Last month Anime Punch hosted it's first Anime Adventure at the Urban Arts Center in Columbus!
We are going to be holding two events at the Urban Arts Center every month.
The first will be our Anime Adventures, where host multimedia discussions and lectures on various topics dealing with anime. Last month our topic was anime 101 and was a brief history of how anime has started and developed, as well as an overview of well known shows, people and studios.
We are also going to be holding video game tournaments once a month at the Urban Arts Center.
Everyone is welcome to attend! These lectures will be for old and new anime fans. There is no admission to get in. I'll try to keep this updated with information, but a better way to find out about our upcoming Urban Arts Center events would be to join our mailing list.

It will begin at 6 pm, and it is free! All are welcome.

we have our first video game tournament coming up! It will also be at the Urban arts space, on March 26th.

People better show up, after all; anyone who doesn't enjoy an epic smash brothers tournament is a pussy.

Right, fellas?

That's right!

And our next anime adventure will be on one of the first thursdays in april, with the topic being "gateway anime"

The next amine adventure is Thursday at 6 pm! Everyone should come, this one will need lots of audience interaction, and someone other than Michael will be hosting!

Our Next anime adventure will be on December 15th!

For the holiday season we are going to take a look at the religions of Japan, and their interpretation of Western religions. Japan is a deeply spiritual and and traditional country with intense cultural ties to their lore and customs, yet is largely secular.

Hey guys, here's a facebook page for it!

I am glad it is this week :) . Back on the 9th I thought it was that day becaus I commented I could not go there :lol:

I am torn. I don't care much for shonen anime, but at the same time I like intelligent discussions on anime
I guess it doesn't matter for me, I have class on thursday evenings ):

Sorry for the late notice, but tomorrow we will be having our Monthly Anime Adventure on East and West: shows produced in both the east and the west.
It starts at 6 pm, is free to attend, at the OSU Urban Arts Space in downtown columbus.

So...I know this is short notice, but next thursday I will be presenting on "Post-Modernism in Anime".
It will be very pretty and educational. You should all join me.
It will be at 6 pm at the OSU Urban Arts Space, at 50 West Town Street in Columbus,

Here is the website description!
Here is a website description!

how did yesterdays post modernism in anime lecture go? it sounded like it was going to be really interesting but i wasn't able to make it.

I really liked it. There was a lot in the beginning about what postmodernism actually means, as well as surrealism, impressionism, modernism, etc. There were lots of examples from paintings. I think I enjoyed that part most, and understood it the best.

Getting into the anime side of it was neat, though I find it really difficult to put that academic lens on anime. Even if someone describes FLCL as surreal, or Utena as postmodern, I can see it but... it doesn't actually replace the definition I already had of it, even though 'surreal' or 'postmodern' might be technically more correct than 'weird' or 'inverted fairy tale' respectively.

I want to try to rewatch Madoka with those terms in mind though. And I really want to watch Millenium Actress and Macross now, from how they were described. And, to a lesser extent, Beck.

wow that sounds really awesome. now i really wish i got to go. stupid work making me always miss the good stuff. and i see you point on that.

Yeah, i never have thursdays off without pulling connections, but i always hear great things about these lectures!

i some times get to show up to them late

There's one really soon, right? Does anyone know what this one is about?

game changing anime

i checked the website

Oh. Right. The website. Thank you!

no problem

how did it all go to day? i hate that i have to miss all of these because of work.
