Orientation Picnic

Howdy all,

Uni is starting back up again, and so is Anime@UTS’ annual orientation picnic! Say hello to our old and new members alike this Saturday at Victoria Park!

2010 Orientation Picnic Flyer

Victoria Park is a quick walk down Broadway from UTS, opposite the Broadway Shopping Center. If you’re not sure of the way, meet us at 10:30 at the UTS Building 1 (main tower) foyer near security.

We ask everyone to bring along some food or drink to share around. There’ll probably be a group trip across the road to Coles if you’re not sure what to get beforehand.

Got questions? You can post them up on the forum topic or Facebook event.

2010

So with the end of 2009 also comes the end of an era, with us saying goodbye to a few long serving executives (jyrds, Jay & mekky). But that also means that we have a fairly new executive team! We want to be the very best, like no one ever was. Over the last few months we’ve been hard at work getting ready for the new year. Any of those rumours about us playing games, drinking and excessively sleeping are entirely untrue!


*ahem*

During the holidays, we’ve had some brainstorming sessions and laid out some plans for the new year. Of course, these meetings happened over karaoke and japanese food, so no one really wrote anything down. But recalling from memory, here’s a few things we’d agreed upon:

  • New Website – which includes a new anime@uts blog!
  • New Weekly Events – such as dinner nights and theme nights (Maybe a boku no pico night just for Seakas)
  • More merch
  • More eatouts!

null
At least some of us are working…

The AnimeSydney Card will also be returning this year, which will give you discounts at a variety of places like Passionflower and Norita!

If you don’t want to fall behind on the happenings of the anime club, come join us on IRC, join our Facebook page or follow our Twitter account (which I promise I’ll update more). Also, if you’re a newbie just about to start Uni, UTS’s Oday is on the 24th of February, so come by and join us at our stall!

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.

For it is time again to confer.

Is a gathering of thrills and frights.
Back again, for a horrible sight

Sampler Screening

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)
