Shinichiro Watanabe will be speaking in Houston on February 11th at 6:30pm. (sorry dave & rach) I'll definately be heading down to Houston to check this out, so if anyone else wanted to come along, let me know! Wait.... you don't know who Shinichiro Watanabe is? Here's the blurb from the website to order tickets.

An Inside Look into the World of Anime, A Lecture by Anime Director, Mr. Shinichiro Watanabe

Shinichiro Watanabe is a Japanese director and writer for the famed anime series Cowboy Bebop, in addition to Samurai Champloo and The Animatrix. Cowboy Bebop was one of the first anime series to become popular in the U.S. (as well as the 1st anime on [adultswim]'s regular rotation) Feature clips of his collective work will be shown. The lecture will be conducted in Japanese with English interpreter.

For improv related purposes, the most important thing would be is that this man is an extremely solid storyteller, who has the uncanny ability to make each 30 minute episode feel like an epic short film. So it'll be utterly fascinating to hear what the man has to say!
