You know the drill by now. Animania screening, lack of anything else to blog about, views expressed are not the official stance but my personal ones, so on and so forth.

In bold once again for Maximum Exposure: April 7th 2007, from 1600h to 2359h. Yes, we're aware that it's the day before Easter. This may or may not cause a few problems, but que sera and all that. Admission is free, raffle tickets (to support the club) is one dollar each, and I am still tall(ish), Asian, and trying to cricketize the world one exposure to the SOS Brigade logo at a time.

Yes, it's another Animania advertisement post. The next screening is on the 10th of March 2006, from 1600h to 2359h. The next screening after this (and the last for the semester) is on April 17th. Admission is, as always, utterly and thoroughly free, and the club supports itself mostly by raffle tickets and sheer bloody-mindedness.

Once again, the views expressed in here are entirely mine, and not associated in any way, shape, or form with the official stance of the club. I'm pretty much doing this because a) every little bit of advertisement helps, and b) I'm out of ideas for blog topics.

Given a choice between this and a screencap of Hidamari Sketch with "moe~ moe~ moe~" as the sole caption, I think this counts as having relatively more substance.

I'm (currently) a member of the University of Michigan Japanese Animation Society, or Animania. Basically, what we do is hold an anime screening once a month (on Saturdays), with a special Extra-Large screening near the end of the year, usually in early November or late October, called Con Ja Nai (lit: "not a con"). We show fansubs, specifically shows that haven't been licenced in the US yet (or if their licencing announcement occurs less than a week before the screening).

Directions to get to the screening are in the website, even if I can't begin to help decipher them, since I know absolutely nothing about the roads of USA. Admission is free, and the club supports itself by selling raffle tickets at one dollar each.

So what does this have to do with this anime blog (apart from the obvious membership thing)? Well, I figured that I may as well give a quick run-through of the anime we'll be showing at our next screening. The views espoused here are entirely mine; I do not, in any way, officially represent the club. In fact, my opinions are usually in the tiny minority of the club's.

Our next screening is on the 10th of February, 2007, from 1600h to 2359h. (Further screenings are on the 10th of March and 7th of April.)
