We’re inviting questions from aspiring anime creators, animation students and young professionals around the world for an upcoming online panel discussion featuring three of the most globally influential anime creators — Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo), Justin Leach (Star Wars: Visions), and LeSean Thomas (Yasuke).
The discussion will explore how anime is evolving beyond borders: cultural exchange, creative challenges, collaboration across countries, and how the word “anime,” once rooted in Japan, has grown into a global language of storytelling.
Let us know your burning questions, and they may be featured in an upcoming panel video on YouTube — thank you for joining the conversation!
