“Surrealism in Anime” is one of my favorite panels to run. Some of the content can be humorous, some of it absolutely disturbing, but the audience reactions really make the experience for me. As usual, here’s the list of what was showed, so you can go find these excellent works and enjoy them in their entirety:

• Akira
• Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer
• Angel’s Egg
• Serial Experiments Lain
• Neon Genesis Evangelion (and End of Evangelion)
• Revolutionary Girl Utena (and Adolescence of Utena)
• Belladonna of Sadness
• Cromartie High School
• Devilman Crybaby
• Happy Machine (from Genius Party)
• Mind Game
• Cat Soup
• Kaiba
• Hells
• Nichijou
• Puella Magi Madoka Magica
• Kyousougiga
• Mawaru Penguindrum
• Bananya
• Paprika
• Pop Team Epic
• Rick and Morty

As always, feel free to send me suggestions for new content for the upcoming year. I try to nail the big, important works while showcasing some of the lesser-known things I come across, so I’m always looking for something new to warp my brain.
