Hi all, Jessi here. Now that I've had a few days to recuperate from this year's convention, I thought I'd do my (somewhat annual) reaction post. Firstly, I'm sure some of you are here for panel materials 🙂 You can find the presentation and hand-out for Shiny New Anime below: Hand OutPowerPoint Presentation Secondly, you may also be looking for the AMV contest results.

Title: Wistoria: Wand and Sword Episodes: 12 Streaming: Crunchyroll I often claim that I have very broad tastes in entertainment. I don't necessarily think that makes me special or a better consumer, but I think my experiences in sampling a large cross section of anime has allowed me to become comfortable when dabbling in many different genres. My criticisms tend to revolve more around the overuse of storytelling tropes, or the use of tropes that just rub me the wrong way.

Title: Train to the End of the World Episodes: 12 Streaming: Crunchyroll At the rate that new technologies are developed and released upon the public, it's natural to feel nervous when yet another miracle invention (which may or may not have been fully vetted by, well, anyone) appears for public consumption. Enter 7G, a communications technology that Japan tech gurus and government leaders alike hope will return the country to the technological forefront.

Title: Yatagarasu: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master Episodes: 20 Streaming: Crunchyroll I'm trying something a little different this year - right now I'm prepping for an upcoming convention, and part of that involves catching up on anime from the past year that I think I may want to include (either featured, or included on our more extensive recommendation list).
