Lecture 1 Schedule:

12:30 – 1:30 p.m. — Love Wins: A Yuri Recommendations Panel

I’ve been a yuri fangirl for years, and it’s been so exciting to see the yuri genre’s enormous growth over the last decade. Whether you’re only vaguely interested in the genre or already obsessed, this panel aims to introduce you to more good examples of the amazing diversity of yuri manga and light novels, from isekai yuri to horror yuri to asexual yuri and more!

1:30 – 2:00 p.m. — How well do you know your Love and Deepspace boy?

A fun interactive panel that has questionnaires and trivia about the boys and love interest in Love & Deepspace.

2:00 – 3:00 p.m. — League of Legends Jeopardy

Do you like League? Do you know League? Well come test your knowledge against these really scuffed questions.

3:00 – 4:00 p.m. — Sounds in HoYoverse

Dig into the sound, music, and VA in games

4:00 – 5:00 p.m. — Connections: The Anime Trivia Game with Undiagnosed ADHD

As time ever moves forward, “normies” are starting to infiltrate the world of anime. You’ll be listening to your Japanese show with Japanese words when, suddenly, a song from an English progressive rock band jumpscares you out of nowhere (*cough* Jojo *cough*). Well, this is the game to capitalize off of such a phenomenon. Two subjects will be presented: One from anime, the other from the “real world.” The goal is to find out exactly how they are connected. Some are straightforward. Others will be the equivalent of the Charlie Day Conspiracy meme (you know the one). Got it? No? Just don’t think too hard about it and you’ll be fine.

5:00 – 6:00 p.m. — Gacha Obscura: An Ode to those Lesser-Loved Waifus (18+)

In belated honor of Valentine’s Day, let’s talk about those gacha game characters who don’t get as much love from the greater fanbase than their higher-rarity or stronger peers, but nevertheless deserve it! Whether they’re ranked F-tier and never get used in core gameplay, or have barely double-digit amounts of fanart in their tag, or are even trapped in NPC jail, refusing to ever become playable… this interactive panel hosted by two experienced simps is your chance to come up and share just what it is you find so amazing about them! What’s more, we’ve gone and developed a special methodology to distinguish the tip of the PNG iceberg from its abyss, so you’ll never be left wondering just how normie your interests are again! (UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS SIMPLE ENTERTAINMENT AND NOT A REAL SCIENTIFIC STUDY)

6:00 – 7:00 p.m. — JDM and car culture (18+)

Car animes, mangas and JDM culture.
