anime next 2014: schedules and some reading material in the meantime

This weekend is Anime NEXT over in Somerset. Both Kit and myself are scheduled to do about 4 panels apiece, not counting anything else we might choose to crash.

Friday:
Spirits, Wheels and Borrowed Gods, 1:45 Bridgewater 1 (Charles)
Troubles with Trnaslations, 3:15 Panel 2 (Kit)
We Con, Therefore We Are, 4:15, Bridgewater 1 (both…and whoever else we can bring up)

Saturday:
Gentle Strength: Utena/Madoka, 10 Panel 3 (Kit)
Real Ninjas, 2:30 Panel 1 (Charles)
Kill la Kill and the Transformation of Japan, 7 Bridgewater 1 (both)
The Heart of When They Cry, 9:45, Bridgewater 1 (Kit)

In lieu of any new rumination this week, why not take a look at some of the stuff we've been writing for other sites.
