Today's Anime Club Meeting January 31st

Alright this is a update on what was discussed and done today.

To learn about AMV/Fandub here is the website. Basically ask on the forums people will answer! The website also has a variety of amv's you can download for free.

Manga discussion read up on the manga Claymore at least up to the first chapter. Discussion will be offered next meeting. Access to this manga can be found on
(http://www.onemanga.com/Claymore/)

The anime that has been chosen to marathon will be Mushishi, the program will run for one or two days depending on how much time we will need to finish the series. The marathon will begin three weeks from today. There will be 30 minute breaks for lunch and 30 minutes for dinner should it be required. 10 minute bathbreaks will be placed every three episodes. The day has yet to be decided.

Group Cosplay Theme is "Bleach"! So decide on the character you'll cosplay as asap. My aunt is a international marketer she can get us tailor made costumes much cheaper than ebay etc... I'm assuming the price of a full suit costume to be 20-50$ depending on how elaborate the decorations.

Okay for you guys who like discussing anime and don't like to wait for meetings (I'm guilty of this) here is a anime discussion website about anime and anything else thats random. Sign up and have fun! There's also a extensive Role-playing system here so if you love writting stories or enjoy a good read this is the place to be. BTW the role-playing section has a tutorial where someone helps you improve grammar & syntax to make you a better role-player. Made me wish I had this instead of WRT 10.
Anime/Manga/RP website (http://www.animeleague.net/forums/)

For convenience I'm changing the meetings times to wednesdays instead of thursdays. The time will be from 7:30pm-10:00pm. No worries if your late I'm setting the time early because people tend to come late anyway. Discussion starts at 7:30pm the meeting will official begin at 8:00pm as normal in k217.

There is a brownie points being assigned to people who show up to meetings and participate in club events as of right now it's just for fun/puns.

Next Meeting Discussion Topics:
Manga Discussion
Date for Anime Marathon "Mushishi"
Cosplay Character decided or assigned
Recruiting Ideas and Assignments
If evil martians attacked the earth what would you do? Just kidding! Checking if you are reading.
Short Note on the Club Challenge

Thats it for now!

P.S. OMFG I LOVE RPING NOW MY 2nd passion for life cause i'm such a nerd d(>.<)b

Hare Hare Yukai Dance Practice

I hope everyone had a good winter vacation!

I would like for us to perform the Hare Hare Yukai Dance from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya on the Lunar Festival, Feburary 23rd 2008. I'll be hosting practice this Saturday, hopefully in the California Room for space & labtop setup if not it will be a choice between the lounge in the Tuolumne Halls or the Dancing room in the Gym, whichever is open. Of course if enough people master the Hare Hare Yukai we can move to the Lucky Star Dance, which is equally hilarious.

I'd like our next anime meeting to be on Thursday, just because it fits well with my time constraints of my schedule. It is either Thursday or Monday and I so far only know one person who has a time conflict with Thursday nights. If anyone has a problem with Thursdays and hasn't already informed me, email me at dcastro5@ucmerced.edu on what times you are available.
