A Big Thanks To All The Fans For MegaCon 2011!

MegaCon this past weekend was a big deal for many fans, and Propeller Anime Club was proud to be a part of the convention! Our members hosted many panels that covered Neon Genesis Evangelion, Rumiko Takahashi's works, Pokemon, MANIME, Axis Powers Hetalia and much more!

Not only that, but we also hosted events that included Super Anime Trivia, Anime Debate Tournament, the Quickdraw! Contest, Ninja Olympics and the convention-ending Karaoke Party!

We had a lot of fun at those events and we hope you did as well, whether you participated or watched!

We took many photos and filmed many events and we plan to get those up for you all to check out as soon as we can! We'll announce our contest winners this week too!

If you like what we did at MegaCon and want to get involved with us, we do hold meetings in Winter Park twice a month to watch lots of anime.

As a matter of fact, we'll be having a meeting this Sunday, April 3rd at 1:00PM at the Full Sail University campus. Room to be announced tomorrow! (You don't have to be student or staff to attend meetings.)

We'll be starting three series(Durarara!!, Record of Lodoss War, and Gunbuster) and finishing up the meeting with Hayao Miyazaki's classic debut film as a director, Castle of Cagliostro! We'll also be talking MegaCon and planning when we shall see REDLINE at the Florida Film Festival in April!

Other than that, I personally would like to thank my awesome crew for making this MegaCon run so well! That would be George T, Carlos R, Zak W, Steven G, Jessica R, Noah R, Emilio C, Jean-Louis, Fuzzy, Bhrohammer, Tara, Goggins, Scott W, Shawn W, Russbus, and Waldo for putting in a tremendous amount of work this weekend!

But that is not all!

Thanks for the love, FUNimation!

Remember that super cool dude Rojas we met at MegaCon? With the pretty hair? Yeah he's a pretty cool guy who sells anime and doesn't afraid of anything. We also stay in touch and he just put up a nice post on FUNimation's blog about the Kanpai, Anime! event happening next Tuesday!

You can read about it here. As for the event itself, a Facebook page has been created for it. RSVP for it and show up! It will be awesome! We're showing the BluRay of Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone. The event is free and at Tatame Lounge at 223 W. Fairbanks Ave. Winter Park, FL.

He was also nice enough to link to this blog, which I am very appreciative of! For those who found us through there, we meet twice a month at Full Sail University. You do not have to be a Full Sail student to come to meetings but you do have to be over the age of 18. We also ask that you don't be some crazy fanatic about anything(i.e. a Narutard or any other series equivalent).

If those two things don't apply to you, then you are welcome to our meetings! We show lots of cool stuff and finish each meeting off with a feature showing(like a movie or short OVA). We also do events at conventions like MegaCon and the upcoming Anime Festival Orlando.

Our next meeting will be on Sunday, July 11th! We'll be doing a super robot anime potluck to show off some of the coolest anime Japan has ever made. More details will come soon!

An Epic MegaCon time!

Hey everyone, thanks for coming out to MegaCon and checking us out! We did awesome events such as the Ninja Olympics, the Quickdraw! Contest, and the Sunday afternoon Karaoke. We also hosted great panels such as "Anime is Already Dead?", "Rebirth of Evangelion", the "Panel about Everything!", "How to be a Pokemon Master", "It's MANIME! The Manly Anime panel", "Otaku Survival Guide", and "G.I.T.S. - Analysis of Ghost in the Shell".

If you stopped by any of these events, we hope you had lots of fun! We would also like to thank Anime Sushi for letting us host those events and giving us the opprotunity to shine!

Personally, I want to thank Noah, Waldo, Emilio, Jean Louis, Zak, Steven, Veronica, Liam, Tara, Kurt, Brent, AJ, and Roger for stepping up and kicking ass this past weekend! Not only did some host events, but everyone got involved with helping Anime Sushi out behind the scenes and they were more than willing to help out a new friend of ours at the FUNimation booth during MegaCon. I am truly proud of each and every one of you!

I would also like to thank the extended family of the Propeller Anime Club for their contributions during the weekend. Jess, Jared, Shawn, Fuzzy, John, Brandon, Victor, and Brotha Kyo: You guys did awesome and we truly appreciate working with you!

We hope that those of you who found out about us at MegaCon will stay in touch! We are planning to have a meeting on March 28th. We need a lot of rest after MegaCon and some details will be coming soon. I believe that Anime Sushi will be holding a meeting on this Saturday, March 20th. Stay tuned to both of us as we wrap up a great convention and the memories that have come from it!

Once again, thank you all for coming!
