New Series Announcement Panel and Booth at Anime Expo 2022!

@BartzBB 80k and Chivalry are likely two series that there might be competition over.
Anyways, Death Daughter and Seventh I highly recommend. Great series.

Looks like Kodansha USA got 80K

Strongest Gamer: Let’s Play in Another World by Shinobu Yuki with Illustrations by Itsuwa Katou
I own the 2 Sol Press volumes and really enjoyed them, so I'll re-buy the JNC volumes to support the rescue. If it's a new translator for them the quality will probably improve too.
Let This Grieving Soul Retire! by Tsukikage with Illustrations by Rai Hebino
By the author of the sadly stalled or cancelled - Defeating the Demon Lord's a Cinch (If You've Got a Ringer), so I'm looking forward to this. I didn't buy the one volume that Sol released. by then it was clear the company was falling apart.
-
@HarmlessDave about that, the author is releasing volume 5.
-
@Rahul-Balaggan Well that sucks. I'm still happy JNC have given Sol's less known ones a chance but now the main one I wanted to be rescued is stuck with the only translation company who could end up even less reliable at releasing it than Sol were.

Just in case, vol.5 of Ringer came out a few days ago in Japan.

Thanks @Wellwisher & @Village-Idiot . Ringer is a fun and different isekai since the MC is a cynical native on a very long escort mission for the summoned hero. Hopefully Yen will put out the English version of volume 5 by early next year if not sooner.

Say, for those of us who aren't on the Discord (I don't generally join large Discords b/c they move way too fast for me), could we get the announcement pics?
My grasp on sanity remains absolute.
Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?

Wasn't aware that Redefining the META was from Hero-King's author. Will give a try once it's in prepub.
I like Redefining The Meta a lot. It's my favourite of the Sol Press titles, and I like it more than Hero King. I'm happy it got rescued!
It made me laugh several times. The main character's approach to the game is enthusiastic and narrowly focused, in an amusing way.

I agree it has a bit of a different feel to it, this is the rescue I am the happiest about. I had picked it up on Amazon, so hadn't even realised is was part of the Sol Press trouble until it disappeared :(
Hopefully these former Sol Press titles show up in the calendar soon.

Spoiler due to number of images, these are probably not in the same order they were presented at the actual panel.

@jpwong Many thanks! Any news on when the SPRLs are going to start streaming?

No info that I've seen mentioned, Quarkboy did post the following indicating 3 series are going to be retranslated from scratch, so they'll probably start streaming once all the necessary preparations are done. Hard to tell with the others since it implies they'll just be re-releasing the translations Sol put out.
For reference these are the Japanese publishers for all the Sol rescues.

I enjoyed the one volume Sol managed to release so a rescue with a fresh and likely higher quality translation team will be nice.
-
I'm super stoked for Grieving soul too. That and 80k were the sol ones I wanted to keep going the most, and they both got rescued!
-
I know it was announced at an earlier con, but I learned about the upcoming Slayers audiobooks when I stopped by the booth in the exhibit hall and am super excited. :D
(Loved the Hell Mode panel, too!)

The first Sol Press rescue makes an appearance:
Why Shouldn’t a Detestable Demon Lord Fall in Love?!It appears titles that they are not retranslating will not be available for members to read as prepubs, but will immediately be up for sale as a premium ebook and at other retailers (Kobo page is already up for this series and it's actually for sale right now.)
-
@LegitPancake I have both vols from sol already, but I'm kind of tempted to buy them again!
