I think especially when a good bulk of the fan-based English bloggers are located in Asia, let alone our Australian or European friends, it becomes kind of difficult. However, if you look beyond fan-based blogs, just about most of the major companies, even Japanese ones, have dev blogs and the like. I really think there is a lot to say about the anime blogsphere generally for bloggers and readers alike. It also makes sense why we have 2 podcast-related panels...? Or anime-based internet radio? Eh. I'll just restate my original position in that con panels are not always good indication of actual fan interest because a lot of other miscellaneous things get in the way.

I’ve long figured it’s just a matter of time before we see an anime blogging panel at a major industry convention. The reason it hasn’t happened yet, I think, is because the anime blogging community is still quite young, and was a fairly decentralized place prior to the launch of Blogsuki. And, let’s face it: as great as Animenano is, it’s still only a couple of months old - and the vast majority of the blogs listed there are less than a year old. So, yeah, it’s a young community, us few old-timers notwithstanding. Next con season, perhaps? [...] [...] Call for bloggers?
