Spring 2011

The purpose of this page is to narrow down the shows that have been suggested for the spring semester to 7 titles which we will then preview during the second meeting on January 27th. (The first meeting, Jan. 20th, will be Movie Night)

In addition to watching complete anime series, we're going to try to work in a couple of theme nights as well, where we would watch episodes from a variety of shows all centered around one theme. These may include: Comedy, shoujo (girls' anime), sports, music, and more. We'll be discussing this more as we get closer to the spring semester. I would like for us to try two different theme nights this semester, in addition to movie night at the beginning of the semester. Once again I expect we can watch either 1) two long series and two short series, or 2) one long series and three or four short series.
