Title: Anime Character Archetypes and Tropes
Status: confirmed
Proposed by: Phlebas
Description:
It's been commented on that many Anime characters fall into one or more archetypes. This panel will explore what those archetypes are and how they differ from those used in 'Western' story telling. We'll discuss examples of some of the more common archetypes and why those archetypes are so prevalent in Anime. Come along and suggest how you would classify your favourite Anime characters!

Title: Sexuality in Speculative fiction
Status: confirmed
Proposed by: Phlebas
Description:
To what degree is sexuality important in speculative fiction? Is it key to the telling of the story or the setting of the world? Is it just there to add a little spice or is the speculative fiction just a back drop for romance? From openly sexual characters to monastic orders, our panellists examine the importance of sexuality in speculative fiction.
Adult themes.
