[Minna no Anniversary] Jan 4 2016 Donate to the Great Anniversary of Everyone's Anime

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~ 🍻

[Minna No Manga] Where Manga Is 1/7/16

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 

[Minna no Anime] Saturday of Saturdays 1/9/16

 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!

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

[Minna no Manga] Thursday 1/13/16

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

Hello, Minna, how are you enjoying the new year?

Correction to the previous email: I have played only 40 hours of Xenoblade Chronicles X, not 60.

We would like to remind members that you can make categories for Anniversary's Anime Trivia at this link. We'd
also like to announce that Goshi will provide a buffet for us on Sunday February 7, but the price is still to be
determined.

Now, on to new event announcements!

Swap Meet
Scavenger Hunt
Movies: Millennium Actress and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Swap Meet is returning for Minna's 25th Anniversary, and will run from 10AM to 12PM on Saturday, February 6,
in room 3-114. If you would like to be a seller, there is a limited number of tables to sign up for. You can pick
from:
a half table of about 3' x 2',
two half tables of 3' x 4',
or a backroom full table of 2' x 5'.
The tables are all first come, first served. There's 16 half tables available and 8 backroom full tables available.
Tosign up, please fill out this form. You will need a Minna no Anime forum account to login and register as a
seller. You can make an account here, or if you've forgotten your password, you can retrieve it here.

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.
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.
Accepted submissions: email anniversary@minnanoanime.org (Limit to 25mb attachments per email), printed
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
The movies to be shown at anniversary will be Millennium Actress and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Both
movies will be shown in the Silo (room 3-213). Millennium Actress will be on Saturday starting at 8PM, and
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time will start at 3PM on Sunday.

of all the other things that are going on:

[Minna no Manga] Saving Private Thursday 1/20/16

 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!

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

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

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

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

[Minna no Manga] Designated T-Shirt Contest Work Time 1/28/16

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!

Curtis Hilgenberg

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!

[Minna No Anime] Belatedly Sent Saturday 1/30/16

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
webmaster@minnanoanime.org for more details!
