Pop culture inspires creators and artists from all over the world. Exchanging art between East and Western culture isn't entirely new. Did you know there was a Japanese Spider-Man TV show where Spidey pilots a giant robot and that there's anime interpretations of beloved Marvel characters? Join Stan Oh (Plastic Ronins), Deborah Lo (Plastic Ronins), Ramses Rivera (Ramble Pak), Eri Kagami (Scarlet Rhapsody), and Jared the Greek (Eat the Magic) as they discuss how east and west have paid homage and appreciated one another's pop culture exports.

Inspired by the similarly-named hit TV series, comedians Marcelous Sammuel (LycanNerd.com), Lemar Harris (producer, Otaku Comedy Tournament), Shelby McWeeb (Whose Line is it Anime?), Tyler McPhail (The Grand Geek Gathering), and host Ben Paddon (The Game of Rassilon) will compete in entirely improvised games of wit, cunning, prompts, and audience participation-voluntary or otherwise-all with a distinct anime flavor.
