I definitely have those at the top though? I'm trying to start conversations about stuff or get answers to questions I have. If anybody else wants to give updates on their stuff they are more than welcome to do so since I don't want this thread to be just my poo poo.

Anime World Order (RSS iTunes)

It's a new page, so I suppose I can remind everyone my podcast exists too! In our most recent episode, I reviewed Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma. I prefer to watch things in their entirety before reviewing them, but as this series is ongoing, I have instead watched the entire first season of the anime and read every chapter of the manga to date all so I can do a review that spoils basically nothing:

http://www.animeworldorder.com/2016/05/anime-world-order-show-147-the-sharpest-blades-use-the-tears-of-orphans-for-cleaning.html

Next stop for us is AnimeNEXT this weekend out in Atlantic City, NJ where we are guests once again. Just our luck that many of our panels are scheduled opposite other things we'd want to see, such as Guest of Honor Rei Hiroe of Black Lagoon fame, but if you attend his Q&A, there's a strong chance that the pre-written questions being asked by whomever is the moderator are ones we supplied. Then again, our questions are possibly way too awesome to make it past any sort of Japanese media representative's filter, such that they'd sooner open it to the floor of people wanting to know "how can I move to Japan and write manga like you?" rather than ask what we put down, but how tremendous would it be if a few went through? THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!

What do you do at your panels? Last time I went to an anime con was before podcasts were a big thing so I don't really know how they would go/how they're received. The one time I ran a panel it was a ton of work even though it was a free form thing, so I can't imagine how hard having what I assume a mostly organized thing is.

The one time I ran a panel it was a ton of work even though it was a free form thing, so I can't imagine how hard having what I assume a mostly organized thing is.

Podcasting panels at anime conventions are generally not something I do, since nobody knows who audio-only podcasters are if they're not already famous celebrities from TV, film, sports, comics, Youtube, etc. I may be a "guest" but nobody at anime cons really knows who I am aside from a handful; I'm no anime dub voice actor or Japanese musical act or whatever. At the last convention I went to, they did ask me to do a live recording with some of the guests I knew; the only people who showed up either already knew me or were grabbing a seat for the next thing on the schedule. That conversation was done early in the morning with no organization beforehand, which is probably why the responses people give may only be tangentially related to what was asked.

What matters is less "who I am" so much as "what I do." Most convention panels that I consider worthwhile tend to be rehearsed/semi-rehearsed lectures with audio-visual aids rather than free-form stuff, in-character performances, or things heavy on audience Q&A. The panels I do are almost uniformly "I show video clips of things and talk over/between the clips" which requires a lot of watching, encoding, ordering, taking notes where necessary, and so on as I generally don't let clips run longer than 3-5 minutes and panels are typically about an hour or two long. The majority of people do PowerPoint or Keynote presentations with video clips since those include a Presenter mode for your notes; I don't since I prefer the ability to dynamically rearrange or adjust my presentations on the fly without that being shown on the screen. Example: one panel I've got this weekend is "Great Theatrical Anime Films." This requires me to compile a list ahead of time of films I consider great, then assess what parts of the films I want to show, whether I've got a decent mix of genres and styles, if I'm making a representative pick such that I can just mention offhand "these other films, too," availability of the title (is it streaming? Disc only? Fansub only?), and such. For stuff I do, there's always far more material than time and no matter what I do, I'll catch flak for omitting something major (even if I open with "I'm not showing any Miyazaki or Ghibli, since you guys already know about that and there's an entire dedicated panel to it"). This vastly beats the alternative of not having enough material to fill the hour.

Oh ok. That makes sense. The one I did way back when was a theorycrafting panel after episode 4 of Umineko had just came on, so it was me giving a short overview of When They Cry followed by about 45 minutes of people in the room talking about things that probably weren't the case (I wouldn't know as I never started Chiru for whatever reason and also I don't remember what we talked about.)

Yours sound much better. Best thing that can be said about mine is that I brought cookies to encourage people to step up to the mic.

Only just recently expanded my podcast listening to anime casts, latest AWO was good. Glad to hear they enjoy Tekkaman Blade.

Pretty much agree with everything they said about Food Wars/Shokugeki.

I somehow disliked K-On even more, so I don't think that'll pan out either.

Megazone 23 Part 1 and 2 would be a good choice I think. There's a lot they do right and a little bit they do wrong and both movies were made by different staff and work in different t ways so there should be a lot of interesting things to say about them.

It also has a weird history with America, with people alleging that The Matrix is a ripoff of M23 and a botched attempt at making it into Robotech: the Movie.

Even if I did like them, I know for certain that doter would not. I don't want to record multiple episodes of us talking about how bad of a time we're having.

We're actually going to do a probably-pretty-long Satoshi Kon Cast about all of his movies sometime in July with a guest.

Also next week is Princess Mononoke. I'll take the (good) suggestions from you guys and put them in a strawpoll in a day or two to decide the movie we'll watch after that.

As I mentioned at the end of the episode, I made a poll with some of the suggestions in this thread for what we should choose as our next special, after Princess Mononoke.
