WisCon Anime Panels FTW!

People!

Please sign up to be on anime panels at WisCon with me!

Every year one anime panel is suggested, not enough interest is registered, and the panel doesn't make it to the schedule. It's very sad because I think that there are tons of anime/manga series with feminist themes. It is a HUGE section of genre fiction that is not discussed in great detail at WisCon. I think that paying attention to these two media is imperative to capturing a younger audience, which overall WisCon needs assistance with.

In this year's programming database, you can both volunteer to be on a panel, and also register that you would like to SEE panel.

I am terrified to be on panels and I really don't want to do it - but after objective consideration, I can truthfully acknowledge that I probably do know more about anime than the average WisCon goer, so I have volunteered for both of them. (There's a Studio Ghibli panel as well as the panel about teamwork that I suggested, however poorly written the description is, :D)

Sign up! Do it!

Hopefully they will! Given that a manga in translation just won the Tiptree and all. ^_^
