Eye to Eye: All Things Anime
Reading ACTIVE
It’s always fun to make new friends and get to know each other, so let’s do just that! By playing this game of Eye to Eye, we’ll help you find fellow con-goers with your common interests. Through “speed dating” (no, not actual dating), you’ll get a chance to make new friends and chat without the awkwardness of finding mutual topics to discuss! Let’s find out - who will you meet Eye to Eye with?~

The game is simple - through “speed dating” (again, no, not actual dating!) matches, players get a chance to talk to other participants about whatever topic we, the hosts, give them to talk about. Depending on how many people attend, formation may change, but the plan is to make two large lines facing each other, 1 partner per person, These lines will rotate as the game progresses. For example, we’ll say, “What made your favorite anime become your favorite?” Players will then talk to their partner and respond to the question to each other, and once discussion time is up, players will rotate on to the next person, discussing the next prompt. This game will be a great way to get people out of their comfort zones without having to hunt down friends at Afest, and is the best way to get people active and involved - people love talking about themselves! I have also been hosting panels for nearly a year now at several different conventions, including the “Never Have I Ever” at AnimeFest last year in 2021.
