Location: DCC 318
Description: “I have a message from another time…”

Get ready for a night of anime-fueled wackiness, hosted by me, Genericon Ex-Con Chair and graduating senior Evan Minto. It’s been a fun four years with the RSFA and Genericon, so as a going-away present I’ll be taking the stage on Sunday, May 12 in DCC 318 at 8pm for a clipshow like no other.

Inspired by the classic con clipshow “Anime Hell” (not to be confused with AMV Hell), this will be a night of short clips from the best anime and the “best” anime, all filtered through my love of wacky ’80s and ’90s Japanese cartoons. Opening and ending songs! AMVs! Hilarious anime scenes! Think you can handle the cosmic bombast of Gunbuster followed up with the abomination that is MD Geist? This is the showing for you. Come on by this Sunday to kick off Finals Week in style with the RSFA!
