OUR NEXT ANIME
We have bid a fond farewell to Black Lagoon, and at our next meeting we will also say goodbye to Black Butler(Kuroshitsuji).
It’s time to gather some suggestions! The idea is to gather a list of anime and then create a poll, where you all can vote on what anime you would like to view with the group next. Please visit the forum and give us your suggestions:

HELP JAPAN!
A powerful 8.9 earthquake struck off the coast of northeastern Japan at 2:46 p.m. JST on Friday March 11, 2011, and a series of aftershocks followed. The Japan Meteorological Agency reported that the initial earthquake measured 8.8 on the Richter scale, while the U.S. Geographical Survey listed the earthquake’s magnitude at 8.9. A large tsunami hit Miyagi and other northeastern prefectures. The growing nuclear concerns after the earthquake and tsunami have resulted in may people being evacuated from their homes.

“Mix Tape” music exchange!
Remember when you used to make “mix tapes” for your friends of songs you really liked? Wouldn’t it be cool to share your favorite music with your friends here at JAPC?
Your JAPC DAY!!
Each member gets a “day” where they can share whatever they’d like. This might be something like 1 hour of anime, games, internet videos, art projects, panel discussion, or whatever as long as it’s not Hentai.
Talk about what you’re watching/reading!
