<pre>
Good'ol Mike, he was treasurer for 2k3, but that stat does him no justice.
Mike has been a valuable core member of club as long as I can remember.
His taste in anime is about as old-school as it gets nowadays, but he
still goes to the weekly MNA meetings. Mike's another one of those
dinosaurs that's lingering around in SLO and helping out the crew.

Notable achievements: Discovered the current (cheaper) t-shirt maker that
club uses for its annual t-shirt design, donated loads of personal time and
money for club functions, reserved the current domain name for the club
website.

How do you spot him: Look for the guy wearing a REALLY old club shirt that
nobody else wears, more likely than not, that's Mike.

He's currently working in SLO while finishing his senior project
</pre>
--[[Nik Kamachi]], email to [[MNAMembers]], 23 Dec 2005

He's a sneaky fellow who will put up an entry on you while you're not looking.

--Eric Nakaki

Lends me amazing manga all the time. It's awesome, though I'll probably get my masters before I finish reading all of it >.< He also doesn't seem to mind me editing wiki pages at will. ~Mouse

Wesley, the god of anime. With a mal of over 1000 entries. The only thing larger than the number of anime he has seen is his AMQ game. 
He hosted the meme competition during Fall 2019 in the absence of [[Isaiah Chavez]]. Was then fired from the position

*A demigod of AMQ
*Only loses to those from the MBN server

During the [[Carona Panic]] of [[2019-2020]], he interacted more with the AMQers from Animage than he did with members of Minna.

Shawn Budwal

2021-05-06T04:33:16Z

Miyakaede: Added some links and a few minor word edits.

==Introduction==
Shawn Singh Budwal (Born November 18, 1999) is the current Secretary of Minna no Anime. He started his work as an officer as Webmaster in 2018 and served as such until 2021. He was preceded by [[Hannah Wilkins]] and succeeded by [[Tomas Ludin]]. After this, he was elected Secretary for the [[2021-2022]] school year. His notable accomplishments include extensive collaborative organizational work for club events (such as the annual Halloween Party and 30th Anniversary Party) and the complete aesthetic overhaul of the Minna no Anime website. He has received attention within the club for his idiosyncratic way of expressing himself, key phrases, and iconic quotes. He is also memorable as an openly-homosexual member of club, as well as being of Indian descent.

Shawn Budwal grew up in Folsom, California. He attended Folsom High School and entered Cal Poly San Luis Obispo as an Animal Science major in 2017, but switched to Biological Sciences in 2019 with a concentration in Wildlife Biology and Biodiversity Conservation. He joined Minna no Anime at the Halloween Party during his freshman year, and was appointed as the next Webmaster in winter quarter. While having no significant involvement with computing before his appointment, his officership has suffered no problems of consequence due to this prior inexperience. There was, however, an unrelated incident in which his moderation abilities on the Minna no Anime Discord server were removed. Despite this, he is one of the most active individuals on the platform and is a key part of social interactions, outside of an official hiatus due to mental health concerns after a falling out with other club members.

And don't you forget it <3

==Early Life & Personality==
Shawn Budwal was born in San Jose, California, on November 18th, 1999. However, his family moved to Folsom, California, a few years later and have remained there ever since. Growing up, he participated in recreational soccer, swim, and theater and was very involved in the Boy Scouts of America - where he earned the rank of Eagle Scout. If asked, he would describe his hometown of Folsom as a “bubble” and “the pinnacle of White suburbia.” He struggles with issues of self-esteem and fitting into social groups, which stem from his elementary and middle school experiences. He has described his middle school years as the worst time of his life. Budwal realized that he wasn’t heterosexual when he was a sophomore in high school, although he acknowledges that he may have started to become aware of his true sexuality at an earlier time. He currently identifies as gay, although his sexuality can be more fluid at times. At the end of the Winter 2021 quarter, he came out to his parents. Prior to this point, he had only been open about his sexuality with his friends and the MnA community. Along with this, he has been in a committed relationship with another club member since the Fall quarter of his freshman year (2017).

Budwal is 5’9” (although he claims that it depends on who measures him) with brown skin, naturally black hair, and glasses with black or clear frames. During the fall quarter of junior year, he started to experiment with dying his hair, leading to an iconic school year where he had red hair. He also wears a metal bracelet on his right wrist to signify his religious status as a Sikh. He has a self-diagnosed obsession with jackets, and lamented once about how he could not bring all of the ones he owns to his dormitory room. His favorite color is red - and it’s the color he tends to wear most.

Budwal is known for being a self-described “himbo, but not attractive… just dumb and loud.” His main strengths are his honesty, passion, and level of commitment, but he has been criticized for being overly emotional and spiteful at times. His comedy often relies on his weird and wacky charm, self-deprecation, and obscure references. Generally speaking, his bizarre speech patterns and sarcastic tone can either be entertaining or frustrating depending on the conversation. This has led to him getting into heated discussions with certain members of the club with some frequency. With that said, he is very open to personal conversations, and discloses his mental, physical, and emotional struggles in public settings with notable ease. In his words, he is “not here to lie to people, or hide anything.”

==Anime==
Introduction to Anime:

Budwal considers himself to have been deeply engaged with anime on three separate occasions before realizing his love for the medium. The first was his childhood, when he would watch whatever cartoons on TV. Some of these included anime, such as Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh!, but the first series he ever completed was Dinosaur King. However, he does not consider this to be when he became attached to anime, since these were the 4Kids localized broadcasts. His family was not subscribed to channels that aired mature series such as Adult Swim and he wasn’t even aware that these shows were categorized as anime.

The second occasion was in middle school. His school library contained several manga series, including Fruits Basket and Naruto. The former was the first manga series he ever completed, and he also watched all of the 2001 adaptation. Although he didn’t complete the latter due to a lack of volumes at the school, he did get far into the series and watched some of the anime as well. However, after engaging with these two series, he had no significant interaction with anime or manga until his high school years.

The third instance in which he became involved with anime was during his sophomore and junior years of high school. Having knowledge of the Corpse Party video game series, he watched the OVAs, but he does not attribute this to sparking his interest in anime since he does not have a positive opinion of the adaptation. After this, he completed Your Lie in April, but again, does not associate it with getting invested in anime. To him, it was Death Parade that convinced him to watch more anime. When he finished it, he thought to himself, “this seems like something that I need to get into,” in regards to anime in general. He watched more series throughout his later high school years, and started keeping up with seasonals after joining the club.

Favorite Series:

Budwal considers many different series to be among his “favorites.” However, if he were to narrow it down to his top 9 TV shows, they would be Nichijou, Mononoke, Baccano!, Haikyuu!!, the Monogatari Series, Land of the Lustrous (of which he also keeps up with the manga), 3-gatsu no Lion, Katanagatari, and Hibike! Euphonium.

However, he would include Mushishi, Death Parade, Tatami Galaxy (+ The Night is Short, Walk on Girl), Cowboy Bebop, Mob Psycho 100, Space Dandy, Mawaru Penguindrum, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Hyouka, Millennium Actress, In This Corner of the World, Paranoia Agent, Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, Durarara!!, Konosuba!, Fate, Little Witch Academia, Kill la Kill, The Count of Monte Cristo, Wolf Children, My Hero Academia, Lupin III (but edgy), And Yet the Town Moves, Hellsing Ultimate, and Haibane Renmei in his overall favorites.

He considers his favorite studios to be Kyoto Animation, BONES, Orange, and Trigger.

Miyakaede: /* What others say */ Added quote

The fool who realized why the Wasabi challenge (see [[challenges]]) was banned, just to do it again 2 quarters later. He was known for editing the wiki before becoming a scribe, which caused some annoyance for the scribe of the time. After becoming an officer, he turned into the unsleeping mod. This was due to his nocturnal sleeping habits resulting in him being the only mod on Discord late into the night. He was sometimes also seen on in the mornings due to not sleeping. Some came to wonder if he ever sleeps. Sometimes he edits the wiki during this time (like right now). He is also known for strange eating habits, such as exclusively eating instant ramen and oatmeal for 2 months during summer 2019. One meal of note contained: Top Ramen, Lemon Heads, soy sauce, and Mini-Wheats all mixed into one bowl. He ate half and then stopped his 2 month-long streak of ramen eating.

The silo

2020-10-19T06:01:12Z

Miyakaede: Updating

It's that place where we usually have meetings. It looks like a grain Silo. It is sandwiched in-between the Business and Education buildings.

On Saturday evenings, you can find a large gathering of nerds, weebs, and anime fans within its walls.

Because of COVID19, the Silo has been abandoned <s>for the time being; it will rise again one day!</s>. The last known gathering in this location was held on March 14, 2020 to watch [[Tekkon Kinkreet]] as the [[2019-2020]] Spring Quarter End of Quarter movie.

The Silo will tentatively be repopulated in [[2020-2021]] Winter Quarter, but this is still up in the air.

Self-proclaimed "Weebmaster" of the weebsite.

Loves anime OPs and EDs.

Loves using the "WUOAHW" emote.

Loves to talk about his British heritage.

Loves cake (pretty much all kinds).

Likes "cute girls doing cute things" least in terms of genres.

An exceptionally memey topic.

First documented 90% gay officer. Also self-deprecating and emotionally volatile. If you get on his bad side or irk him (technically not that difficult to do), he'll probably blow up at you and then apologize afterwards.

He was the only officer absent for the 2019-2020 Halloween party (due to attending a funeral). However, he was by far the largest contribution to making the event as smooth as it was.

Confirmed to have an alt bot user in Discord under the name of DangerNoodle nicknamed NoodleMatt.

Cheez-Its

2019-09-21T23:37:48Z

Miyakaede: /* What others say */

Cheez-Its are the delicious cheddar flavored baked snack cracker and at numerous times, a Minna President candidate. However, due to not paying their membership dues nor being a current student they were deemed ineligible.

If it was a student, it would probably be a Food Science student. Cuz that's biology for it.

==Misc. Information about Cheez-its==
Appeared in anime eyes at one point.

Has a Discord account and talks in [[Minna no Discord]] under <cheez it senpai>.

One box was under the protection of [[Corrie Brennan|Militia no Anime]] during the elections speeches of the [[2018-2019]] election season due to threats of being eaten.
*The joke was on them. Cheez-its was empty at the time, and had moved to a different shell.

==What others say==
"Cheez-Its have terrible taste in anime!" -[[Isaac Cameron]]

“Dear god, it became sentient.” -[[Omar Rosales]]

"Like I’ve been saying the whole time. The shadow president is a cheezits box!" -[[Isaiah Chavez]]

"Cheez-its can't count money. They can only run for president." - [[Brandon Dela Cruz]]

==Quotes==
"I declare my running for office."

"I shall be running for president yet again, however, this time I shall succeed."

“Unfortunately, most of my memory was lost after the [[Brandon Dela Cruz|current president]] ate a large percentage of me after he won last year’s elections as a celebratory power move.” -2019

"I don't know how cheez it biology works, it just happened to work out that way."

in room 3-213, Manga meeting 10/6

It seems we cross paths once again, Minna. The days are dwindling ever closer to that shining first day of school,
and with that, we also hurtle forward toward an even brighter star in the sky: the first meeting of Minna no Anime
2016!

Without further ado, let me introduce this year’s anime schedule:

5:10 PM: Simulcast of the Week
5:35 PM: Inari Kon Kon (Fall Quarter) / Sound! Euphonium (Winter-Spring Quarters)
6:00 PM: 10-Minute Break

9:55 PM: End of Meeting

Get-Together Meeting: Saturday 9/24, 5-10PM, Room 3-213
Tired from moving in and the first few days of school? Come take a break with us at the meeting before the real
meeting on September 24th, 5-10PM, in room 3-213! This meeting’s format will be a bit special: pick from 21 shows
to watch in club. There are only six show slots though, so choose wisely! The list of anime will be revealed at
5PM, and then members will have 30 minutes to choose what first episodes of shows will be viewed that night. From
8:05-8:30 PM, the slot right after Dinner Break, we’ll have some low-key Anime Trivia for you all, so make sure to
come back from dinner in time for the festivities!

Club Showcase: Sunday 9/25
Help Minna meet and recruit incoming students! Show off how awesome and anime we are at our booth during Week of
Welcome’s Club Showcase on Sunday, September 25th. If you’d like to help out, bring some of your anime swag to
display on the table (please keep it PG), talk about the club to interested students, or just swing on by! We’ll
have more information about the location and exact time in the coming weeks.

First Meeting with New Anime Lineup: Saturday 10/1, 5-10PM, Room 3-213
The lineup we have for this year will actually begin on Saturday, October 1st, from 5-10PM in room 3-213. The
Simulcast of the Week will be replaced with a round of Anime Eyes, a “guess the anime character!” type of game.
The image of the character will start off pixelated and slowly resolve until you can fully see the character.
Audience members shout out what character they think is on the screen! Then, starting at 5:35 PM, we’ll jump right
into the anime watching shenanigans~

Discussion Room: Saturdays 5-10PM, Room 3-114, Starting 9/24
The Discussion Room will be back for all your discussing, homework, and funtime needs in room 3-114! It runs at the
same time as the Saturday meetings, from 5-10PM. It will be available for use starting the September 24th meeting.

Minna no Manga: Thursday, 10/6, 6-10PM, Room TBD
It’s fun watching a boatload of anime on Saturdays, but sometimes we all just want to relax, play some games, and
talk with each other… about anime, of course! Minna no Anime’s social meeting, called Minna no Manga, meets on
Thursdays
from 6-10PM starting on October 6th. The room will be announced a bit closer to when school starts.

Descriptions of Shows
Want a little rundown of what we’re watching this year? Here are some “quality” descriptions I came up
with myself :^)

Simulcast of the Week
Each week, members vote online for an anime from Crunchyroll to watch during this time slot! The first
simulcast to be shown this year will be at the October 8th Saturday meeting.

Inari Kon Kon
When Inari saves an animal from falling into a river, a Shinto goddess grants her one wish as thanks. However,
wishes always come with consequences… but that doesn’t mean life can’t be fun and romantic along the way!

Sound! Euphonium
Always wanted to know how high school band was like? This anime will answer those questions while
cranking the drama up to 11—which, to be fair, was like high school band. Let’s be real here.

Mushi-shi: The Next Passage
Mysterious creatures called Mushi exist all around us, but only a few humans can see them now. This
episodic, touching show follows Ginko as he helps those affected by Mushi. Please note that this is the
second season to Mushi-shi, but due to the series’ episodic and nonlinear storytelling, you can watch either
season’s episodes in any order.

~~Mystery OVAs~~

(The officers will announce what the OVAs are closer to the end of Mushi-shi: The Next Passage.)

Yona of the Dawn
When Princess Yona is evicted from her kingdom during a coup d'état, she finds resolve to rebuild her
kingdom and take back the land that belonged to her father. Expect political intrigue, cute romance, and
fantastical magic in this 24 episode drama!

Shirobako
Just another day at the office, doing some hectic, stress-inducing work... checking an animation sequence?!
Shirobako follows a group of recent high school graduates as they navigate the tricky world of Japanese
animation and voice acting.

Ping Pong the Animation
Ping Pong the Animation is an avant-garde anime about two high schoolers, Peco and Smile, who both excel
at the sport but, due to their own personalities, struggle to understand their own levels of prowess at it. Expect
interesting, artsy ping pong-ing and a varied cast of characters. Also, real Mandarin in this, you guys. It’s real
stuff.

Hourou Musuko Wandering Son
This slice of life show delicately and beautifully follows Shuichi and Takatsuki’s lives from the beginning of 7th
grade to 9th grade as they deal with all the things that come with being a middle schooler as well as exploring
their genders and discovering their identities.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans
Child soldiers are ordered to protect the Martian noble Kudelia from harm while she visits Earth to gain
independence for her city from Earthians. In order to fully protect her, one of the squads has a special weapon
up their sleeve: the legendary Gundam Barbatos.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica
You like moe character designs? You like magical girl anime? Well, buddy, let me tell you, you’ll find both in this
anime, but at a price… a dark and twisted one. Puella Magi Madoka Magica deconstructs the magical girl anime
trope to a T and was an acclaimed hit by both Western and Eastern fans when it debuted. It’s time to make a
contract! Please be warned that content in this show may not sit well for some viewers, and so it’s in the last
time slot.

