Published on Mar 2, 2016 – Hundreds of fans met with the Tremblay Bros. and Lance Falk over the course of two days in Houston, Texas for the 10th Anniversary Anime Matsuri convention for SWAT Kats Revolution. The team was warmly welcomed at the Opening Ceremony, gave some retrospective insights Friday night for a one hour panel about the making of the original show, provided commentary for two episodes, supplied some new details about SWAT Kats Revolution at Saturday’s not yet aired (but soon to be) one hour panel, an autograph session scheduled for one hour that lasted for two (and only stopped because the building was closing) and lots of time spent with fans in-between, captured in video, photos and audio soon to be posted.

Saturday morning at Anime Matsuri 2016 I stopped by the SWAT Kats booth to setup, and was greeted by numerous fans, one of whom was Scott Maulery, who might be the biggest SWAT Kats fan on planet Earth. I spoke with him about the show, and caught his impromptu breakdown of the series on camera.
