Just applied to a few more anime and game conventions to hold a panel at...! Here's hoping!!

Okay, my presentation for ALA is done! I've gone through and edited the script for it as well! But I have a quick question for people on here: would you rather have a panel where 90% of the time is a deeper dive into the topic with 10% time for Q&A, or 50% is the presentation and 50% is Q&A?

It's official! My panel at Animé Los Angeles 21 is going to happen!

DATE: January 09, 2026 at 03:45pm
ROOM LOCATION: Live Programming 4

Hope to see you guys there!
