Where:
Charleston Convention Center - Panel Room 202

Is NGE really a postmodernist retelling of the Genesis creation myth; and why are all nuns in anime gun-toting eye candy? Japan’s history with Christianity is an interesting, if sordid, affair. We’ll explore how it all began, and how it turned from the West’s sacred religious imagery to vampires, demon killing teenage priests, and Jesus living with Gautama Buddha.
