Animania Classroom & Insight topics available!

Animania Festival Weekend will again be featuring a range of seminars and panels for visitors!

Along with a number of art talks and demonstrations, Animania will be bringing back its series of discussion panels/open forums - Insight. These panels/forums take a closer look at various topics in Japanese popular culture and attempts to answer those niggling questions like, what is anime really? And how is anime fandom different to other fandoms? And can anime and manga really be educational?

This year's Insight topics are diving into anime and manga as genres and/or mediums. Check out the full list of topics and speakers available now here.

There will also be the brand new series of seminars this year, the Animania Classroom!! These will focus on introducing novices out there what anime and manga are all about, what's popular and why it's different.

There will also be some special sessions on Japanese language and a closer look at Miyazaki's Spirited Away. So if you're not sure about what anime or manga really is, then come along to these sessions - all welcome! A list of all the topics that will be presented can be found here.

These talks and panels are bound to leave you wanting to learn more, so make sure to check them out and bring your learning cap!

Cheers,
Panda
