Hi members and friends! We hope you had a great O-Week – it was awesome fun for us! Relive some of the havoc and check out the photos and videos of 2010 O-Week on our facebook group page, as well as some of the adventures of Domo-kun during these 3 days.

With O-Week just behind us, we’re launching into events already!

City Tour

Travel with us and discover Sydney’s anime-related stores and eating hideouts. We will meet outside Fisher Library at 11.30am (departure at 12.00nn); look out for the friendly exec team in the club t-shirts. Also, wear comfortable shoes and bring your membership card!

Welcome BBQ

Our traditional Welcome BBQ is back in Week 1! We will be waiting for you on Tuesday (March 2nd) with the Manning Building BBQ at 3 – 5pm with free food and a drink (while stocks last) for members. Come with your appetites and membership cards!

Have a great semester, members and friends – and see you again very soon!

Semester 2 is drawing to a close and I hope everyone did well on their exams.
While Uni mght be over, SUAnime isn’t so come to our next events which will be held sometime in the near future. We will also be doing another revamp of the website so that we can bring even more new fresh content to you guysand be reviewing what we usually post up here.

Do come to the Christmas party as it’ll be an extremely awesome event and a great time to wind down after all the hard stress from exams. It will be held in December and there will be some prizes up for grabs at the event.

Also Japanese film festival is running from the 24th of November and SUAnime will be going to watch one of their only anime film, Summer Days with Coo. Everyone is welcome to join us.

Finally I would like to thank all our members for supporting us through this tough year and creating what is the anime community in the University of Sydney. I would also like to thank our past executives for all their hard work over the year and best wishes to those leaving us.

It’s been a blast!.

Hey look the trivia is here! Again!

The Trivia Night, also known as the Shameless Excuse To Sit Around A Room In Carslaw Eating Pizza And Watching Suzaku Laugh For Ten Minutes, was a hit last year (all right, a light tap) and this time we are giving more advance notice like we are supposed to!

The idea is simple: Show up, have something to drink, do some trivia, have some pizza, and hang out. Mostly the trivia part. The questions are mostly multiple choice, but I’m going to try and mix it up this year with some different things. The questions are mostly anime-related because otherwise it would just be silly, but we do our best to make the trivia accessible to everyone.  To give you an idea, here are some sample questions from last time:

Which of the following anime series is NOT based on an RPG?
a) Tales of the Abyss
b) Valkyria Chronicles
c) Phantom of Inferno
d) Star Ocean

Which of these is not a Pokemon?
a) Charmander
b) Blaziken
c) Darkrai
d) Yoshi

In TTGL, Simon leaps through time and space to stop Rossiu from killing himself by…
a) Talking him out of it
b) Tying him up
c) Forgiving him
d) Punching him in the face

(No you don’t need to send me the answers. I forgot them anyway!)

There are all kinds of categories ranging from the latest season of anime to the oldest shows to Janken King to Books Written By People Who Were Assassinated By The Irish Republican Army (back by popular demand!). Prizes are up for grabs, though personally I think the good times and the pizza are reward enough.

It is free entry, though there is a pizza tax ($5 for members and $8 nonmembers, which gets you a whole pizza to yourself and a free drink). Additional drinks are probably  $1.

RSVP to me at events@suanime.org by noon on Thursday the 24thwith the usual details. Specify a pizza preference as well because we are going to order the pizza shortly after six, and you can either give your pizza pref in email, show up ON TIME or beg for scraps.

See you there!
