"American Anime: Western Anime" has long been considered an oxymoron- anime is Japanese, so how can Western nations lay claim to it? But in the contemporary world, these lines blur more and more. This panel explores two different lines of thinking: inspirations that draw from anime style of Japanese visual culture, and the outright adaptation of style.

Its Astro Boy, right? That series from 1963 that brought television animation to life and would go on to start the medium we call anime. Wait, it’s NOT? This panel explores animation in Japan from 1907 to 1963, when the first commercial productions appeared, tested the boundaries of the medium, were thrown back after the war, and evolved into the landmark shows of that first groundbreaking year.
Host: Charles Dunbar
Aside from starting Japan down the road to the nation we "know" from anime and samurai movies, Medieval Japan also radically changed the idea of the sacred, turning deities into demons, and blurring the lines on what a demon even is. Enter the era of the Angry Gods, when rage was prevalent and veneration had an element of fear. This panel explores this transformation through some key divinities, and how their anger added to the tumult of the times.
