Quotable: (Ueda) "What's really enjoyable for me is when I'm thinking of the littlest details, whether it's a specific word or a title or whatever, and I'm on my way home on my bicycle and something comes up in my head, and I think and reflect to myself, 'Oh my gosh, I'm a genius!'"



Justin Sevakis


Who he is: Producer at Pom Poko! Oh wait, My Neighbors the Yamadas, too. And there was that one time I was moved to tears by the Kellogg's logo at the end of Barney and Friends, but I was really really hopped up on over-the-counter cold medication at the time."



Aaron Dismuke


Who he is: Voice actor

What he's done: Roles: Young Akito, Hiro Sohma (Yū Yū Hakusho)

Quotable: "I recorded Elric's lines in a bowl and I of course managed to kick it into the mic over and over again, producing an ear piercing, deafeningly loud noise that was the formula for me nearly getting fired. Other than that, it was really cool."



Myung-Jin Lee


Who he is: Creator of the Ragnarok franchise

What he's done: The popular Ragnarok Online game and companion comic series

Quotable: "Even if you're not fighting, it's easier to make friends in Ragnarok by going into towns and talking to other players. The gameplay's also easier than Final Fantasy's."



Chris Beveridge


Who he is: , founder of AnimeonDVD.com

What he's done: Over 2000 anime reviews!

Quotable: "Probably the most surprising thing about the industry is that they haven't hired anyone to knock me off yet."