Erased
Satoru has the ability to travel slightly back in time to save the lives of others. But when someone close to him
gets killed, his ability triggers, taking him farther in time than he has ever gone: 18 years back into the body of
his elementary school self! This murder mystery thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat as Satoru tries
to solve the death of a loved one. Please be warned that content in this show may not sit well for some viewers,
and so it’s in the last time slot.

I hope this news has whet your appetite a little bit for what Minna no Anime will offer this school year. Have any
questions, comments, or concerns? Please email minna-no-anime@minnanoanime.org and we’ll get back to you!

Your faithful secretary,

Phyllis Douglas

week’s meeting will start Minna no Anime’s usual line-up schedule, though Simulcast of the Week will be replaced
with a sweet, nice round of Anime Eyes.

Home Football Game on Saturday
There’s a football game this Saturday, so if you’re driving to campus, it might be difficult to find parking. I’d
suggest coming to club earlier than usual to get primo parking! The parking lot in between the library and the
Math/Science building is usually free. Almost any other parking lot costs money though...

Club Showcase: Sunday September 25th, 7:30AM–3PM
The day after our first meeting, Club Showcase starts! If you’d like to help Minna get new members to join us for
our October 1st meeting and beyond, please meet us at the H16 Parking Lot any time from 7:30AM to 3PM. Setup
time is from 7:30AM–10AM, WOWees will show up from 10AM–1PM, and then clean-up is from 1PM to 3PM. If
you’re planning on driving stuff in, we’re allowed cars from If you’d like to help out, please wear a Minna T-shirt,
cosplay, or other anime-esque clothes. You can optionally bring anime paraphernalia to adorn our info table—
please keep it PG!

First Minna no Manga Meeting: Thursday October 6th, 6–10PM
Our first Manga meeting will be in about two weeks on October 6th, 6–10PM. The room is still TBD, so check
next week’s email for the room number!

AAAHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH FIRST MEETING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Okay, okay. I’m done with that. Yeah.
NO I’M NOT AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Okay, for realsies. I’m done. Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh. I’m
pretty excited about the line-up we got this year, you guys. It’s pretty good in my opinion, I say, as if I wasn’t
one of the officers who helped make the line-up :^)
But real talk, we have some series in there that are critically acclaimed, like Erased, Puella Magi Madoka Magica,
and Mushi-shi. And then we’ve got our mecha show of the year—lookin’ at you, Iron-Blooded Orphans... *does
a wink and double pistols*

What I’m real excited about though: Sound! Euphonium. I was in marching band for seven years of my life, and
yeah, I wasn’t playing an instrument (I spun and threw flags, rifles, and sabers), but that show is like… reliving
your band experience in high school or college. A lot of the stuff they do, like the character personalities, the
practices, the difficulty of the pieces—that’s pretty close to the real experience, I’m not gonna lie. Also,
something happens about a little over halfway through the show that Pertains to My Interests, so… hehehe…………..

One day you’ll see what I’m talking about,

will start on Wednesday.

Rant
Who knew you could throw out your back at 25-years-old. Well, at least people can buy me Goshi and bring it to
my house :^)

...Okay, I only played that card on Wednesday since it was my birthday. I’ll go to Goshi on my own when I’m better!

Thinking about the day I can order off the specials menu from Goshi again,

<pre>TL;DR MnM in room 22-210 6–10PM, vote for Simulcast of the Week, Halloween Party on Saturday 10/29 10AM–10PM

Citizens of this Earth,

It seems that our first Thursday meeting is closing in fast! Our first Minna no Manga meeting is tomorrow, Thursday
October 8th, in room 22-210 in the English building. The Thursday meetings are club’s social meetup, so from
6–10PM, enjoy card games, board games, anime, and homework (okay, you’re not really “enjoying” homework
most of the time, but you can work on it at the meeting too~), or bring some manga and share it with club members!
This is a relaxed, freeform environment where anyone can join us at anytime during those four hours. Take a
break from college and have some fun!

These emails for the Thursday meetings will be written by a different Minna no Anime officer each week — I hope
you’ll enjoy them~

Vote for the Simulcast of the Week
Coming to club on Saturday? Vote for the Simulcast of the Week, which will be shown during the 5:10–5:35
timeslot. Using the link provided, pick a show — club will play the first episode of whichever anime got the most
votes! In the following weeks, you’ll get the opportunity to vote on the next episode of the show if you like, or
you can vote on an entirely different anime. But if there are not enough votes for a particular show or episode,
it’ll drop off the list in a couple of weeks! *gasp* What will appear onscreen? Come to club this Saturday at 5PM to
find out!

Halloween Party: Saturday 10/29 from 10AM to 10PM
It’s getting a little chilly around here… It must be because the ghosts have come out to play for Halloween! And
just like the ghosts, Minna no Anime likes to celebrate the holiday with a party filled with games and prizes. Join
us on October 29th anytime from 10AM to 10PM for a day filled with contests, a quiz, games, and karaoke! Around
6PM, we’ll have pizza delivered for dinner. If you’d like more information on the schedule and what prizes and
games will be available, an email will be going out soon with the complete details! If you have any questions though,
please email us at minna-no-anime@minnanoanime.org.

Rant
Aahh, I’m so happy that The Ancient Magus’ Bride has an OVA series!
((https://www.crunchyroll.com/the-ancient-magus-bride)) The manga is so beautiful, touching, and at times scary
that I always wondered when the anime would finally air. I also really enjoyed that for the OVA, it’s the main
character’s backstory on what happened in Japan before she moved to England, which hasn’t been fully touched
on in the manga. Though, of course… I’d love to see more of England and all the magical fairies and creatures
that are in that part of the world, colored and animated to their full creepiness and beauty.

If you enjoy fantastical creatures and slow-paced but calming series, I’d really suggest reading The Ancient Magus’
Bride. I would liken it to Natsume’s Book of Friends or Mushi-shi — it’s in the same vein as those two series, but
rather than a focus on youkai or bug spirits, it focuses more on English fantasy creatures, like fairies, banshees,
dragons, and more! It can get a bit dark though, so be prepared for some scary stuff.

Wishes she could see fairies too,

<pre>TL;DR MnA in room 3-213 5–10PM, Discussion Room in 3-114, vote for Simulcast of the Week, Halloween Party 10/29

Ready for Round 2? Minna no Anime is back again this week, this time with the second episodes of shows we watched last
week! Join us tomorrow, October 8th, in room 3-213 in the Business building from 5 to 10PM for a collection of anime
that will put a smile on your face, invoke feelings of fear, anger, or possibly deep and utter despair! Upupupu~ If
there’s just too much feeling going on for you, you’re welcome to join others in the Discussion Room, located in
room 3-114 just across from the main club room. In the past, people have used that room to do homework, discuss
anime, or play games. It’s similar to club’s social meetings on Thursdays in that respect.

Starting this week is Simulcast of the Week; vote for an anime to show in club that’s currently airing in Japan or
hasn’t been shown in Minna no Anime! Whichever anime gets the most votes will have its first episode shown in
club tomorrow. Next week, you can then vote for that anime’s next episode or choose a new show — you decide!

If you’d like to catch up on last week’s episodes, Inari Kon Kon and Ping Pong the Animation are on Funimation, and
all other shows are on Crunchyroll. If you need help, email us at minna-no-anime@minnanoanime.org and we’ll provide
support!

We had a potluck at work on Wednesday. Our HR person organized the whole thing and asked a bunch of us to
bring stuff in. She wanted me to make “Anime Fried Rice” (what is that, I don’t know) and make sure that there
were anime characters in it (how do??? what????), so I just made fried rice. …Okay, I made it a little fancier than
just “fried rice”, I attempted… pineapple fried rice.

<<Picture of a hallowed out pineapple with rice in it and chunks of pineapple on top>>

It doesn’t look that bad, right? Well, I may have had… deviated from the recipe I was using… and perhaps forgotten
that I had garlic and dumped it raw on top of the rice… and there might have been a hole where the leaves
connected to the fruit… and maybe I just kept added white pepper without tasting to know when to stop adding pepper…

This rice had some kick to it, which was enjoyed by a few, but it was very difficult for me to eat it without drinking
lots of water, haha.

I am a mediocre cook who is better at making food look nice than tasting nice,

Party on Saturday 10/29 10AM–10PM

Hey y’all,

Do you ever get tired of the constant stress and deadlines of your 4–7 year journey towards educational
enlightenment and meaningful employment? Or, do you find yourself wishing one evening that you could enjoy
yourself by accomplishing nothing of significance and just unwind, only to discover that you’re missing a group of
fun people to share your lack of productivity with? Or perhaps you want to get a headstart on that big project that’s
due next week but want a change of scenery from your dorm room? No matter your circumstances, the fine folk at
Minna no Anime have the solution for you! This (and every) Thursday, we will hold a 4-hour session of socialization,
board games, card games, and more for all of you to enjoy. This lovely event that we call Minna no Manga will
happen from 6–10 PM in Room 22-210, in the English Building. I hope to see you all there!

As we mentioned in last week’s email, these midweek messages will now be brought to you by a rotating pool of
officers. Last week was Phyllis, our super sentai secretary! <<https://imgur.com/ZgdPyIr>> This week is Isaac,
the mysterious presidential persona known in some dark circles as “The Cat King”. Who could it be next week?
Only time will tell! (Pretty sure it’s gonna be the VP, Brian.)

Also, everyone going to the meeting on Saturday should be aware that there’s another soccer game this week, so
expect crowds and parking shenanigans near the stadium.

Vote for the Simulcast of the Week
As part of our normal Saturday meetings, we hand over the reigns of our anime stagecoach to our members, who
decide what to watch during our 5:10 slot. Anyone can vote, as long as they’re on the mailing list. The voting roster
typically includes the first episodes of various shows that have aired recently, so it’s a great way to check out stuff
you might be interested in. Or, if we watch something and you really like it, you can vote to watch the next
episode instead. Here’s the link.

Halloween Party: Saturday 10/29 from 10AM to 10PM
What do you do if it’s only two days until Halloween and you just can’t wait any longer to begin the festivities?
Why, you go to our anime-tastic Halloween Party! It’ll be a fun-filled 12 hours of cosplay, trivia, Anime Eyes (that
game we played Day 1), video games, karaoke, and more! There’ll even be prizes for our talented winners! Stay
tuned for more details.

Yours truly,
Isaac Cameron
Minna no Anime President

So I’m taking ARCH 551 this quarter, which is an architecture studio for master’s students. As an ARCE, I haven’t had
a studio since my first year at Cal Poly and that one was really abstract because most of us didn’t really know how
to school yet and I had no clue how structures worked. But anyways, my first schoolwork of the year was for this studio
and I was researching the history of water tanks for a presentation we had to give. Seems easy, right? Well it turns out
that not too many people really care about the history of water tanks, so finding relevant information was really difficult.
Like someone wrote a scholarly book about the Indus Valley Civilization that was hundreds of pages long and
somewhere in the middle of it they were like “Yeah, so there was this spot where there was this irrigation and there’s a
decent possibility that there was a clay water tank there”. And that was pretty much it. The only other people who cared
were the ones who had businesses selling water tanks and wanted to sound like their company was continuing some sort
of legacy, so they’d give a focused history about water tanks that would subtly bash on all the other kinds and then talk
about how they started, at which point any information afterwards was nearly worthless.

Anyways, after a couple days of me being obsessed with water tanks, my pal Curtis (the Treasurer) realized something
was wrong with me because no person should care this much about the history of such a thing, even though they’re super
interesting and elegant and vital to our success as a species. But we figured that this water tank thing would pass as soon
as I gave the presentation and I would go back to learning about some form of architecture that would leave fewer people
saying “Lol, wut?” when I tell them how I spend my afternoons. We couldn’t have been more wrong.

You see, my professors then spring a surprise field trip on us a couple days later and I go to Tiburon. There, lo and
behold, stands a giant, rusted, old steel water tank on a hilltop and now we’re apparently going to be spending the next
two quarters making it more interesting than an empty steel cylinder with a roof on top. Now my days are spent filling
soda bottles with plaster and water balloons and pretending that they’re water tanks and that I’m somehow finding the form
for this revolutionary new design we’re doing.

Anyways, it’s getting late, my roommate’s trying to sleep through the sound of my keyboard clacking away, and I
really need to take my recent forays into the sun paths that cause a water tower in Tiburon to cast shadows onto an empty
parking lot in Tiburon and then put that information into a powerpoint to present to other people who also spend way too
much time thinking about water tanks. See you all on Thursday.</pre>

===[Minna no Anime] Overlords' Saturday 10/15/16===
<pre>TL;DR MnA in room 3-213 5–10PM, Discussion Room in 3-114, soccer game this Saturday, vote for Simulcast
of the Week, Halloween Party 10/29

It’s there, in my heart, that desire to watch the entertainment that we call anime… It’s calling me!! The pain, AUGH!
It sears my body with absolute desire for crudely animated boys swinging ping pong rackets, I can see it in my
mind’s eye! RAAAUUGH another vision: a girl who can transform with an adorable phrase to save the day, too much
cuteness! So much pain in my chest... There’s only one way to relieve this pain… Minna no Anime-sama, I implore
you! Let me come to your meeting tomorrow from 5–10PM in room 3-213 on your beautiful campus at Cal Poly San
Luis Obispo! These visions, I know that they are from your current show line-up… I must see them... I’m even ready
to vote for the Simulcast of the Week — my full participation is at your beck and call!

Ah, what is that? You doubt that I will sit there for all five hours? Do not worry, O Great Ones, it will be fine! The
glorious Discussion Room in room 3-114 is still available for when I get exhausted from all these cravings for
animated cartoons.

What… what is that, Minna no Anime-sama? There is trouble this Saturday? A… a soccer game?! It… it will be all
right. I will persevere! I was able to navigate around the blocked roads in my automobile last Saturday, I can most
definitely do it again! I will follow the directions from your wonderful security force and make it safely to the
ordained meeting place.

which you have told me: Halloween Party will be on Saturday, October 29th, from 10AM to 10PM. Festivities such
as games, contests, and karaoke will be available! Minna no Anime-sama’s instructions are quite a lot to bear, so

sacred knowledge and wish to tell you gracious members, you may ask for more information by emailing me at
minna-no-anime@minnanoanime.org. Please bear with me a little longer — the reveal is close at hand!

(video games), 3-213 (dinner and after dinner contests); sign up here for games

Hello new and old members of Minna no Anime,

The pumpkins are glowing, the skeletons are dancing, and candies are spilling out of store aisles everywhere...
Halloween’s coming up, and Minna no Anime wants to celebrate it with you! This year’s Halloween Party will be
on Saturday, October 29th from 10AM to 10PM, in and around where Minna no Anime normally meets on Saturdays:
room 3-213 in the Business building. There will be games, contests, and karaoke at the party, and there’s the potential to
win prizes too! Soda and other drinks will be available throughout the party for 75¢ a pop.

You don’t have to be a member to play any of the games or contests, but if you’d like to be eligible to win prizes, please
make sure to sign up for a Minna no Anime membership before the start of the final rounds. Membership is only $5 for
a quarter or $10 for the year, so see our treasurer Curtis to join!

There are prizes for first place in each individual contest or game, but if you do well overall in all the contests or
games you participated in, you just might win our grand prize: two tickets to an anime convention of your choice.
Please note that you’ll only be able to win one of the prizes in games you’ve participated in; you’ll get the highest valued
prize that you’re eligible for.

Events
Need a breakdown of all the contests, games, and other things that are happening that day? Here are the rules and
descriptions of all the events we’re going to have!

Anime Trivia
Prove that you are the ultimate anime master! Test your mettle in Anime Trivia, a game similar to Jeopardy where there are
10 categories with five questions each. Each question has a point value, and the harder the question, the more points you
get! But guess wrong and you lose points… There will be three preliminary rounds, and those that have the most points in
those rounds go on to the finals round with 15 categories. If you’d like to sign up for a round before Halloween Party,
please fill out this form. The prize for winning Anime Trivia is a $30 Right Stuf gift certificate, so brush up on your
knowledge and come ready to win!

