BEST 10 TIPS!
Otakon Survival Guide Edition

The Speakeasy #055: GTO, So You Want to Run a Panel

Drink #055: GTO
So You Want to Run a Panel

We talk in-depth about panel preparations thanks to us being fully immersed in our own panels for upcoming Otakon 2014. We tackle the topic from many angles starting with the decision to run a panel, then on to submitting to a convention, then of course to the intense creation of the presentation. At the end, we also talk about troubleshooting and worst case scenarios. We hope this will be a helpful guide, but we are still learning a lot about doing panels ourselves!

S.W.A.T. Reviews: Summer 2014 Pt. 3

The premise of these reviews is simple: watch the first episode of a series and then immediately sit down to record a review mini-podcast. The reviews are five- to ten-minutes long and entirely off the cuff. As always we only review new shows (so no sequels or continuations) and try to avoid anything that just looks outright awful. These are the last batch from the new season:

Listen – First impressions of Nobunaga Concerto from Fuji TV. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – First impressions of Tokyo ESP from Xebec. It is streaming on Hulu and Funimation.
