August 14th Meeting

Are you ready to go back to school? Mayura spends more time at school in Loki, and the other characters are already learning! In The Twelve Kingdoms, Youko learns about her country, Shoukei learns more about her father's reign, and Suzu learns that she's not as alone as she thinks. In Tactics, little Suzu learns more about Haruka, the demon-eating goblin, while in Tweeny Witches, the parents learn about magic and prophecy. Jin learns how to grill eel in Samurai Champloo, and we learn about kendo with Miya-miya in Bamboo Blade.

Showings are presented in Japanese language audio with English subtitles and are suggested for ages 13 and over unless otherwise specified. Starting times are approximate: Come early! No-Name Anime meetings are presented in and co-sponsored by the Santa Clara City Central Park Library. Many thanks to the library for hosting our meetings! This month, we're in the Redwood Room. Just follow the signs!