Anime Eyes
Think you know your anime characters? Guess the character that’s onscreen, but watch out — the image starts off super
pixelated! As time ticks down, the pixelation slowly dissolves, revealing the character. The sooner you can guess the
character, the more points you get! But if you guess wrong, you’ll lose points. There will be three preliminary rounds that last
about 20–30 minutes each, and the people that have the most points from those rounds will go on to the finals round for a
chance to win a $30 Right Stuf gift certificate. You can sign up for the round that you want to participate in using this form!

Gaming Room and Video Game Tournament
If you’re feelin’ that itch for more games, the Gaming Room is available for all your gaming needs! The Gaming Room will be in
3-114, open from 10AM to 10PM. Club won’t be able to provide the games, but if you’d like to help out, bring your video game
consoles, PCs, controllers, card games, board games, etc. to the room for everyone to enjoy! There are power outlets in the
room, but we’d suggest bringing power strips as there aren’t that many outlets.

The Video Game Tournament will be held in the Gaming Room. This year’s game is Gang Beasts! Fight to the top of the tournament
list using your silly and possibly epic melee skills, the environment, and luck! To sign up for the tournament, please fill out
this form. The tournament will start after Anime Eyes’ final round at 4:30PM, and the first place winner will receive a $15 gift
certificate to Right Stuf!

Mystery Room
Sometimes we all just need a little break, and the Mystery Room provides just that. Enjoy a nice, quiet afternoon in this
room, away from all the game noises coming from the other rooms. Or maybe do some work, play a game, or watch anime! It’s
truly a mystery, that Mystery Room. It will be open from 10AM–10PM for whatever it is you need.

Dinner Break
Get your grub on during Dinner Break! It will be held from 5:45PM–6:45PM in the Silo, room 3-213. During that time, pizza will
be available for $1 a slice, so if you don’t feel like going off-campus for food, club’s got you covered! Dinner Break will segue
right into...

Pumpkin Carving Contest
Are you the best pumpkin carver there is? Show us your latest design at this contest! Bring your pumpkin by 6:45PM and the
audience members will vote on what they think is the most awesome, coolest-looking design. Lights will be provided. If you can’t
bring your pumpkin to the party and want to enter the contest, please take two pictures of it: one in light and the other in the
dark with the pumpkin lit up. Please bring the photos with you to the party or email them to minna-no-anime@minnanoanime.org.
If you enter, you have the chance to win a $15 Right Stuf gift certificate!

Art Contest
Show off your art skills by entering one of your beautiful pieces into the art contest for the chance to win a $15 Right Stuf gift
certificate! Voting is done via popular vote from the audience. The rules:

Visual arts only.
Cosplay props or anything that is meant to be wielded/worn by a character are not allowed.
Traced artwork not allowed — it’s great for practice, but contests are all about showing off your unique skills!
Officers have the authority to disqualify entries before the contest starts.
Please submit your entry to an officer before 7PM. For physical entries, please submit the actual entry. For digital entries,
you can hand an officer the file from your USB stick or email to minna-no-anime@minnanoanime.org!

Cosplay Contest
Like wearing cosplay? Let’s see your best at the Cosplay Contest! Homemade costumes only, please. Send us a reference picture of
what you are for your cosplay so we can display it on the background during the contest — it’ll help for voting! Email the
image(s) to minna-no-anime@minnanoanime.org, or let us know who or what you’re cosplaying during the party. Voting is done by
popular vote. First place winner will take home a $30 Right Stuf gift certificate!

Karaoke
Minna no Anime has collected many anime opening and ending songs over the years, so peruse our backlog and sing your heart
out to the words on the screen! If there’s a song you don’t see on the list, let us know by filling out this form for your song
request.

Winner Announcements
At 8:15PM, the winners for the contests and games will be announced. Each game and contest has prizes for first place winners.
However, if you participate in a lot of games and do well overall, you have the chance to win our grand prizes: tickets to
conventions! The prizes are the following:

Anime Trivia (First Place): $30 Right Stuf Gift Certificate
Anime Eyes (First Place): $30 Right Stuf Gift Certificate
Cosplay Contest (First Place): $30 Right Stuf Gift Certificate
Video Game Tournament (First Place): $15 Right Stuf Gift Certificate

Grand Prize (Runner-Up): One ticket to a fandom-related convention of your choice, up to $65 in value!
Grand Prize (Overall Winner): Two tickets to a fandom-related convention of your choice, up to $130 in value!!

And there you have it! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please email minna-no-anime@minnanoanime.org and we’ll
get back to you as soon as possible.

Have a spooky scary Halloween,

Hey all you anime and manga lovers,

This is Brian Kroger your VP for Minna no Anime, and oh boy do I have a pitch for you! Has your week been long, tiring, and full
of midterms? Well, we at Minna no Anime have a solution for you! We have our patent pending (not actually) treatment ready for
you this Thursday from 6–10PM. At our lovely residence of room 22-210, we offer a variety of services that range from amusing
company, board games, anime discussion, and whatever a college student can do in a classroom that is permitted (let’s not push it
too far). So come stop on by to de-stress from you long week of work to hang out with others who share the love of anime!

Vote for the Simulcast of the Week
Every normal Saturday meeting we give the officers a break and let the members of Minna no Anime pick the first show for us. We
have dubbed this practice the “Simulcast of the Week” and it usually features anime that are running in the current season
starting with the first episode of these various shows. So if you want your voice to be heard, click on this link and vote for the
show you want to watch.

Halloween Party: Saturday 10/29 from 10AM to 10PM
The big event is almost here! So in less than 2 weeks, Minna no Anime will throw our annual Halloween Party. At this party we

who are super good at doing any of the competitions we will be having (get those competitive spirits roaring).

It’s ‘a me,

Brian Kroger

VP of Minna no Anime

Having four classes which all assign weekly homework sucks and I have little time to actually do things. Also with me juggling
prep for Halloween Party, being an RA, and school is making my time schedule a nightmare and it is eating all my time. So with
this in mind, I am going to do some more mathematical proofs before my night is over..... Do well in school kids..... (I say as I
fade off into the distance)</pre>

===[Minna no Anime] Surprising Saturday 10/22/16===
<pre>TL;DR MnA in room 3-213 5–10PM, Discussion Room in 3-114, vote for Simulcast of the Week, Halloween Party 10/29
AKA next Saturday, game sign ups here

DRIP. PLOP. THUD. DRIP. PLOP THUD. The wet footsteps are coming closer to your hiding place. Your breathing hastens and
you hurriedly put your hand over your mouth, hoping to stifle your gasping breaths of fear.

This is it, you think to yourself. You clutch your damp sweatshirt, grasping for dear life, counting off the seconds before you come
face to face with whatever it is that’s roaming the school halls. All you wanted to do was go to Minna no Anime tomorrow from 5–10PM,
but then… the Worst Event That Could Ever Happen happened. You recount in your head the events that lead up to this moment in
time, sunny memories of frolicking along at Cal Poly with nary a care in the world. And then, all of a sudden, Halloween came a week
early: The skies darkened, the undead rose from the ground, and some of your friends started turning into fiendish monsters right
before your very eyes. You’re still not sure how you’re still relatively human, but you almost wish you were a monster… because
then you wouldn’t have to think about what could have been showing at Minna no Anime tomorrow….

Tears drip down your face. It’s only the fourth week of club, you think to yourself. I even voted for the Simulcast of the Week…
I was hoping we’d get to watch the next episode of Yuri!!! on ICE but at this point, I’d be fine with anything!!!

SLAAAM!!!! THE MONSTER IS IN FRONT OF YOU. You look up.

It’s your best friend at Cal Poly. An eyeball is falling out of its socket. You look at their hands and feet, and they’re webbed
like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, slimy with algae and water. You visibly shudder and back up further into your hidey hole,
as if that would actually do anything.

The creature puts its face in front of yours. You can feel its hot, swampy breath bristling your cheeks, stinging your eyes.
It opens its mouth! THIS IS IT, YOUR LAST MOMENT ON EARTH-

“HEY.”

You stop for a moment. Is… is your turned friend… speaking to you?

“HEY. YO. WASSUP.” Your friend(?) is definitely speaking to you!

“U-uh… wa-wassup…” You unclench your body just a little bit and do a small wave. This is quite. Hmm.

“YO, DUDE, LIKE… YOU GOIN’ TO MINNA TOMORROW?”

“Uh, um, yes! Yes, I just finished voting for Simulcast a few moments ago before uh… you started walking down the halls, haha…”
Minna no Anime’s still meeting under these conditions?!

“AH YEAH MAN, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN! PRETTY EXCITED. YOU GETTIN’ READY FOR HALLOWEEN PARTY NEXT SATURDAY, TOO? I SIGNED UP FOR ALL
THE GAMES, DAWG!” Your friend points to themselves. “ISN’T THIS A SICK COSTUME? IT’S SO RADICAL. THINKIN’ THIS WILL WIN THE COSPLAY
CONTEST, YEAH!”

YOU SWEAT A LOT. “HAHA! Yeah! Definitely! Everyone else is also... dressing up for Halloween a week early too, huh? Haha! Ha!” You
feel a little dumb. Of course people don’t just turn into monsters! That’s something out of the movies, not real life.

Your friend starts laughing. It’s very different from what you remember, a very deep, hearty, slow laugh. “AH MAN, NAH, I WAS JUST
TESTING OUT THIS LITTLE BOWTIE! THINKIN’ THIS WILL BE A PRETTY GOOD COSTUME.” You realize your friend has been pointing at a
very tiny pink bow somehow haphazardly glued to their neck. Well, you think it’s the neck. You’re not 100% sure. The bow looks
like it’s threatening to fall off any moment now.

Your friend’s face suddenly gets very serious. They put their face closer to yours, their mouth looking like an endless sea of teeth.
You had let down your guard. You feel it again, the fear that had consumed you for the past day and a half. This was it, your actual
last moment on Earth...

“...I… I don’t…” You begin to tear up again… It was a nice, slightly scary conversation you had, but that moment has passed. They
put their hands on your shoulders, and the mouth grows wider, the teeth whirring with a high pitched hum and rotating ever faster.

“DUuuDeeE. WAKEeeE UppPP.”

“Wh-what?!”

WAKE UP. WAKE UP. WAKE UP. WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUP-”

BBBBRRRNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!

You wake up from your bed with a cold sweat, panting. You pick up your phone and turn off the alarm. Scrolling through your phone,
you find out that it’s October 22nd, 2016, and there will be a high of 82°F in San Luis Obispo today.

You breathe a sigh of relief. It was all fake, just a nightmare, albeit an eerily real and long one, haha. You get dressed
because your best friend’s coming over — you guys are gonna hang out before Minna meets today! It’ll be pretty fun.

The doorbell rings and you rush to open the door. Your best friend’s here, not monster-like or anything! Pretty normal, actually.
You leave your place and lock the door behind you. It’s going to be a great day, you bet on it! You recount your weird
nightmare to your friend as you both head out to the car.

As the engine roars to life, your friend laughs, a very deep, hearty, slow laugh. You stop all your movements and your face falls.
You slowly turn to look at your friend who is smiling with very sharp, pointy teeth.

“JUST ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL HALLOWEEN, MY FRIEND, AND THEN YOU’LL FINALLY WAKE UP.”

===[Minna no Manga] Halloween Party Saturday, Manga Thursday===
<pre>TL;DR Halloween Party 10 AM to 10 PM this Saturday, Manga is in 22-210 at 6 PM–10 PM this Thursday, sign
up for Halloween contests, no simulcast.

Hey folks!

Minna no Anime Treasurer Curtis Hilgenberg here, reporting in from the cool, dark confines of my bedroom. This weekend
in case you’ve forgotten, will be Minna no Anime’s Halloween Party! The party lasts from 10 AM–10 PM, with activities
throughout the day to participate in. There'll be Anime Eyes, Anime Trivia, a cosplay contest, a video game tournament, a
pumpkin carving contest, and more! This year the party will be once again in the Business Building, in 03-213 (The Silo), 03-114
(Our usual side room), 03-112, and 03-113. More details are available in the Halloween email Phyllis sent out a few days ago, or
you can check our website. If you intend to participate in Anime Eyes, Anime Trivia, or the video game tournament, you can secure
your spot by signing up here! We can't guarantee you a spot in these events as a walk-in, so be sure to sign up ahead of time!
Please note that there will be a soccer game this Saturday, so if you’re arriving later in the day you might want to allot additional
time for parking.

But before all that, Minna no Manga is this Thursday, 6–10 PM in Room 22-210. There’ll be board games and conversation and
you can hang out with many of the people who will be your bitter rivals fellow contest-goers this Saturday. You should gooooooo.

One last note, since we only mentioned it in a meeting once a few weeks ago I’d like to take my time as email writer to remind
you guys that officer meetings are open for the public. If you’d like to know when and where we’re meeting so they’re not secure
through obscurity, you can sign up at this link or at the link at the bottom of the email. Feel free to show up to get an idea of how
your elected officers operate! Please note that attending any meeting prior to this Saturday will disqualify you from Eyes/Trivia,
since we’ll be doing some last-minute touch-ups on them.

I was going to finish this with “And as always, vote for the simulcast”, but there’s no simulcast this week. So uh, remember to vote
next week! But not this week. We aren’t showing a simulcast during the Halloween Party. That’d be weird.

Catch you later!

Curtis

RANT:

The past few days for me (written Monday):

A full week of school -> Waking up before 7 AM this past Saturday to drive to Bakersfield to watch Kizumonogatari Part 2 ->
Driving back from Bakersfield in time to go to club -> club -> sleeping -> waking up in time for a morning officer meeting ->
seven hour Halloween prep meeting -> spending time after the meeting working on additional Halloween prep as well as
learning enough about basketball to not totally embarrass myself in drafting for a fantasy league I joined to help out a
friend -> doing the draft -> bad news late at night that kept me up for another few hours (don’t ask) -> waking up in time for
morning class -> feeling consistently wrung out through classes all day because of said news while trying to learn things
-> writing this email at 5 PM.

I have a quiz due Wednesday, a lab due Wednesday, homework I don’t yet understand how to do due Thursday, and a midterm
on Friday. Plus a couple of meetings of at least three or four hours each thrown in there for good measure, a workshop, oh yeah,
and my normal course load as well. Like eight days ago, I was thinking “man, I really feel like my schedule is really very empty.
Ah well, maybe it’ll get harder later.” I’m not sure whether I want to punch my previous self or thank him for not adding any
additional commitments. Apologies in advance if I’m abrupt to any of you this week, I’m currently a solid 95% on the Mob Psycho
explosion scale. Hopefully next week will be better. If I die of exhaustion this week, sing Platinum Disco at the Halloween Party
for me!</pre>

Soccer Game

Fill Out a Minna no Anime Survey
One of our members is writing an essay on Minna no Anime. Help them out by giving them some responses from the members through this survey link!

Officer Meetings Mailing List
Minna no Anime has a new mailing list! If you’d like to stay up-to-date on when the officers have a meeting, join the mailing list through this link or join using the link in the footer of this email. Please note that if there are any officer meetings today or very early tomorrow and you attend them, you may be disqualified from playing Anime Eyes and Trivia at Halloween Party if the officers are working on those games.

Announcement
I will no longer be the secretary or an officer after Halloween Party. Thank you all for reading these weird emails that I’ve written, and I wish the next secretary the best of luck!

See you at the party,

Conventions

2019-05-31T03:32:16Z

Miyakaede: /* Fanime */

Conventions are an excuse to gather in huge numbers of otaku, either purely anime fans, or mixed in with Sci-Fi nerds and gaming geeks. The largest California conventions are '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime_Expo Anime Expo]''' ('''AX''' for short) in Long Beach, and '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FanimeCon Fanime]''' in San Jose.

== Anime Expo ==
The largest anime con in the US (was growing roughly 25% per year starting in 1992 with 1,750 attendants and growing to 40,674 attendees in 2006 but has since leveled off with around 45,000 attending in 2009). Each year they pull in some amazing guests, but the lines for presentations, signings, and the dealer area are rather ridiculous. AX has developed into being THE con for industry. Most licensing companies have a presence at AX, i.e. a booth and/or panel(s) where they tend to announce their license lineup for the year. There are not as many silly panels as there are at Fanime.

