~Welcome to Anime@UTS~ \^o^/

This could be you! Get animated!

So I hear people watch this thing called anime and read things called manga… Well… so do we!

Just in case you cannot see our name because of the awesomeness of our banners or epic post title – We are Anime@UTS – the best source of anime at UTS (kekekekeke) But really, we are a UTS society dedicated to displaying and celebrating all (if not most) things found in Asian pop culture – with a particular focus on Japan and anime. To us it is a way of life~

Ok, so right now you must be thinking – “That’s all great and good, but really happens at Anime@UTS?”. Well actually do much more than watch anime and sit around reading manga. These are just to name a few (a very, very few)…

Screen anime? – Hellz yeah!
Live action dramas? – Japanese, Korean, and Everything in-between!
Cosplay? – Someone say club cosplay?
Video and board games? – Try and stop us!
Art and model kits? – Mini mecha wars!
Karaoke? – We sing and scream our lungs out!
Chill and hang out? – You have come to the right place!
Eat out? – Do we ever!
Conventions? – Guard our stall by morning, plunder others by mid-morning!
Random Events? – There will be events, and they will be random!

Doesn’t matter if you are fresh from the terrors of the HSC, have been crawling around uni for the last few years, or have just discovered anime – come contact us or find us when the uni year starts up!

Picture It – Where the noms are.

Since neither the vein nor the approach to these posts are set, I thought I would follow on a similar vein from ruby last week, albeit with less skill and a meandering train of thought. As he lead you on a little trip through citypr0n– oh, I’m sorry, I mean cityscapes last week, this time’s post is on food in anime/manga (although predominantly I’ll be drawing on anime examples here).

Music Monday – Upper Soul 23 Roll

Are you lacking that adrenaline feeling? Have that need to kick people in the face and make inappropriate gestures? Well then, I think a good dose of Air Gear, Music Monday, and therapy is in order. So you better get your A-T on, follow your road, and listen to Chain by BACK-ON.

You ready to wake up, You gotta fly with us~

Picture It – Be scared, be very scared… of fanart. (Safe for Work)

Naturally, fanart often delves in character history, specific situations (either imagined or existing in the original story), relationships between certain characters (by which I undoubtedly also mean of a romantic nature), … ‘ecchi’ (perverted) images, and much, much more besides. Artists are unbelievably creative, and anything you can imagine, it will probably have been done, or someone is doing it.
