Month: October 2013

We will be continuing with our three voted anime: Kyoukai no Kanata, Kill la Kill and Nagi no Asukara. Please be respectful with regards to spoilers and noise levels; those around you are trying to focus on the anime!

The activity this week is art-themed; after returning from dinner break, we’ll be having a Digital Art Workshop hosted by two very talented members including our very own Creative Director! If you’ve always wanted to learn how to create anime-style artwork on the computer, then this is the workshop for you!

After the workshop, we’ll move on to Manga Round Robin, a game played in small groups where each member creates one panel of a manga. All skill levels are welcome- you do NOT need to be an artist to play! It’s all about fun, silliness, and absurdity; for samples of manga that we have created in the past, please see our gallery.

Right off the bat, we’ll begin with your three chosen anime! Dinner break is always a great chance to discuss with your fellow members (and executives!) about these shows, so don’t be shy!

Following dinner break will be a blast from the past: it will be our first Anime Theme Night of the year – Nostalgia! We grew up watching anime like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Beyblade, Cardcaptor Sakura, and more. What anime from our childhoods will we choose to re-watch? You’ll need to join us on Friday night to find out!

Following dinner break will be Gaming Night, an evening dedicated to video games.

If you have a Nintendo DS, bring it to join in on our Multiplayer Mario Kart team, or bring your Pokemon team to scout out new friends to battle and trade with!

Warm up your vocal cords: this week’s activity is one of the club’s all-time favorites- Karaoke Night! To ensure that everyone gets a chance to sing, we will be using a simple queuing system on the chalkboard and limiting each person to one or two songs until everyone has had a turn. All skill levels are accepted; you do NOT need to be a professional to participate! Need a partner (or partners) to sing a certain song with you? Try asking on our Facebook Group!