==== Happenings of Importance or Interest ====
* 2001 (2002?): Paul got confused by going-straight lanes and turn-lanes, only to be pulled over by local police and have his (accidentally) uninsured car towed, extending the weekend stay through Monday.

* 2002: Super Fanboy took all the time at the Shoji Kawamori panel, asking about technical details of a nuclear reactor in Earth Girl Arjuna, ignoring the fsking fact she was able to fly and stuff. Unfortunately, the fanboy was not punched, even once.

*2006: Manga Super-team, CLAMP, and j-rock icon Mana appeared publically for the first time in the U.S. This was one of a very short list of public appearances for them. causing much fangirl-ism. [[Daniella Orihuela-Gruber]] met Mana and swears it was better than sex. She also met Crispin Freeman whom she stalked for a half an hour in the exhibt hall so that her best friend could come down and get his picture and autograph.

*2007: Also known as LineCon 2007. This was made noteworthy by the appearance of Minna No Nur Puppy on stage with the VA's from Haruhi (both English and Japanese). Also of note was the debut of S.K.I.N. in concert. This was a brief 1 year stint in Long Beach, most people didn't seem to like it there.

*2008: Next year AX is moving to the LACC. Not many people seem to be excited about this.

*2017: Club Event Organizer [[Omar Rosales]] acquired a signed illustration of Miia from Monster Musume from the mangaka Okayado. The other officers were not surprised, but disappointed nonetheless. Treasurer [[David Le]] spent all of his money on Cels and figures. Also of note is that David paid for a hotel room with other Minna members, and only spent one night in it, as he didn't leave the expo building.

== Fanime ==
The smaller of the two conventions (roughly 1/3 the size of AX, around 15,000 attendees in 2009), running in northern California since 1994. It was something of an off-shoot from AX, which originated in San Jose, but has remained smaller over the years. One of the main differences in Fanime is that it behaves more like a fan con as opposed to AX which has evolved more into an industry con. Fanime is more akin to the east coast cons such as Otakon because of this, the main difference being more silly panels and such.

==== Happenings of Importance or Interest ====
* 2006: [[Annaliese Christman|Annaliese's]] ruler of badassity. A Kamijo (of the j-rock band, Lareine) concert of much badassity as well.
* 2007: [[Andy Richardson]] and [[David Shenosky]] entered AMV's into the Fanime Music Video contest. Andy's video won the "Judge's Choice for Best Drama AMV" award. Both of their videos had previously been shown during MnA's Holloween party.
* 2008: Planned group entry into the masquerade. [[Minna no Nur Puppy]] makes a comeback!
* 2009: Minna no Nur Puppy (MnNP) enters again into the masquerade, this time cosplaying Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler).
* 2019: [[Corrie Brennan]] cosplayed in military attire (anything else would have been a shock), and had a canteen of tea as part of his cosplay. At some point, his tea swapped with grey goose. He discovered this by taking a big swig of it.

==Random Fact about Brandon==
*I really enjoy women’s fashion. In almost all games I have, I play female characters to play dress-up. I also follow Twitter pages and artists that showcase outfits, for both real life and anime characters.
*He got the job because [[Cheez-Its]] was unable to run due to not paying the fees and not being a CP student. Members are torn on whether this was a good thing or not...
*One time at [[Minna no Hangout|Hangout]], he took all the cheese off a cheese pizza, leaving a little bit of sauce and the crust.

NO! NO DUB!

2019-05-19T04:07:49Z

Miyakaede: Added instance

A mistake that usually occurs when the audio file on a DVD wasn't changed from the default. Usually results in a loud "NO!" from club members. Strength of the yell depends on how the year's membership feels about Subs VS Dubs. It can also occur on Crunchyroll when there are different version.

Note that other occurrences happened before the creation of this page, but were lost to the sea of memories. If older members recall instances, feel free to add them.

==Occurrences:==

Amusing-ish note: The Trigun episode 17 and Death Parade episode 4 incidents occurred on the same night.
The [[Death Parade]] Episodes 5 and 10 occurrences had a variant: while the dub was Japanese, there were no subs.

==Quotes:==
"Controversy broke out in the middle of the weekly Minna No Anime meeting when the club officers played one of their shows... in dub. Club attendees were not amused, as it was the second time an incident like this occurred in the past two weeks. [[Hannah Wilkins|Hannah]] is reporting live on the scene." -[[Shawn Budwal]], summarizing the [[Death Parade]] Eps. 2 incident

2015-2016 Emails

2019-05-19T03:19:09Z

Miyakaede: /* Spring 2016 */ Finished Spring Emails.

{{emailnav|2015-2016|2014-2015|2016-2017}}

== Fall 2015 ==
We are missing content for this period of time. If you have the emails for this quarter, please add them!

== Winter 2016 ==

=== [Minna no Anniversary] Jan 4 2016 Donate to the Great Anniversary of Everyone's Anime===
<pre>
It seems that we meet again, Minna. We can never truly be apart, can we? For you see, it was fate that this email
arrived in your mailbox, and I see, in the future, several more of the anniversary emails to pleasantly pop in
there, too.

Of course, you might be asking, "Who is writing the emails?" Hmmmm... Is it me? You? That other secretary who
keeps trying to kick me out but I know the password to the email account and-

AH SHOOT NOW THE COMMITTEE WILL CHANGE THE PASSWORD

Oh well. It's not a big deal. I mean, they should be thanking me for writing this one! That other secretary has
been sitting on this email for like... a month? And been playing Xenoblade Chronicles X for at least 60 hours. Jeez
What a terrible secretary. I mean, I guess it was Winter Break, but that's no excuse!! Looks like I gotta step in
and save the day, right?

So without further ado, the point of this email: Here's how you can help out with the anniversary festivities!
Sacrifice your body to the Great Festival on February 6 and 7.
The committee's asking for volunteers to help set up stuff in the rooms on Saturday and Sunday. For Saturday,
they'll need people to help set up the Trivia/Eyes buttons and helping with the cake and other fun stuff. And for
Sunday, some "special things" will need to be set up before everyone gets to the lunch, so if you want a sneak
peek into what the committee has planned... email anniversary@minnanoanime.org with your intent to volunteer!
In the email, let them know what day(s) and the time range you'll be available.

Prize Donations!
Some of you expressed interest in donating prizes for the games and events at the party. If you're still up for it,
email anniversary@minnanoanime.org with this info, yo:

description of the prize
estimated monetary value of the prize
any other special things about the prize you wanna let the committee know
Also, you'll need to mail the prize to the committee. They'll need the prizes by January 27, so email the
anniversary account to find out what address to mail the goods to!

And finally, the monetary donation information.
Still wanna help out, but just want to pass on some money instead? We have a PayPal option available as well as
mailing a check or cash to the committee! Mike Whipp will be handling the moneys this year, so PayPal him up at
paypal@castlecagliostro.com, or email anniversary@minnanoanime.org to get the address to send a check or cash to.
The money will be used to get cool stuff for the anniversary, maybe an even cooler cake than what the committee's
got planned already... and y'all are gonna LOVE THE HECK OUTTA THAT CAKE!! If you have any requests about how
the committee will spend your money, let them know via email or the PayPal message thingy.

And that's that for helping out with the anniversary. Gotta head on out - I'm currently checking out the past years
of Minna with the time machine, and maaann there's some good stuff there. Like that Tsurugi dinner where some
people drank too much soy sauce... or that secretary that wrote an email with no pants on... or sequel power
hour.... Yeah. Gonna dig up some more good stuff.

Welcome back to school, students! And here's to a good 2016 year~ 🍻</pre>

===[Minna No Manga] Where Manga Is 1/7/16===
<pre>TL;DR: Manga in 10-225, T-Shirt Contest ends January 30th, vote for the simulcast.

Greetings Everyone!

Nice to talk to you all again, it's been awhile! I was going to do a bit this quarter where I had a time machine
and was writing to you from different times in the past but my time machine's been steadfastly refusing to work (I
think I need to replace some of the cardboard) so the bit's a no-go.

As it's the beginning of the quarter, Minna no Manga will be held in a different room! We're going to be holding
Manga this quarter every Thursday in room 10-225 from 6 PM - 10 PM. That's the same building Manga was in last
quarter! Our new room not only has a roof and walls, it has desks as well! Look forward to it.

There's less than a month left in the Minna no Anime T-Shirt Contest! The final day to turn in your design is
January 30th, so if you're planning on doing a design for that it'd be a good idea to get crackin' before school
sets in. Complete rules for the contest can be found here, nothing's changed since the last time I emailed
them out.

And as always... Vote for the simulcast! (It's been so long since I got to say that :D)

Cheers!

Warning, Personal Opinions Below

Man, Aniplex USA gives the best Christmas presents. This summer, in the writeup I wrote for Dragonball Z:
Resurrection F I wrote that if enough people went to see it in theatres that maybe Kizumonogatari might show up in
American theatres as well! At the time I was thinking "haha, like Kizu would ever come out of development hell,
FML." but now Aniplex is actually doing it! Kizumonogatari Part 1 is going to be in American Theatres starting in
February! I'm fully prepared to go on a road trip to the nearest theatre that's showing it. My only regret is that
it'll probably have poor signs... Anyways though, I'm looking forward to it. I'm currently ignoring a groupwork
partner in order to type this up, so I'd better go. I'll tell you more about how things are going next time! See
you later! ex oh ex oh ex oh </pre>

===[Minna no Anime] Saturday of Saturdays 1/9/16===
<pre> TL;DR: Saturday meeting is as usual, weekend parking enforcement still nonexistent, T-shirt contest is
ongoing, vote for the simulcast.

Hello!

It was good to see those of you that were at Manga yesterday, I forgot how much I missed hanging out with y'all.
I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone else at the Saturday meeting!

Minna no Anime will be held in "The Silo" (3-213) this week as per usual, from 5:10 PM - 10 PM. I pinky swear. Oh,
and in case anyone isn't fully up to date on the riveting drama that is the Cal Poly Parking Enforcement website,
parking will not be enforced on weekends this quarter. It's still totally okay to park in the metered spots outside
the Silo, the "0:00" of the parking meter blinking vainly.

There's less than a month left in the Minna no Anime T-Shirt Contest! The final day to turn in your design is
January 30th! That's only three days after the square you undoubtedly have marked on your calendar as
"Curtis' Birthday", and it's more than two days closer than it was a week ago! Complete rules for the contest
can be found here.

And as always... Vote for the simulcast!

SCHEDULE 1/9/16

5:10 PM - Simulcast of the Week (VOTE FOR IT ABOVE)
5:35 PM - Last Exile - 10
6:00 PM - Ten Minute Break!
6:10 PM - Haikyuu!! - 10

RANT:

So at the beginning of the quarter this quarter, I had a full 16 units, with three of them being courses directly
related to my major. I decided that between the classes workload and me trying to work more this quarter I was
going to die, so I ended up dropping a class. I ended up dropping the one course that wasn't a major course,
Intro to Philosophy, which may not have been the wisest choice to drop, but it was the least interesting to me, so
w/e.

I watched Shirobako over the break, which I enjoyed immensely. It did a great job conveying all of the stress and
anxiety of working in the anime business, and I learned a lot too. The characters were all distinct and likable,
except for this one male production assistant guy, but all of the characters in-show had a problem with him as
well, so it was OK. The show used every bit of its two cours leaving no stone unturned as it examined the
production process, 10/10 would recommend to a friend, it's my new sixth favorite show. Anyways, I'm running
up on the mythical email character limit, I'll see you all lat</pre>

===[Minna no Manga] Thursday 1/13/16===
<pre>TL;DR: Manga in 53-206 (where we ended up last week), T-Shirt Contest on-going, Vote for the simulcast.

Greetings everyone!

Your friendly neighborhood MnA Secretary here, checking in before this Thursday's Manga meeting! We're going
to be in Science North, 53-206 this week. That's the same room as we were in last week! The one we ended up
in, not the one I erroneously pointed at in my email. We'll get back to Building 10 eventually, but this isn't the
week for it. Manga will be from 6 PM - 10 PM as per usual.

The Minna no Anime T-Shirt contest is ongoing! If you want your mad Photoshop skillz to be displayed on the
official Minna no Anime 2015-2016 t-shirt, there's no better way than to enter the contest! Complete rules for
the contest can be found here.

And as always... Vote for the simulcast!

===[Minna no Anniversary] Jan 15 2016 Swap Meet and Scavenger Hunt Announcement===
<pre>Hello, Minna, how are you enjoying the new year?

Scavenger Hunt is also back for this anniversary! For those who have not participated in Minna's scavenger hunt
before, this is a bit different from the norm. Using this list of items, submit pictures that fit each item's
theme. For example, let's say one of the items to find was "an old man cat". I would take a picture of a
disgruntled cat, or perhaps put cat ears on my grandfather and take a picture of that. There are prizes for best
overall, best photo, and two for judge's choice. Please note that winning entries will be selected by the
Anniversary Committee.

Rules:

Your own photos only (no plagiarism!). You may work individually, in pairs or in groups.

pixels).

photos, digital photos burned to disc, or Flashdrive/external hard drive.

Prize Categories:

Best Collection Overall - Criteria: Quantity (as many as you can or 30/30), and Execution (capturing the hunt
item's 'theme', creativity, composition, and very basic technical aspects )
Best Individual Photo - Criteria: Capturing the Theme, Creativity, and Quality (Technical and Composition)
Judge's Choice: Collection - Ex. comedic, artistic, dramatic, literal, or wacky
Judge's Choice: Individual Photo - Ex. comedic, artistic, dramatic, literal, or wacky

===[Minna no Manga] Saving Private Thursday 1/20/16===
<pre> TL;DR: Manga in 10-225, T-Shirt Contest and Scavenger Hunt deadline approaching, looking for webmaster,
Vote for the simulcast

Greetings Everyone,

Apologies for getting this out late. I had it all ready to go last night, completed the paper I was writing, and
fell asleep.

After two (2) weeks of being adrift, Minna no Manga will be in Building 10 once more! Specifically, 10-225, from
6pm- 10pm January 21st. 2016. I am inordinately proud of myself for not accidentally typing "2015"...

The Minna no Anime T-Shirt Contest is approaching its final days. In a little over a week, all of the entries
will be given to Minna at large for the purposes of voting. Currently. "all of the entries" stands at one entry. If
you're somebody who does digital art things, don't let that be the case. Submit a t-shirt design. Contest ends
January 30th, rules are here.

Also ongoing is the Minna no Anime 25th Anniversary Scavenger Hunt! Traditional scavenger hunts require you to
do things like pry license plates from the back of cars (or at least that's what Calvin and Hobbes taught me) but
Minna's is different. All you have to do is take a picture of something from this list and send it in! The fun part
is that the list requires creative interpretation. For example, the first thing on the list is "yaoi goggles". One
person might submit a photograph of a whole bunch of dudes posing in potentially suggestive ways, while another
person might papier-mâché together certain choice scenes from a manga they keep in their bottom dresser-drawer
into the shape of goggles and take a picture of that. Either one is valid! The winning entries will be selected by
the Anniversary Committee.

Rules:
Your own photos only (no plagiarism!). You may work individually, in pairs or in groups.
If submitting photos digitally, please resize your photos to no larger than 1600 x 1200 pixels (or 1200 x 1600
pixels).
Due date: January 30, 2016 at 10PM.
Non-email submissions should go to an officer at club by the due date.
Prize Categories:

Best Collection Overall - Criteria: Quantity (as many as you can or 30/30), and Execution (capturing the hunt
item's 'theme', creativity, composition, and very basic technical aspects )
Best Individual Photo - Criteria: Capturing the Theme, Creativity, and Quality (Technical and Composition)
Judge's Choice: Collection - Ex. comedic, artistic, dramatic, literal, or wacky
Judge's Choice: Individual Photo - Ex. comedic, artistic, dramatic, literal, or wacky
Accepted submissions: email anniversary@minnanoanime.org (Limit to 25mb attachments per email), printed
photos, digital photos burned to disc, or some sort of USB data storage device.

