Re: MomoCon 2015 Discussion Thread

One piece of news that I'm sure will be announced at MomoCon: the show that will take over Inuyasha's spot once that ends in mid-June. Three likely titles that may take over Inuyasha's spot:

-Sailor Moon Crystal (if dub work has already started for it)
-Durarara Season 2
-Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (especially considering parent company Warner Bros. handling the U.S. release)

Viz actually confirmed during their last Moonlight Party that they are working on it.

Given that not much was announced at ACen that I'm not expecting much to come out of Momocon. The most I can expect is the dub casts for some of Funimation's phase 2 broadcast dubs.

Toonami is likely to annouce something. Maybe Aniplex might also chose to annouce the dub of Aldnoah.Zero before the Toonami panel.

Re: MomoCon 2015 Discussion Thread

The Viz panel has just run its course, and from the look of things with their social media, there's nothing to announce, which I have come to expect.
