Using AI for recommendations seems like a good idea. I see problems with using it for subtitles. though. In a year or two AI for subtitles might be good, but right now it might be a disaster.
The headline is misleading. So far there is mostly PR coming from Crunchyroll and no actual action, if you read the article.
Sadly, no love if you're in east India, since there doesn't seem to be an event in Kolkata (Calcutta) and the farthest east is Chennai which is pretty far south.
Demon Slayer fans might want to watch the beginning of the Aniplex Online Fest 2023 live stream recording, since it features live orchestra music and singers with lots of Demon Slayer highlights playing on the big screen in the background.

Comic Con was never great for anime/manga, but with the various strikes going on it is exceptionally bad this year. Anime/manga announcements are weak too.
I'm sure you were all itching to watch Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear... clearly the best one in the list.
Overly heavy on the dudes (only 3 of 9 are women).
Not a good sign. Also, I highly suspect Sony is involved in this and doesn't want to do as many events outside Japan, but who knows if we'll ever find out.