If you're potentially interested in becoming the Minna no Anime Webmaster for next school year, email our current
webmaster, Mouse, at webmaster@minnanoanime.org. If you're interested and willing to learn the technologies
that keep Minna running, send her an email!

And as always... Vote for the simulcast!

Cheers!

RANT:

Welp, I need to improve my time management skills. I'm currently pressed up against multiple deadlines, and
today was the day that I chose to convert my computer over to Windows 10. Windows 10 is currently striking me
as a version of Windows 8 that knows I don't like tiles and already has a start menu. So pretty good so far. It
seems like Microsoft is planning on phasing out Control Panel, as there's this new way to adjust settings called
"Settings". It's really modern-looking and user-friendly, and it's scary to me. Luckily Control Panel still exists,
so I can still use the same unintuitive. clunky menus I've been using in one form or another since Windows XP. Oh,
and multi-monitor support is slightly worse, since now when I move a window from one monitor to another it thinks
that I might want to Aero Snap the window to take up half of one of the screens. Luckily, I discovered I can fix
this by moving my cursor fast. Either way, I should probably stop playing with window management and get back
to the paper I have due tomorrow so I can start working on code I have due tomorrow. TTYL!</pre>

===[Minna no Anime] ONE WEEK DEADLINE 1/22/16===

webmaster, Vote for the simulcast

Greetings Everyone!

I'm typing this up with swift fingers since I slept through the time in which I normally write emails and I'm
writing this in a room with probably like 20% of the people that look at these emails (Hi guys). This Saturday we
are back to being in "The Silo" (03-213) from 5 PM - 10 PM as is custom.

Only a week left in the Minna no Anime T-Shirt contest! We still haven't received many entries, so if t-shirt art
is something that at all interests you you should do it! You'll get a free t-shirt, Minna prestige out the wazoo
and have an option for a firm handshake from me. Contest ends January 30th, rules are here.

Also ending January 30th is the Minna no Anime Anniversary Scavenger Hunt! If you like taking being creative and
silly and taking pictures of penguin drums this is the contest for you! More info can be found here if you're
interested.

If you're potentially interested in becoming the Minna no Anime Webmaster for next school year, email our current
webmaster, Mouse, at webmaster@minnanoanime.org. If you're interested and willing to learn the technologies
that keep Minna running, send her an email!

we've announced so far:

Minna no Anime Eyes
All images for Anime Eyes at this Anniversary are from series club has shown! This is actually kind of difficult,
imo. Sign up for a round here!

MnA Game: Minna no Fighting Game
(The game name is a misnomer - this is not a fighting game, haha)
Using the Trivia/Eyes buttons, fight against Minna no Anime officers of the past and present! This is a 1-button
game where you fight with 11 other people defeating bosses - have fun! Sign up for a time here, and create your
avatar for the game here (required to participate): https://www.minnalumni.org/goofanader/avatar_creator.php If
you have any problems or questions, please email anniversary@minnanoanime.org.

Anime Trivia
Members can have their own categories be put in the game! If you have an idea (or more) for a category, please
submit one here: http://goo.gl/forms/WlyW2JfGpu You can sign up for either round here. If you've submitted a
category and the committee includes in it a board, we will honor what round you can participate in and put your
category in the other round.

AMV Contest
Send us your best AMV! Email anniversary@minnanoanime.org with your entry. Must be under 4 minutes and
PG-13 or less.

Officer Trivia Finals
Coming back from this year's Halloween Party, certain past officers of Minna no Anime challenge the current
officers with a crazy, anything goes Anime Trivia round! This will be the conclusion of this series... for now.

Video Game Room
Like in past Halloween Parties, bring your video game equipment and make this room lively! Play lots of games to
your heart's desire. Please bring your own power strips though - we will not be able to provide for these :( If
you've got old systems and games, see if you can bring those with you to go along with the time theme! Like, if
you've got a Super Famicom with the Sailor Moon fighting game on it, that would be really awesome!!!!! *drools a
little bit*

Do Stuff Room/Side Room
Need a break from everything that's going on? Wanna do some homework? Need a quiet place to chat? Then this is
the room for you! In the past, it's been used as a makeup room, break room, candy room... quite a few things,
actually. If you need a room, here is the room for you!

Dinner Break
There will be free pizza available: 2 slices per attendee. There will also be two cakes, one that's chocolate
and one that's white cake. Hopefully there should be enough, considering we bought two cakes!!

Awards Ceremony
There are 1st and 2nd place prizes available for Anime Trivia, Anime Eyes, AMV Contest and Scavenger Hunt. We'll
show off AMV Contest entries, which will be voted by popular vote, and we'll also show off scavenger hunt entries,
which will be voted by the committee. The prizes themselves are a secret, hehe~ BUT! They are definitely VERY
exclusive to this Anniversary. If you'd like to snag one, sign up for something or submit some stuff!

Movies: Millennium Actress and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
The times above are when they're starting, but they'll be ending before their designated end times.

And I'm out. Whew, this was a big email... And now, to reveal who wrote all these emails:

IT WAS ME, PHILLY!
I wrote as both secretaries. Thank you for putting up with my silly roleplay, I hope you enjoyed it as much as
I did.

AND NOW, TO THE FUTURE! OF THE ANNIVERSARY!!! *steps into the time machine, pulling goggles over eyes, a
big grin on her face*

Love,
Minna no Anime's 25th Anniversary Committee</pre>

===[Minna no Manga] Designated T-Shirt Contest Work Time 1/28/16===
<pre>TL;DR T-SHIRT CONTEST AND SCAVENGER HUNT END SATURDAY, Manga is as usual, We're still recruiting
for webmaster, Vote for the simulcast.

Greetings Everyone!

Minna no Manga is in 10-225 from 6 PM - 10 PM this week in the Agriculture Building. Luckily for the prospects of
avoiding mass migration of Minna-ers (Minna members? Minna?), it's the the same room we were in last week and
the week before! There's an official reservation on the room too, so we don't need to pretend to be members of
the Cal Poly Crochet and Badminton club or anything!

The deadline for the T-Shirt contest is right on top of us! If you've ever wanted a free t-shirt of your own
design, or just wanted to have your work in a contest (Contests are exciting, wow!) then you should enter! All
entries are due by the beginning of club this Saturday, January 30th! Contest rules can be found here!

The deadline for the Minna-no-Anniversary-Scavenger-Hunt-contest-amabob is, incidentally, also right on top of
us. If you've ever wanted to take a picture of a "spicy wolf" or a "slice of life" and get awarded for it, you're
rapidly running out of time.All entries are due by 10 PM this Saturday, January 30th! Incidentally, I do not
recommend trying to complete this between the start and end of clubt. That way lies madness. Contest rules can
be found here!

If you're interested in becoming Minna's webmaster for next year, email Mouse @ webmaster@minnanoanime.org
for more details. The Minna Officership could use an individual like you. Someone who reads the emails. You're
the best kind of person.

And as always... Vote for the simulcast!

Cheers!

RANT:

WOOOH 21st Birthday! I'm going to have fun getting drunk tonight! I mean, one gin and tonic that my parents sent
me through the post counts as getting drunk, right? And catching up on the mountains of classwork I'm behind
on counts as fun... right? Yeah. Of course it does, how silly of me. I should get back to having all that fun. Yay.
Woo hoo. Hopefully if I do this I can get my work done before Friday night so I can go out with friends. Welp, the
due date of my work is before Saturday so I'll get to see y'all then for sure. Just get all your work done. I know
I'm not the only one with a procrastination problem... See you on the other side of the due date!</pre>

===[Minna No Anime] Belatedly Sent Saturday 1/30/16===
<pre>TL;DR: Minna no Anime as per usual. T-Shirt Contest and Scavenger Hunt in final hours. Webmaster
applications still open. Vote for the simulcast!

Greetings Everyone!

Minna no Anime will be in "the Silo" 03-213 this Saturday from 5 PM - 10 PM tonight, as per usual. Events will
include watching anime (including the simulcast you vote for!), as well as a dinner break containing the
presentation of the entries for the T-Shirt Contest!

T-shirt contest entries are due at 5:10 PM Saturday as an attachment or link in an email sent to
minna-no-anime@minnanoanime.org. If you possessed of an internet connection that stubbornly refuses to
upload your (PSD formatted) entry, you can hand it to an officer on a USB key. But it's ever so much tidier if you
can email it. You get a t-shirt if your design gets chosen, so submit your design if that sounds pretty nifty! The
rules for the contest can be found here.

As for the T-Shirt Contest presentation for those of us that who have submitted entries, it'll consist of the
officers showing each design in turn up on the big screen in "The Silo" at the beginning of dinner break. The
artist of each entry will be invited to get up in front of someone and say a few words about their particular
design if they want to, so it might not be a bad idea to think of something to say about your entry. Voting on the
t-shirt contest will be done via the internet, we'll be sending out an email to all paid members with a link to the
voting some time next week.

The Scavenger Hunt for Minna no Anniversary is also ending Saturday, this one ending at 10 PM. Rules for the
contest are here. I'm looking forward to some entertaining pictures from this one!

Applications to the position of next year's official Minna no Anime Webmaster are still open! Message Mouse at

===[Minna no Manga] Mysterious Thursday X 2/4/16===
<pre>TL;DR: Manga as usual, Anniverary Party this weekend (WOOH), T-shirt voting, Read the Anniversary
email, looking for webmaster.

Greetings Everyone!

Anniversary Party is this weekend *hype* but before that it's THURSDAY! Minna no Manga will once again be in
10-225 from 6 PM - 10 PM. If your criteria for hanging out with someone includes a love of Japanese cartoons,
it's statistically one of the better places and times to make and keep friends, so if that's something that
interests you you should come. We'll be there the whole time and not nip off an hour early to eat Taco Bell this
time, honest.

T-shirt Contest Voting is on-going! The voting system was out of whack for a few minutes after I sent the email
alerting y'all to the opening of the voting, but it's fully functional now for your voting pleasure (Thanks Mike!).
We've got eight excellent entries this year, so your votes matter more than ever! To vote on the shirts, go to this
link! Note that you must be a paid member in order to vote, and you need a Minna no Anime forum account. If
you're a paid member and don't yet have a forum account, you can get one here.

If you want your opinion to be counted for the t-shirt contest, you can always become a paid member! Talk to MnA
Treasurer Eric Oatey. Membership dues are $5 for the quarter or $10 for the year, and get you access not only to
t-shirt voting, but also a $5 T-shirt Discount, officer voting, and prize drawing eligibility.

If you're interested in becoming next year's MnA webmaster, shoot a message to Mouse at
webmaster@minnanoanime.org. We won't expect you to know the technologies we use right now, but we will
expect you to learn them.

I would say vote for the simulcast but since there's no real Minna no Anime this weekend ('cause of the Anniversary
meeting, I can't). so READ THE ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE EMAIL AND DO THEIR THINGS CAUSE FUN.

See y'all later,

Curtis Hilgenberg

Rant:
WARNING PERSONAL OPINIONS BELOW

Ya see, I was going to be on top of getting this out early and doing my homework in a reasonable amount of time,
but then I ended up reading an entire Discworld novel and then I got hooked on reading Mysterious Girlfriend X.
It's definitely a lot better in manga form than it was in anime, a lot of it revolves around this spit exchange
tradition this dude has with his GF, and the anime makes it really gratuitous. I think they were going for the
whole Nisemonogatari thing of "just because this isn't really a typical display of physical intimacy doesn't mean
it's not incredibly uh-'interesting' to the characters, so we're going to show off that intimacy with lovingly
directed camera angles", but they did a worse job of it. In the manga, it's a lot easier to ignore the somewhat
squicky nature of the gimmick and get to the feelings that the characters are getting out of them, so that's neat.
I'm looking forward to reading more of it, which I'll probably do between finishing this email and starting back up
work on my homework because I have little self-control. I'm going to get back to it, see y'all when I see you!</pre>

===[Minna no Anime] Dia de las camisetas 2/13/16===
<pre>TL;DR: New shows, Vote for T-shirts, Minna in the Silo, Vote for the simulcast!

Greetings Everyone!

Minna no Anime will be in room 03-213, "The Silo" this week, as per usual. I'm actually putting the room number
this time because this week we're starting two new shows this week. Noragami and Barakamon! If you missed the
first meeting and have been kicking yourself for it ever since, here's a good place to jump back on! Don't worry if
you aren't caught up on the other shows, there're people in the side room for just about every show to hang with
and talk about anime n' stuff.

This is the last email I'm going to be sending before the end of the t-shirt contest, so if you haven't voted for
that already you should do so! I'm talking to you, Curtis! *looks angrily at self* The contest is ending Saturday
@ 7 PM, right smack dab in the middle of club. If you're a paid member, you can vote at this link! Note that you'll
need a forum account to vote, which you can get here.

If you wish to become a paid member so you can vote for t-shirts and vote for officers and get a $5 t-shirt
discount and be eligible for prize drawings and most importantly support club, talk to MnA VP Justin Caballes at
this Saturday's meeting. Or maybe the President. Whoever is official looking and has a cash box to take your
membership fee. If you're in doubt and the house lights are up, just shout at someone standing in the front of the
room, they'll probably know.

If you're interested in becoming next year's MnA webmaster, shoot a message to Mouse at

First of all, apologies to my roommate Kevin for typing this while he's napping. I have a mechanical keyboard for
my desktop and have no doubt his dreams are being plagued by clickety-clacks. I've been reading a lot of
Discworld, which is fun, but always reminds me that Death took Terry Pratchett (the author) from us, which is
saddening. I'd definitely highly recommend the books though, they're definitely the best comedic fantasy novels
I've ever read, and there's like 45 of them with several different protagonists, which is great. I'm particularly
fond of Sam Vimes and Moist Von Lipwig, but even as I type their names I'm being reminded of other protagonists
which I also like. Oh, my laptop got stolen since I last ranted, which is unfortunate, but as I am a comp sci
student, I have a new laptop on the way, which is nice. I'm going to see Deadpool tonight, which should hopefully
be good. It has Inara from Firefly in it and Ryan Reynolds in what he seems to think is the role of his life, so
fingers are crossed. I had several tests this week, one of which I did quite well on and the other two of which I
maybe probably did OK on. I Leagued some Legends (summoner name: StrollingFellow) as well which was fun, and
had an excellent discussion on the morality of a super power that allows you to find the path to victory over any
challenge you frame it. Overall, a good week. Anyways, gotta go get dinner with peeps, I'll talk to y'all later!</pre>

===[Minna no Manga] Info-Dense Thursday 2/18/16===
<pre>TL;DR: Manga as usual, Tiger & Bunny during Dinner Break, Officer Elections Applications open, T-shirt
winner announced, Vote for the simulcast.

Hey folks,

Everyone have a nice three day weekend? I know I did. Sorry for getting this email out late, my schedule has been
thrown out of wack by the weirdness. Due to the fact that I'm writing this roughly 24 hours after my optimal time
to be writing this email, it'll be lacking on prose and rich in content. And boy, there is a lot of it.

Minna no Manga will once again be in 10-225 from 6 - 10 pm. I heard there were new people there last time,
which is awesome. Hopefully y'all stick around.

Due to Minna no Technical Difficulties @ last week's Saturday meeting, we were unable to show Tiger & Bunny
Episode 14. This week, we'll be showing it during the latter half of our Dinner Break so as to keep with our
schedule. We've successfully retrieved the disc out of the blu-ray player, which makes doing so a whole lot more
possible.

We're opening up submissions for the Minna no Anime 2016-2017 Officership! If you want to be someone who is
all responsible and important and works behind the scenes to choose the shows for the year to keep Minna
running, look here for more details.

We're still getting stuff ready behind the scenes for T-shirt ordering. For those of you not present during the
dinner break @ last week's meeting, the t-shirt contest winner is Paul Guzman, with this wonderful design.
Shout-outs to Paul for his excellent design!

And as always... Vote for the simulcast!

winner announced, Vote for the simulcast.

Hey all!

Seems like just yesterday that I was typing up an email with basically the same information as this one for
y'all...

