Actually, none of those were my favorite announcements from Anime Boston. Magical Shopping Street Abenobashi was one that made me clap.. And Digi Charat made me cheer wildly! =) As far as Azumanga, I gotta say I most likely won't be watching the dub. I *will* be watching the show though. I'd already have bought it if it wasn't one of the things I told Jennifer I wanted for my birthday, which is May 15th. So I gotta wait till then but I got a funny feeling I won't be waiting much longer than that, since I'll either buy it with $ from the folks or receive it. 
As far as the most popular series in concerned, it's still Dragon Ball and DBZ.. 5 out of the top 6 best selling DVD's have been Dragon Ball Stuff..Bloodlust is the only other thing up there.. Escaflowne movie sells well, and the new Excel Saga DVD's sell very well as they come out, but sales kinda drop off each month after the Excel Saga fans (myself included) buy the new title. So yeah, DBZ... The series that's really gotten much more popular over the past few months thanks to Cartoon Network is Inu Yasha. I don't think DBZ is in any danger of being knocked from the top slot popularity-wise but there sure were a lot of cosplayers at AB, as well as a lot of merchandise being bought/sold. There was a ton of Digi Charat merchandise as well, but I think that series is more popular with the otaku of the world rather than the mainstream fan, who most likely hasn't seen or heard of the show.
