Stanford Newtype Anime

Last week, we showed Asu no Yoichi, a not-so-serious tale of a samurai who ventures out into modern-day urban Japan, as a random. We then finished showing Gurren Lagann and Macross FRONTIER, as well as started showing Code Geass. Tonight, at 8PM in Language Corner room 260-113 (note the room change for this week only), we shall continue with three(!) episodes of Code Geass and one episode of the other series we’re starting, Kannagi. Enjoy~

Last week, we showed some Haruhi and Churuya cuteness as well as a bunch of cliffhangers. Swing by tonight at 8PM, room 200-030 for the exciting conclusion to Macross FRONTIER and Gurren Lagann! Since we only have three episodes in total remaining, we are also going to start showing Code Geass, one of our next shows.

There will be a weekly showing tonight at 8PM in room 200-030 in the History Corner basement. We will be showing some shorts for the random, and then we will show Macross FRONTIER 23-24 and Gurren Lagann 24-25. Be there!

Oops, guess I forgot to post about last week’s showing, where we watched episodes 19-20 of Macross FRONTIER and episodes 20-21 of Gurren Lagann in addition to the one-shot Maria Holic episode 1. Tonight, we will be showing episodes 21-22 of Macross FRONTIER and episodes 22-23 of Gurren Lagann in room 200-030 at 8PM as usual. See you there!

Tonight we are having our weekly showing tonight in room 200-030 in the History Corner at 8PM and watching episodes 17-18 of Macross FRONTIER and 18-19 of Gurren Lagann.  Hope to see you there!

Don’t forget to stop by room 200-030 in the History Corner tonight at 8PM for some fun watching Macross FRONTIER and Gurren Lagann. Plus, hopefully I’ll be able to show some dancing wind as well…

Frederik Schodt will be presenting a talk on Osamu Tezuka titled “At the Center of the Anime/Manga Revolution: Osamu Tezuka and Astro Boy.” It will take place in Encina Hall’s Phillipines Conference Room from 12:00PM to 1:15PM. Lunch will be provided as well.

Hey everyone! Welcome back to Stanford for Winter Quarter. We will be showing more Gurren Lagann and Macross FRONTIER this quarter, but please note the room change. Our first showing is going to be this Friday, January 16, 2009 at 8PM in room 200-030. See you there!

Hey everyone! We will be closing out the quarter with a study break, featuring one episode each of Macross FRONTIER and Gurren Lagann, followed by a raffle for two gift certificates from Right Stuf, an online anime retailer. Each time you filled out a survey at the end of showing, you were automatically entered into this drawing. After the raffle, we will be just chilling and playing either DDR, Smash Brothers or some other fun games while socializing. See you there!