Minna no Anime will be in "The Silo" this week from 5 pm - 10 pm as per usual. The only thing particularly unusual
about this week's meeting is that there's a special bonus (read: last week's) episode of Tiger and Bunny being
shown during dinner break, at 7:40 pm. Be sure to come back early if you want to stay caught up on the show!

Wooh New Laptop! I forgot if I told you guys in this that car got broken into and my laptop bag was stolen, but
it's fine now, I got a new window and a new laptop and besides the fact that the month was expensive af because of
it everything is basically back to normal. I didn't realize how many things I was carrying in my bag until I lost
them all though... Work is going well, only one of my classes isn't going well, and errything is going pretty
good right now. I'm even having fun when I play League of Legends, which has traditionally been rare. WOOH ACTUALLY
FEELING GOOD FOR ONCE!</pre>

===[Minna no Anime] Death, Taxes, and the VP watching anime 2/25/16===
<pre>TL;DR: Manga as usual. Anime in Fisher Science. T-shirt Opening Open. March 12th deadline for t-shirt
ordering and officer speeches. Vote for the simulcast.

Hey froods!

Minna no Manga is going to be in the same room as usual this Thursday, 10-225 from 6 pm - 10 pm, barring an
act of god. I've done my best to avoid pissing off Loki this week, so we should be fine!

Minna no Anime, on the other hand, will be in Fisher Science for the next two Saturdays. Building 33 Room 286
for those of you who forget.

We're open for statements of candidacy for the 2016-2017 Minna Officeship! If you want to be someone who is
all responsible and important and works behind the scenes to choose the shows for the year to keep Minna
running, look here for more details. If you're even mostly kinda interested, you should give it a shot! It's worth
it, or your money back. The deadline is March 12th, the 122nd anniversary of the first sold bottle of Coca-Cola.

T-shirt ordering is now open! Here's the link. Note that you need a forum account to buy a shirt. If you want a
T-shirt or a sweatshirt with this beautiful logo on it, you should get one! T-shirt ordering (also) ends March
12th, so time is limited! Be prepared to give cash to the treasurer for the amount you owe at the next meeting! The
webpage is lying to you about the shirt deadline, believe the email.

Greetings all,

Minna no Anime will be in Fisher Science this Saturday, Building 33 Room 286, from 5 pm - 10 pm. If you show
up at the Silo, be aware that the people who will be inside are not shape-shifted versions of the usual crowd, but
rather a different group of people entirely.

===Goshi Dinner signups open! Feb 28 2016===
<pre>Heya folks!

Minna no Anime's quarterly end-of-the-quarter Goshi Dinner is coming up in just two weeks time, Sunday March
13 @ 7:00 PM! In order to give the good people over at Goshi Japanese Restaurant time to schedule shifts and
generally prepare for the arrival of a back room full of Minna people, we need orders from you by end of club this
Saturday! That's right, if you want to order some delicious Japanese cuisine to eat amongst fine company, you'll
need to order it by 10 PM on Saturday, March 5th. Signup link is here.

Payment is due to MnA treasurer Eric Oatey by Saturday, March 12. He's the guy with the cash box at any Minna
no Anime or Minna no Manga meeting. If you cannot make it to club during that time but still want to go to Goshi,
contact Eric @ treasurer@minnanoanime.org.</pre>

===[Minna no Manga] Manga 3: The Search for Thursday 3/3/16===
<pre>TL;DR: Manga as usual, Goshi Orders by Saturday, Anime in Fisher Science. Approaching Deadline on
Officer applications and T-shirts, Vote for the simulcast.

Yo!

This is an action-packed week over at Minna no Anime headquarters. I've got to make sure I tell you that Minna
no Anime will once again be in Fisher Science this Saturday. We're in Building 33 Room 286, from 5 pm - 10 pm,
just like last week. Minna no Manga will be where it was last week as well,10-225 from 6 pm - 10 pm. Well, it'll
actually be several thousand miles away from where it was last week due to the movement of the Earth, but in
order for society to function we ignore that fact in conversation. Only the extremely pedantic point it out.
*glares at self*

I've got to remember to remind you that if you're interested in going to our End-of-Quarter-Goshi-Dinner, that
orders are due here by end of club this Saturday, March 5th. That it'll have laughter and warmth and friends and
tasty Japanese cuisine. And that payment is due to MnA treasurer Eric Oatey by Saturday, March 12.

Also worth reminding you about are the other two March 12th deadlines, namely the Officer Elections Application,
and the T-shirt ordering for our ever-so-beautiful member-generated design. Being an officer is pretty nifty, and
all the cool cats wear the club t-shirts, so those are things you should look into.

Note that for both the Goshi's ordering and T-shirt ordering you'll need a MnA forum account, which you can get
here.

And as always... Vote for the simulcast!

Cheers!

Going to LA to watch Kizu was pretty fun. I went with our esteemed MnA president Isaac Cameron and former
MnA 25th Anniversary Committee member Evan "Jojo Evan" Kirkbride, who were good company and allowed me
to pressure them into going to Shin Sen Gumi for excellent ramen after the show. We unexpectedly saw Megan
there, who appeared mysteriously just in time for the movie and who I immediately lost track of post-film. The
movie was really good, I would write up all of my feelings but I agree with literally everything said in this
review by my favorite anime reviewer. typically found over at his blog WrongEverytime (I'd link it, but the more
links I have the more likely this email is to go to your spam filter. I also picked up a little Asada-san figure
(from SAO) and a Ayase (from oreimo). Ayase is currently undergoing a trial run of living on my keys, I think she's
staying, but I haven't gotten a funny look from having her on there yet. Other than that, I've just been
procrastinating a lot, and keeping my mental health up. Anyways, I'mma go play league with Elliott, catch you
guys later!</pre>

Hey all!

This Saturday, Minna is once again in Fisher Science! We're in Building 33 Room 286, from 5 pm - 10 pm, just like
last week. I'm pretty excited, actually. Finding the best seat in Fisher is a somewhat arbitrary and complicated
process, and it entertains me immensely.

Saturday, March 5th is the ordering deadline for the End-of-Quarter-Goshi-Dinner! If the eating of tasty
Japanese food with friends is something that interests you, you can sign up for it here. Payment for Goshi's is
due to MnA treasurer Eric Oatey by Saturday, March 12.

It's also worth reminding you about the other two March 12th deadlines, namely the Officer Elections Application
to be an officer for next year, and the T-shirt ordering.

Note that for both the Goshi's ordering and T-shirt ordering you'll need a MnA forum account, which you can get

===[Minna no Manga] Thursday Before the (Deadline) Storm===
<pre>TL;DR: Manga as Usual, Officer Applications due soon, Order a T-shirt, Pay for Goshi, Apply for
Webmaster, Vote for the simulcast!

Hey all~

Included the "~" at the end of "Hey all~" because I always thought it made the preceding text extraordinarily
kawaii, but now that I'm looking at it I'm remembering that it's often used to sort of extend the last part of the
word, with "Hi~" being read like "Hiiiiiiiiiii" because the second way of writing it just looks like garbage. It's
making me picture now saying "Hey alllllllllllllll" to all of you guys and that sort of seems like I'm a bit tipsy,
which I'm not. But hey, some googling led me to realize that the "~" being used like I just used it originated from
Japan, so it's sorta relevant? Anyways: Minna no Manga is going to be in the same place that it was last
Thursday, namely 10-225 from 6 pm - 10 pm. There will be many people there, and most of them will have had
Taco Bell within the last month. Do a survey, I'm prophetic.

Goshi Dinner is Sunday March 13 @ 7:00 PM! If you haven't already signed up, you missed the boat. If you have
already signed up but haven't paid, please get money to MnA treasurer Eric Oatey by Saturday, March 12. He'll
be at both Anime and Manga this week, which is convenient. We don't currently accept debit or credit, so stop
by an ATM to grab cash money prior to a meeting!

This Saturday, March 12 @ 5 pm is also the deadline for the Minna no Officer Anime applications! Sorry, Minna no
Anime Officer applications! If you want to play a crucial role in choosing anime for next year, in running the
Halloween Party and Open House, or just in being a good hard-working senpai for the other club-members to
look up to the Minna no Officer Animeship is for you! More details for what you have to do to apply at the link,
but basically you'll be a) sending in an application at the link (The sooner the better to reduce our webmaster's
workload!), then b) getting up in front of people at dinner break this Saturday and telling them a bit about
yourself and why you're running. Your name will then be thrown into a poll with the names of all of the other
candidates, and all registered Minna no Anime club members will vote on who they want in the officership!

If you want to take the role of next year's enigmatic Minna no Anime webmaster (traditionally a superhero on the
side, remember WhippMan, Captain Goofanader and The Mouse?), shoot a message to
webmaster@minnanoanime.org indicating your interest. Some knowledge of computer technologies is a must,
as is a willingness to learn the technologies used by Minna (I think PHP and MySQL stuff mostly, I don't know all
the details due to not being the webmaster). Note that webmaster is a bequethed position due to the technical
nature of the job. We'll be starting the new webmaster at the same time as the new elected officers, so while I
don't know the exact deadline of this application, it's safe to say it's soon.

This Saturday, Match 12 @ 10pm is the deadline for ordering this year's Minna no Anime apparel! If you've ever
wanted a t-shirt, sweatshirt, or other type of t-shirt advertising your involvement in the 2015-2016 Minna no
Anime year, now is the time to strike! T-shirts (and all the rest) can be ordered here. Note that you need a forum
account to order, which you can get here. We discovered this week that having an ampersand in your forum
username will render you unable to use the ordering system, so if you're in the habit of using special (non
alphanumeric) characters in your usernames, don't do that when signing up for the forum. Actually, doing it in
general probably isn't a great idea. If nothing else, some sites will accept them and others won't, and you'll end
up with multiple variations of the same username, so when you're trying to sign on to your
DefibrillateMeThroughMyIphoneBecauseIAmHavingAHeartAttack.com account and every second counts it might
cost you your life. Food for thought.

And as always... Vote for the simulcast!
I double-checked the voting link this time, honest.

<pre>TL;DR: Movie Night, Minna back in Silo Officer Applications due, Order a T-shirt, Pay for Goshi, Apply for
Webmaster, Vote for the simulcast!

Greetings Everyone!

This Saturday Minna no Anime is back in action, returning triumphantly to "The Silo", room 03-213. It's also the
last Minna meeting of the quarter, and you know what that means: It's time for the traditional end-of-quarter
Minna no Anime Movie Night! Movie Nights are a once quarterly event where we end our usual anime-watching
early in order to make room for a very special anime movie! This Saturday, we've got a really easy schedule
change for y'all. The first half of the schedule, before dinner break? Exactly as usual. Everything after?
Different and AWESOME!

For this week's movie night, we've got a multi-part event lined up for you guys. Firstly we've going to be showing
the specials for everyone's favorite pre-dinner 13 episode comedic show we aired this year, Monthly Girl's
Nozaki-kun! We've chained together the shorts originally released as extras on the Japanese blu-rays into 19
minutes of additional Nozaki, never before seen (by me). Afterwards we'll be showing the excellent Studio Trigger
anime short Little Witch Academia, followed closely by its (longer) sequel, Little Witch Academia 2! Together, LWA
and LWA clock in at an additional 80 minutes of prestine anime time.

This is the perfect time to come to club if you haven't been able to make it this quarter. Take a break from
studying and come and watch anime with a group of like-minded individuals. Little Witch Academia is about as
close to a Disney-created anime feature as you'll get out of Japan, and requires no background to watch, perfect
for introducing someone to Japanese Language animation or for taking a break from watching Attack on Tokyo
Narutogatari. Invite a friend who you want to start pressuring into watching anime, or that person who you don't
know very well that you know watches anime. It's literally buckets of fun.

Goshi Dinner is Sunday March 13 @ 7:00 PM, at Goshi Japanese Restaurant in Downtown SLO! If you haven't
already signed up, you missed the boat. If you have already signed up but haven't paid, please get money to MnA
treasurer Eric Oatey by this Saturday, March 12. We don't currently accept debit or credit, so stop by an ATM to
grab cash money prior to a meeting!

This Saturday, March 12, @ 5 pm is also the deadline for the Minna no Officer Anime applications! Sorry, Minna
no Anime Officer applications! If you want to play a crucial role in choosing anime for next year, in running the
Halloween Party and Open House, or just in being a good hard-working senpai for the other club-members to
look up to the Minna no Officer Animeship is for you! More details for what you have to do to apply at the link,
but basically you'll be a) sending in an application at the link, then b) getting up in front of people at dinner
break this Saturday and telling them a bit about yourself and why you're running. Your name will then be thrown
into a poll with the names of all of the other candidates, and all registered Minna no Anime club members will
vote on who they want in the officership!

If you want to take the role of next year's enigmatic Minna no Anime webmaster, shoot a message to
webmaster@minnanoanime.org to indicate your interest. Some knowledge of computer technologies is a must, as
is a willingness to learn the technologies used by Minna.Note that webmaster is a bequethed position due to the
technical nature of the job. We'll be starting the new webmaster at the same time as the new elected officers, so
while I don't know the exact deadline of this application, it's safe to say it's soon.

This Saturday is the deadline for ordering this year's Minna no Anime apparel! T-shirts (as well as sweatshirts an
hoodies) can be ordered here. Note that you need a forum account to order, which you can get here.

And as always... Vote for the simulcast!

===[Minna no Manga] No Manga meeting this week! 3/31/16===
<pre>TL;DR: No Manga this week. Anime club as usual. Vote for the simulcast!

Hey folks!

Just got a quick email for y'all today. Sorry for the brevity, I woke up at 3am and it's now 11pm so my ability to
write clever introductory text is about as small as a very small thing right now.

Minna no Manga will not be happening this Thursday due to Caesar Chavez Day. Manga will come back again next
week, April 7th, and will be more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Minna no Anime will be starting up again
this Saturday, at the usual time and place (5:10 PM @ 03-213 "The Silo").

And as always... Vote for the simulcast.

Cheers!

Curtis Hilgenberg
MnA Secretary

RANT:

Watch Iron-Blooded Orphans, it's really good. Also, don't read something at 4am that makes you salty enough that
you can't sleep until after classes the next day, thereby throwing off your sleep schedule for the next few days.
It's not a good plan.</pre>

===[Minna no Anime] First Saturday of the Quarter! 4/2/16===
<pre>TL;DR: Anime as usual, vote for the simulcast. Open House on the horizon.

Hey folks!

This Saturday's the first weekend of the quarter, and you know what that means: The first Minna no Anime meeting
of the quarter! We'll be in "The Silo" (03-213) this Saturday, as per usual. Now, here would be the place where if
I were a cruel god secretary I'd put in an April Fool's joke. After getting repeatedly frustrated by an internet
full of things that seem interesting but are actually fake for an entire day, however, I'm going to make this email
a sanctuary from that sort of thing. Drink a cup of green tea in a gazebo whilst soft music plays. You're safe
here.

For those of you who enjoy helping out club and/or making delicious onigiri to sell to random strangers, Open
House is coming up in roughly two weeks. More on that as the date (April 16, 2016) approaches.

And as always... vote for the simulcast

===[Minna no Manga] First Manga of the Quarter 4/7/16===
<pre>TL;DR: Manga in 10-231, (Re) Vote for Officer Elections and the Simulcast, T-shirts coming soon.

Hey folks!

Just got back from like a 4 hour walking-around-the-neighborhood-and-talking-on-the-phone-to-someone expedition,
and realized that I needed to lay down some sweet, fresh, mass-email goodness on y'all.

First of all: Manga. Our room for Manga this quarter is 10-231, which is in the agriculture building. That's the
same building Manga is typically in, the one that is part and parcel with the English building. If you enjoy
talking to people about anime and manga, or enjoy sitting in the corner and being in the general vicinity of people
that are talking about anime and manga, you should come! There's also a not insubstantial amount of board-
game playing that's
going on. Overall, pretty cool / 10, you should come. We don't bite <3.

Also going on is the redo of next year's Minna no Anime Officer Voting. If you have not yet voted in the new round
of voting you should do so, voting closes this Saturday @ 7pm, so do it sooooon. I know I still need to. Voting
link is here.

T-Shirt Update: T-Shirts are almost here. If all goes according to plan, we should have them in the next two or
three days. Hopefully will have some good news for you by the time the next email rolls around, but no guarantees,
since the world of T-shirt shipping is a strange and magical place.

And as always... Vote for the simulcast!

Cheers!

===[Minna no Anime] Help Us Out at Open House on April 16!===

No Minna no Anime meeting this week: replaced with Open House stuff!
Onigiri Practice on Thursday
Open House fast approaches! This Saturday, Minna no Anime will sell onigiri at Open House. To prepare us all for
the deliciousness that is rice balls, this Thursday's Minna no Manga will be turned into Onigiri Practice.

We will practice making what is on Saturday's menu:

Plain Onigiri
Salted Onigiri
Cucumber and Avocado Onigiri
Tuna and Mayo Onigiri
Come with an empty stomach! Help make onigiri to get a feel for how we'll make the rice balls during Open House.
You'll even get to eat them afterwards for free! Delicious~~

Open House on Saturday
This Saturday, April 16, is the day when Minna no Anime sells food to promote our club and make some dinero to
keep the prize box going. Come join us anytime from 6AM to 4PM and help set up the booth, make some onigiri,
or let others know about our club! Or, you know, just come and hang out~ Please note that we will not have a
traditional meeting that night - it's all about the Open House.

If you help out for two hours, you get ~*~ONE FREE ONIGIRI MEAL~*~, which is two onigiri of your choice and a
drink! And if you help out with taking down the booths at 3PM and loading/unloading people's cars, you get to
participate in our ~*~PRIZE BOX GIVEAWAY~*~. WOW SUCH DEALS HERE!!!!

Here are the roles and jobs we'll need volunteers for:

6-8AM: setting up booths (SO EARLY, YOU A CHAMP)
8AM-3PM: prepping and cooking rice
9AM-3PM:
cutting veggies and mixing meat
packing rice, veggies and/or meat into a mold
handing out drinks and onigiri
telling everyone how wonderful Minna no Anime is
telling everyone how wonderful our onigiri is
3-4PM: tearing down the booths and loading/unloading cars
If you're interested in any of those positions, sign up here for the times you'll be available that day.

What to Wear and Bring
If you're gonna hang out at our booth in any way, show off your anime pride with cosplay! Don't have cosplay to
wear? Fear not: wear a Minna shirt, or if you're out of those, just put on a regular ol' anime shirt! Fine small
print: please wear safe-for-work clothes, arigato gozaimasu. Also, if you plan to help out with food while
cosplaying, choose a costume you can comfortably move around in.

Bring anime merchandise, like figures, art books and manga, to decorate the info booth if you can. If you have any
knives or cutting boards, bring that too! Last but not least, please wear sunscreen!!!! If you forget, there should
be sunscreen at the booths.

Location?
We'll announce the exact location of our booth in a future update, but right now you can think about the upcoming
Onigiri Practice and chowing down on yummy rice and seaweed...

Hhhhh I'm drooling thinking about it... You know what that means... Time to go to Goshi for lunch tomorrow!!!

===[Minna no Manga] Onigiri Practice n' games n' stuff 4/14/16===
<pre>TL;DR: No Anime meeting on Saturday, Volunteer for Open House, Manga in 10-231, Onigiri-making @ Manga.

Hey folks!

Open House is this weekend! That means a few things. First of all, it means that there will not be anime club on
Saturday! Not that the timing for the two would overlap much, per se, but pretty much the entirety of the
officership is going to be waking up at like 5am to do stuff @ our booth from 6am to 3pm, and then another
couple hours for teardown. To attempt to then run club for several hours would be madness. MADNESS!

At said booth we will be making Onigiri, which are Japanese-style rice balls! Very tasty. Also at the booth is an
opportunity for you guys to be incredibly generous and awesome and get "free" food in the process. That's right,
we once again have volunteer opportunities! If you're planning at showing up to our booth (location pending), and
lending a hand, you should sign up here! For every two hours you volunteer, you get TWO onigiri and a Coca-Cola
brand soda ABSOLUTELY FREE! More detailed info on what precisely volunteering entails (written by next year's
secretary Phyllis Douglas), can be found here.

In order to prepare for this endeavor, we'll be having a special event at this Thursday's Manga: Onigiri Practice!
We'll have the fixins together to make every onigiri on our menu, so you can practice your culinary abilities in
the safe, nurturing environment of Minna no Manga (from 6 PM - 10 PM in 10-231 as usual). It's pretty nifty. Also,
you get to keep the onigiri you make, so free food HYPE!

Open House Menu:
Plain Onigiri (typically includes salt)
Cucumber and Avocado Onigiri
Tuna and Mayo Onigiri
See you Thursday!

PS: If you haven't yet picked up your t-shirt, we'll have the box @ Manga!</pre>

===[Minna no Anime] Open House Booth at Ag Bldg. Parking Lot and More===
<pre>YO, MINNA! In this email, we're talkin' about...

Open House Location: C24, C25, C28 in the parking lot between the Ag building and Math building (see map)
Next Year's Officers
T-Shirts Are Here: Pick them up at any Thursday or Saturday meeting. NOTE: We will NOT have shirts at Open House.
Open House Location
We know where we're located this year for Open House now! If you look at this map, we are in Zone C, that parking
lot between the Ag building and the Math building, right by one of the entrances to the Ag building. For some
reason, the Open House committee gave us weird booth spaces so they're not all in a row, but never fear! We
officers have come up with a plan to combat the mess, and all will be hunkydory tomorrow.

New Officers for 2016-2017
Welcome our new officers for next year!!!

President: Isaac Cameron
Vice President: Brian Kroger
Treasurer: Curtis Hilgenberg
Secretary: Phyllis Douglas ("Why are you still here, Phyllis. What are you doing." "Gotta be every position. Gotta
collect them all.")
Librarian: Mouse
Webmaster: Hannah Wilkins
Club Artist: Emily Mullins

Congratulations officers, and good luck!

2016 T-Shirts Have Arrived
Did you pre-order 2016's T-shirt?? Well, they are here! Talk to any one of the officers listed above or from this
current year at a Thursday or Saturday meeting, and they'll be able to give you your shirt(s). Please note that we
will not have the shirts at Open House tomorrow.

If you didn't pre-order a shirt, we have smalls through larges available for people to buy: $15 if you're a paid
member, $20 if you're not. Hand that sweet, sweet cash to Eric Oatey (the current treasurer) and he will trade
you a shirt.

And that's that, members! Hope to see you at Open House. GET READY FOR SOME ONIGIRIIIIIIII!!!!!! I'm so excited. I
love food so much. I love rice stuffed with foods so much. And there's all those other booths, too. Like, this is
my dream... to be surrounded by food booths... where they ask for your money and you give them money and you
get food in return.......... Open House should be everyday, amirite

===[Minna no Manga] Back to Basics 4/21/16===
<pre>TL;DR: Manga in 10-231, Pick up your T-shirt, Vote for the simulcast

Hey Folks!

Glad to see a bunch of you out at Open House! We got some names on a sheet from people who are interested in
doing that anime club thing next year, so that's good. Also we sold some (delicious) onigiri. Thanks to everyone
who volunteered!

Manga club is this Thursday, 4/21/16 in 10-231. That's the usual room, in the Agriculture building that secretly,
on its other side, is an English building. There'll be people hanging out there, it's pretty sweet. Board games and
socializing and manga, oh my!

Also at Manga club this week, we'll have the t-shirt box! If you ordered this year's t-shirt you can pick it up
there. We also have a number of them available to purchase on-site, $15 for members and $20 for non-members.

And, I think that's actually it. Wow. I'm so used to having roughly 600K things to talk about in an email that this
seems short by comparison. So uh, I guess I'll see you guys at Manga!

Oh, and Vote for the simulcast!

Cheers!

===[Minna no Anime] MS Paint Saturday 4/23/16===
<pre>TL;DR: Anime in the Silo, Pick up your T-shirt, Vote for the simulcast.

Hey folks!

I'm re-writing this intro at 3:47 AM this morning because I signed up to do the signs for the club today since our
artist is out of town and I'm really excited about it. So don't blame her for the mess of an idea that I'm
currently cranking out that's shaping up to look like something a ten-year-old would create in MS Paint.

Minna no Anime is in its normal place this week, 03-213 from 5 PM to 10 PM. We'll be watching the same anime as
per usual, plus the ever changing simulcast. Voting link is in the TL;DR. Schedule as usual is below.

Also at Anime club, we'll have the t-shirt box! If you ordered this year's t-shirt you can pick it up there. We
also have a number of them available to purchase on-site, $15 for members and $20 for non-members. I have no idea
how many people haven't picked up their t-shirt, but since I haven't picked up mine yet, I know that it's non-zero.
Plus, when you pick up your t-shirt, it means it's lighter to carry, always a plus!

And as always... Vote for the simulcast!

you can't make it to this meeting, see an officer at any Thursday or Saturday meeting in the future to buy one.

Rant
Aaanndd that's pretty much it for this email. I was contemplating leaving a "subliminal message" of Goshi next to
the Dinner Break entry in the schedule above, but I'd be very impressed if you could go to Goshi and come back in
an hour to catch Noragami. Like, wow. Hit me up with your restaurant tips, dawg.

Also, I really need to stop talking about Goshi in every email I write. Though, to be fair, I'm thinking about
Goshi about a quarter of my time each day. "But Phyllis, what about the animes?" Well, you see, other Phyllis, I
think about anime about a quarter of my time each day as well. But it fuels my thinking about Goshi since Japanese
food tends to be in the anime I watch. And thus, it becomes an endless cycle of anime and Goshi in my head as I
sink deeper into Japanese food despair, gnawing at the air, imagining a delicious jelly donut onigiri sticking to
my hands, rice bits all over my face, and the tiny sourness of pickled plum tickling my tongue... Ah! What
torturous imagery! I simply must stop what I'm doing and go to Goshi! But they are not open right now. They closed
orders at 9:50PM. I have to impatiently wait for the clock to strike 11:30AM, which is about 11-12 hours away. I
could watch anime, but the Japanese food will be drawn in a foodgasmic way, and my mind will wander to that
favored Japanese restaurant of mine... Goshi.

Welcome to Japanese food despair,

===[Minna no Manga] Cinco de Manga 5/5/16===
<pre>TL;DR Goshi sign-ups start within 2 weeks, shirts available, vote for simulcast

The torch has been passed on, and I'll be taking over the weekly and event emails for Curtis until the end of this
quarter. I hope I'll be able to live up to his emails!

Happy early Cinco de Mayo! Spend a good time with friends at tomorrow's Minna no Manga in room 10-231 from
6-10 PM. I hope there'll be some Mexican food specials at Campus Market to celebrate the holiday, like tacos.
Mmm tacos. I should really stop talking about food all the time in my emails. But... delicious tacos stuffed to the
brim with cheesy cheese, seasoned beef, and refreshing salsa... How could you say no?

Goshi Dinner Sign-ups Coming Soon
Speaking of food, our quarterly Goshi trip is coming up on June 5th, 7 PM! We have 30 spots available, so keep
your fingers ready to order when sign-ups open within two weeks. Our elegant online system allows you to order
Goshi's Japanese food to your heart's content, such as tamago nigiri, eel and shrimp tempura roll, yakiniku-don,
tanuki udon, and many more things! Please note that you will need to pay for whatever you sign up for with cash
by the June 4th Saturday meeting.

T-Shirts: They Are Still Here
We still have shirts available to buy! If you missed out on pre-ordering shirts for this year, the shirt box will
be at Minna no Manga tomorrow. It's $15 for paid members and $20 for non-members. See an officer at the
meeting to buy one!

And that's a wrap, kinda like a taco. Want more tacos? Here's a video about an anime girl that loves tacos. Also,
here's the link to vote for the simulcast - Uta no Prince-sama ep. 2, anyone?

Nacho it up,

<pre>TL;DR sign up for Goshi, vote for simulcast

Fellow Minna-goers,

Here is this week's Minna no Manga email, letting you know that club meets tomorrow, AKA Thursday, from 6-10PM
in room 10-231. Play some games, watch anime, or shoot the breeze with other club members! Vote for the
simulcast or talk about how much Phyllis writes about food in the emails, which leads me to...

Goshi Sign-ups Are Open
I LOVE GOSHIIIIIIIIIIIII- *cough* I mean, Goshi sign-ups are now open! There are 30 spots available, so if you feel
like eating with your Minna friends at a Japanese restaurant, sign up here! The spring quarter Goshi dinner is on
Sunday, June 5th at 7PM. Please note that you'll need a Minna no Anime forum account to sign up. If you don't have

up, too!

4th Saturday meeting.

Rant (in the Style of a Theatre Script)
Spotlight on center stage, focused on a wooden table with two chairs that are on opposite sides of the table. This
is the only light onstage. Phyllis sits on the chair that is on stage left, making the Gendo pose. The spotlight
should make sure the glasses are shining so brightly that most audience members just see shine instead of eyes.

Phyllis: I've been struggling to think of a way to talk about anime in these emails. Do I do anime reviews of
episodes I've recently seen? Do I write a dissertation on what it truly means to be a tsundere with examples from
Toradora!, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Oreimo? Do I gloat about how much anime I've watched and expose you all
to very obscure anime that is of various quality? (Pause.) Or, you know, I could take the easy road and just talk
about talking about anime. As I am currently doing, heh.

(Phyllis gets up from the chair and moves to down center stage. She starts pacing. A spotlight follows her
movements.)

Phyllis: Letting your opinion known about anime can bring about heated arguments or much agreement, depending
on who you are talking to. I'm not sure if I'd feel comfortable talking about my opinions on anime in these emails
since I tend to believe that most of the anime I like is "mediocre or bad anime", even if I genuinely like it. A
very confusing kind of opinion, no? You would think that if I like something, I would place it on a golden pedestal
where nothing can bring it down! I shall not have a negative opinion about it!

(Phyllis stops pacing, pauses a moment, and sits in the other chair. She leans back in the chair, hands crossed
over on her stomach.)

Phyllis: Unfortunately, I over-analyze things. I need to see things from all different angles and opinions, see
what's appealing about a thing and what's not, what worked and what didn't. When you start analyzing a show to
that point, its flaws start to appear and the golden pedestal crumbles.

(Phyllis slams the table suddenly.)

Phyllis: BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CANNOT LIKE IT!

(Phyllis jumps out of the chair and runs to down center stage, facing the audience. A new spotlight shines in this
spot. Her arms are spread wide.)

Phyllis: LIKE WHAT YOU LIKE! BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE! There will always be faults in things, and there will
always be beauty in things. But do not use these to try and reason with your feelings! If your heart enjoys the
thing, then follow your heart. If your heart dissuades you to even bear witness to it, then shy away. There is no
shame in that!

(Pause. Phyllis casually brings out sunglasses from her breast pocket and puts them on.)

Phyllis: Remember: anime is serious business. Know where your opinion stands and know what others will argue
about. Bring your A-game to the table, not your B-game! Fight for your love but understand that others will also
fight just as hard for theirs!

(Phyllis starts walking towards offstage left.)

Phyllis: This is the world we live in, an anime world. Opinions are the real beasts out there. We have to tame them
and make them ours.

(Phyllis pauses right near the exit of the stage and whips her head around.)

Phyllis: This is how we anime. (Phyllis exits.)

===[Minna no Manga] Uncharted Thursday 5/19/2016===
<pre>TL;DR suggest anime for next year, shows ending, discussion room in 3-113 Saturday, no meeting 5/28, Goshi
sign ups, vote for simulcast

This Thursday, club members will meet up in room 10-231 from 6-10 PM, discussing the niceties of anime, games,
and homework. Perhaps a round of Sentinels of the Multiverse will be used to show how card games can be
designed for cooperative play rather than competitive, or maybe Space Pirate Luluco will be viewed on the projector
screen to help the argument that anime shorts are not to be trifled with. Who knows, a debate about which anime
to watch for Simulcast of the Week may erupt in the middle of the classroom! In any case, fun, light-hearted
discourse awaits those who join club at its Minna no Manga meeting this week.

