The powers that be at Ikasucon and Matsuricon have granted me two hours to talk about Gundam Wing.
So now, what should I talk about? The panel is called "Gundam Wing for Everyone," and it's meant to be a kind of primer into the GW universe.
Here's the list of topics I've come up with so far:
- A brief Gundam franchise biography
- Available GW official media - manga, TV series, OVA
- Character intro - one slide each for the five Gundam pilots, Zechs, Treize, Une, Relena, and one slide for other assorted characters (the Doctors, Cathy, Hilde, Noin, others?)
- Where does GW fit into the Gundam franchise timeline? (discussion of what "AC" means, etc.)
- Basic spoiler-free story synopsis
- About the Fandom (why so many pairings? what do all the numbers mean? het vs. yaoi vs. yuri?)
- Current best online references for GW (Official sites, AboutGundamWing, GWingers, etc.)
- General Q&A
- Panel feedback
What do y'all think?
