Attended the first two panels and unfortunately did not attend the Japan Society panel because it was outside the ANYC Javits convention (opposite end of town) and I didn't have the time constraints to bounce around b/w events/panels.

The Friday (Creating...) panel was maybe 3/8ths full.

The Saturday (Macross) panel was around 4/8+ths full.

A friend did help me land an autograph with Kawamori sensei! Got the Macross Mecha Manual signed! A few of my other friends didn't realize how much influence he had in the Japanese sci-fi/mecha (and others) genre of the 80s and onwards.

Lucky bastard. That's what I should have done.

This was the Japan Society experience:
