Meetings

General Meeting:
We meet every Monday and Thursday from 8:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. in Bakeless Center Room 105.
We do not have meetings on college holidays or if classes have been canceled for the remainder of the day.

Usually before our meetings are the time to chat with other members and setup our equipment. We sometimes watch Anime Music Videos, Anime Previews Disks, or listen to some Anime Music and is the time to chat with the officers and bring up any issues before the official start of the meeting.

Our meetings begin with the officers discussing any matters related to the club and allowing any members with issues to raise them. We then proceed to the voting with what anime has been brought by members and varies per meeting.

The officers control the final decision as to if an title is acceptable for showing.
Acceptable Material: Anime, Anime & Manga based Live-Action, East Asian Movie, Fansubs.
Illegal Material: Hentai, Sequels that would require members to have seen original series to understand.

Currently we have the equipment to play DVD's. We can play most fansubs on either CD-R/DVD-R format but they should be tested in our computer before watching. We cannot guarantee that we have the equipment to play VHS tapes.
Each member is limited to bringing TWO titles per meeting.

There are normally two rounds of voting. If your birthday occurs during a week where an official meeting is held, you get a double vote!
In the first round all the title is described regardless if a majority of the members know about a particular series or not and voting occurs immediately after the description. Everyone votes as many times as they wish for the available titles in the first round and the titles with the highest vote counts move to the second round. If after the first round of voting more then 5 title are close in the vote count, a re-vote will occur with these titles under the rules of first round voting.
During the seconded round everyone only votes once for the title they like best and the title with the highest vote count wins. In the event of a tie, either a coin-flip or re-vote occurs to get a winner.

Winning title's can only be shown twice per respective year (Spring/Fall) and can only be shown on the day of the week it was initially voted in on. Generally, we get in about 4-5 episodes of a standard show (½ hour episodes) per meeting or until we run out of available episodes. Under normal circumstances we will watch the anime in Japanese with English subtitles unless equipment or DVD problems prevent us from doing so, the winning member recommends to watch the title dubbed, or a majority vote occurs to watch the episodes in English. IF a technical error occurs with the title the member is given one chance to rectify the problem. If the problem cannot be rectified the title which received the second most votes wins by disqualification and so forth.
