From Mike:
This is it, folks: the video you’ve all been waiting for: JPMeyer, Hinano, and DS live in the flesh! This panel is all about how to start an anime blog, with plenty of Q&A from the audience–plus a bonus interview with Omo and the panel three afterwards! Recorded by myself and my erstwhile cameraman, Young Lee, the man with the HD camera. Many thanks to him for providing the equipment.
I just watched the NYAF Anime Blogger Panel video. Great questions, and the interview afterwards was especially interesting. I can relate to MMO downtime, and it’s great that something productive came of those moments in between putting. I was impressed with the video quality, too (since I had to DL the gigantor version after learning that Veoh only shows a 5 minute preview…). I’ve never been to a con or a panel before, so I’m really glad I got a chance to watch the video.
Also, LOL @ Omo being disappointed in the lack of dorama.
Edit: Looks like Mike added a Flash version of the video, so you can watch the whole thing streaming now (and at a pretty good resolution).

You can blame T-mobile and their lack of reception in the panel rooms
Now that I am an internet video star, I think I should have an IMDB entry! And how many degrees am I from Kevin Bacon?
I think the question should be more like how many degress is Kevin Bacon from you?
Hinano’s comment reminds me of those AT&T (Beeeeep, Hinano’s phone) commercials.
Just finished this, great stuff, though I wish the audience’s questions were subbed, I couldn’t hear most of them. The bit where the trio talked about Pangya were cute.
I wish the whole thing was subbed ‘cos I couldn’t understand some parts, but it was a good video with nice quality nevertheless
Definitely a Kabitzin Geass moment when JP said: ‘Dan-Go!’ at the start after Dan introduced himself. :3
The nightmare has already started.
You might be no Kevin but you eated teh bacon, that’s for sure.
Hinano wasn’t kiddin’ when she said JP looked like Harry Potter! XD Next time, he better say “ARADACADABRA!!!” so I can
fap to it… … remember to watch Equus…I’d say the content was pretty good. I sort of wish some anime bloggers would do more video game reviews, not just on anime-based or totally Jananese-culture-like games. And I also somewhat disagree when JP said not to go too much on your personal life. Yea, I know anime blogging shouldn’t be about what you did over the weekend, but *stalker hat on* I wouldn’t mind knowing what anime bloggers do in their daily life. :love:
…and it took me awhile to get the “DAN-GO” joke. I never imagined DS would look like that. Not that its a bad thing, but its like a Clark Kent thing, the man you know as the mail man or cashier at the super market is actually AN ANIME BLOGGER!!! (no offense to comparing DS to a mail man… he looks like my mail man
)
…thats not a very nice thing to say! I eated teh bacon too!!! ITS NOT EASY LOSING WEIGHT!!! *cries in a corner*
