            If anyone is going to live stream the J-NC panels, please link us here and even on /r/LightNovels. I wish Anime Expo did panel livestreams like some other conventions.

                      @aruseus493 I will be on the lookout for all things Arifureta though i don’t know what you could possibly be missing. as for the Live stream details it depends on connectivity in the panel, I will have a selfie stick ready for a livestream if possible.

                      Otherwise I will have a tripod stand for my iPad to record the whole thing.

                        @rahul-balaggan I know Sam got a pamphlet back at like Comiket 93 for Arifureta. He was also at the Overlap Festival which featured a lot of merch. Only thing I managed to get from that was a Yue B2 Wallscroll featuring her dressed as a waitress. (I'll take a picture later.)

                            Shouldn't Monogatari Art Exhibition be counted as well?

                              Sure, I'm up for adding anything you guys want to keep track of, especially if you have a link. =]

                              Do you know if this has more specific dates and times, or will the exhibit just be there the whole week?

                              Edit: Appears to be the whole week:

                                  I'm kind of trying to stick to light novel related stuff for the list in the OP. Do you think light novels may be announced at that event?

                                  You can definitely share any events in the comments though, especially if they end up streaming / recording them. =]

                                    @Terrence Oh the monogatari show looks cool! After not digging the first story too much I’m liking the second one way better and this exhibit should get me even more fired up.

                                      Well, this is Vertical panel, they are sharing it with Kodansha people (or that's what their twitter account said)
                                      Well, if they announce new novels, it will be at this panel since there's no other panel for Vertical inc.
