Another of our anime panels for Penguicon later this month:

Anime Witches- Fun & Fantastic
Witches have been weaving their spells in anime since the 60’s, while launching the Magical Girl genre. Whether it’s enchanting hijinks, learning their craft at a snooty school, chilling out, saving the world, or trying to end the Hundred-Years’ War in France, these witches are up for any challenge!

One of the anime panels we're doing at #Penguicon2026

Anime Robots Are People Too- the Japanese Approach.

Japan has a different attitude to robots than the West. Instead of Frankenstein and Terminator “Do not play God and create life” themes, Japanese have the Shinto/Buddhist animist idea that mountains, rivers, animals, and artificial objects have their own spirits and are non-human persons. Let’s look at some series with a different view of non-human intelligences and ethics!
