— PANELS! When can i expect random banter from the all the anime staff?

We know there’s a large portion of attendees who like to chill out and watch some panels. Well don’t you worry because the AllTheAnime panels will be back in full force at MCM London Comic Con, this time on the Silver Stage. Exact times will be getting published by MCM themselves soon – keep your eyes peeled – but we can tell you there will be one on Friday and another on Sunday.

What can you expect from the panels? A good question. We don’t want to spoil the surprise – and great fun if you’ve attended them before, particularly the Sunday panel from last October – but what we will say is you can expect discussion on what to expect from us (AllTheAnime) over the remainder of the year, relating to both home video releases and anime coming to cinema. There will also be an anything goes Q&A section – a personal highlight for us as we’re never sure what you’re going to ask – and overall they’ll be just be a good laugh!
