Move over Traditional November because today we celebrate anime. We
bid farewell to the eloping couple in Toradara. We'll cry for Sayaka
in Madoka Magica and laugh at humans and squid alike in Squid Girl.

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 Cedar Room. Just follow the signs!
