Anime News Report and Anime Debate

[PaladinCecil79]

What would everyone think of an anime debate panel and one that relates to news reports?

I've been doing these panels at recent conventions and it would be exciting to be able to do them at Kumoricon for the first time.

Anime News Report is a panel where people form into teams and come up with their own ideas for anime-related news reports and in Anime Debate, people debate various anime subjects.

Here are a couple of clips of these panels from previous conventions:

It kind of looks like a summary of various panels put into one... it could be fun.

Due to the time of night, I can't watch the videos now so I'm posting to keep this tabbed for me. ^^

As a former speech and debate member (HS) and former speech captain, this interests me highly.
I'm not sure how you can debate anime topics but I guess I will see when I can watch the video tomorrow.
