affrecaSo apparently I think I have opinions on anime, especially Utena.
Anime & Manga: What I Read & Watched Since WisCon 35 - Fri, 4:00–5:15 pm
Emily Jiang, Cynthia Gonsalves, Me, Andy Smith
What manga have you read or reread this year? Which anime have you watched or re-watched? Any re-releases have you excited? Come listen to panelists discuss their recently seen anime and manga, and maybe get some ideas for what you'll read and watch next.
Utena: The Revolution Continues - Sat, 1:00–2:15 pm
JoSelle Vanderhooft, Jackie Lee, Jude McLaughlin, Me
Fifteen years ago, the anime series Revolutionary Girl Utena was released into the wild. Utena rapidly became the poster child for feminist anime fans in the U.S., a role that she continues to play today. This anime asks the same basic question posed by Joanna Russ' The Female Man: Do you want to be a girl or do you want to be human? It encourages us to question a society in which we cannot be both. Let's talk about RGU and its contributions to our own lives and to feminist discourse. We'll also touch on other anime series that approach the same topics, though perhaps without the same zest and creativity as RGU does.
Fairy Tales in Shoujo Anime & Manga Sun, 2:30–3:45 pm
Lisa Blauersouth, Andrea Horbinski, Jackie Lee, Megan, Me
Some works of shoujo anime or manga (works which are marketed to females 10 to 18 years old) incorporate fairy tales. What are your favorite anime or manga that use fairy tales, either Western or Japanese? Which ones take fairy tales and play with them to achieve narrative brilliance? Works such as Revolutionary Girl Utena, Princess Tutu, and Natsume Yujin-cho may be considered.
