| About the Program
The WCPL Anime Club is a program for teens who have an interest or
passion for Japanese animation, manga, and cosplay, among other
things. The group meets every Tuesday to watch new episodes of
favorite shows, share stories, and just generally bond over a common
interest - anime.
The group is always looking for new members who are open to new series
and just have a general love of anime and all things related! Anyone
14 and up is welcome to drop in for a meeting. 13-year-olds may also
drop by but should fill out a parental agreement form if they plan to
regularly attend.

For Potential Members
We currently watch the following series: |
| |
|
GunxSword
There's a claw-fisted, fiancé-murdering,
older-brother-corrupting, genocidal maniac terrorizing the planet of endless
illusion, and only Van, a tight-lipped loner in a jet black tuxedo, can
bring the scoundrel to justice. Armed with his shape-shifting sword, a
mechanized suit of armor sent from the heavens, and a fierce hunger for
condiments, Van hunts the villain who murdered his one true love with dogged
determination. Riding shotgun on his quest is Wendy Garret, a pretty
young spitfire who'll do anything to reunite with her long lost brother.
Together, they seek vengeance in a lawless, futuristic frontier, draining
bottles of ketchup and righting wrongs wherever heroes are needed.
With any luck, they'll find the men they seek before the sun sets on
civilization once and for all. |

Baka & Test
When a fight breaks out at Fumizuki Academy, nobody
throws a single punch. Instead, the students utilize the school's
technology to summon Avatars, pint-sized stand-ins with battle powers based
on academic ability. That "academic ability" part is bad news for
Yoshii - because Yoshii's an idiot, stuck in lowly Class F with the
slackers. If these misfits want to escape their dump of a classroom
and earn some respect, they'll have to fight their way up the ranks and take
on Class A, the Academy's brightest students. It's going to be tough,
that's for sure. But once the underachievers of Class F get motivated,
they don't give up - and Yoshii can't even spell surrender! |

Steins;Gate
The microwave is a time machine. Okarin proved it.
The self-anointed mad scientist nuked bananas into some gelatinous version
of the future. Or maybe it was the past. Doesn't matter.
No one thought he could do it, but he did it anyway. He sent text
messages through time to people he knew. To his friends. Some of
them female. Pretty. He should have been more careful. He
should have stopped. Tampering with the time-space continuum attracts
unwelcome attention. Clandestine organizations of nefarious origins
take notice. SERN. Always watching. Okarin knows; he can
feel their eyes. That's why he started the top secret Future Gadget
Lab. To stop them. You should join. We get to wear lab
coats, and it's dangerous. Danger is exciting because it's deadly.
The microwave is a time machine. |

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is anime?
Anime is short for Japanese
animation! We don’t refer to it as “cartoons”, because anime is more than
that – it’s a culture. And it’s definitely not “just for kids”.
When does the WCPL Anime Club meet?
The Anime Club meets every Tuesday from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. For the most up to date anime schedule, check the monthly
calendar or contact Melissa @
miyabita@gmail.com.
Who can attend the WCPL Anime Club?
We take anyone thirteen and up. We do not accept
members under the age of thirteen.
What is the anime rated?
The anime we view is rated TV14 and TVPG. If an anime is rated TVMA,
we will watch this program last, so people can leave if they wish.
Who picks the shows the club watches?
The club as a whole. Voting works as follows. Melissa will
announce ahead of time that a voting day will be coming up and ask for
screening suggestions. She'll then attempt to get the first episodes
of shows for screening. On voting day, the club will watch the pilot
(i.e. first episode) of several different series. At the end of
club, Melissa will hand out voting ballots, which members will fill out in
secret and hand back to her before they leave. Any member not present
on voting day still has the opportunity to vote thru e-mail up to that
Friday. Melissa will then reveal the results at the next club meeting.
Does the club do anything other
than watch anime?
Not at this time. Club members looking to do more
should look into the library's other teen programs or ask about our
Adopt-a-Shelf program for teens needing community service hours.
