  Another year has just whizzed by us in a flash, and here we are, in the next decade! We once again have our usual events planned, like Halloween, and Anime Expo. However, we are planning a trip to Japan, and are working on producing a few fan films for the cosplay fun it brings! I hope you all continue to join us on our journey through the media of anime!

Pleased to meet you everyone, Thank You for your support. I first got interested in Anime from Astro Boy to Gigantor and then Princess Knight. Since those days Anime has gone a long way, it is fun watching all the improvements that the studios have introduced into their film making art. These improvements have influenced other countries studios and the quality of Animation has improved across the board. Can't wait to see what the future will bring.

Hey, I finally got around to updating my message!  I started life with Astro Boy and Daffy Duck, eventually wandering into the realities of Superman and Asterix.  Then  a chance meeting with Totoro and several weeks' stay at Maison Ikkoku led me out of the DC Universe and into "Akiba."  I had a great time at Kawaii-kon, this year, marveling at such a cool hobby that would turn legions of slackers like myself into avid Japanese linguists and skilled costume designers.  I love manga, anime music, karaoke and subtitling.  I'm also saving my pennies to go to Japan again next year with everyone.


Programming directors: Mari Okazaki and Saikano Otonashi

Message from Otonashi san...
Contrary to popular belief, I'm not part Portugese but part Filipino. Next, how on earth did I get to be co-programming director w/ She Who Knows All, Mari? Wow. All I do is lose a little sleep over some funny, scary, sweet, & kickass anime (& some of those all in one!). Just gotta say, thank goodness for those who share & subtitle, cuz I'd be lost otherwise!

Message from Mari...
Uh, gee, I wasn't expecting Kell to make me write something for myself.
More like, Kell pulled me away from watching Kenichi to write this, wtf?
Meh, I don't feel like writing much now. I'll think up something later >_>
For now, I'll just leave off with "Hey", "Nice ta meetcha", and "Come visit us at our meetings, we LOVE new faces!"
Cause y'know, I'd be refreshing for me to actually see people my age every now and then...
