After a five year hiatus due mostly to not be in the United States, I am making my triumphant return to AnimeNext in Somerset, NJ from June 12-14. I also have two panels I’ll be running alongside the Reverse Thieves’ Alain.
Precure Party
Friday 2:15pm -3:15pm BW Panel 6
We’ll be talking about the crazy enormous Precure franchise that’s now 11 years old and even more popular than Sailor Moon ever was in Japan. Whether you’ve never heard of Precure or you’re a die-hard fan, we think you’ll have a great time seeing magical girls punch monsters in the face.
Giant Robot Romance: Boy Meets Girl Meets Mecha
Sunday 11:15-12:15pm BW Panel 6
Love triangles and star-crossed lovers are a common trope of giant robot anime, but this panel focuses on the series where romance is of central importance to the story. See how love has evolved over time in the world of mecha. We’ll be featuring shows such as Macross, Aquarion, and more!
Also, I’ll definitely be at this panel if you want to chat in person
Kill la Kill, Inferno Cop, and [Redacted] with Studio TRIGGER
Saturday 9pm-11pm Panel 1
See you there! I hope we can all sing the Inferno Cop theme together. Also, if you’re cosplaying Fight Club Mako, I’ll give you a high-five.
Welcome back to ANext. Maybe there will be a chance for me to finally meet you, as I’ve more or less become acquainted with most of the notable anime bloggers of the Tri-State area at this point, but I don’t think I’ve ever met you in person.
Hope you have a fun time, too.

Actually you have, sort of! I sang along to the Hokuto no Ken theme at one of your Otakon panels.
