Anime Weekend Atlanta

The third season of this magnetic series is nigh, and the fans are even more dedicated than ever. This phenomenon demands inspection. What sort of production alchemy draws adults to a show aimed at very young children? What does a fandom do when there’s no consumer goods aimed at it at all? And what does a grown anime fan do when confronted with the terrifying realization that he may like something that’s always represented the worst dreck of American animation? Join us as we examine the show’s past, present and future, and possibly argue about why Twilight Sparkle is definitely the best pony.
