Wait, a Blue Exorcist panel? What's that about?

I think there was a countdown recently about a new Blue Exorcist project. It hasn't been said what medium though, manga, anime or what.

Also, it took all my willpower not to just post "Blue Exorcist" :p

Im glad you didn't because now I'm somewhat excited!
 
I'm curious about the JoJo panel. Wonder if we'll get Part 3 anime release info and confirmation on whether they actually do plan on re releasing the 2012 series.

It wouldn't surprise me if JoJo's first season was out by Christmas...

Since AoA is promoting this panel so much I think the medium is obvious.
And the official japanese site (where the countdown is) only show the video medium. (Fim/TVserie/drama) http://www.ao-ex.com/

For this AX I hope :

Viz : release date for K S2 and film on Blu-Ray.
AoA : Mushishi s2 (yeah i know lol) God Eater, Owari and koyomimonogatari release date (Or at least release plans for Koyomi).
Funimation : Steins;Gate Movie + TV série CE.
 
That does look a lot like Paranoia Agent. I wouldn't double dip but it's something which deserves to be back in circulation.

A Nozomi release of Paranoia Agent would get my money in a heartbeat. I'm not the biggest fan of Satoshi Kon's work, but I presume if that happened, it wouldn't be censored in the same way as the UK release. And as much as I don't like the idea of seeing the material that was cut, I like censorship of mature, creative works even less.
 
Extra teasers from Nozomi on potential announcements:

Someone I follow on Twitter believes it could be Galaxy Angel.
 
So is this hint for a single show or 4 different potential announcements?

Just so people know what they are, in order
-Mille-fuille (AKA Vanilla Slice, Custard Slice, Napoleon)
-Blanmange
-Stollen
-Vanilla Flower

No idea what they could mean.

Millefeuille, (Mint) Blancmange, (Forte) Stollen and Vanilla were the names of the main characters from the original Galaxy Angel. Expect a fifth picture of raspberries soon to represent Ranpha Framboise.

As I said in the chat last night I'd personally rather they got Rune just so that I could finish it, but the original Galaxy Angel was a better show.
