Welcome!

, Welcome to the Anime @ Carleton Club, devoted to the exposure of Japanese animation ('Anime') at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The club is meant to be a medium through which students and the Anime community in Ottawa can share their love of Anime (and their CDs/DVDs ^^). We hold frequent Anime showings, which encourage you to meet people with similar interests. Anyone can participate: from the simply curious, to the Anime-Otaku. You can get involved in the club, or just show up to enjoy the shows.

The club now has a new email system. The new emails can be found in the ‘Contact’ section (the ‘Executives’ and ‘Officers’ sections have also been updated); the old emails will continue to be listed for the next couple of weeks.

A@C Summer Showings

Summer Showings will be starting within the next few weeks, perhaps as soon as Friday, May 9th. Keep checking back so you don’t miss any. As a reminder the showings will follow our normal timetable, 5:30pm to 11:00pm with a break in the middle, and they are free admission.

Exams are over and slowly but surely Spring is making its appearance. Hopefully everyone had a good exam period and is looking forward to the summer. Besides A@C Summer Showings, SOAP is planning a number of events over the summer, and the uOttawa Anime Club has announced they will be doing showings. The Ottawa area won’t be short of Anime events this summer.

See you at the Summer Showings.

Welcome to the new Anime @ Carleton website!

The site was designed and created by our new Webmaster, Jessica, who will be more active with the club come the fall. There will be more features added within the coming year, like a completely new forum.

Have a look around and hope you all enjoy the new look.

A@C Summer Showings

This summer A@C will be hosting a number of summer showings. Starting sometime in May (there will be at least one week’s notice) and running until August. The showings will not have continuing series throughout the summer, but will instead be individual showings, that way you can come and go as you please. There will be no membership required for the showings over the summer. They will consist of small series, Anime movies, and possibly a marathon or two (that may mean an all night Anime showing). Another idea that is a concept at the moment is a showing devoted to classic/art-house/overlooked Anime. Keep checking back for updates.

SOAP Socials

Due to AC-Cubed taking a year off until 2009, SOAP will be hosting a number of showings/socials over the summer to keep the Ottawa Anime fans happy. Besides checking their website we will also be posting their events in the ‘Events’ section.

Hopefully the exam period has gone well for everyone. We at A@C wish everyone a safe and relaxing summer.

See you at the Summer Showings.
