Hi there, trying to get the word out about the 2nd annual Philosophy in Anime panel! This panel will be held in PANELS 3 from 10a-NOON on MONDAY

This year will be bigger and better, with the addition of new slide-show material, two more excellent panelists, a guided case-study to help get the conversation started and a whole 2 HOURS of time slot so we can take our time discussing things without being kicked out of the room after 45 minutes ;D

Note: while this will be a long, 2 hour panel, there is no pressure to come at the start or stay the full two hours! Even the panelists are probably going to have to duck out for bathroom breaks, so don't worry, we won't be offended if you have other things you need to do.

Last year we had some great discussions about anime of all sorts. This year, we'd love some input on which shows you'd like us to watch in advance so we can talk about them better, and which shows you'd most want to see included in the presentation as examples. We aim to please! But please keep in mind that this is an all ages panel, so things that are considered hentai will probably not make it onto the presentation.

Thank you, and we are looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you at the con!

[EDIT: This panel has been given the green light! It will be held on Saturday morning from 9am-10am in Panels 3!!!]

Hi guys,

I am sure that if you are a cosplayer, you might have heard about the CONsent project or the Cosplay =/= Consent movement. I am Sushi Killer, the photographer/cosplayer who started the project and I have applied on behalf of my group to hold a panel/workshop about the issue of harassment in the cosplay community.

EDIT: This panel has been given the green light! It will be held on Saturday morning from 9am-10am in Panels 3!!!

The project only started very recently and I hadn't planned on holding a panel until a bunch of people asked me about it. That said, we will it this year at Fanime and we are preparing for it now so that we can give the best panel possible. We have planned out most of the presentation as well as the demonstrations of verbal defensive techniques but we would love some feedback before we finalize our presentation outline.

That said, what are some of the questions you would want answered? Are there any specific aspects of the issue you'd want to see emphasized?

Thanks for your time and interest!