Recommend Some Anime to the Officers
Have some anime that you'd like club to show one day? Suggest away! Fill out this form with your anime suggestions,
and next year's officers will take them into consideration. We are closing the form Saturday May 21st at 2 PM.

Shows Ending this Saturday, May 21st
Everything must come to an end, and that includes our Minna no Anime show schedule. The following shows will
end at this Saturday's meeting on May 21st:

Haikyuu!!
Barakamon

back in room 3-114 on June 4th.

No Meeting Saturday May 28th
We are getting closer to the days of Fanime, and for that Saturday, May 28th, club will not have an official
meeting due to a good portion of members and officers attending Fanime. However, if you want to watch some
anime with club members in SLO, Future VP Brian will be running the show. Talk to him at a meeting for more
information!

Rant
Uncharted 4 came out on Tuesday last week. I kinda forgot until my friend was like, "oh mah gawdddd phyllis this
is so goood", and then I was like, "oh mah gawwwdd I need to buy iiiit" but my HDD hard drive was making clicky
sounds so I bought an SSD to replace it but you only get free shipping for 2 days on Amazon if you're a Prime
member, you know? So, like, I couldn't play Uncharted 4 until Thursday 'cause I bought the SSD on Tuesday, and then
I had to figure out how to make a backup and remove the HDD from the PS4 without bricking my PS4 'cause I break
electronics real easy. But like. Anyway.

SO WORTH.

You guys, this game is just... incredible. The graphics are amazing, the animation is amazing, the characters are
amazing, the story is ama- okaythestoryisallright BUT LIKE!!! It's so worth the $60 I put down for it. Having
played the previous three games, it's really cool to see the protagonist Nathan Drake really have character depth
and see how far he has come. He struggles with his marriage and his love for adventure, acts aloof but in reality
he knows that he's messing up, and he's just as witty and funny as in all the previous games. Oh! And we're hunting
for 400 million dollars worth of pirate treasure, which is hidden behind many elaborate temple trials and traps.
I'M JUST IN LOVE WITH ALL THIS????!!!!!

I'm about a little over halfway through the game if the bonus content is anything to go by, so I really hope the
ending will be just as crazy as the other games. Hoo boy, if you ever get the chance to watch a Let's Play for the
series or play them yourself, get on that boyeeee

On the search for vast sums of pirate monies,

Rant
There's a certain anime convention convening next week called Fanime (or FanimeCon, if you wanna be official).
I'm staffing it this year as Second of Webteam. It's pretty coo'. My name is plastered on a lot of posts, nbd. I
feel like I'm really making a change for the con, you know?

But of course, being one of the public faces of Fanime means I have to be the bearer of bad news, like how Art
Gallery is canceled this year. (Please note: Artist Alley is still open!!) Man, that was not fun to post,
considering there were a lot of people wanting to enter it.

But hey, what can I do? I'm just the messenger. I just relay what I'm told to the internet. Pretty chill, tbh.

"Get to the point of your rant, Phyllis"

...

"...Do you not have a point"

...I may have wrote this to add more "anime" to my rants considering we're an anime club, 'cause otherwise I'd be
talking about that cat dating sim I bought...

"Oh."

Yeah.

"Well."

Hmm.

"..."

...I could talk about how I watched a few episodes of Seraph of the End???

"Oh! That's a good one, let's go with that."

I watched the first two episodes of Seraph since I missed out on that show when it was airing that season. Anime-
Planet has it tagged "Horror", so I was all like, "OH YEAH GOTTA WATCH THIS!!"

It's not a horror.

The first episode is actually kind of scary in like a psychological way?? The background art was super gorgeous,
and the animation was well done. I liked the characters well enough. And then episode two happened and... I
realized pretty quickly it was a shonen. The first episode really doesn't show that; it's almost like a horror
in that first episode.

I mean, I'm okay with shonens and stuff, but I kinda wanted?? Something scary???? And not about beating up
vampires, I dunno *shrug*

"...Okay, that wasn't as good as I thought. Just talk about the cat dating sim. I can see you making faces at me
that say, 'I want to write about the cat dating sim'."

YESSSSS

SO LIKE OMG, I BOUGHT THIS VISUAL NOVEL CALLED "HUSTLE CAT" AND YOU DATE TALKING CATS IN THAT
GAME

DO YOU GUYS
UNDERSTAND

HOW MUCH
I LOVE CATS
AND DATING CATS*??

ONE OF THE CATS IS INTERNET-FAMOUS, AND I DATED HER!!!! HER NAME IS JELLY DONUT AND SHE BALANCES
A JELLY DONUT ON HER HEAD AND SHE'S SO CUTE

AND YOU WORK IN A CAT CAFE, SO THERE'S CATS EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME, AND MY HEART CAN'T HANDLE
HOW CUTE IT IS!!

IT'S EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WANTED!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE!! CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loving cats a little too much,

Phyllis Douglas
2016-2017 Minna no Anime Secretary

*Note: The cats are actually humans who have been cursed to be cats outside of the cat cafe. You kind of date
cats in this game. But all the humans are really hot, so I'm okay with it </pre>

===[Minna no Manga] Re:ZERO -Starting Life on Another Thursday- 5/26/2016===
<pre>TL;DR no official Saturday meeting 5/28, Goshi sign-ups close Saturday 10 PM, movie night 6/4: "Kara no
Kyoukai: The Garden of Sinners" movies 1 & 2

Fanime starts this Friday, but never fear! Minna no Manga will meet tomorrow in good ol' room 10-231 from 6 to
10 PM. Games! Anime! Talking! It's all here at... Minna no Manga.

No Official Meeting Saturday May 28th
You might have to fear Fanime a little bit because Minna no Anime will not officially meet on Saturday due to
officers and club members attending the anime convention. If you'll be in San Luis Obispo though, future VP Brian
will lead a meeting on Saturday from 5-10 PM. A future email will go out with a bit more details about what he's
got planned!

Spring Goshi Dinner: Sign-ups Closing 5/28 @ 10 PM
Get your orders in! Goshi Dinner sign-ups and orders close this Saturday at 10 PM. Haven't signed up or need to
edit your order? Use this link to do so and join us for a fiesta of Japanese food! You'll need a Minna no Anime
forum account to sign up. Don't have one? Create one here, or retrieve your password here.

Reminder: Goshi Dinner money is due in cash to treasurer Eric by Saturday, June 4th, 10 PM. The dinner will be on
Sunday, June 5th at 7PM. Need a car ride? Ask around in club or leave a message in our Facebook group!

Movie Night's Movie: "Kara no Kyoukai: The Garden of Sinners"
The spring quarter movie has been chosen, and on June 4th at 8:05 PM, Minna no Anime will show Kara no Kyoukai:
The Garden of Sinners, movies 1 & 2! It's a series of seven films, and club will show the first two movies in the
line-up. Created by the people behind the Fate series and animated by ufotable, expect exhilarating action, magic,
and interesting characters in this beautiful, dangerous saga!

Please note that Saturday's meeting schedule will be different from the usual due to shows ending.

Rant
Re:ZERO is a currently-airing anime in Japan right now. It's pretty good in my opinion 'cause it hits all the
things that I really like: a fantasy world, demihumans, scary things, poor life choices, time travel, and... a cat.
Specifically, a flying talking cat.

A FLYING TALKING CAT THAT CAN CHANGE HIS SIZE FROM NORMAL CAT SIZE TO HUMAN SIZE!!!

His name is Puck, and he and the protagonist Subaru play off each other so well. Omg, they're just so funny to
watch!! Aah, I can't even describe how much I enjoy them just kinda horsing around and making jokes, and then
Emilia laughs at it or she gets mad and it's... just... REALLY GOOD CHARACTER INTERACTIONS IN RE:ZERO!!!

Oh and like Puck is a magical spirit creature, so he and Emilia made a contract so that she can use his powers. But
like a business person, he only works 9 to 5. AH THAT'S SO CUTE~~

Also also Puck uses ice magic to attack, and even though he's so tiny, HE'S SO GOOD AT IT!!! Best cat ever.
...Okay. That was a joke. Nyanko-sensei is still the best cat ever. Puck isn't old enough to hit old man cat
tier... yet.

Puck is nyanderful,

===[Minna no Anime] Unofficial Saturday Meeting in the Silo 5/28===
<pre>Hey all,

This is Brian, your future and forever (not really) vice president.

For all you "time conservative" peeps: Saturday meeting Silo from 5-10 pm, Non-Fanime-goers give suggestions
(Link in email), Chicken people hate tires

So this email is to all you people who will not be going to Fanime. I don't care for the reason: lack of money,
time, chicken people slashing your tires, etc. But if you are going to be here, we (Eric and I) will be throwing an
unofficial
Saturday meeting!!

So during this meeting, it will be your guys' suggestion for a solid 5 hours, with breaks like usual. However to do
this, I need suggestions or I become dictator of anime and show all my shows. So in order to save me from power
you should come to club with suggestions or put them on this sheet:

[link here]

(make suggestions that are not breaking the rules (no crazy ecchi, porn, and if it is on Crunchyroll or some other
legal fashion, that would be great))

Also this meeting will take place in the Silo in the business building as usual from 5-10 pm

If you are going to Fanime and have read this entire email, you are a silly goose, have fun at Fanime.

Cya all on Saturday

Brian Kroger
Soon-to-be Overlord of Chicken People
Best VP ever (in 2016-2017)</pre>

===[Minna no Manga] ThursdayCon 6/2/2016===
<pre>TL;DR movie night showing Kara no Kyoukai: Garden of Sinners 1&2, Goshi dinner (check order here), summer minna
room 3-112

Hello Minna, how was your Memorial Day Weekend? Went to a party? Traveled to Fanime? Buckled down and finished
some homework? Or did you count the days on your fingers to the last meeting of Minna no Manga this year? It's sad
but true: our last social meeting for Spring Quarter will be tomorrow, 6/2, from 6 to 10 PM in room 10-231. Bring
your best games to make a lasting impression on this year's Minna no Anime!

Movie Night, Kara no Kyoukai: Garden of Sinners 1 and 2
Just like how we're having a last Manga meeting, so too goes the Saturday meeting. On June 4th, club will have its
last Saturday meeting and show the final episodes of Last Exile, Tiger & Bunny, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.
After dinner break, club will present Kara no Kyoukai: Garden of Sinners movies 1 and 2 starting at 8:05 PM.

Goshi Dinner: June 5, 7PM
The day after movie night, club's quarterly Goshi dinner occurs! If you signed up, please join us at Goshi for
dinner that night. We'll walk to Doc Bernstein's Ice Cream afterwards! If you have not yet paid, please pay the
treasurer Eric your order amount before June 4th, 10 PM. If you don't know how much you owe, please check this link.

Summer Minna: Saturdays Room 3-112 5-10 PM, Starting June 25th
With things ending, it leaves room for new beginnings! Summer Minna will start meeting June 25th at 5PM and will
meet thereafter each Saturday from 5-10 PM in room 3-112. The last summer meeting will be on September 17. We'll
also have a discussion room available in room 3-104. Unlike the yearly Minna no Anime meetings, Minna no Summer
is a bring-your-own-anime setup, and members in attendance pick what to watch that meeting. If you're in SLO any
time during the summer, be sure to drop by!

Rant
I bought some stuff at Fanime. You know how you forget to bring stuff on trips? Well, I forgot to bring a jacket
with me to Fanime. :\ So, I was all like, "I'll just get one at con," and that's what I did. I got a sweatshirt of
a corgi waving his butt at you.

It's baby purple and cute and I love it.

I've also been meaning to get a hair clip for my hair ever since I got my dramatic haircut. My bangs are so long,
I can do the anime one-eye-look, but really, it's not practical. So, I bought a hair clip at Fanime's Artist Alley.
It has a mushroom floating above it.

It's poison red and spotted and I love it.

My friend and I went to Clockwork Alchemy and wowee-zowee, all the artists there are so good at their craft! One
artist makes robot figurines out of wood, and he had a few small ones that were mystery box type. I bought one
'cause I love robots as much as I love old men talking cats. I got a tiny robot.

It's small and square and I love it.

I stayed at the Westin: Sainte Claire this year, and hoo boy, that's one heck of a nice hotel. There was a Samsung
50"-ish TV, and it showed off my PS4's graphics soooo well. Oh man, it was so fun to play Uncharted 4 and Digimon
Story on it. Though I may have splurged on the hotel a bit...

It's very expensive and gorgeous and I love it.

My wallet doesn't.

===[Minna no Anime] The Last Saturday 6/4/2016===
<pre>TL;DR LAST MEETING OF THE YEAR!, Goshi 7PM on Sunday, Summer Minna room 3-112 on 6/25 5-10PM

It's here. It's happening. Tomorrow in room 3-213, we will convene for the last meeting of Minna no Anime 2015-2016.

Tears!! Everflowing tears of sadness! I... I must make it through this! I must fulfill my duty as secretary and
write down what is happening at this last meeting. But!!! THE STRUGGLE IS REAL! TO KNOW THAT IT IS THE END OF
AN ERA... BUUUHHHHUHHUHUHUU

Here is the schedule for our last meeting!!!!
Please note that we're skipping Simulcast of the Week to make room for the movies. Also note that there will be
two episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion to finish off the series. Lastly, the schedule is very different than usual,
so make sure to come earlier if you want to see your favorite shows!

5:10 PM - Last Exile - 26 (last episode)
5:35 PM - Tiger & Bunny - 25 (another last episode)
6:00 PM - Ten Minute Break
6:10 PM - Neon Genesis Evangelion - 25 (you thought this might be the last episode, but guess again)
6:35 PM - Neon Genesis Evangelion - 26 (here's the last episode, y'all ready for this)
7:00 PM - DINNER BREAK
8:05 PM - Kara no Kyoukai: The Garden of Sinners Movie 1: Thanatos. (Overlooking View)
8:55 PM - Kara no Kyoukai: The Garden of Sinners Movie 2: ...and nothing heart. (Murder Speculation Part A)
9:55 PM - The End :(

It's Goshi Time
As a form of farewell, let's eat at Goshi! This Sunday at 7PM, meet up at Goshi if you had signed up for the dinner
in the previous weeks. If you haven't already, remember to pay Eric the treasurer the amount you owe in cash before
June 4th, 10PM. Don't remember how much you got? You can see your cost here. If you need a ride, officers will
set up a ride list at the meeting tomorrow, or you can message the Facebook group!

A Summer Full of Minna
Club may be coming to a close for this school year, but if you want a jump-start on next year, Minna no Anime meets
during the summer! It follows the same number of hours, 5-10PM on Saturdays, but instead of a set anime lineup
to follow, attending members bring their own anime and choose what to watch from that instead. The first meeting
will be on June 25th in room 3-112, and the discussion room will be located in 3-104. The last meeting will be
September 17th, and then we'll come back for 2016-2017 on Saturday, September 24!

Rant: So Long, Farewell, and Good Luck
It's been a pleasure writing some of the emails for this school year. I feel like we've all come to know me much
better as a person. ...Maybe a little too close. If you ever see me at club, you know what you can talk to me about:
old men talking cats.

Here's an end message from Curtis, the secretary of 2015-2016 Minna no Anime:

Hey all! Thanks for putting up with me for much of the year, and for reading what I wrote. Being secretary is a
stressful job with a lot of deadlines, and it really helped me feel better when members would talk to me about
something in the email or even just give me flak about how late I put it out on a given day. It meant people were
paying at least some degree of attention, and that made all the difference. For those of you who read the rants,
apologies for not doing more of them. When I took the job, I was fired up and ready to stand on a soapbox and tell
everyone my opinions on everything. I am like that, to a degree, but the summer I spent prior to taking up the job
cooled that roaring fire to a glowing ember. I still enjoy discussing my opinions, but I'm more inclined to only go
in depth into those that are relevant to a discussion, rather than shouting all of them to everyone. Thus rants
became scarcer. I simply didn't have anything I really felt the need to talk about to the mailing list at large. That
being said, if anyone here plays Overwatch on PC, and you're looking for people to play with, add WalkinDude#1296.
I hope to see some of y'all at Summer Minna, and into the next year.

And with that, mata rainen, tomodachi!
