Chris Sabat press panel (via NebsTV Twitter)

LINK - Sabat is excited about a "killer announcement" that @FUNimation is doing tomorrow at their #ACen panel. Too bad he can't say it yet!

LINK - I asked Sabat if they ever thought about finishing DBZ Kai on their own, without Japan's help. He & Justin Cook have talked about it! #ACen

LINK - But unfortunately sales for Kai haven't been great. If anything, it's boosted sales of the orange brick box sets instead. #ACen
