So when he finally entered anime fandom in 2004, he eventually wound up being more interested in acting like Indiana Jones in a Hawaiian shirt & discovering the series, OVAs, & movies that have been lost to time. Horvath has always found more of an appreciation & interest in the stuff that everyone else ignores & forgets. She has written news and event reports, interviews Yuri creators and reviews Yuri anime, mangaand related media on her blog Okazu since 2002.

She has participated in an academic lecture series at MIT, University of Illinois, Harvard University, Kanagawa University and others. You can keep track of their ramblings on /StudyofAnime.Įrica has lectured at dozens of conventions and presented at film festivals, notably the San Francisco Lesbian and Gay Film Festival and the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. Since then, they have lectured at over 200 cons (including Anime Boston), libraries, and universities on all manners of fandom, history, culture, and folklore, and anything else that strikes their fancy, in hopes of bringing new perspectives and points of view to the appreciation of Japanese animation, and everything else associated with it. After deciding (on the road back from a con, no less) to study con culture back in 2008, they have spent the next decade of their life devoted to not only Japan (and its history, monsters, and culture) but to building their own base of knowledge from which they can draw and teach others. And they never expected their fandom to become such a huge part of their life. We have a lot of exciting panels coming up for AnimeBoston 2020 and we are excited to welcome our Featured Panelists as they wow us with their knowledge and expertise! Looking forward to hearing from them this year!Ĭharles Dunbar is a consummate fan.
