Thought I'd start the thread for tokusatsu panels

I know I'm planning on an Intro to Tokusatsu panel, and our second annual Tokusatsu Tropes. I've also been made aware that members of Rajio-Nihon, as well as certain toku-podcasters, will be attending this year's ACen, so I'm thinking we'll have a meet-and-greet (of sorts) panel, or a 'what it's like to make a podcast' panel. (hint: it may sound easy, but it's not)

Will there be others who are planning on attending, or may submit their own panel?

Don't forget, I've got a photo-shoot thread going on in Gatherings so we can hopefully beat the number of tokusatsu cosplayers at Otakon this past year as well

Sweet glad yu all are coming back loved your panels.

Yay, thank you

So far, we've submitted 'Tokusatsu Tropes' for another year. We have also submitted a new panel, 'Raiding the Boys' Toybox: Girls who like Tokusatsu', since most of the time it's a bit hard finding fellow female fans of tokusatsu. Maybe it can be taken for different kinds of anime as well, the 'traditional male shows' are being watched by female fans. This new panel will also point out different aspects of how the Japanese shows are changing through the years to entice more types of viewers, esp given the fact that some Japanese mothers tend to watch the shows with their children, for example.

One other panel idea we are working on to submit is 'Making a Podcast', though we're going more for a tokusatsu bent, I don't know if other groups may submit something similar or not. We may even record a podcast at ACen, but have to see how many people can come to the panel if it is approved.

(Sorry to do reposting, but due to the schedule...)

I am happy to see quite a few panels devoted to Henshin-Tokusatsu, and not just the two I'll be doing - Raiding the Boys Toybox: Girls who like Tokusatsu (which is Friday night at 6), and Tokusatsu Tropes (Sunday morning).

There's also two panels before ours on Friday, Toku for Beginners and Advanced Toku. Around the time the con starts, there's a Kamen Rider panel. Then, around 4pm at Garage C is the Toku photo-shoot(though it looks like it happens during the Advanced Toku panel). Later that evening there's another Kamen Rider Panel (which follows my friend Cortney's panel about Anime on the Stage, which tends to have toku actors in the musicals and whatnot).

Saturday there's a staff-given panel about Godzilla, and then Sunday is the Tokusatsu Tropes panel and another Godzilla panel.

I hope we can meet a lot of fellow toku fans It's always cool to talk with everyone and learn how they like toku and what they like, as well as play with and see some of the many toys like Rings, Memories, Medals, Keys, Henshin Devices, and perhaps a Zero-Eye or two...
