11-12 Panel on Japanese culture context in anime: It's no surprise that anime is from Japan. With that there are definitely some moments that make you go "huh?" and "I don't understand the joke." In this presentation I’ll be clearing up all that confusion to further help American anime watchers. Why are red flowers always showing up when people die? What’s the school system like? Where’s everyone’s parents? Why is the gendered language so important? Questions like these will be answered in this fun interactive presentation!

1pm-2pm panel: Yeah. I'm from Japan Q&A This panel is a QnA with Oki Nowaki. Raised in Okinawa Japan, they moved here to NC in 2019!
