I wish I was optimistic as you with these videos.But the only good thing that I got was the return of Carl Macek.
Also consider the title of that Con is "
Anime" on display but the only anime was a cut and paste of Ariel from Little Mermaid,,,I mean from Shadow Chronicles so I guess that qualified as an "anime" to display

but the sad thing is that there has been no anime from Robotech since 2006 and it seems like it will be a long time till we see something worth looking into.
One other good thing that could come from these CONS is honesty from HG about Robotech! For example if HG actually made a honest announcement to the fans something like "Sorry about Showdow Rising being put on indefinite hold but the LAM comes first so you are stuck with comics,rpgs,t-shirts and other bells and whistles and after the LAM Robotech will have more anime,until then,wait" but I guess that was obvious already.
