I attended this panel and agree that it was such a fun deviation from the norm of JPN guest panels at cons! Just great energy and rapport between the panelists. The questions were also nicely on theme, though I credit that to filtering through the QR code system haha
Learned in Canna's autograph session that apparently he does Dave Grohl's JPN voiceover in some Foo Fighters/Dave Grohl documentaries (he didn't say exactly which one). |

I'm glad you liked this panel -- I was the moderator and we all enjoyed it too. You're right about the ability to filter being very useful -- it avoids repetition and rambling, though for some time I've prefaced Q&A panels with a few tips and the threat of cutting off if the question is answered in the bio, or disruptive, or dumb. That often does the trick on its own, and I'm proud of our attendees for rising to that challenge repeatedly for the panels I've hosted. But this also eliminates the "um, so um, I was wondering, wait, um, thanks for coming, um, so anyway, in this one anime you did..." time-eaters. In this case, there were about 75 questions submitted, and only a few repeats. Some were variations on a theme (specific vehicle questions, foods, music, etc.), but if we'd had time we would have had even more good ones. In fact, they were all pretty good, and I don't think more than two or three were unrelated to the topic. People ran with it and the results showed. It also helps that these guests weren't being aggressively managed by their reps -- they've both done a few cons and weren't too concerned about image or being embarrassed, and we'd had a good chat beforehand about how they wanted things to go. I'm glad Takeuchi took over the explanations of his photos, though originally they asked me to. I think having quality intepreters and responding to the audience's vibe gave him the confidence to roll with it, and both of those guys are funny behind the scenes as well. I was also tickled by the power of the give-away stickers; I had some fun stickers to hand out afterward for questions I used, and whenever I did that, people really seemed to want them! |
