Note: Four industry panels were scheduled at the Anime Central 2008 convention — all of them conveniently in a row on the afternoon of the convention's second day. However, two of the four sessions were canceled. According to the convention's staff, ADV, which had a small presence in the dealer's room, did not actually send anyone who would be able to run a panel. Viz canceled its appearance at Anime Central prior to the event; however, its panel was never removed from the published schedules.
