Anime at the Alamo Drafthouse – Lake Creek

So, perhaps the Friday night Anime Club meetings at the University of Texas in Austin aren’t convenient for you. In fact, perhaps your weekends are completely booked solid, so the monthly anime night with the Austin Anime Meetup Group is out of the question as well. If that’s the case for you, then Alamo Drafthouse has a solution for you – Anime at the Alamo on Tuesday nights, brought to you by FUNimation and their “FUNimation at the Movies” program.

Starting at 7:30pm you can watch the featured anime of the night for free. You read that right – FREE. Plus, you get the benefit of being at the Alamo Drafthouse. And you know what that means. You can eat your dinner, drink beer (or whatever your beverage of choice is), and have dessert … all while watching anime.

Here’s the schedule for the next couple of months:

Date Title
April 13th Slayer’s Revolution
April 20th Case Closed Movie 6
April 27th Soul Eater
- -
May 4th Initial D Third Stage
May 11th Blassreiter
May 18th Initial D Fourth Stage
May 25th Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
June 1st Mushi-Shi Movie (Live Action)

For those of you not in the Austin area but living in the Lone Star State, FUNimation, in order to get more anime nights going says, “You get the theater. We’ll supply the anime.” And for those of you in the Dallas metro area, check out the FUNimation at the Movies meetup group near you.

By the way, I should give credit to my Twitter friend, Brandon Williams (@rocketeerbkw) for bringing this to my attention. Thanks Brandon!

If you’ve ever wanted to be a fly on the wall around people who are passionate about anime, manga, and the culture of Cool Japan in America, here’s your chance. I attended Sushi Night this past Saturday with the Austin Anime Meetup Group, where I and 6 others enjoyed the fare at Ryu of Japan and discussed our favorite topics. I recorded much of it on video, which I’ve edited and posted below, and we took lots of pictures.

Enjoy. But more importantly, join us next time. It really is a Gendai Shikaku Bunka Kenkyukai (現代視覚文化研究会), or Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture.

Here’s the video:

And here are some of the photos from the evening. We did something a little different this time around by passing around the camera and getting shots from all angles (and seeing who can’t take pictures as you’ll see in the slideshow at the end of the video).

Seitokai no Ichizon, ep. 6. Seriously, if you haven’t watched this show yet, do so as soon as possible. You won’t regret it (probably).

Sora no Woto ep. 4 – Kanata and Noel’s road trip. The plot is developing pretty slowly, but it’s enjoyable nonetheless. I’ll be interested in seeing how the tank that Noel is repairing fits in to the story, besides just being a project that aids in mutual self-discovery.
