiki, which seems more like yaoi vampires. Another popular Funimation title that got a lot of noise was Panty and Stocking… and it got two video clips. Not quite sure how I feel about that show. Finally the trailer for Ai Yori Aoshi is shown, and NOW the girl mentions that AYA AND Tenchi defined the harem genre. That was the only mention of Tenchi at that panel. The last two trailers were Freezing ( fannnnnnservice) and C Control *shrug*. I sat through this panel, which had maybe 400 people and a lot of clapping/cheering. People love Funimation. That’s my report; I am le tired.
Ai Yori Aoshi defines the harem anime genre?
😮 I would’ve had said either Tenchi or Love Hina myself.It’s not that I don’t like Ai Yori Aoshi,I do,in fact I have one vol. of the first season and the final two of season 2,the Enishi season(Geneon only had 3
volumes for Enishi).The fact is it’s probably one of the more lesser known harem comedies.I mean when you think HAREM COMEDY,it’s Tenchi or Love Hina.
