Nekocon is proud to welcome back Charles Dunbar. He had the following words to provide us as to his appearance this year:
It was exactly ten years ago that I first got up on stage at Nekocon to present a panel. I had no idea if it would go over well, but the line outside the door scared me half to death. People interested in hearing what I had to say about mythology and anime- I had expected a dozen at best, not the 100+ that decided to spend time with me. That was where it all began, where I decided to start presenting topics on my passions, and opening doors and minds to the hidden symbols and signs behind their favorite series. Nekocon has always been there, reminding me of why I walked down this path in the first place. And while my topics have veered into directions like Japanese history, literature, tourism, and gaming, Nekocon has also welcomed those changes and expansions to my interests and horizons. Let’s make 2019 no different!
