Questions for Maaya at AnimeFest?

I'm going to AnimeFest! Since there may (?) be a fan panel, submit any questions you would like me to try to ask Maaya if I get the chance. I'm also trying to arrange an actual interview on behalf of maayas.net. We count as a real fanclub and fansite, don't we? ;-) So fire away with those questions,...

[quote="Grey Archangel"]WOW. Thanks for the link, roxfan. I love how she's clapping for herself. XD[/quote] I think she's actually clasping her hands together in surprise at the audience reaction. Listening to my recording, you can hear just how long and how loud we clapped for her after that unexpe...

[quote="jason"][quote="Therax"]Just curious, did you use my recording of the panel to "refresh" your memory? You beat me to the punch on transcribing my own recording. ;-)[/quote] I had my own mini-tape recorder with me, but yeah, your recording was helpful since it's of better quality (using dynami...

[quote="slippy"]But because she wasn't promoting a new series (thus why I'm surprised she didn't perform Loop during the encore), obviously Geneon would have to put it somewhere else, if at all.

I had some trouble accessing the site earlier today. DNS troubles? Also, the computer my scanner is attached to died a sudden death, so you'll all have to wait a bit longer to get concert program scans. These are already available from a few other AX2005 reports.
