| 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.

Slayers Try
In a land beset by the forces of evil, a solitary light
shines forth with the hope of salvation... but that's a far different story!
Meet Lina Inverse, a spunky sorceress with a penchant for
fire, who enjoys nothing more than liberating the unearned from those less
deserving. Teamed up with her strapping, yet strapped for brains,
faithful sidekick Gourry, her ambitious young protégé, Amelia, and the
ever-stoic Zelgadis, this ragtag team of misfit adventurers find more
trouble than they could possibly hope for, and nowhere near enough plunder! |

Working'!!
Set in a family restaurant in Hokkaido, the northern
prefecture of Japan, 16 year old high school student Takanashi Souta works
part-time along with his strange co-workers: Taneshima Popura, a high school
girl who looks to be about 12 but is actually older than Souta; Kyouko
Shirafuji, the lazy manager with a big appetite; Yachiyo, a sweetheart girl
who idolizes Kyouko and carries around a katana with her everywhere, and
androphobic Inami who can hardly resist hitting men because she fears them
so much. |

Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori
Somewhere in the vast sea of the Internet, there's a
website that can only be accessed at the stroke of midnight. Known as
the Jigoku Tsushin, rumor has it that if you post a grudge there, the Jigoku
Shoujo will appear and drag whoever torments you into the inferno.
Very little is known about the girl - all we know for sure is that she lives
with her equally enigmatic grandmother, that three magical straw dolls
accompany and serve her, and that whenever a posting on the Jigoku Tsushin
moves her, she becomes the Jigoku Shoujo. |

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 age fourteen and up. Thirteen-year-olds may attend if
they have had their parents sign a parental permission form. As of
April 2011, we are no longer accepting members younger than 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?
We will occasionally have a cosplay party, but for the most part, no.
Club members looking to do more and volunteer at the library's other
programs should speak to Melissa about becoming a Teen Advisory Board
member.
