I had missed the entire 2008-event, and am hoping to at least make it t the very least for STUDIO４℃'s GENIUS PARTY BEYOND on October 18th (9pm)! Was blown away with the visuals when Koji Morimoto's segment was previewed in AFA'08 ~ but after searching for and posting/viewing trailers for the movies [CLICK THRU to view all] ~ I really want to catch ALL of them! But alas, no money, no animation-honey :p
