Did any of its Japanese staff seem to be there, such as Toshio Okada? Was there some sort of introduction given for the film, or questions taken afterward? <br /><br />The reason that I ask is that the ANIMAG article (I'm not absolutely sure, but I think it was Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060170380021797645.post-14626205422100928142017-04-11T23:08:53.112-04:002017-04-11T23:08:53.112-04:00I greatly enjoyed finding and sharing these treasu...I greatly enjoyed finding and sharing these treasures but it also opened up a great big box of "if I knew then what I know now" regrets. <br /><br />Not just the stuff I didn't buy but SHOULD have (ha. money was so damn limited) but all the things I didn't do.
