Thanks to everyone who showed up to our panels at Anime Boston 2011! Like so much of the panel programming, most everything we did was packed to capacity such that several had to be turned away, so if you attended our events and liked them, please spread the word on the Anime Boston forums, Twitter, Facebook, and so on. If you’d like to give us direct feedback (likes/dislikes, disagreements over the lying lies coming out of our lying heads, etc), the place where we’re most likely to see it is in the comments of this post.
