News

Welcome New 2009 Members!

Howdy everybody!

Firstly, welcome to the anime club! It’s always an exciting time of year, with new blood in the club. We hope to see you new people at our events and screenings throughout this year, so come along and get to know some new people.

Just a few quick links:

Our forums:

http://www.animesydney.org/forum/index.php

You’ll find the most upto date news and information about the club there (yeah, we tend to forget this website sometimes -_-’). Also, its a great place to meet and get to know other people in not just the UTS anime club, but in all of Sydney. If you have any questions, just post on the forums or send a PM to Sleet and I’ll try and get back to you ASAP. So I suggest you pop on over and join.

Facebook

Group Page (cause the link was too long, it broke the design scheme :p)

Join the Facebook group to get invites to events and any club updates through facebook.

IRC (Internet Relay Chat)

For those who haven’t used IRC before: http://www.animesydney.org/forum/index.php/topic,5753.0.html
For experts: Server – Rizon , Channel – #anime@uts

IRC is where you can chat directly to the club members. Its probably the best way (apart from coming to events and such) to get to know people in the club. There are conversations about anime, gaming, some of the weirder things on the internet and just life in general (also a nice way to ask about anything to do with the uni). So come along and have a chat with us. Note – If you join and no one is talking, just wait a little or try to start a conversation. We’re all friendly people, but sometimes we’re busy (like watching anime) and not looking at our chat windows.

Anyway, if you have any further questions, just email secretary@utsanime.net and I’ll try and get back to you asap!

Hope to see you soon!

Horror Party

Darkness falls across the land,
And evil starts to play its hand.
Sinister creatures begin to stir,
For it is time again to confer.
A foul stench starts to fill the air,
As the living and dead approach their lair.
For on this night of terrible nights,
Is a gathering of thrills and frights.
Back again, for a horrible sight
Is the Anime Horror night.

Sampler Screening

Date: Saturday 19/4/08
Time: 11 am – 6 pm
Location: CB02.4.29 (UTS Tower Building)

Description:
Once upon a time, there was a man named Bob.
He loved anime, so much so he lost his job.
To him, everything needed more DESU,
Except his nice boat, you know its true.

Being a baka gaijin, he resorted to his ‘tubes
To get all his animated moé and boobs.
But shed manly tears would he,
When capped his internet be!

“Why did I did I download all that anime!?”
“Only about half of them were okay!”
To help him to clear his blues,
We gave him some happy news:

UTS is holding a Sampler Screening Event,
With one clear and simple intent.
Screen the first episodes of the new anime season
So you don’t have to download all without any reason!
Come along and see which ones you like,
Trust me, its worth the hike!

Real Description:
Ever both looked forward to and dreaded the new season of anime? You look at all the previews and screenshots for the new series, yet you look at your download limit and frown. Well save yourself the download and come to Anime@UTS’s Sampler Screening! Watch the first episodes from the different series of the new season and see for yourself which ones you’ll be interested in!

Anime List:
Kamen no Maid Guy (comedy)
Macross Frontier (mecha)
SOUL EATER (shounen, action)
Kyouran Kazoku Nikki (comedy)

More coming soon!
