Not only am I an infrequent anime blogger, I’ve also had the pleasure of presenting panels at conventions! I’ve been presenting regularly at conventions across the US since 2015 (though I technically helped co-present a few before then). I hope to eventually transfer the content from some of these panels onto my blog in some form; but until then, here’s a list of all the ones I’ve presented.
Shout-outs to my good friend MoNgR3L, who helped me get into paneling in the first place and has co-presented several panels with me, along with many more of his own (which you can find here: https://mongr3lsmusings.wordpress.com/panel-offerings/)
Panel Recording Video Playlist
I now have recordings of some of these panels on YouTube! I’ll generally try to upload recordings of the panels that I’ve done where I don’t have to worry about copyright violations from clips. If you missed one of these panels at the con, or just want an idea of what my panels are usually like, check them out on my channel! Any panels with a video recording will have a link to the recording on that panel’s info page, but I’ve also made a playlist of all of them here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJRGJ2LHZhgUIc2yftRtODTIttxypY1nA

Panel History
Here’s a list of all the panels I presented at each convention I’ve attended. If you saw me present at a particular con and want to remember what anime I talked about there, this is an easy way to find it.
