Stream's offline unfortunately, hopefully it'll come back on in a sec.
It's back online now.
If you can't stream, here's a transcript that will be updated as the panel happens: http://bayoab.info/live/live2.php?panel=0.
Damn it went offline again.
They said at the end of their live stream that the panel would be mostly recapping their announcements this weekend. There wouldn't be any new news.
Oh well, hope they answer questions at least. I have a few series I'd like an update on.

Guess it's where they forced Scott to watch as many eps as he could before OP went back on toonami.
Can't seem to figure out how to watch the stream… It only appears to give me options for pre-aired stuff.
EDIT: Nevermind. Had to sign in.
They showed the S5V1 trailer. A lot of cheers and applause!
Keep refreshing but the steam just won't show up for me after the ad. I think I'll just stick to the live feed then…

Don't look like there will be any announcements unfortunately..
Panel was a waste of time.
They specifically said ahead of time that it was just going to be a recap of everything they had already announced.

But they said it at the end though. So 1 hour of trailers followed by "oh yeah its gonna be the same thing". But whatever there's gotta be at least something at Otakon.
No, they said it before the panel started. Zorospride told us right before the start of it on the last page.
Oh well I didn't know. Still a waste of time regardless though.
At least they were upfront about it before the panel. I'd rather that than them trying to tease something and then pulling back.
Otakon should be interesting
You would think after still having a season of One Piece to come out+Strong World coming in November that you guys would be able to relax without hearing news.

Agreed. But I can understand why people are concerned. We're finally getting the anime released at a consistent rate over here. I think the last thing anyone wants to happen is for the anime to fall into another year and a half hiatus. I think people just want to know that we're going to continue getting consistent releases. But I'll be shocked if Otakon comes and goes without the announcement of Season 6.

I'm not only talking about One Piece though. They just didn't announce anything to my interest. And besides if they don't announce Season 6 this year then wouldn't that mean One Piece would go on a break again? Just saiyan.
Wow today was a letdown. It looks like they are saving the big announcements for Otakon again. I'm hoping for a S6 announcement, but information on any possibilities for a theatrical SW run would be nice too.

Looking through the feed thing again, it looks like we at least got pricing for Strong World:
16:00:02 <bay|ax|funi>bd/dvd 34.98
16:00:07 <bay|ax|funi>dvd only 29.98
Looks like this will be cheaper than any of the voyages, which is nice.</bay|ax|funi></bay|ax|funi>

Retail for Funi's movies is normally 20-30 for DVD, 25-35 for Blu/DVD combos. Places like RightStuf will have it for even cheaper.
And there you go.
Anyway funimation has a bluray for strong world as good as this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003OMWLEO/ref=mw_dp_img?is=l&qid=1373266807&sr=8-1
I'm hoping for some sort of extra goodie or special edition, but it'll probably just be a normal case with a slipcover. Like their other films.
Really, the only Strong World extra I really want is episode 0. It would be nice if they included the strong world episodes that were in the anime, but I know that won't happen. And perhaps Shonen Jump could release chapter 0 in Weekly Shonen Jump?

How would that be possible?

Personally, I don't care if it comes out in weekly. We already have a digital copy. I'd love for it to be physical, bundled with the film.
Amazon got both Season 5, part 1 and Season 5, part 2 for 24.96 right now.

Not everyone. :(
It's highly improbable that they'll dub Episode 0, due to all the new voices they would have to cast for characters that won't appear for another hundred episodes.
Chapter 0 is a maybe, but I can only see it being released on the Weekly Shonen Jump website.
Or maybe Funimation could include special exclusive codes in the set that could be used to access the chapter on WSJ. That would be nice.

Sure didn't stop then when they needed voices for the unlimited adventure video game. Anyways the biggest issue would be going through that much trouble for one little thing
The biggest issue is Episode 0 never got a proper home video release and the license for that animation actually falls under House Foods, who organized the small limited releases as part of a contest to promote the movie. It's not like this was something included with the BD of SW as an extra. If Toei fully owned the rights to it and gave it a home video release then I think there would've been a chance. .

Ah yes. I did kinda forget about that.
I pre-ordered Fairy Tail part five at the same time as S5V1, and the gift that goes along with it is reserved for my order, while the others are still on order, but I could only imagine that within the next day or two, we could start seeing the actual sets in a reserved status, if not actually shipping yet.
Does anyone remember how long ahead of time the S4V1 gift was reserved, if at all?

I also ordered Fairy Tail Part 5 back in May and the gift that comes with it has been reserved from the start. So I don't think that the gift factors in the sets shipping or not. Though I still think the sets will ship sometime this week and maybe arrive next week.
I remember for Season 4 we had the gift reserved way before the shipping and ended up getting excited for nothing. The gift being reserved doesn't necessarily mean they have the DVD in stock yet, just the gift itself.

I ordered mine back in April, and all of the items said, "On Order", until today, where just one of them changed to reserved.
Man, I can't believe it hasn't updated yet. It really should ship this week.
And yeah, gift being reserved just means the gift is now in stock. Doesn't mean the DVD came with it.
All I was saying was that there was a change. A change that could be heralding shipments. I just couldn't remember what the timing was like with the whole gift thing for S4V1.
Dang, I leave for overseas on Saturday for 10 weeks so I really really hope this ships by tomorrow :/

Yeah I thought I would be watching the episodes by now. What if something crazy happend and Rightstuf only ships out on release date now? :(

DON'T YOU SAY THAT.
See this is why I never use right stuff, it's just so unpredictable.

But the surprise when it does update is nice. And, you know, having the set weeks early. There will always be cons, but the pros far outweigh them in this case.
Unless you're talking about ordering from them outside of preorders. I only preorder. Amazon is much more reliable for the immediate stuff.

Sorry to be a bad news bear, but often, the set doesn't ship until the day after the status changes to 'Reserved for your Order'. There was only one time that I can remember where it all happened the same day.

Funimation has always been okay with them shipping it early. I don't see why that would stop. I've heard them promote it before by stating that it ships stuff early.
Also, there was one set (I think it was s4v1) that didn't come till a few days before retail release. It just happens sometimes. Usually at the beginning of new licensing contracts. I'm not too surprised it's late. When I posted earlier, I had actually thought it was due out next week. We're still two weeks out. Not so bad yet.
I mostly order on amazon, since its cheaper then rightstuf for me. Since I live Iowa, which rightstuf is at and they charge taxes, which make it more expensive for me.
The early shipping is indeed a plus, it just really bites when it doesn't though. :(
To be honest I've never pre ordered from right stuff because of this, and just mostly stick with amazon. I know life's not perfect, just expressing my disappointment.

This surprises me, too. I've always thought rightstuf was cheaper than amazon in regards to these sets, even with taxes.
Amazon usually has the sets for 35ish, while rightstuf has it for 23. Even with taxes and shipping, it still comes out to less. Though amazon does have it lower sometimes, as someone notified us earlier this week.

But it always does, just not always weeks early.
