Hey, is there no FMA fan panel this year? What's up with that? You'd think with the new series starting to air in Japan, that we FMA fans would love to come together and talk about it. It kinda makes me sad.

I already went through that list, that is why I'm posting. There is no FMA fan panel on that list. I can't believe that with the new series just coming out that no body would do a fan panel. I'm just sad.

Well maybe people didn't want to take on doing a fan panel since both Vic and Caitlin are gonna be at ACen doing their own panels/q&a.

That hasn't stop people from having fan panels the last few years when Vic and other FMA VA's were guests with their own panels. I would just like to have an FMA discussion with other fans without Vic being present. Sorry, I just don't like the guy.

Oh I'm not fond of the guy either, I was just throwing it out there that his presence at Con could be a factor of why no one is doing an FMA fan panel. Other factors could be that people didn't have time to plan one or by the time they remembered they wanted to do it panel reg was closed. I personally forgot about wanting to do a panel until several days after panel reg had closed. [I was going to do a panel on ftm passing for cosplay]

We had a few submissions for FMA Panels, we carefully reviewed them and unforunatly we did not feel they would be quality panels. Keep in mind when people submit a panel we look for depth and good discussion points, a plan if you will. Some of the ones we had they just said "FMA Panel" thats it, no outline, no "this is what I am gonna talk about"

Its odd usually we have 3 or 4 FMA panels too, and ones that are approved usually, and with Brotherhood airing too this season I would figure more people would have submitted one.

A well thought out FMA Panel is needed, not just a I'm a fan of FMA, lets sit in a room and talk about it. While those panels are good, they usually have low attendance and end up getting out of control.
