Movie Nights! Because movie nights are magical events that
bring joy to the hearts of many, PLU Anime Club hosts two anime films
one Saturday night each month. We invite you to join us for a showcase of Japanese joy. |

October 25th - Anime Monster Movie Night
 The occult has always been a topic of interest in anime. From vampires and witches to ghosts and demons, the supremely supernatural excites and entertains the world over! We'll be watching two films (start your suggestions... NOW!), eating many magical munchies, and maybe even having a costume contest. Suggestions so far: Vampire Hunter D (the original and Bloodlust) and Kiki's Delivery Service. Also, as a club fundraiser, (because we are poor) I'll be selling these fantastically custom-designed posters (11x17", full-color, and designed by your fantabulous club president) to whoever wants one. $2, and without staple puncture marks. September 13th - Anime Interest Night
May 10th - Jubei-a-thon
April 12th - Laputa: Castle in the Sky and The Cat Returns
March 8th - FLCL
February 9th -Paprika and TekkonKinkreet
TekkonKinkreet is the story of two boys named Black and White trying to survive in a gritty world of crime and disorder. Oh, and there are some funky aliens, amusement parks, and magic powers, too.
A Brilliant Idea! What if we had two movie nights each month? Say, every other Saturday? Contemplate it, peoples. |

It's going to be a comfy-cozy family-friendly night; but don't think that means that it will be boring. Both films are Hayao Miyazaki-flavored spectacles, and while The Cat Returns is more comedic and light-hearted, Laputa has excitement and adventure (some robots and a magic tree, too). Add a few air pirates and tuxedo cats, and you have a pretty good idea of what Movie Night will be like. Enjoy!
Fooly Cooly, Furi Kuri... call it what you will, this high-octane, six-episode series is a must-see Anime fun fest! You'll see everything from aliens to guitars, Elvis impersonations to South Park parodies, and giant robots to bunny girls. Fantastic soundtrack, great visuals, and some of the best humor Anime has to offer.
In Paprika, a team of scientists unlock the gateway to the world of dreams, and the consequences place them in a struggle between the imaginary and the real as the two begin to merge.
