Anime Mythology Panel at LA EigaFest

Posted by on Dec 4, 2013 in Blog

On Sunday, December 8th at 12:50pm, I’ll be presenting my Anime Mythology Panel entitled Sentai Teams: Elements and Alchemy at the LA EigaFest!

My presentation is part of a larger Anime event entitled Synergy of Man and Metal: The Evolution of Battle Armor Anime. The Anime event starts at 11am.

I’m very excited to be able to bring this panel to LA EigaFest!

My Sentai Team presentation focuses on the different superhero team structures in America and Japan, and shows how they have their roots in the different elemental systems East and West. Through exploring the notion of the elements, and applying concepts from alchemy, we discover what makes a combining robot so powerful. I conclude the presentation with a look at one of the most mythologically sophisticated sentai anime shows of all time, “Wolf’s Rain”.

Below is a trailer for my Anime Mythology presentations where you can see some footage of the Sentai presentation. If you watch closely, you’ll see slides of power ranger shows and the animated series Gatchaman! Enjoy!
